Abstract Background Antimicrobial drug‐associated diarrhea (AAD) is the most common adverse effect in horses receiving antimicrobials. Little information on how oral administration of antimicrobials alters intestinal m...

Abstract Background The impact of undernutrition in dogs with protein‐losing enteropathy (PLE) caused by inflammatory enteritis, intestinal lymphangiectasia, or both and which variables are most predictive of outcome a...

Abstract Background Guidelines‐driven screening protocols for early cancer detection in dogs are lacking, and cancer often is detected at advanced stages. Hypothesis/Objectives To examine how cancer typically is detect...

Abstract Background A panel of IgA‐based serologic assays might aid in the diagnosis of chronic enteropathy (CE) in dogs, a syndrome encompassing conditions such as food‐responsive enteropathy, immunosuppressant‐re...

Abstract Background In dogs with a congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (EHPSS), outcome after surgical attenuation is difficult to predict. Objectives Develop a minimally invasive test to predict outcome after su...

The goal of this work is to search for Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the Galactic disc at very low latitudes with |b| < 2◦. For this, we studied the five sources from the VVV near-infrared (IR) galaxy catalogue that ...

Abstract Background Primary hypoadrenocorticism (PH) is rare in cats and knowledge about treatment is sparse. Objective To describe cats with PH with a focus on long‐term treatment. Animals Eleven cats with naturally o...

Abstract Background A standardized protocol for electroencephalography (EEG) under standing sedation for the investigation of epilepsy in foals is needed. Hypothesis/Objectives To evaluate a modified standardized EEG pro...

Abstract Case Summary A 3‐month‐old Airedale dog with clinically diagnosed generalized tetanus was investigated for the occurrence of excessive paddling and chewing movements when sleeping. Electroencephalogram (EEG)...

Abstract Background Follicular cystitis is an uncommon inflammatory change in the urinary bladder wall characterized by the formation of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) in the submucosa. Objectives To characterize cl...

Abstract Background Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) caused by Sarcocystis neurona remains an antemortem diagnostic challenge in some horses. Recent work suggested the use of real‐time PCR (rtPCR) on cerebrospi...

Abstract Background Compared to humans, colorectal polyps are relatively rare in dogs. Epidemiological and prognostic data remain accordingly sparse, although they could help veterinary clinicians in the management of th...

Abstract Background Rapid and accurate markers to aid diagnosis of sepsis are needed in neonatal foals. The CBC variable red blood cell distribution width (RDW) to platelet ratio (RPR) is associated with inflammatory res...

Abstract Background The relationship between the development of SHPT and ionized magnesium (iMg) concentrations in blood of dogs with chronic gastrointestinal (GI) disease and abnormally low 25(OH)D is undefined. Objecti...

Abstract Background Increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein concentration is a common finding in neurological diseases of dogs. Distinguishing between intrathecally‐produced proteins and proteins that have passed t...

Abstract Background Constrictive myelopathy (CM) involving a fibrous band around the spinal cord is a newly recognized disease in pug dogs. Objectives To identify the frequency of CM based on diagnostic imaging supplemen...

Abstract Background Interventional radiology (IR) and interventional endoscopy (IE) have broad potential for minimally invasive therapy in veterinary patients, but the scope of original peer‐reviewed veterinary IR/IE r...

Elucidation of the cellular functions of RNAs represents one of the most exciting research areas in modern life sciences. RNAs play crucial roles in plant biology, including developmental regulation and environmental res...

Abstract Background Laboratory results are influenced by presence and severity of disease, as well as preanalytical factors, analytical variation, and biological variation. Biological variation data for urinary protein: ...

Abstract Background Antemortem diagnosis of degenerative myelopathy (DM) in dogs is presumptive and there are no accepted guidelines for the management of this condition. Hypothesis/Objectives Describe current practices ...

Abstract Background Racehorses commonly develop evidence of mild asthma in response to dust exposure. Diets deficient in omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Ω‐3) might exacerbate this response. Hypothesis To compar...

Abstract Background Idiopathic functional urinary outflow tract obstruction (iFUOTO) is an uncommon but life‐limiting disease whose etiology and clinical course of disease remain poorly understood. Objective Characteri...

Abstract Case Description A 4‐year‐old female spayed mixed breed dog presented with a 2‐year history of painful urination and recurrent hematuria. Clinical Findings The dog had a large sensitive bladder, palpation ...

Abstract Background Working dogs exposed to narcotics might require reversal in the field. Objective To explore the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of naloxone administered intramuscularly (IM) or intranasall...
