Descriptive epidemiological study of the use of antimicrobial drugs by companion animal veterinarians in New Zealand
Many cases of superficial pyoderma were treated for less than the recommended duration of 21 days, which may contribute to a higher rate of recurrent pyoderma and the development of drug resistance within the causal bacteria. Veterinarians should be aware that the use of fluoroquinolones, in particular, should be based upon the results of a culture and susceptibility test.

Urinary clusterin as a renal marker in dogs
A validation of a species-specific enzyme immunoassay for urinary clusterin measurement in dogs was performed, and the use of urinary clusterin as a marker of renal damage was evaluated in a population of dogs with leishmaniasis.

Practical relevance: Feline 'lung-digit syndrome' describes an unusual pattern of metastasis that is seen with various types of primary lung tumours, particularly bronchial and bronchioalveolar adenocarcinoma. Tumour metastases are found at atypical sites, notably the distal phalanges of the limbs; the weight-bearing digits are most frequently affected, and multiple-digit and multiple-limb involvement is common.

Aggression and cannibalism in organic flock of laying hens: prevention and husbandry advice
