Author Abstract

It is no secret that the veterinary profession is going through a ‘recruitment crisis’, with many practices struggling to fill positions. This article examines some of the research on what actually works in recruitment advertising, and offers some evidence-based advice on the most effective way to attract appropriate applicants to apply to a vacancy.

Archives Highlights:
Efficacy and safety of once daily oral administration of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor velagliflozin compared with twice daily insulin injection in diabetic cats.
On Day 45, 29/54 (54%) velagliflozin-treated cats and 26/62 (42%) Caninsulin-treated cats showed treatment success, demonstrating noninferiority. By Day 91, quality of life (QoL), polyuria, and polydipsia had improved in 81%, 54%, and 61% (velagliflozin); on blood glucose (BG) curves, mean BG was <252 mg/dL in 42/54 (78%; velagliflozin) and 37/62 (60%; Caninsulin); minimum BG was <162 mg/dL in 41/54 (76%; velagliflozin) and 41/62 (66%; Caninsulin); serum fructosamine was <450 µmol/L in 41/54 (76%; velagliflozin) and 38/62 (61%; Caninsulin).
Prevalence of elbow dysplasia in 13 dog breeds in France: a retrospective radiographic study (2002-2022).
The overall prevalence of ED was 11.4%, ranging from 1.1% in the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog to 32.2% in the Dogue de Bordeaux. The Dogue de Bordeaux, Rottweiler, Bernese Mountain Dog, and Cane Corso breeds were most commonly affected by ED. The prevalence of ED was significantly higher in male dogs than in female dogs (17.5% vs 10.5%). Joint incongruity and fragmented coronoid process were the 2 most common primary ED lesions identified.
Prospective randomized trial comparing relapse rates in dogs with steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis treated with a 6-week or 6-month prednisolone protocol.
Relapses occurred in 6/20 (30%) of the 6-month protocol and 9/24 (38%) of the 6-week protocol. There was no statistical difference in the incidence risk of at least 1 relapse between the 2 groups. "Short" 6-week prednisolone protocols could be used to treat steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis, thereby presumably reducing the duration and severity of prednisolone's adverse effects.
Indications for Radiation Therapy in Veterinary Medicine
This article highlights some of the essential elements for clinical decision making in veterinary radiation oncology, with case examples to give general practitioners a better understanding of what types of cases may be appropriate for radiation therapy.
The Prevalence and Diagnosis of Feline Heartworm Infection
Visualization of supposed worm structures on echocardiography, in conjunction with a positive antigen test result, is as close to a definitive antemortem confirmation of adult heartworm infection as can be achieved.
