“…all other hospital presentations) demonstrated Border Collies, spaniels, Golden Retrievers, Kelpies, Labrador Retrievers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers and Shih Tzus were at a significantly increased risk of developing GSFBD. Recent studies reported GSFBD in the Cocker Spaniel, English Pointer and German Short‐haired Pointer in Australia; however, those reports were isolated case studies and did not attempt to document the prevalence of GSFBD in these breeds compared with the overall dog population. In this current study univariable logistic regression showed that breed was a significant factor in the development of GSFBD, but more work is required to identify the precise factors involved.…”

“…In particular, its ability to contain, resolve and wall off sites of abscessation has proved useful in the management of abscesses in the mediastinum (Franklin and others 2011), pancreas (Johnson and Mann 2006) and prostate gland (White 2000). A similar combination of surgical exploration, debridement, omentalisation and postoperative antibiotic therapy was used in this case series for the management of abscessation of the sublumbar muscles and resulted in long-term resolution of the condition in all patients.…”

The objectives of this study were to report the technique of omentalisation for the management of sublumbar abscessation associated with suspected migrating plant material, the intraoperative and postoperative complications that occurred and the long-term outcome of the cases. A retrospective case series of dogs (n=10) with sublumbar abscessation managed by exploration and drainage combined with omentalisation of the abscess cavity is reported in this study. The sublumbar area was approached through a ventral midline coeliotomy, the abscess was explored, drained, debrided and subsequently packed with omentum. One dog sustained an aortic rupture during exploration of the abscess, the aorta was repaired; there were no postoperative complications. There was long-term (>12 months) resolution of clinical signs in all dogs. Drainage and omentalisation of sublumbar abscesses resulted in complete resolution of signs in all dogs and was associated with a low incidence of complications. Omentalisation is an effective treatment for dogs presenting with sublumbar abscesses associated with suspected migrating plant material.

“…Diseases of the mediastinal pleura are uncommon but include neoplasia, mediastinitis and chronic abscessation (Radlinsky 2012). Mediastinitis and mediastinal abscessation have been most commonly reported as a complication of pyothorax (Rooney and Monnet 2002, Schultz and Zwingenberger 2008, Franklin and others 2011, Brissot and others 2012), the underlying cause for which is often suspected to be inhaled or ingested foreign material (Koutinas and others 2003, Brissot and others 2012). Even if there is no single breed predilection, hunting and working-type dogs are reported to be over-represented (Demetriou and others 2002, Rooney and Monnet 2002, Scott and Macintire 2003b, Johnson and Martin 2007).…”

The medical records of 12 dogs with chronic pyogranulomatous pleural disease unresponsive to medical management were reviewed retrospectively. Resection of the mediastinal pleura (mediastinectomy) was performed through a median sternotomy to remove all diseased and surgically accessible mediastinal pleural tissue. Dogs were re-examined two weeks postoperatively, and long-term outcome was evaluated by contacting owners by phone. Twelve dogs underwent mediastinectomy; additional surgeries included subtotal pericardiectomy (8), lung lobectomy (4) and partial diaphragmatic resection (2). Histology of resected tissue consistently revealed neutrophilic, pyogranulomatous cellulitis/serositis. Foreign material was evident in the mediastinal tissue of five dogs and microorganisms were recovered from three dogs. Two dogs developed pneumothorax immediately postoperatively; one dog developed haemothorax one month postoperatively and was euthanased. Median follow-up time was eight months (range: 6-43 months); eleven dogs were alive and considered to be symptom-free by their owners. Mediastinectomy resulted in complete resolution of symptoms in most dogs (92 per cent) and was associated with a low incidence of major complications. The results of this study indicated that mediastinectomy results in favourable outcome for dogs with chronic pleural pyogranulomatous pleural disease unresponsive to medical management.
