Studies from University of Saskatchewan provide new data on veterinary research

  2008 NOV 24 - (VerticalNews.com) -- According to recent research published in the Canadian Veterinary Journal - Revue Veterinaire Canadienne, "An 8-year-old, castrated male golden retriever was referred for lethargy and inappetance. Severe pain was elicited on palpation of the left temporomandibular joint region."

  "Computed tomography revealed aggressive bone destruction of the left bulla. Squamous cell carcinoma was diagnosed," wrote H. Yoshikawa and colleagues, University of Saskatchewan.

  The researchers concluded: "Malignant tumor in the canine middle ear is rare."

  Yoshikawa and colleagues published their study in Canadian Veterinary Journal - Revue Veterinaire Canadienne (A dog with squamous cell carcinoma in the middle ear. Canadian Veterinary Journal - Revue Veterinaire Canadienne, 2008;49(9):877-879).
