Small Animal Cardiovascular Medicine Textbook Online
The most popular veterinary cardiology textbook -- Kittleson and Kienle's Small Animal Cardiovascular Medicine -- is now on VIN.
The online version allows you to read or search the complete text and contains several UPDATED chapters. Full-text online texts are something all VINners have hoped for and this marks the start of a growing collection. Initially, this and other texts will be available to all VINners at no extra charge. In the long-term, to ensure that we can reward authors for continuing to keep their texts up-to-date, there may be a small additional charge for accessing the textbooks you use most frequently.

Analysis of canine and feline blood samples using the Kuadro in-house wet-reagent chemistry analyser
Kuadro is a new wet-reagent biochemistry analyser that is available for in-house use. The aim of this study was to compare the results produced by this analyser with those obtained by a wet-reagent analyser (KoneLab 30i) that served as the reference instrument.
Albinism in the domestic cat (Felis catus) is associated with a tyrosinase (TYR) mutation
Albino phenotypes are documented in a variety of species including the domestic cat. Albino phenotypes in other species are associated with tyrosinase (TYR) mutations. Sequence analysis of genomic DNA from wild-type and albino cats identified a cytosine deletion in TYR at position 975 in exon 2.
Clinical field efficacy and safety of pyrantel pamoate paste (19.13% w/w pyrantel base) against Anoplocephala spp. in naturally infected horses
The results of these trials demonstrated that pyrantel pamoate paste administered orally at a dosage of 13.2mg pyrantel base/kg body weight is highly efficacious against Anoplocephala spp. and safe for use in horses with no adverse clinical or neurological health events observed under field use conditions.
Qualitative and quantitative observations on the flea population dynamics of dogs and cats in several areas of Germany
The preliminary results did not indicate any tendency for a relationship between climatic conditions and flea infestation rates. Similarly, no differences of the infestations rates were detectable between urban and rural areas, 56% (dogs) and 46% (cats) of the infested pets originated from urban habitats.

How To Avoid Breaking Tooth Roots During Extractions
Remove minimal buccal bone. Choose correctly sized luxator to cut the periodontal ligament (PDL), then elevate circumferentially using a dental elevator appropriately sized to the tooth root. If it doesn't budge, take a little more bone and repeat luxation and elevation. No major twisting; rather use gentle rotation and hold in 3 - 4 locations circumferentially. If you have a tendency to do a lot of drilling, stop that now.
