The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of urinary stones in dogs and cats referred to selected veterinary centers in Tehran province. The present study, which is a descriptive and field study, includes a statistical population of 80 cases of 44 dogs and 36 cats who have referred to the mentioned centers during this period and have been evaluated by a designed questionnaire. ‌اند. According to the information obtained in this study, the information is classified according to the type, race, sex, nutrition, types of stones, different sizes and colors of urinary stones by making tables and related charts. The findings of this study showed that the prevalence of urinary stones in females, dogs and cats is higher than males and surgical history such as sterilization increases the risk of urinary stones. Prevalence also varies at different ages and the likelihood of developing urinary stones increases with age. Also, the type and breed of the animal affect the frequency of different types of urinary stones. In the statistical population of this study, the prevalence of urinary stones in dogs and cats of different breeds are struvite stones 24%, struvite stones + calcium oxalate 11%, struvite stones + calcium phosphate 17%, stone Strawite + calcium oxalate + calcium phosphate 10%. Calcium Phosphate + Calcium Oxalate 9%, Calcium Phosphate 8%, Calcium Oxalate 11%, Urate 4%, Urate + Calcium 6%. Manuscript profile

Background: There are many zoonotic diseases between humans and animals that can be a threat to human health. These include gastrointestinal parasites in pets such as dogs and cats.Objectives: Because of the temperate climate in Tabriz city, severe parasitic infections have been reported in animals of the region. These parasitic infections need further epidemiological study and identification of different species, to eradicate various parasitic diseases.Methods: July 2016 to March 2017, 63 stray dogs and 63 domestic dogs from Tabriz city were sampled. Then, using the flotation method, eggs and parasite cysts were identified in infected dogs.Results: By examining the eggs of parasites that were isolated from the feces of stray and domestic dogs, Toxocara in stray dogs with 49.20% and hookworms in domestic dogs with 14.28% had the highest rate of infection, and the lowest rate of infection in stray dogs was related to Cryptosporidium with 7.93%.Conclusions: According to this study, a lower parasitic infection rate was observed in the gastrointestinal tract of domestic dogs. These results refer to the importance of an appropriate living environment, healthy nutrition, and an anti-parasite treatment program. Attention to these issues in the clinic leads the veterinarian to the correct diagnosis. Manuscript profile

Background: Spondylitis is actually vertebral osteomyelitis, and if the infection also involves discs, it is called discospondylitis, which is a complication of diseases such as tuberculosis and Brucellosis. Aims: This study aimed to determine radiological properties of discospondylitis due to tuberculosis and brucellosis infections differentially in German Shepherd dogs. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out in affected German Shepherd dogs with chronic discospondylitis due to tuberculosis (TB) and Brucellosis. Data were collected based on clinical and laboratory symptoms, as well as plain radiography and myelography findings. : In total, 13 dogs were studied, of which 9, including 5 males (55.6%) and 4 females (44.4%), were affected with Brucellosis, and 4, including 2 males (50%) and 2 females (50%), were infected with TB. In the diagnostic imaging of the vertebrae, degenerative lesions in affected dogs with TB were significantly more than those affected with brucellosis (with a significant level P=0.026<0.05). Sclerotic lesions were observed in 44.4% of the brucellosis patients and 25% of the TB patients, while lytic lesions were found in less than 50% of brucellosis patients and more than 70% of TB patients. Conclusion: Based on this study, degenerative and lytic lesions in TB cases were more than brucellosis patients; however, sclerotic lesions in TB patients were less than brucellosis patients. The severity of each of these complications and the site of involvement of the vertebrae can be differential features for diagnosing the radiology of TB from Brucellosis in this breed of dogs.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and response to treatment of grade 3 and 4 periodontal disease in dogs and cats. The present research is field type and has been conducted in selected environments. In this study, cases related to 200 cases of dogs and cats were reviewed and in cases of access to the treatment process of referral bags, the necessary reviews were performed. Evaluations were performed in the form of clinical examinations and questionnaires and the condition of the mouth and teeth, the amount of gingival hyperemia, measuring the depth of the tooth groove, the amount of loose teeth were among the items that were carefully examined by measuring instruments and the depth of the tooth groove. Periodontal probe was measured to assess the grade of the disease. According to the results obtained in this study, it can be stated that the study of factors such as age, racial differences, type of nutrition and the amount of home care can provide comprehensive information about the prevalence and frequency of periodontal disease in dogs and Cats and examining these factors can help in timely diagnosis, treatment and proper prognosis.

Dioctophyma renale(giant kidney worm) included to the order of Ascaridida and family of Dioctophymatidae is a large nematode that causes a rare disease in dogs and humans. Usually found in a moderate climate. In this clinical report, we observed dioctophymosis in a pure breed of dog. A six years old German shepherd dog was referred to a vet hospital in Tehran, Iran, by a history of hematuria and abdominal pain.As a consequence of clinical examination, hematologic work, ultrasonographic evaluation, and urinalysis, the dictiophymosis was diagnosed. Then by unilateral nephrectomy and removing the D.renale, the dog was ameliorated. This disease is hardly ever diagnosed and treated. Because of the zoonotic property of this illness, diagnosis and treatment before necropsy findings are important. Imaging techniques like as sonography, as well as laboratory tests such as urinanalysis, have been shown to be effective diagnostic tools. According to our knowledge,it is the first report in Iran from a pure breed in a temperate and arid region. Manuscript profile

The purpose of this project is to investigate the genetic resistance of Ghezel and Ghezel-Romanov lamb to gastrointestinal parasites in East Azerbaijan province. For this study, were used 10 male and female Ghezel lambs and 10 male and female Ghezel-Romanov lambs. The anti parasitic drug was administered on day of the test and then 2 weeks later. The studied traits included: Famacha test, hematocrit test, fecal score and number of nematode eggs per gram of feces. Data were analyzed using SAS software in a completely randomized design. The results showed that the Famacha test was significant in male and female Ghezel and Ghezel-Romanov mixed breeds (p<0.05). number of nematode eggs in male and female Ghezel-Romanov lambs had a significant decrease compared to Ghezel lambs (p<0.05). number of parasite eggs in Ghezel-Romanov lambs was lower than Ghezel breed, in which male Ghezel-Romanov lambs had the lowest number of parasite eggs (16.2) (p<0.05). Crossbreeding of Ghezel and Romanov increases the relative resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes in terms of traits measured in this study. Manuscript profile
