Assessment of dexmedetomidine and other agents for emesis induction in cats: 43 cases (2009-2014)
Emesis was induced in 11 of 25 xylazine-treated cats and in 13 of 16 dexmedetomidine-treated cats. Dexmedetomidine was more likely to cause vomiting than xylazine.

Hypothermia for Intracranial Hypertension after Traumatic Brain Injury
In patients with an intracranial pressure of more than 20 mm Hg after traumatic brain injury, therapeutic hypothermia plus standard care to reduce intracranial pressure did not result in outcomes better than those with standard care alone.

A Trial of Wound Irrigation in the Initial Management of Open Fracture Wounds
The rates of reoperation were similar regardless of irrigation pressure, a finding that indicates that very low pressure is an acceptable, low-cost alternative for the irrigation of open fractures. The reoperation rate was higher in the castile soap group than in the saline group.

Should Rescue Allow Adoption Of FIV Positive Cats? Risk Of FIV Transmission
New owners need to be well informed about the potential for risk to current feline household members, even if it is very small.

Journal Article Reporting Promising New Treatment For Feline Infectious Peritonitis
From what I have seen/heard so far, this is the most promising treatment for feline infectious peritonitis that I have seen in 34 years.

Ideas For Communicating To Clients About Costs For Extracting Deciduous Teeth
Charge what you have to charge as if you were doing the same procedure and only that procedure day in and day out. Just take the time to explain the procedure -- not necessarily the fee.

What Matters in the End: Geriatric Medicine, Euthanasia, and Compassion Fatigue
July 5 - 29, 2016

Although all veterinarians agree that old age is not a disease, it is a common reason why many families decide to euthanize a pet. Many pet owners will not seek out an actual diagnosis but the myriad of ailments fall under the excuse of "old age." Understanding how the body changes as an animal ages is important so that we can educate owners and treat pets appropriately. Doing so earlier in the pet's life may allow for a longer quality of life and prevent premature euthanasia.
