“…The most common endoscopic method for managing the oesophageal stricture is using dilatating balloons. It is important to note that balloon dilation is considered more effective in some cases due to the better control of the dilating segment of the oesophagus (Chae et al, 2021 ). On the other hand, cons of this method are mostly its high costs in some countries, the difficulties in properly matching the right size of the balloon and the need to use appropriate pressure during the procedure.…”

Oesophageal strictures in cats and dogs are relatively rare and the cause of this disorder can be multifactorial. However, the most common cause in cats is an inflammatory process.Conservative treatment strategies for this disorder includes image-guided interventions. Endoscopic methods are a form of a minimally invasive surgical treatment of the oesophageal strictures. Several endoscopic methods for the therapy of this condition are known, one of them is Savary-Gilliard dilators technique.In the present study of a case of oesophageal stricture in a cat, caused probably by doxycycline treatment without water administration, the authors used the Savary-Gilliard dilators as a therapy for its condition. The animal underwent 3 endoscopy procedures, where in the third one no abnormality in the oesophagus was observed. Moreover, the cat was asymptomatic 6 months after the last oesophagoscopy.In the authors opinion, based on the present case, some experience of the authors and previously described studies, the Savary-Gilliard dilators seems to be a safe, effective, relatively cheap and minimally invasive method of the oesophageal stricture therapy in the cat.

Spirocercosis is a common parasitic disease in dogs in tropical and mediterranean regions of the world caused by the nematode Spirocerca lupi. Some dogs with spirocercosis develop sialoadenosis, a condition identified by non‐inflammatory, painless, bilateral enlargement of the mandibular salivary glands. Development of sialoadenosis in dogs infected with S. lupi occurs as a consequence of neurological stimulation caused by larval migration and oesophageal parasitic nodule formation. This report describes the clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment and the treatment outcome of two dogs diagnosed with sialoadenosis caused by spirocercosis. Phenobarbital therapy is useful to control clinical signs shown by the dogs with sialoadenosis secondary to spirocercosis presented at an early stage of the disease. A more favourable disease outcome is possible when phenobarbital therapy is combined with anti‐parasitic medication effective against S. lupi.
