Intestinal Permeability and Absorption in Dogs with Traumatic Injury
Intestinal permeability measurements can be useful in quantifying the damage to the intestinal tract in critically ill patients, as an objective endpoint for nutritional studies, and potentially as a predictor of morbidity and mortality.
Neonatal Cerebellar Ataxia in Coton de Tulear Dogs
The segregation pattern of neurologic disease in these families was consistent with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance, with males and females equally affected and affected dogs born to normal parents.
Temporohyoid Osteoarthropathy in 33 Horses (1993-2000)
Horses with temporohyoid osteoarthropathy have a fair prognosis for return to some type of athletic function, but there is risk of acute death.
Evaluation of a 6-Month Chemotherapy Protocol with No Maintenance Therapy for Dogs with Lymphoma
When employing an aggressive multiagent chemotherapy protocol that includes doxorubicin, maintenance chemotherapy for canine lymphoma does not appear to offer a survival advantage.
Cesarean Technique
The Cornell study showed that, if bitches were not maintained on intravenous fluids during the surgery, one was jeopardizing the puppies. Any tranquilizer will lower the blood pressure, therefore they are not usable. The study showed that - if one does not use Forane or Sevothane - one did not get as many live puppies.
Pet Shop Puppies Breaking With Demodex
There are two other species of demodex mites (a short and a long) that may be different from Demodex canis, although I don't know if these newer mites are contagious. We know that one of the cat mites, Demodex gatoi, is contagious.
Predicting Cardiac Disease By Heart Size And Shape
Using clinical information does not create bias. It's called analysis of data. I would never try to assess a patient without clinical data to influence my opinion. It is sometimes useful to read films first without clinical information, but by the time you get to the diagnosis part, you had better well include the clinical data.
Puppy Pulmonary Edema Episode?
I suspect that this might be one of these puppy pulmonary edemas that we don't understand. They often look severe, have no cardiac pathology, and resolve within a few days with therapy.
