Exotic Newcastle Disease
Signs in companion birds are variable and often nonspecific. Practitioners, however, should suspect this disease in parrots, particularly Amazon parrots, if the sick bird is of questionable origin and over the course of the disease develops signs related to the central nervous system.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Small Animal Medicine: Clinical Applications
MRI aided evaluation of the extent and severity of inflammatory changes within the subchondral bone in dogs with shoulder osteochondrosis and was shown to be superior to CT in identifying nonmineralized cartilaginous fragments.
Use of Percutaneous Arterial Embolization for Treatment of Intractable Epistaxis in Three Dogs
Extensive collateral vascularization develops after unilateral and bilateral ligation of the common carotid artery, benefits of ligation are likely only transient, and the procedure cannot be repeated.
West Nile Virus
Chickens and turkeys are refractory to WNV disease, and chickens have been used to monitor WNV activity. Domestic geese appear to be relatively susceptible to WNV disease.

What Causes Ringwomb?
Ringwomb is a commonly used term for cervical dilation failures in small ruminants. I doubt that there is a single cause for the condition ...
Time For Clothing Guidelines In Office?
Several of our techs prefer to wear thong underwear. When they are holding dogs or on the ground, their thongs protrude about 2-3 inches above their scrub pants ...
Basset Hound Thrombopathia

The instructors will take a case-based review of nephrology cases in the final week of the course. Sign up now for this informative course: Urine Luck: Topics in Nephrology. Instructors:
