Abstract Background Radioiodine (131I) is the treatment of choice for hyperthyroidism in cats, but current 131I‐dosing protocols can induce iatrogenic hypothyroidism and expose azotemia. Objectives To develop a cat‐s...

Abstract Primary erythrocytosis (PE) is a rare myeloproliferative neoplasm in cats resulting in the overproduction of erythrocytes. Current treatment modalities include repeated phlebotomy and chemotherapeutic drugs. The...

Abstract Background Information regarding adverse events (AEs) of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is limited. Objectives To evaluate the types and frequency of potential AEs of MMF in dogs with immune‐mediated disease. Ani...

Abstract Background The emergence and spread of multidrug‐resistant organisms (MDRO) present a threat to human and animal health. Objectives To assess acquisition, prevalence of and risk factors for MDRO carriage in do...

Abstract Background Ionized calcium (iCa) is the biologically active fraction of total calcium (tCa) with clinical relevance to evaluate calcium homeostasis, but not all primary veterinarians have access to serum iCa. Fo...

Abstract Background Treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM) in cats typically requires insulin injections q12h‐q24h, posing a major compliance barrier for caregivers. Novel treatments enabling decreased injection frequency...

Abstract Background Urolithiasis in small ruminants has a poor long‐term prognosis, and long‐term clinical outcomes are variable and unpredictable. Objectives To assess the accuracy of preoperative and postoperative ...

Abstract Background Lumbar syringomyelia (SM), lumbosacral pain, and more caudal spinal cord termination are reported in Cavalier King Charles spaniels (CKCS). Data are lacking on the clinical relevance of alterations in...

Abstract Background Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)‐23 is increased first in the sequence of changes associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD)‐mineral and bone disorder. Thus, its measurement may serve as a predict...

Abstract Background Sphingolipids modulate insulin sensitivity in mammals. Increased synthesis of ceramides is linked to decreased insulin sensitivity of tissues. Conversely, activation of the insulin signaling pathway c...

Abstract Background Biological variation of serum indoxyl sulfate (IS), p‐cresol sulfate (pCS), and trimethylamine‐n‐oxide (TMAO) concentrations in cats is unknown. Objectives To determine short‐ and medium‐ter...

Abstract A 10‐year‐old female spayed mixed breed dog was evaluated for diarrhea and vomiting. Diagnostic imaging demonstrated the presence of an intracardiac mass. A modified Seldinger technique was used to access th...

Abstract There are few differential diagnoses for non‐orthopedic thoracic limb lameness in adult dogs aside from nerve tumors and disk‐associated nerve compression; this report introduces another etiology. A 9‐year...

Abstract Background Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a noninvasive brain perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that has not been assessed in clinical veterinary medicine. Hypothesis/Objectives To test the f...

Abstract Background Severe asthma in horses is characterized by structural changes that thicken the lower airway wall, a change that is only partially reversible by current treatments. Increased vascularization contribut...

Abstract Background Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) allows for detection of fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by quantification of the extracellular volume fraction (ECV). Hypothesis/Objectives To qu...

Abstract A 3‐month‐old male cross‐breed dog presented with signs of progressive diffuse brain disease. Noncommunicating congenital hydrocephalus concurrent with cervical syringomyelia was diagnosed on magnetic reso...
