Sigmoidoscopy. A sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows the doctor to examine the inside of a portion of the large intestine, and is helpful in identifying the causes of diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, abnormal growths, and bleeding.
By MeLoveMyPet on in Medium Dog Breeds. There are big dogs and small dogs, and of course, there are the medium dogs. Dogs classified as medium are just about in the middle in terms of size and weight, defined to be between 13 to 24 inches, and around 20 to 60 pounds.
In practice, however, there is a huge gap between the Miniature and Standard dogs - standards are routinely 25â30 inches tall and I have never met one less than about 22â24 inches tall. The international (FCI) standard for the Poodle includes a size between miniature and standard - called the medium or moyen Poodle. They are â35 to 45 cmâ (that is, 13 3/4 to 17 3/4 inches tall). I honestly have no idea why that size hasnât âcaught onâ in the US and UK.
