Treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy in rabbits with mesenchymal stem cell transplantation and platelet-rich plasma
The MSC group showed improvements in all parameters assessed, while the PRP group showed significantly impaired heart function. Histopathology of the heart revealed that the MSC group displayed the lowest number of lesions, while rabbits in the MSC+PRP, saline, and PRP groups had steadily advancing lesions.

A welfare assessment scoring system for working equids—A method for identifying at risk populations and for monitoring progress of welfare enhancement strategies (trialed in Egypt)
Mules who pulled goods by cart had the highest prevalence of mistreatment-induced lesions at 36.7% (significantly greater than the other species and other work types. From a positive perspective, horses used for riding or transporting people by cart (e.g., most often animals working in tourist areas) were most likely to be in a healthy physical state (over 85% for both categories; significantly greater than other species and other work types).

Buying Clinic From Long-Time Employer: Why Practice Valuation, Separate Lawyer, And Separate Accountant Are So Important
It does amaze me how many posts come up asking, "Do I really need a valuation/attorney/CPA?" We chastise clients all the time for trying home remedies and using non-veterinarians for free (often wrong) veterinary advice, and tell them to go to the professionals who know what they are doing. But when we are the clients, it seems some of us want to do what we tell our clients not to.
