Clinical characteristics of dogs presenting with vomiting as a gastrointestinal sign of chronic enteropathy. Vet Anim Sci 2022; 17:100255. [PMID: 35769538 PMCID: PMC9234693 DOI: 10.1016/j.vas.2022.100255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2022] [Revised: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Some dogs with chronic enteropathy (CE) presented with vomiting without diarrhea. Vomiting was significantly associated with food-responsive enteropathy. Vomiting was significantly associated with higher duodenal eosinophil scores. The survival time was the longest in the vomiting group among dogs with CE.
Vomiting is a major gastrointestinal (GI) sign of chronic enteropathy (CE) in dogs. Previous studies have reported clinical characteristics of dogs with CE, who developed diarrhea with or without vomiting as GI signs. However, to characterize clinical features of dogs with CE appropriately, dogs presenting with vomiting without diarrhea should be included in the analysis. Thus, this study aimed to characterize clinical features and outcomes of dogs that presented with vomiting without diarrhea. Based on their presenting GI signs, we retrospectively classified 66 dogs with CE into “Vomiting”, “Diarrhea”, or “Vomiting and diarrhea” groups and compared clinical and histological characteristics of each group. We found that 18 of the 66 dogs with CE (27%) presented with vomiting without diarrhea as a GI sign. Compared to the other 2 groups, the Vomiting group was significantly associated with food-responsive enteropathy (FRE), Beagle, lower clinical severity scores, higher plasma albumin levels, and higher histological scores for eosinophils in the duodenal lamina propria according to the univariate analysis. The multivariate analysis revealed that FRE and higher histological scores for eosinophils in the duodenal lamina propria were significant variables in the Vomiting group. Moreover, the survival time was the longest in the Vomiting group among dogs with CE. These findings are of clinical significance as they indicate that presenting with vomiting without diarrhea may not only be helpful in differentiating FRE from the other types of CE, but also in predicting the prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To expand the number of conditions and interventions explored for their associations with thrombosis in the veterinary literature and to provide the basis for prescribing recommendations. DESIGN A population exposure comparison outcome format was used to represent patient, exposure, comparison, and outcome. Population Exposure Comparison Outcome questions were distributed to worksheet authors who performed comprehensive searches, summarized the evidence, and created guideline recommendations that were reviewed by domain chairs. The revised guidelines then underwent the Delphi survey process to reach consensus on the final guidelines. Diseases evaluated in this iteration included heartworm disease (dogs and cats), immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (cats), protein-losing nephropathy (cats), protein-losing enteropathy (dogs and cats), sepsis (cats), hyperadrenocorticism (cats), liver disease (dogs), congenital portosystemic shunts (dogs and cats) and the following interventions: IV catheters (dogs and cats), arterial catheters (dogs and cats), vascular access ports (dogs and cats), extracorporeal circuits (dogs and cats) and transvenous pacemakers (dogs and cats). RESULTS Of the diseases evaluated in this iteration, a high risk for thrombosis was defined as heartworm disease or protein-losing enteropathy. Low risk for thrombosis was defined as dogs with liver disease, cats with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, protein-losing nephropathy, sepsis, or hyperadrenocorticism. CONCLUSIONS Associations with thrombosis are outlined for various conditions and interventions and provide the basis for management recommendations. Numerous knowledge gaps were identified that represent opportunities for future studies.

Abstract
A 7-year 6-month-old, castrated male Shiba dog presented with a 1-month history of
lethargy, anorexia, vomiting, and frequent watery diarrhea. Weight loss, hypoalbuminemia,
anemia, and leukocytosis were detected at the first visit. The dog was diagnosed with
non-responsive enteropathy (NRE) based on clinical and histopathological examinations.
Since the dog did not respond to the immunosuppressive drugs, fecal microbiota
transplantation (FMT) was performed during the treatment with chlorambucil. A single
endoscopic FMT into the cecum and colon drastically recovered clinical signs and
clinicopathological abnormalities and corrected dysbiosis in the dog. No recurrence or
adverse events were observed. The present case report suggests that FMT, possibly together
with chlorambucil, might be a treatment option for NRE in Shiba dogs that have poorer
prognosis compared with other dog breeds.

Abstract
Dogs are model animals that can be used to study the gut microbiome. Although the gut microbiome is assumed to be closely related to aging, information pertaining to this relationship in dogs is limited. Here, we examined the association between the canine gut microbiome and age via a bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequence analysis in a colony of 43 Japanese purebred Shiba Inu dogs. We found that microbial diversity tended to decrease with aging. A differential abundance analysis showed an association of a single specific microbe with aging. The age-related coabundance network analysis showed that two microbial network modules were positively and negatively associated with aging, respectively. These results suggest that the dog gut microbiome is likely to vary with aging.

Abstract
Shiba dogs are predisposed to chronic enteropathy (CE) and have poorer prognosis than other dog breeds. The objective of this study was to investigate the significance of polymerase chain reaction for antigen receptor
rearrangement (PARR) results on clinical findings and prognosis of Shiba dogs with CE. We retrospectively collected data on 22 Shiba dogs diagnosed as having CE. Fifty-nine percent of the dogs had clonality-positive results on
PARR analysis. Furthermore, on histopathology, epitheliotropic behavior of small lymphocytes of the intestinal mucosa was observed significantly more frequently in dogs with clonal rearrangement of antigen receptor genes
(P=0.027). The median overall survival time of clonality-positive dogs was 48 days (range, 4–239 days), compared to 271 days (range, 45–1,316+ days) in clonality-negative dogs. The median overall survival time
of epitheliotropism-positive dogs was 76 days (range, 30–349 days) compared to 239 days (range, 4–1,316+ days) for epitheliotropism-negative dogs. Statistical analysis revealed that the clonality-positive result was associated
with significantly shorter survival time (P=0.036). In contrast, presence or absence of epitheliotropism had no statistically significant effect on survival time (P=0.223). These cases might
appropriately be diagnosed as small T-cell intestinal lymphoma; there are some common clinical and pathogenic features with human enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma type 2. The pathogenesis and poor prognosis for Shiba dogs
with CE seem to be associated with this type of lymphoma, although further investigation is warranted.

Abstract
An 8-year-old male Shiba dog presented with chronic vomiting and diarrhea. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed severe enteritis and infection of the duodenal mucosa with Echinostoma hortense. We performed therapy for parasites and enteritis. The therapy was successful for deworming and temporarily improved the symptoms, but the dog died soon thereafter. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case report of an antemortem diagnosis of E. hortense infection in a dog.

Abstract
Background The objectives of this study were to investigate the differences in the characteristics of short- and long-term surviving dogs, and the factors that predict poor outcome in Shiba dogs with chronic enteropathies (CE). Methods A total of 25 Shiba dogs were included in this study, and classified as either short-term (≤6 months) survivors (Ss; n=16) or long-term (>6 months) survivors (Ls; n=9). The clinical and clinicopathological variables, histopathology, response to therapy, and outcomes were investigated between groups. Furthermore, these factors were tested for their ability to predict poor outcome. Results All CE dogs were diagnosed as having inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with lymphocytic-plasmacytic enteritis (LPE). Age and canine inflammatory bowel disease activity index (CIBDAI) were significantly higher in the Ss group than in the Ls group (age: p = 0.035, CIBDAI: p = 0.018), as determined via univariate logistic regression analysis. According to receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the best predictors of poor outcome were age and CIBDAI, with the cutoffs determined as 7 years and 9 points, respectively. The majority of the cases (84%) responded to initial treatment; in particular, 75% of dogs in Ss group responded to therapy. The time to response (days) to the initial treatment in the Ss group (median 42.5 days, range: 20-91 days) was significantly shorter than that of the Ls group (median 285 days, range: 196-1026 days). Approximately half (55.5%) of the dogs in the Ls group died due to relapse of CE. Conclusions This study suggested that there is a high risk of early mortality in Shiba dogs with CE, particularly if the dogs are older (>7 years) and have a high CIBDAI score (>9 points). There appears to be a possibility of early mortality even if the initial treatment was efficacious. Furthermore, Shiba dogs with CE that become less responsive to initial therapy in the short-term (approximately 3 months) are more likely to have an early mortality. Thus, it is necessary to follow-up Shiba dogs with CE in the long-term, as approximately half of the long-term survivors eventually died due to a relapse of the signs.

Abstract
Distended lacteals, described as expanded white villi in duodenum, are strongly indicative of primary intestinal lymphangiectasia. In the present study, we evaluated the significance of white spots present in the duodenal mucosa of dogs with lymphocytic plasmacytic enteritis (LPE). Fifty dogs with LPE were included in this study, and white spots were detected in the duodenal mucosa in 22 dogs during endoscopy. Hypoproteinemia was more frequent in dogs with white spots than in dogs without spots (p = 0.02). Serum protein and albumin concentration were significantly lower in LPE dogs with white spots (p = 0.038) compared to LPE dogs without white spots (p = 0.039). There was a significant correlation between white spots density and lymphatic dilatation histological scores (p = 0.023; ρ = 0.481). These results suggest that the presence of white spots in the duodenal mucosa of dogs is not a finding exclusive for intestinal lymphangiectasia. Low serum protein and albumin concentrations together with lymphatic dilatation seem to be related to the presence of white spots in the duodenal mucosa of LPE dogs.
