ABSTRACT Background Transtracheal wash (TTW) is frequently used to characterize respiratory disease in companion animals, cattle, and horses, but no description of TTW methods or fluid analysis in healthy goats is availa...

Abstract Background Sampling from a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) might be a more efficient and less traumatic collection of blood for serum biochemistry (SB) or CBC than direct venipuncture (DV). Agreement betw...

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 Diagnosis of gastric ulcers by methods other than gastroscopy in dogs has been problematic for many years and biomarkers such as serum gastrin (SG) concentrations have been introduced as a noninvasive...

Abstract Background The FreeStyle Libre (Abbott Laboratories) is a flash glucose monitoring system (FGMS) that measures interstitial glucose concentration (IG). The system is factory‐calibrated, easy to use, inexpensiv...

Abstract Background The blacklegged tick (BLT) is a vector for the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), which causes Lyme disease. Range expansion of the BLT in Canada is related to an increased risk of Lyme disease in m...

Abstract Background Epilepsy in dogs and humans is associated with blood‐brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction (BBBD), which may involve dysfunction of tight junction (TJ) proteins, matrix metalloproteases, and astrocytes. I...

Abstract Background Currently, the pathogenesis of congestive heart failure (CHF) in cats is not fully understood. Objective To identify novel biomarkers for CHF in cats caused by primary cardiomyopathy, particularly rel...

Abstract Background Treatment options available for meningoencephalitis of unknown origin (MUO) in dogs are suboptimal, and currently, no single treatment protocol appears to be superior. Objectives Compare neurological ...

Abstract A 7‐year‐old neutered female domestic shorthaired cat born in Poland and then moved to Japan presented to the local clinic with recent onset of convulsive cluster seizures and status epilepticus. Magnetic re...

ABSTRACT Background Neonatal diarrhea accounts for 20%–25% of morbidity among calves, and antimicrobial drugs (AMDs) are often administered for treatment. Systematic approaches that mitigate antimicrobial use (AMU) can...

ABSTRACT Background Donkeys are routinely vaccinated with protocols developed for horses, yet species‐specific data on their immune responses are limited. Hypothesis/Objectives We hypothesized that donkeys exhibit robu...

Abstract Background Diseases associated with insulin dysregulation (ID), such as equine metabolic syndrome and pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction, are of interest to practitioners because of their association with lam...

Abstract Background We aimed to identify a simple test for excessive calciuresis and predict calcium oxalate (CaOx) disease in Miniature Schnauzers. We investigated the impact of postprandial time on the urine calcium to...

Abstract Background The natural history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in cats has been mainly studied in cats referred for suspected heart disease, which can skew the results towards cats with clinical signs. Few ...

Abstract Background The diagnosis of idiopathic epilepsy (IE) in dogs is based on exclusion of other potential causes of seizures. Recently, a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence that utilizes a variant of th...

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 ...

ABSTRACT Background Phenazopyridine is used for ancillary pain management in the treatment of goats with obstructive urolithiasis. However, there are no published studies on the pharmacokinetics, safety, or efficacy of p...

Abstract Background Dogs with hepatocutaneous syndrome (HCS) have marked plasma hypoaminoacidemia, but its occurrence in dogs with chronic liver diseases not associated with HCS (non‐HCS CLD) is unknown. Objectives To ...

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...

Background Ascending/descending myelomalacia (ADMM) is a severe complication of thoracolumbar intervertebral disk herniation (TL‐IVDH) in dogs. Hypothesis/Objectives To investigate the prevalence and risk factors for A...

Abstract Background Copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and the copper/zinc ratio (Cu/Zn), which have been studied in gastrointestinal disorders of humans, may facilitate disease prognosis. Objective Evaluate the predictive potentia...
