Abstract Background Capsule endoscopy offers a new method for visualization of the gastrointestinal mucosa in horses where other imaging technologies have diagnostic limitations. Objectives To (1) test the feasibility of...

Abstract Background Current tests for diagnosis and differentiation of lymphoplasmacytic enteritis (LPE) and small cell lymphoma (SCL) in cats are expensive, invasive, and lack specificity. The identification of less inv...

Abstract Background Nodal small cell B‐cell lymphoma subtypes in dogs cannot be distinguished by flow cytometry and information regarding treatment, prognosis, and outcome are limited. Hypothesis/Objectives Objectives ...

Abstract Background There is no standardized methodology to measure antibiotic drug use (AU) in small animal veterinary hospitals. Objectives To estimate AU prevalence in a small animal veterinary teaching hospital and c...

Abstract Background Regional lymph nodes are frequently sampled in cats with suspected intestinal lymphoma; however, their diagnostic value has not been explored. Objectives To investigate whether histologic and immunohi...

Background Clinical signs of urinary tract disease in dogs often lead to prescription of antibiotics. Appropriate diagnostic work‐up could optimize treatment and reduce the risk of inappropriate use of antibiotics. Hyp...

Abstract Background Currently, low‐level evidence suggests loss of ambulation associated with acute thoracolumbar disk extrusion is best treated by decompressive spinal surgery. Conservative management can be successfu...

Abstract Background Videocapsule endoscopy (VCE) is a valuable tool for investigating gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in dogs. Its use is not recommended in dogs ≤4.3 kg, because of risks of GI endoscopic capsule (EC)...

Abstract Background Inhibition of antiapoptotic B‐cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) proteins by small molecule Bcl‐2 homology 3 (BH3) mimetics causes rapid induction of apoptosis of human hematological cancers in vitro and in v...

Abstract Background The immature platelet fraction (IPF), a parameter obtained by the Sysmex XN‐1000V analyzer, is used in humans to differentiate between central (CEN) and peripheral (PER) thrombocytopenia (TP) but ha...

Abstract Background Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) in beef cattle has major welfare and production implications. Effective vaccination against IBK would also reduce antibiotic use in beef production. Object...

Abstract Background Limited information is available regarding the outcome of medical management (MM) of benign ureteral obstruction in cats (BUO). Hypothesis Describe clinical characteristics and outcome of MM of BUO. A...

Abstract Background Primary hypoadrenocorticism (PH) is rare in cats and knowledge about treatment is sparse. Objective To describe cats with PH with a focus on long‐term treatment. Animals Eleven cats with naturally o...

Abstract Background Reports of clinicopathologic features of bronchomalacia (BM) differ because of inconsistent definitions and frequent prevalence of comorbid cardiopulmonary disease. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) seconda...

Abstract Background Gastrointestinal eosinophilic sclerosing fibroplasia (GESF) in cats presents as mass(es) associated with the gastrointestinal tract, mesentery, and abdominal lymph nodes. Hypothesis/Objectives To repo...

Background Diagnostic accuracy of the 3 mm laparoscopic cup biopsy forceps for collection of tissue samples from canine livers is unproven. Hypotheses/Objectives Compare sample surface area and portal triad count between...

Abstract Background Previous studies in dogs with degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD) have identified altered myocardial energy metabolism and oxidation, which might contribute to cardiac hypertrophy. Diets rich in ...

Abstract Background Diagnosis of pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) using the thyrotropin‐releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation test requires blood collection 10 minutes after TRH injection; it is unknown if s...

Abstract Background Left‐sided cardiac volume overload (LCVO) can cause fluid accumulation in lung tissue changing the distribution of ventilation, which can be evaluated by electrical impedance tomography (EIT). Objec...

Background Doxorubicin is a common antineoplastic agent with dose‐dependent cardiotoxic adverse effects, and pre‐existing myocardial dysfunction is a contraindication to its use. Objectives To systematically define t...

Background Reports of chronic hepatitis in dogs caused by Leptospira spp. are confined to small case series. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) allows the identification of spirochetes in liver samples. Consequent...

Abstract Background Heartworms, a cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in dogs, can migrate from the pulmonary arteries into the heart resulting in life‐threatening caval syndrome (CS). Objectives To describe clinical ...

Abstract Background Goats are increasingly popular as both production animals and pets. The frequency of and factors associated with periparturient reproductive complications in goats are largely unreported. Objectives (...

Abstract Background Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is frequently diagnosed in small breed dogs. Pimobendan oral solution has been developed to improve dosing accuracy in small and toy breed dogs. Hypothesis/Objec...
