Abstract Background Norwich terriers are affected by an upper airway syndrome (NTUAS) but little is known about outcome in affected dogs. Objective To determine outcome in dogs with NTUAS using owner questionnaires. Anim...

Abstract Background Hyperimmune plasma raised against β‐1→6‐poly‐N‐acetyl glucosamine (PNAG HIP) mediates more opsonophagocytic killing of Rhodococcus equi (R equi) than does R equi hyperimmune plasma (RE ...

Abstract Background Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) is an endocrine disorder the clinical signs of which include infertility, but few reports have examined the relationship between PPID and reproductive perf...

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 The United States Food and Drug Administration is investigating possible diet‐associated dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs and cats. Objectives To retrospectively review DCM cases for signalment,...

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 Limited knowledge exists regarding the use of lidocaine as a prokinetic in ruminants and camelids to treat gastrointestinal ileus. In this retrospective study, ruminant and camelid cases diagnosed with ileus and...

Abstract Background Shaking puppy syndrome is commonly attributed to abnormal myelination of the central nervous system. Hypothesis/Objectives To report the long‐term clinical course and the imaging characteristics of ...

Abstract Background Clinical signs and their progression in Beagles with Lafora disease are poorly described. Objectives To describe clinical signs in Beagles with Lafora disease. Animals Twenty‐eight Beagles with Lafo...

Abstract Background Dietary protein and phosphorus (P) restriction is the mainstay for nutritional management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, adequate restriction levels for cats with early CKD remain unclear. ...

Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are potential biomarkers for equine sarcoids (ES). Objectives To assess eca‐miR‐331, eca‐miR‐100, and eca‐miR‐1 as serum biomarkers for ES disease. Animals Sixty‐eight...

Abstract Background Measured indirect blood pressure (BP) results in cats in a clinical environment might be affected by stress and characteristics of the cats. Hypothesis To investigate the influence of clinical setting...

Abstract Background Endocrinopathic laminitis develops in association with insulin dysregulation, but the role of insulin in the pathogenesis remains unclear. Hyperinsulinemia can cause hypoaminoacidemia, which is associ...

Abstract Background Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the gold standard in assessing renal function but is impractical. Serum creatinine (sCr) has limited sensitivity in identifying early chronic kidney disease (CKD), ...
