It was a reasonably big spleen my personal preference for spay incision is quite cranial, and probably longer than some. I like to be able to look at my stumps.

Try contacting Anne-Christine Merveille at the University of Liege - her PhD was on cilliary dyskinesia. She also gave a talk at SAMSoc last autumn - if you ask nicely, I will look up the notes for you.

That's interesting, we have a ridgeback with PCD and situs invertus on our books - that's the only other case I've seen. The ridgeback is quite poorly though with frequent respiratory infections. This dog is otherwise perfectly well so I'm assuming/ hoping PCD isn't involved this time.

i was trying to write it as a case report. But very little literature out there on the disease. Maybe I’ll have another look and write it up.

Seen it once and the dog had nasal discharge. We performed CT to ascertain the reason for nasal discharge PCD was suggested as the patient had situs inversus. Usually seen a lot in OESD. This was in a ridgeback.

Same thought here, mind you, with today's all enveloping drapes, gowns, masks, staff and wires leads, dials and screens who knows where the ass or the elbow is!
