Free Full Text
Forms were completed for 1114 anaesthetics (a compliance of 80.4%), with 1001 AEs reported in 572 patients. The relative frequency of AEs reported were as follows: arousal or breakthrough pain (14.9%), hypoventilation (13.5%), hypotension (10.3%), arrhythmias (5.8%), hyperthermia/hypothermia (5.0%), airway complications (4.8%), recovery excitation (4.6%), aspiration risk (4.5%), desaturation (2.8%), hypertension (1.7%), and 'other' (3.7%).
Atlantooccipital Overlap and Other Craniocervical Junction Abnormalities in Dogs
The term craniocervical junction abnormality (CJA) is an umbrella term for a variety of malformations that occur in the craniocervical region. These abnormalities include Chiari-like malformation, atlantooccipital overlapping, atlantoaxial instability, occipitoatlantoaxial malformations, atlantoaxial dural bands, and dens abnormalities.
Clearance of corticosteroids following intra-articular administration of clinical doses to racehorses
Serum concentrations fell below the ARCI threshold guidance by Day 7 (100 pg/ml) for both triamcinolone acetonide (2–40 mg dose) and isoflupredone acetate (4–30 mg dose) and Day 21 (100 pg/ml) for methylprednisolone acetate (20–600 mg dose). Betamethasone fell below the regulatory threshold (10 pg/ml) by 7 days for all Quarter Horses and for 7/10 Thoroughbreds studied. Drug concentrations were below the regulatory threshold by Day 10 in the remaining 3 horses receiving betamethasone.
Client Threatened Malpractice Suit: Should I Contact Malpractice Insurer?
One thing I do when I perceive there might be an issue is to ask staffers who witnessed any of the interaction to write down their version of what they saw and heard. Have them sign it, and you should keep a copy.
Estrogen Cream Exposure (Poisoning) In A Puppy And Adult Dog
So far it is cosmetic, but estrogens can potentially affect the bone marrow. Hopefully, this will convince the foster person to be more careful.
Non-Compliant Client Wants Me To Prescribe Large Amounts Of Drug So She Doesn't Have To Come Back For Rechecks
That's how you deal with bullies... you *don't*. You stand your ground and let them bluster and leave.
Motivation For The Weary New Graduate Or Student
I think the key to surviving general practice is commitment to the lifestyle and understanding that most of the best destinations lay at the end of a rocky trail.

Funny things clients say
Stepped out of the exam room for a minute and when I came back the dog was sitting on the bench and the client was on the other side of the room, squatting down with her hands over her face. I asked if she was OK and she said, "Oh, we were just playing hide and seek."
