AbstractMucous membrane pemphigoid was diagnosed in a 2.5-year-old male intact foxhound-beagle cross which was presented with an acute onset of non-pruritic, multifocal, slowly progressive erosive-ulcerative dermatitis predominantly affecting the nasal planum, eyelids and muzzle with multiple vesicles on the inner pinnae, oral mucosa and tongue. The diagnosis was based on clinical signs and histological examination of skin biopsies. The patient did not respond to immunosuppressive prednisolone therapy, but went into complete remission with oral doxycycline and niacinamide and stayed in remission on long-term exclusive niacinamide treatment.

All previous studies on feline ischaemic myelopathy (IM) have reported an acute onset of a single event with no recurrence of clinical signs. This study aimed to evaluate clinical and long-term follow-up data in cats presumptively diagnosed with cervical IM in the territory of the ventral spinal artery (VSA). Eight cats (four females and four males) were included with a mean age of 14 years and 2 months. Neurological status at the time of presentation ranged from ambulatory tetraparesis to tetraplegia with nociception present. Six cats had marked cervical ventroflexion. All eight cats were diagnosed with one or more concurrent medical conditions, including chronic kidney disease (n = 2), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (n = 2) and hypertension (n = 6). Median time to ambulation was 5.7 days (range 2–14 days). Long-term follow-up ranged from 7 months to 3 years and 3 months (median 1 year and 2 months). Five cats had no reported recurrence of clinical signs and 3/8 had a chronic relapsing disease course. One cat had an acute recurrence of clinical signs 4 months after the first event and was euthanased. Two cats had acute onsets of suspected intracranial infarctions, one of which had further suspected intracranial infarcts every 3 months and was euthanased after one of these. This study highlights the importance of performing ancillary diagnostic tests in older cats presenting with IM, particularly when VSA embolisation is suspected.

SummaryObjective: Coughing and dysphagia have been described following prosthetic laryngoplasty (LP) with or without ventriculectomy/ventriculocordectomy (VE/VCE) for the treatment of recurrent laryngeal neuropathy. All previous case descriptions include patients with acute onset of clinical signs after surgery that persisted. The authors observed a late-onset of dysphagia and coughing months to years after LP ± VE/VCE. The condition was always associated with an abnormality of the aryepiglottic fold (AEF). Treatment options for those patients are limited. We suggest augmentation of the AEF as treatment for affected horses. The goal of the study was two-fold: Firstly, to describe a new condition of late-onset dysphagia in horses following LP ± VE/VCE associated with an abnormal appearance of the AEF, and secondly, to offer a minimally invasive and successful treatment for those patients. Material and methods: Six horses were presented because of dysphagia and coughing with an onset of months to years after LP ± VE/VCE. Endoscopically, the AEF always appeared thinner and more flaccid to a varying degree. The food path was traceable along the AEF into the trachea using dyed molasses. An initial injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) into the AEF led to immediate improvement of the dysphagia. The procedure was performed in the standing sedated horse. The needle was placed through the cricothyroid ligament and the injection performed under endoscopic guidance. Results: All horses tolerated the injection well. Injection of HA was successful only in the short term in all cases and repeated injections were needed for permanent resolution using either cross-linked HA, polyacrylamide hydrogel or platelet rich plasma. Conclusion and clinical relevance: Horses may develop dysphagia and coughing months to years after LP ± VE/VCE as a late-onset complication. The condition seems to be associated with an abnormal appearance and function of the AEF. Successful treatment is possible by augmenting the AEF. However, careful patient selection is mandatory.
