title: Inflammatory colorectal polyps in miniature Dachshunds frequently develop ventrally in the colorectal mucosa.
abstract: This study explored the hypothesis that inflammatory colorectal polyps (ICRPs) in miniature Dachshunds are more likely to occur ventrally in the colorectum. Angle-fixed colonoscopic images were collected from 11 miniature Dachshunds with ICRPs and randomly rotated. Macroscopic severity at 12 divided angles was scored by four veterinarians blinded to the rotation angle. Mean prevalence and severity scores of ICRPs were significantly higher ventrally than dorsally (P < 0.01).
