Abstract Background In 2020, a novel neurologic disease was observed in juvenile Quarter Horses (QHs) in North America. It was unknown if this was an aberrant manifestation of another previously described neurological di...

Abstract Background Radiographs and ultrasound (US) are the primary imaging modalities used to assess ureteral calculi in cats. Reports describing the use of nonenhanced computed tomography (CT) are scarce. Hypothesis/Ob...

Abstract Background Although thoracic hemivertebra can cause neurological signs, they occur commonly in neurologically normal dogs. Objectives To evaluate whether computed tomography (CT) findings and factors associated ...

Background Microscopic evaluation of urine is inconsistently performed in veterinary clinics. The IDEXX SediVue Dx® Urine Sediment Analyzer (SediVue) recently was introduced for automated analysis of canine and feline u...

Abstract Background Comparative pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of apixaban and rivaroxaban have not been studied in dogs and the propensity of these drugs to cause hypercoagulability after discontinuation ...

Abstract Background Computed tomography (CT) findings of dogs with discospondylitis have not been widely described despite increased availability of this imaging modality. Objectives Describe the CT features of discospon...

Abstract Background Rabacfosadine (RAB), a novel antineoplastic agent conditionally licensed for the treatment of lymphoma in dogs, is efficacious in both naïve and previously treated dogs. Its use in combination with L...

Despite Stebbins’ principle of the most efficient pollinator being proposed decades ago, the most important pollinators are still mainly identified using the frequency of visits to flowers. This shortcoming results in ...

Abstract Background Reflux and aspiration in people are associated with respiratory disease, whereas approximately 50% of healthy adults microaspirate without apparent consequence. In dogs, analogous information is lacki...
