Use of a Eutectic Mixture of Lidocaine 2.5% and Prilocaine 2.5% As a Local Anesthetic in Animals
Lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% is a topically applied emulsion containing 25 mg of lidocaine/g and 25 mg of prilocaine/g that was developed as a local anesthetic for use in people. Despite extensive use in human medicine, lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% is not commonly used in veterinary medicine. However, a few studies in animals have examined the use of lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% during venipuncture and biopsy of the skin. Results suggest that use of this combination was advantageous when performing venipuncture in dogs, cats, and rabbits used for research, especially when inexperienced personnel were performing the procedures.
Survival Analysis of One Versus Two Treatments of Local Delivery Cisplatin in a Biodegradable Polymer for Canine Osteosarcoma
Administration of two doses of OPLA-Pt did not have a significant effect on disease-free interval or survival time compared to one dose. The anatomic site of the tumour was identified as a prognostic factor, and dogs with proximal humeral OSA had the shortest disease-free interval and survival times.
Effectiveness of Low Dose Immunotherapy in the Treatment of Canine Atopic Dermatitis: A Prospective, Double-Blinded, Clinical Study
A significant correlation was found between the dogs' bodyweight and the change in pruritus scores... suggesting that tailoring the dose of allergen-specific immunotherapy depending on the dog's weight could result in a better success rate. This observation warrants further larger studies.
Comparison of the Clinical Efficacy of Oral Terbinafine and Ketoconazole Combined with Cephalexin in the Treatment of Malassezia Dermatitis in Dogs - A Pilot Study
The data show preliminary indications that terbinafine may have anti-Malassezia properties and may be considered as an alternative in Malassezia cases where ketoconazole is not an option.
How Wide Should The Margins Be For Epulis Biopsy?
If you understand that epuli arise from the periodontal ligament merely excising will not help the patient much in the long run.
Could This Dog's AIHA Be Be Due To Genetic Or Hormonal Factors?
In my opinion, the *tendency* to develop immune-mediated disease in the absence of a known trigger (drugs, vaccines, etc.) is indeed genetic. I think the breeder should inform the puppy buyers and others with related dogs. None of the relatives may ever have this, but I have seen it in related dogs (Cockers and Corgis).
Prognosis And Treatment For Cat With Non-Resectable Abdominal LSA? Abstract Re: Increased Survival With COP Protocol in Region With Low Incidence of FeLV
Chemotherapy with Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, and Prednisolone (COP) in Cats with Malignant Lymphoma: New Results with an Old Protocol.....This retrospective study in 61 cats with malignant lymphomas examined the efficacy of a well-established chemotherapy protocol (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisolone [COP]) in the Netherlands, a country with a low prevalence of feline leukemia virus (FeLV).... In comparison with results reported in other studies with different combination chemotherapy protocols, these are among the highest percentages of remission and the longest survival rates for cats with malignant lymphoma.
Bowen's Disease: Treatment Options
Aldara cream is helpful for very superficial lesions. I apply it daily for ten days, every other day for ten days, then every third day for ten days. I see the patient weekly to modify this general schedule. It helps for small superficial disease, but not very well for biggie disease.
