Treatment of proliferative feline eosinophilic keratitis with topical 1.5% cyclosporine: 35 cases
Based on our findings, topical cyclosporine (1.5%) is an effective treatment of proliferative feline eosinophilic keratitis in the vast majority of cases. Recurrences were mainly associated with poor owner compliance. Chronic, often lifelong, therapy with medications is thus recommended.

Neuropathology of naturally occurring Trypanosoma evansi infection of horses
The clinical course was 2 to 20 days; clinical signs included marked ataxia, blindness, head tilt and circling, hyperexcitability, obtundity, proprioceptive deficits, head pressing, and paddling movements.

How do you handle virtual tours on your website?
Our tour is relatively simple, just photos with title of where it is. Our place is very small, so hard to get real good photos of some of the areas. The pages load fast, which is important, since people don't like waiting for pages to load.

Organizing your catheters
Each has a slide out drawer with compartments, one for each size and type of catheter - red rubber, polypropylene, balloon, etc. Each also has a red tag placed in a plastic sleeve.

Making exams a positive experience for everyone: ideas for treats, tables and techniques
We also encourage "social visits" as part of our puppy/kitten series. In the handouts that go with the final pediatric vaccine visit, we encourage puppies and kittens to continue to visit us monthly or more often for weigh-ins, a little bit of handling and lots of fun.

Dog with pulmonary systemic inflammatory response syndrome secondary to severe pancreatitis
The abdominal signs are consistent with pancreatitis, but in just one day the thoracic images have changed. I wonder if there is some developing inflammatory pneumonitis and or vasculitis associated with SIRS due to the pancreatitis.
