Clinical evaluation of the use of aglepristone, with or without cloprostenol, to treat cystic endometrial hyperplasia-pyometra complex in bitches
Aglepristone alone was curative in 15/15 bitches with metritis. In 17/17 bitches with closed pyometra, cervical opening occurred within 48h of aglepristone administration. Of the 52 bitches with open (n=35) or closed (n=17) pyometra, the additional treatment with cloprostenol from days 3 to 7, significantly improved the overall success rate at day 90, which was 27/32 (84.4%), compared to 12/20 (60.0%) in bitches without cloprostenol.
Ultrasonographic characteristics of early pregnancy failure in bitches
Impending resorption may be predicted by detecting a delay in the time of development of a specific embryological feature or measuring a slow growth rate.
An evaluation of the clinical, cytological, infectious and histopathological features of feline acne
The age of onset of acne in affected cats ranged from 6 months to 14 years with a median of 4 years. Cytological evidence of Malassezia pachydermatitis was present on 4/22 (18%) of affected cats. Bacteria were isolated from 10 of the 22 (45%) affected cats; coagulase-positive staphylococci and alpha-haemolytic streptococci were most common. Chin tissue samples were positive for FCV in only 1 cat. All others were negative by IHC for FCV and FHV-1 antigens.
A comparison of survival models for assessing risk of racehorse fatality

Hearsay Evidence: What Should I Do If I Have Been Told Another Practice's Employee Is Stealing Diazepam?
A reliable source told me that her sister-in-law, who is an uncertified vet tech, has been stealing valium from the clinic she works at. It is hearsay, but I have met the girl, know she is involved in drugs, and I believe she would steal anything from the hospital. So now what do I do?
Crowded Teeth In Bulldog Pup
While the bulldog is not a microdog, the architecture of the head causes them to have many of the same problems. You will *never* make this mouth normal. Hundreds of years of monkeying with the genetics of the breed have ensured that the mouth will be a disaster and all you can hope to do is minimize the significance of the abnormalities.

Well, culture results are back and we have Mycobacterium fortuitum. It grows in two days on blood agar, so it is a very rapidly growing Mycobacterium. It can be found in any natural water, and probably came in with the food fish.
