This book traces the evolution of the dog, from its origins about 15,000 years ago up to recent times. The timing of dog domestication receives attention, with comparisons between different ...genetics-based models and archaeological evidence. Allometric patterns between dogs and their ancestors, wolves, shed light on the nature of the morphological changes that dogs underwent. Dog burials highlight a unifying theme of the whole book: the development of a distinctive social bond between dogs and people; the book also explores why dogs and people relate so well to each other. Though cosmopolitan in overall scope, the greatest emphasis is on the New World, with an entire chapter devoted to dogs of the arctic regions, mostly in the New World. Discussion of several distinctive modern roles of dogs underscores the social bond between dogs and people.
Alternative protein sources are big business in the human food sector, and now, as Arabella Gray discusses, that drive for more sustainable and meat‐free living is moving to the pet food market.
La luxación rotuliana es uno de los problemas ortopédicos importantes en los perros. La luxación rotuliana, que se ha aceptado como un trastorno del desarrollo en los últimos años, suele ocurrir en ...la parte media en las razas pequeñas y en la parte lateral en las razas grandes. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el tratamiento quirúrgico (trocleoplastia femoral, transposiciones de tuberosidad tibial y técnicas de imbricación en conjunto), complicaciones postoperatorias, resultados tempranos y tardíos en perros con luxación rotuliana. En este estudio se utilizaron 32 perros con luxación rotuliana de grado 3 y grado 4. Si bien la luxación rotuliana se trató en todos los casos, la fractura de tibia se observó en un perro como la complicación más importante. Durante la técnica de transposición de la tuberosidad tibial, se debe prestar atención al proceso de corte y no se debe debilitar la tibia. En conclusión, el uso combinado de la trocleoplastia femoral, la transposición de la tuberosidad tibial y las técnicas de imbricación pueden utilizarse para la luxación rotuliana. La recuperación completa puede no ser posible en las luxaciones rotulianas de grado 4. Palabras clave: Perros con luxación rotuliana; trocleoplastia femoral; imbricación; transposiciones de tuberosidad tibial; complicaciones postoperatorias Patellar luxation is one of the important orthopedic problem in dogs. Patellar luxation, which has been accepted as a developmental disorder in recent years, usually occurs medially in small breeds and laterally in large breeds. The aim of this study was to evaluate surgical treatment (femoral trochleoplasty, tibial tuberosity transpositions and imbrication techniques together), postoperative complications, early and late results in dogs with patellar luxation. Thirty-two dogs with grade 3 and grade 4 patella luxation were used in this study. While patellar luxation was treated in all cases, tibia fracture was seen in one dog as the most important complication. During tibial tuberosity transpositions technique, attention should be paid to the cutting process and the tibia should not be weakened. In conclusion, the combined use of femoral trochleoplasty, tibial tuberosity transposition and imbrication techniques can be used for patellar luxation. Complete recovery may not be possible in grade 4 patellar luxations. Key words: Dogs with patellar luxation; femoral trochleoplasty; imbrication; tibial tuberosity transpositions; postoperative complications
