Frequently Asked Questions and Feedback - Oh My!
The VIN community for years has asked the best questions and until recently we just answered them directly. So what's the poop on that....We have created a new VIN thread "The VIN Poop" so that the entire community can learn from the questions that are asked.
New on VIN - More Medical FAQs
Most topics have been discussed -- many times -- in the past on VIN's message boards. That is why, the fastest route to an answer to your question is a VIN Database Search.
Some topics have been discussed so many times that the number of "hits" you get from the database can be overwhelming.....too much of a good thing :-) To help you, the VIN Consultants have begun a concerted effort to increase the number of Medical FAQs available for you. The new and updated Medical FAQs are available in a single package. Information on Cardiology, Behavior, Endocrinology and more is at your fingertips.

A Retrospective Study of 60 Cases of Eccentrocytosis in the Dog
Eccentrocytes were found in blood smears from 60 of 4251 dogs (0.4%) and were associated with mild to moderate anemia in 40 (66.6%) of the cases. Eccentrocytosis was found in 16 (26.6%) dogs with drug administration, 11 (8.3%) with presumptive onion and garlic ingestion, 8 (13.3%) with vitamin K antagonist intoxication, 7 (11.6%) with ketoacidotic diabetes, 5 (8.3%) with T-cell lymphoma, 4 (6.6%) with severe infections, 1 (1.6%) with compensated diabetes mellitus, and 8 (13.3%) with other conditions. Certain dog breeds, such as Whippet, Boxer, and English Setter, and young dogs seemed to be overrepresented.

Biliary Obstruction Cat Still Having Difficulties: Bile Cultures, Treatment Suggestions
You can improve your yield from ultrasound guided needle biopsies of the liver by using mini culturettes with which you can harvest cells even from the hub of the needle and placing this sample directly into blood culture medium. Alternately, liver biopsy with both aerobic and anaerobic bile and liver culture might reveal something not previously uncovered.
Chronic Allergies With Secondary Yeast And Bacterial Pyoderma: Treatment Of Infections First Is Critical
You will be pleasantly suprised at how much improvement in the pruritus you will see with just treating the infections. If steroids and antibiotics are given simultaneously, you won't be able to tell how much is from the infection and how much is from the allergy.

Older German Shepherd That Has Been On Long-Term Methylprednisolone, Now Symptomatic For Cushing's
When Cushing's dogs are controlled, we find out what these steroids have been doing to control the various problems the dog may have. Itchy dogs get itchier, lame dogs get more lame, some dogs get back pain from their chronic disc disease, and I had one dog's lymph nodes enlarge before my eyes during the Lysodren induction; he had lymphoma it turned out, and the steroids had been treating it.
