Download or read book Genetic Analysis of Canine Hip Dysplasia written by Kate Leanne Tsai and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The morphologic variability seen in the domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, is unique among mammals. Selective pressures imposed by humans have divided dogs into almost 400 separate breeds. Selection has also led to the development of approximately 450 hereditary diseases, many of which are limited to specific breeds. Over half of these diseases present with similar clinical characteristics to those of many human hereditary diseases, making the dog an ideal model for study of the genetic bases of such diseases. Many diseases do not have candidate genes or have too many candidates to characterize. This is exacerbated in complex diseases that are caused by several genes. Whole-genome scans can provide insight into diseases by identifying marker(s) that co-segregate with a disease phenotype. The Minimal Screening Set - 2 (MSS-2) is the most recent set of microsatellites suitable for whole-genome screens. The first objective of this work was to streamline genomic screens in order to efficiently analyze large numbers of animals. To this end, chromosome-specific microsatellite panels were developed for the MSS-2. Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) is the most common orthopedic disease of the dog. CHD primarily affects medium and large breed dogs, but is found in almost every breed. The major objective of this work was to use linkage analysis to identify chromosomal regions that contain genes that are involved in CHD. Two populations were screened using the MSS-2. The first was a small family of Boykin Spaniels, though no markers were statistically significant in a whole-genome screen. An outcrossed pedigree of Greyhound/Labrador Retrievers was created for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping of CHD. The informativeness of markers in the F2 and backcrossed generations were calculated to show the utility of using such a population. Other factors that affect the power of this pedigree to identify QTL were also highlighted. Chromosomes that were identified in a previous screen as harboring putative QTLs were examined using the chromosome-specific panels to further define and confirm the regions of interest. Although no markers reached statistical significance, several areas of interest were identified.

Download or read book Hereditary Bone and Joint Diseases in the Dog written by Joe P. Morgan and published by Schlütersche. This book was released on 2000 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides unique material that goes far beyond a description of bone and joint disorders alone. Each chapter provides information on the history, pathogenesis, diagnosis (physical and radiographic), therapy and prognosis of a particular canine skeletal disease as well as how the disease will affect the dog's life. The text covers all clinically relevant physical regions in the dog, eg, shoulder, elbow, hip, stifle and tarsus, and presents a group of actual, clinical osteochondrosis cases involving different anatomical locations. The authors address the importance of selection of dogs for breeding, including changes in breed appearance and disease propensity and the effect of high-energy diets in fast-growing animals. Discussion includes the impact of a lifetime of pain for the affected dog and the treatment expense for clients, yet provides steps that help the owner curb the progressive aspects of bone or joint diseases and manage the animal's discomfort. In daily practice client questions about skeletal disorders are routine. This remarkable, instructional text will provide answers, incidence figures, advice about surgery and timing, and honest analyses of treatment failures and successes. Here is a fresh look at OCD, dysplasias and other bone diseases, with realistic assessments and positive directives for pet care and client support.

Download or read book Effective Options Regarding Spay or Neuter of Dogs written by Lynette Arnason Hart and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-07-12 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, spay or neuter of dogs, including early-age spay-neuter, has become a common practice in the United States, intended primarily to reduce overpopulation and therefore relinquishment of dogs to animal shelters and humane societies. Neutering dogs prior to adoption is even, in some localities, a legal requirement. However, recent research has called into question the common wisdom of mandatory and indiscriminate spay-neuter. An important welfare issue is that for some canine breeds, neutering is associated with heightened levels of musculoskeletal disorders and/or certain cancers, while for others no adverse effects of neuter status on diseases are evident. Adverse consequences of early neutering can be particularly troubling for the breeds most often used in working or assistance roles, shortening the working lives of these extensively trained dogs, e.g., Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and German Shepherds. It must also be considered that, in many countries outside of the United States, dog populations are not routinely sterilized and, in some cases, maintain low rates of dog relinquishment. In other cases, where street dog populations are prevalent, results of long-term sterilization program are mixed as to their success in preventing or reducing street dog populations. It is clear that reproduction is not the sole cause of dog relinquishment, and that an outsized focus on sterilization can inhibit efforts to protect animals and, in some cases, be harmful to them. These issues raise questions regarding legal implications, adoption, and methods of controlling reproduction. This Research Topic seeks to provide a scholarly forum addressing the numerous contexts and complexities, including cultural and legal issues related to spay and neuter of dogs. collapse
