ABSTRACT Background Protein‐losing enteropathy (PLE) in dogs often carries a guarded prognosis, and it is unclear if survival differs among breeds. Hypothesis/Objectives Survival of pugs with PLE is shorter than that o...

ABSTRACT Background The survival of dogs with pheochromocytoma (PCC) treated with adrenoreceptor antagonists has not been described or compared to surgically managed cases. Hypothesis/Objectives The objective of this stu...

ABSTRACT Left atrial decompression (LAD) using transseptal puncture followed by balloon atrial septostomy recently has been described as a palliative minimally invasive procedure in dogs with advanced degenerative mitral...

ABSTRACT Background Serum symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) is abnormally increased in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Changes in dogs with gastrointestinal disease, such as protein‐losing enteropathy (PL...

Abstract Background Fitness assessment of horses remains challenging. Heart rate variability (HRV) can be used to monitor human athlete's training, but its value is unknown in horses. Hypothesis The linear domain HRV var...

ABSTRACT Background The FreeStyle Libre 3 (FSL3) has several improvements compared to previous FreeStyle Libre systems, but its accuracy has not yet been determined in cats. In diabetic people, FSL3 offers increased accu...

ABSTRACT Background Corticosteroids (CS) are a common treatment prescribed for dogs with brain tumors, but little data characterizing the clinical and neuroradiologic effects of CS treatment exist. Hypotheses Decreases i...

ABSTRACT Background Adverse events (AEs) are under‐reported in veterinary medicine. The ability to report AEs directly from the practice management system (PMS) has been suggested to facilitate reporting. The Small Ani...
