Ultrasonographic description of splenic lesions as cavitated had poor diagnostic utility in predicting presence of hemangiosarcoma or malignancy
To assess the diagnostic value of the ultrasonographic description of a splenic mass or nodule as cavitated in dogs with nontraumatic hemoabdomen.106 dogs with a nontraumatic hemoabdomen that...
These findings are expected to support the diagnosis and treatment of cognitive diseases in cats and people.
The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies at the University of Edinburgh, in conjunction with the University of California, has found that key proteins linked to cognitive diseases are found...
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in humans are associated with electrolyte shifts and diarrhoea. Chronic inflammatory enteropathies (CIE) in dogs produce inflammatory lesions usually located more...
Females were twice as likely to acquire infection as males
Mycoplasma haemofelis is the most pathogenic haemoplasma species that affect cats. M. haemofelis may cause an acute infection that leads to haemolytic anaemia. The objective of this study was to...
Cefovecin was the most commonly prescribed antimicrobial for all conditions, followed by amoxicillin-clavulanic acid
The aim of this study was to evaluate initial antimicrobial therapy in cats diagnosed with upper or lower bacterial urinary tract infections at veterinary practices in the USA and Canada.
Symptomatic cases had higher alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, and alanine transferase activities than did incidental cases
Ursodeoxycholic acid is used in human medicine for litholytic management of choleliths, but the efficacy of medical management in dogs with cholelithiasis is unknown.
The MPV and PVDW for CPV infected dogs were significantly higher compared to controls
Bacterial translocation from the damaged intestinal tract, reported in canine parvoviral (CPV) enteritis, is thought to be responsible for the systemic inflammatory response resulting from coliform...
To evaluate possible discriminatory clinical, laboratory and ultrasonographic features to differentiate LGITL from LPE
Low-grade intestinal T-cell lymphoma (LGITL) is the most common intestinal neoplasm in cats. Differentiating LGITL from lymphoplasmacytic enteritis (LPE) is challenging because clinical signs,...
The aim of this study was to determine whether high-protein and high-carbohydrate diets exert differential effects on serum cholesterol, triglyceride and fructosamine concentrations in healthy cats.
A randomised, crossover diet trial was performed in 35 healthy shelter cats. Following baseline health assessments, cats were randomised into groups receiving either a high-protein or...
On July 15, 2021, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fully approved Tanovea to treat lymphoma in dogs. Tanovea was initially granted conditional approval in December 2016 under...
Forty-six percent of affected animals were injured before 2 years of age
The imaging and electrodiagnostic (EDX) characteristics of traumatic brachial plexus injury (TBPI) are incompletely reported.To describe the epidemiological, clinical, and EDX characteristics of...
Early mortality (0-2 days of age) occurred in 69% (20/29) of affected neonates
The neonatal period in dogs remains associated with high mortality rates. Sepsis is the main cause of neonatal losses during the first three weeks of life. Additionally, failure in the clinical...
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...
Results indicated that cystine uroliths dramatically increased in North America
To compare mineral types of naturally occurring uroliths in ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) from North America, Europe, and Asia and to identify potential risk factors associated with cystine...
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...
