Doxorubicin for Malignant Lymphoma
"Often,articles we think we know well and use appropriately contain forgotten informative gems or overlooked flaws," says Bob Rosenthal, DVM, PhD, DACVR, DACVIM. Join him this Sunday as we discuss the article, Khanna C, Lund EM, Redic KA, et al. Randomized controlled trial of doxorubicin versus dactinomycin in a multiagent protocol for treatment of dogs with malignant lymphoma. JAVMA 213(7):985-990, 1998.

Meet The VIN Representatives!
It's a big world in here! Between work, family and other obligations, it's impossible to find time to explore every nook and cranny of VIN. That's why every veterinarian member of VIN is paired with a buddy from the VIN Representative team! Your buddy wants to help you learn the tips and tricks to get the most from your VIN membership. You should never feel lost or alone. Your buddy can help you navigate VIN like a pro, find the information you're looking for and personlize your VIN experience to fit your needs.

The diagnostic accuracy of different natriuretic peptides in the investigation of canine cardiac disease
Canine N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) appears to be a useful marker of the presence of cardiac disease, although concentrations must be interpreted in the light of the patient's renal function.
Prediction of future development of canine atopic dermatitis based on examination of clinical history
The aim of this study was to identify clinical features that could be used to identify individual dogs within the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association canine population at risk of being diagnosed as atopic in the future before they had fully developed the condition.
Use of domperidone in the treatment of canine visceral leishmaniasis: A clinical trial
Ninety-eight dogs were treated with single-agent domperidone at 1mg/kg twice a day orally for 1 month. Domperidone was effective in controlling and reducing clinical signs and antibody titre. Significant decreases in reciprocal serum antibodies were seen in 74.3% of the dogs with mild clinical signs and 40% of the dogs became seronegative.
Increasing our revenue
I love what I do, but this is killing me (not to mention pushing me toward very dwindling finances). I am on my third loan from the lender, my retirement is running out, no other financial options to borrow from. The term 'drowning' comes to mind.
Impressive pharyngitis
I think you'll need to do something with that proliferative tissue or you'll never be able to get the mouth under control. The cauliflower nature to that tissue means bacteria etc. can hide from our other treatment modalities, not to mention I'm sure the cat mustn't like the feel of all that inflamed tissue.
Job search etiquette
I know of several clinics who have been looking for a new associate for so long they've given up advertising, and they'd be more than happy to consider a new applicant -- don't take the fact that you're not seeing advertisements as an indication that a clinic isn't interested in hiring an associate.
Figuring mark-ups
That makes perfect sense, except that the examination fee is heavily shopped, and the dispensing fee is not. We probably have 15-20 phoneshoppers a day asking about exam fees. About every 3 months someone comments that our amoxicillin costs more than Wal-mart.
