Abstract Background The pathogenesis of gallbladder (GB) mucoceles in dogs is unknown. It has been proposed that hyperlipidemia could impair GB motility and contribute to GB mucocele formation. Hypothesis/Objectives The ...

ABSTRACT Background Thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) could improve antibiotic treatment selection in cattle with respiratory diseases. Hypothesis/Objectives Evaluate the association between respiratory pathogens and consol...

Background Acute pancreatitis in dogs is an under‐diagnosed disease. Current diagnostic methods are insufficient at identifying sequelae and lack prognostic capability. Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is accurat...

Abstract Background Pseudomembranous cystitis (PMC) in cats is a recognized disease, but concurrent mineralization is reported rarely and its outcome is poorly described. Hypothesis and Objectives Describe a population o...

Background Biliary sludge is associated with gallbladder (GB) dysmotility and mucus hypersecretion suggesting a link between biliary sludge and the formation of GB mucoceles (GBM). If biliary sludge progresses to GBM, tr...

ABSTRACT Background The depth of lung consolidation (≥ 1 and ≥ 3 cm) on thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) is increasingly used as a criterion for antimicrobial treatment. However, its association with bacterial in...

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 Ursodeoxycholic acid is used in human medicine for litholytic management of choleliths, but the efficacy of medical management in dogs with cholelithiasis is unknown. Objectives To describe the clinic...

ABSTRACT Background Revisiting the association between heart disease and renal infarction (RI) in cats is relevant to determine whether those with RI should undergo echocardiographic screening. Objective Compare the rela...

In human beings, intrarenal blood flow impedance, expressed as the resistive index (Rl) and obtained by duplex Doppler ultrasonography, has been used to aid in diagnosis and prognosis of renal failure. Higher than normal...

Abstract Background Approximately 75% of hyperthyroid cats lose muscle mass as accessed with a muscle condition scoring (MCS) system. After treatment, MCS improves as the cats regain muscle mass. Objectives To quantify t...

Abstract Background Hyponatremia is common in horses with bacterial pleuropneumonia, but no further characterization of this abnormality has been reported. Objectives Describe admission plasma sodium concentration ([Na])...

ABSTRACT A 4‐year‐old spayed female domestic shorthair cat was evaluated for a three‐day history of dyspnea and lethargy. Abdominal ultrasonography and thoracic radiographs revealed the presence of abdominal and pl...

Abstract Background In dogs with a congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (EHPSS), outcome after surgical attenuation is difficult to predict. Objectives Develop a minimally invasive test to predict outcome after su...

Abstract Background Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are the most common congenital cardiac defect in horses. Objectives To identify prevalence, age, breed, and sex distribution of VSD and to describe associated clinica...

Abstract Background Microscopic nephrocalcinosis is a common pathological feature of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cats. Detection of macroscopic nephrocalcinosis using ultrasonography and its implications remain unexp...

Abstract A 10‐year‐old Irish Sport Horse gelding developed complications from a general anesthesia resulting in sling support and recurrent urinary catheterization. The horse subsequently presented signs of dysuria a...

Abstract A 15‐year‐old Miniature Horse mare with persistently increased plasma calcium (total and ionized) and serum parathyroid hormone concentrations was presented for suspected primary hyperparathyroidism. Ultraso...

Background Current screening tests for Rhodococcus equi pneumonia in foals lack adequate accuracy for clinical use. Real‐time, quantitative PCR (qPCR) for virulent R. equi in feces has not been systematically evaluated...

Abstract Background Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is a noninvasive imaging modality that can identify mucosal lesions not detected with traditional endoscopy or abdominal sonography. In people, VCE is used in diagnostic ...
