To evaluate signalment, clinical presentation, location and type of nasal foreign bodies identified by rhinoscopy in dogs.
We retrospectively reviewed medical records from dogs that presented for consultation between April 2012 and June 2019 and were diagnosed with nasal foreign body via rhinoscopy.
Forty-two dogs met the study's inclusion criteria. Thirty (71.4%; 30/42) were purebreds. Males accounted for 59.5% (25/42) of cases. The median age was 4.0 years old and 76.2% (32/42) were dogs up to 7 years of age. Mean bodyweight was 21.8 kg and dogs weighing more than 10 kg were overrepresented (78.6%; 33/42). Sneezing occurred in 78.6% (33/42) of cases. Foreign body retrieval was achieved by rhinoscopy in all cases. The foreign body was extracted from the right nasal cavity in 52.4% (22/42) of cases and from the left one in 42.9% (18/42). Two dogs (4.8%; 2/42) presented with one foreign body in each nasal cavity. Most nasal cavity foreign bodies (90.5%; 38/42) were grass awns. Three (7.2%; 3/42) were mineral and one (1/42) was fabric. Follow-up was documented for 35 patients, of which 97.1% (34/35) experienced resolution of clinical signs. Seven cases (16.7%; 7/42) were lost to follow-up.
Nasal foreign bodies were more common in dogs up to 7 years of age and heavier than 10 kg. Sneezing was the primary clinical sign. The vast majority of foreign bodies were grass awns and rhinoscopy was an effective means of nasal cavity foreign body retrieval.
评估犬经鼻镜检查发现的鼻腔异物的特征、临床表现、位置及类型。
我们回顾性分析了2012年4月至2019年6月前来咨询并经鼻镜检查诊断为鼻腔异物的犬的病历。
42只犬符合研究纳入标准。其中30只（71.4%；30/42）为纯种犬。雄性占病例的59.5%（25/42）。中位年龄为4.0岁，76.2%（32/42）的犬年龄在7岁及以下。平均体重为21.8 kg，体重超过10 kg的犬占比过高（78.6%；33/42）。78.6%（33/42）的病例出现打喷嚏症状。所有病例均通过鼻镜检查成功取出异物。52.4%（22/42）的病例异物从右侧鼻腔取出，42.9%（18/42）从左侧鼻腔取出。2只犬（4.8%；2/42）双侧鼻腔各有一个异物。大多数鼻腔异物（90.5%；38/42）为草芒。3个（7.2%；3/42）为矿物质，1个（1/42）为织物。35例患者有随访记录，其中97.1%（34/35）临床症状消失。7例（16.7%；7/42）失访。
鼻腔异物在7岁及以下、体重超过10 kg的犬中更为常见。打喷嚏是主要临床症状。绝大多数异物为草芒，鼻镜检查是取出鼻腔异物的有效方法。
