Abstract Background X‐linked dystrophin‐deficient muscular dystrophy (MD) is a form of MD caused by variants in the DMD gene. It is a fatal disease characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal m...

Abstract Background Primary immune thrombocytopenia (pITP) in dogs presents a diagnostic challenge, and clinical markers of severity are lacking. Objectives Identify clinicopathologic features that differentiate pITP fro...

Abstract Management of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in dogs and cats is evolving, but there are no evidence‐based guidelines to assist clinicians with treatment decisions. Likewise, the overall goals for treatment of ...

Abstract Background Available descriptive studies on equine pneumonia are outdated or focus on specific horse or bacterial populations. Objectives To describe the clinical presentation and bacterial isolates of adult hor...

Abstract Background There is a possibility that an incorrect diagnosis of hypothyroidism could be made in euthyroid dogs, and the prevalence of hypothyroidism in the dog population remains unknown. Objectives To retrospe...

Abstract Background Effects of the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors enalapril and telmisartan on circulating RAAS in dogs with proteinuric chronic kidney disease (pCKD) are undescribed. Objectiv...

Abstract Background Zonisamide (ZNS) is a newer generation antiseizure medication (ASM) used to treat epilepsy in dogs and cats. However, scientific and clinical information, particularly regarding monotherapy, is limite...

Abstract Background Total serum bilirubin concentration (TBIL) can provide useful information on several pathophysiological conditions in cats. Nevertheless, whether the variable severity classification of hyperbilirubin...

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 Diarrhea in foals can be associated with disruption of the intestinal microbiota (dysbiosis). Effective management of intestinal dysbiosis in foals has not been demonstrated. Hypothesis/Objectives Fec...

Abstract Background Reliable ECGs are crucial for diagnosing arrhythmias, yet a lack of standardization impedes arrhythmia diagnosis and treatment in horses. Objectives To objectively determine an optimal position of Ein...

Abstract Background Sliding hiatal herniation (SHH) and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) commonly occur in French bulldogs. Wireless pH monitoring can quantitatively assess acidic GER in dogs affected by SHH. Hypothesis/Obj...

Abstract Background Hypercalcemia of malignancy (HM) secondary to lymphoma in dogs has the potential to cause renal injury. Hypothesis/Objectives Characterize outcomes related to acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to HM...

Abstract Background Equine neuroaxonal dystrophy/equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy (eNAD/EDM) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder associated with vitamin E deficiency. In humans, polymorphisms in genes invol...

Abstract Background Cardiac catheterizations in horses are mainly performed in the right heart, as access to the left heart traditionally requires an arterial approach. Transseptal puncture (TSP) has been adapted for hor...

Abstract Background The proportion of cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) that lose systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve (SAM) in the long term is unknown. Hypothesis/Objectives Cats with HCM will lose SA...

Abstract Background Equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (EHM) has severe impact on the sport horse population. Objective Study the influence of EHM on the likelihood of affected horses to return to their previous perf...

Abstract Background Equine herpes virus type 1 (EHV‐1) infection in horses is associated with upper respiratory disease, neurological disease, abortions, and neonatal death. Objective To determine if there is an associ...

Abstract Background Conditions affecting the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis are common in dogs. Testing the function of the HPA axis includes measurement of endogenous adrenocorticotropic hormone (eACTH) a...

Abstract Background Cannabidiol (CBD) has therapeutic potential in companion animals. Shorter‐term studies have determined that CBD is well tolerated in dogs with mild adverse effects and an increase in alkaline phosph...

Abstract Background Reported incidence of blood transfusion reactions (TR) varies greatly. Objective To prospectively evaluate the incidence of acute TRs in dogs receiving allogenic blood products, using consensus defini...
