Abstract Background Dogs with lymphoma that fail cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone chemotherapy (CHOP) before completion of their protocol are commonly thought to have poor long‐term outcome, b...

Abstract Background Sparse information regarding plasma iron concentration in neonatal foals and its utility as an inflammatory marker in this population has been published. Objectives To determine the physiologic plasma...

Abstract Diuretics, such as furosemide, are routinely administered to dogs with congestive heart failure (CHF). Traditionally, dose and determination of efficacy primarily are based on clinical signs rather than quantita...

Abstract Background Improved methodology to measure acute phase proteins and determination of lipoprotein particle‐size distribution (PSD) could be clinically useful in dogs with systemic inflammatory processes. Object...

Abstract Background The effect of clinical history on the interpretation of radiographs has been widely researched in human medicine. There is, however, no data on this topic in veterinary medicine. Hypothesis/Objectives...

Abstract Background Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a common primary cardiomyopathy of cats. However, little information is available regarding prognostic variables in large populations of cats with RCM. Objectives T...

ABSTRACT Background Corticosteroids are used routinely in horses and induce insulin dysregulation (ID). Nutrition is important for ID management and includes low nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) diets and, often, high‐...

Abstract Background Fecal water syndrome (FWS) is long‐standing and common in horses, particularly in central Europe. No large epidemiological data sets exist, and the cause remains elusive. Dysbiosis could play a role...

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 The imaging and electrodiagnostic (EDX) characteristics of traumatic brachial plexus injury (TBPI) are incompletely reported. Objectives To describe the epidemiological, clinical, and EDX characterist...

Abstract Background High‐salt diets promote urine dilution and decrease urolithiasis risk. Objective Prospectively evaluate the safety of chronic high dietary salt intake (randomized controlled trial). Animals Twenty r...

Abstract Background Workload associated with the high frequency Colombian Paso Fino gait has not been evaluated. Objectives To determine the oxygen consumption (V̇O2), heart rate (HR), stride frequency: breathing ratio,...

Background Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) are highly conformal, high‐dose radiation treatment techniques used to treat people and dogs with brain tumors. Objectives To evaluate the ...

Background Despite multiple dilatation procedures, benign esophageal strictures (BES) remain a recurring cause of morbidity and mortality in dogs and cats. Objective Investigate the use of an indwelling Balloon Dilatatio...

Abstract Background The care of sick neonatal foals is labor‐intensive and costly. Prediction of risk of death upon admission is often difficult but might support decision‐making. Objectives To determine diseases and...

Abstract Background Angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are commonly prescribed in dogs, but the ideal dosage is unknown. Hypothesis/Objectives In dogs with cardiac disease, a dose‐response relationship ...

Abstract Background Proliferative urethritis (PU) is an uncommon inflammatory and infiltrative disease of the urethra in female dogs, often associated with urinary tract infection (UTI). It typically presents with eviden...

Abstract Background Romiplostim, a thrombopoietin analog, is commonly used to treat immune‐mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP) in humans, but its use in dogs remains limited. Objectives Evaluate the effects and adverse eve...

Abstract Background Serial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis might be required in clinical neurologic disease. The effect of lumbosacral (LS) or cervical (C1‐C2) centesis on subsequent CSF cytologic analyses has not b...

Abstract Background Polymyxin B (PolyB) is used to treat endotoxemia in horses; neurologic and nephrogenic adverse effects occur in humans. Objectives To describe PolyB adverse effects in horses. Animals Five healthy hor...

Abstract Background Cats with moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) often display clinical signs such as vomiting and decreased appetite, and frequently receive omeprazole or other acid suppressants despite a...
