✴️Surgical correction by Mammary Mastectomy due to Mammary Gland
Tumors in 6 yr. Old Spayed Labrador Dog.
🔸Mammary tumors are most frequent in older intact bi***es and
queen, but they are found in spayed and other species of animals as well.
✳️A six years old bitch weighing 38 kg was brought to the RVC-Rajkot Veterinary Center with a history of
swelling on the 2nd Left anterior mammary glands on the lower part of the abdomen and the condition starts before 3 months. Moreover,
the size of the swelling had grown progressively starting in the form of lumps with a lack of pain, limping, and licking of the site. Upon clinical presentations, a large-sized with hard mass swelling on her ventral thoracic area in between the left and right part of the second anterior mammary gland.

💠After aseptically preparing each surgical site and keeping the dog in the appropriate position on the patient table, an elliptical skin incision was given on the base of the swelling and advanced gently with blunt dissection by using Metzenbaum scissor. After
careful handling and divulsion of adjacent tissues, the skin, all tumorous mass, mammary tissue, and fat down to the re**us fascia was surgically excised. During dissection, bleeding during the procedure was managed by ligation of the caudal superficial epigastric artery and vein. In addition, applying sterile gauze, using different straight and curved hemostatic forceps and topical infiltration of potassium permanganate was applied on bleeding.

Then, the removed area was well cleaned before closure for both cases.Before skin closure, obliteration of dead space was made through continuous apposing sutures of skin with subcutaneous tissue to prevent accumulation of serosanguinous fluid using 3-0 Vicryl. Finally, the skin was closed with ford interlocking suture pattern using Nylon. Lastly, the area was properly cleaned and dressed and the dog was admitted home after full anesthetic recovery.

✴️Surgical Management of Canine Vaginal Leiomyoma of a 13 yr. Spitz in RVC- Rajkot Veterinary Center, Rajkot.

🔸Leiomyoma is a tumor of smooth muscle cells that may arise in any organ with a connective tissue or mesenchymal component and have been found in many organs including female reproductive tract.

⚕️In RVC a 13 years old Spitz of 11 kg body weight was presented with a gross lesion of large mass around va**na. From history of that bitch, it was informed that this bitch was suffered from this condition 2 years ago and it was increasing day by day. The bitch was facing problem with its locomotion and seating position. Owner noticed that its appetite was abnormal since month and body condition was not good or improved.

🔷After aseptic preparation of members of surgery team and surgical site, incision was performed at the base of the tumor. Small blood vessel was sealed by artery forceps and ligation was done in case of larger one. The mass was not easily visualized and it was noted that the va**na was extremely dilated. It was firm to the touch and had a well-defined stalk attached to the right side dorsal to va**nal wall. The multiple growths was excised. Closure of the excision site was achieved by approximating the mucosa of the va**nal floor as well as occluding the submucosal dead space using 3-0 Vicryl. Skin was appositioned by
using silk.

🐾The dog recovered uneventfully from anesthesia and did not develop postoperative complications such as urine retention or incontinence. She was sent home after recovery
from anesthesia on treatment with systemic antibiotics, anti inflammatory and antioxidants for
the next five days.
