Cyclosporine treatment was associated with a significant reduction in serum Spec fPL concentrations
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a common disease in middle-aged to older cats. Cyclosporine has been suggested as an alternative treatment when other immunosuppressive treatments are insufficient or...
Low serum folate concentrations were observed in some dogs with non-associative IMHA
Folate deficiency in people can occur in conditions causing increased demand, including haemolytic anaemia. This has not been investigated in dogs with non-associative immune-mediated haemolytic...
Nimustine was well tolerated and showed clinical outcomes similar to lomustine in cats with lymphoma
Nimustine, similar to lomustine, is an alkylating agent from the nitrosourea family. There have been some reports regarding lomustine treatment for tumour-bearing cats. However, information regarding...
PVAS and SCORFAD improved by ⩾50% in 61% and 88% of cats, respectively

Regurgitation is a potential complication in anesthetized patients. A patient who regurgitates under anesthesia can suffer damaging complications such as aspiration pneumonia, rhinitis, and...
The proportion of resistance was higher than expected and supports the use of blood cultures in cases of suspected infection resulting in bacteremia
There is no consensus on obtaining blood cultures routinely in companion animals with suspected sepsis, and there is a paucity of evidence concerning their utility. The objectives of this...
All dogs showed a significant reduction in antibody titers for L. infantum, globulins and gamma globulins
Immunotherapeutic drugs, such as domperidone, have been shown to be promising treatments against canine leishmaniosis (CanL), but limited data are available. The aim of this pilot study (therapeutic,...
The emphasis is on reviewing current and emerging modalities to reduce environmental exposure to cat allergens
