RESUMEN
Surgical treatment of dislocations of the hip by a modified toggle as described by Knowles (1953) usually results in a very rapid and permanent restauration of function to normal. An essential feature of this method is the slight surgical injury. This is achieved by using a relatively small toggle and drills with small diameter. The surgical technique and the results of treatment in 18 cats and 10 dogs are reported.

Among 41 catteries, the majority of which were investigated because of problems of chronic pruritus, 27 proved to be infected by Cheyletiella mites. The skin lesions consisted of small erythematous papules with crusts and some loose hairs. After removal of the loose hairs Cheyletiella mites could be collected with adhesive tape for microscopic examination. Human involvement (papular urticaria) was observed in 20% of the cases. Bathing with Lindane was an effective mode of treatment.
