Detection of ovine respiratory syncytial virus in pneumonic lungs from apparently healthy sheep slaughtered at 5 abattoirs in Australia
Can J Vet Res. 2023 Oct;87(4):303-305.ABSTRACTRespiratory disease is one of the main diseases of sheep in many regions globally. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes severe disease in humans and in calves, but little is known about the role of RSV in sheep. We studied the prevalence of ovine RSV in sheep processed at 5 abattoirs in southern Australia. Bronchial swab samples were collected from 182 consignments of lambs up to 12 months of age and 71 consignments of adult sheep; these were tested for the presence of the virus using a qPCR based on the F gene sequence. Six of the 253 abattoir consignments (2.4%) tested po...

Gastric perforation secondary to incarcerated para-esophageal hiatal hernia in a French bulldog
Can J Vet Res. 2023 Oct;87(4):272-276.ABSTRACTA 6-month-old, intact female, French bulldog was presented to the Emergency Department for evaluation of vomiting and diarrhea over the preceding week which had not responded to supportive medical therapy. Imaging studies identified an incarcerated para-esophageal hernia with peritoneal effusion and gas consistent with gastrointestinal perforation. Following stabilization, the dog underwent an exploratory laparotomy which confirmed an incarcerated hiatal hernia and gastric perforation. A gastrectomy was performed to repair the defect, and to prevent recurrence both a herniorrha...

Strain-dependent interactions of Streptococcus suis and Glaesserella parasuis in co-culture
Can J Vet Res. 2023 Oct;87(4):245-253.ABSTRACTStreptococcus suis (S. suis) and Glaesserella parasuis (G. parasuis) are ubiquitous colonizers of swine tonsils that can cause systemic disease and death, under undefined conditions. It is not known, however, whether these 2 species interact during initial infection. To investigate whether such interactions occur, the objective of this study was to assess phenotypic differences between mono-and co-cultures of S. suis and G. parasuis when representative strains with different virulence potential were co-cultured in vitro. In cross-streak screening experiments, some G. parasuis (...

Complications associated with a flash glucose monitoring system in diabetic dogs
Can J Vet Res. 2023 Oct;87(4):260-264.ABSTRACTInterstitial glucose monitoring systems are commonly being used in diabetic dogs. The aim of this study was to document the incidence of complications associated with the use of a flash glucose monitoring system (FGMS) in dogs. Medical records of dogs that had placement of a 14-day FGMS during a 1-year period were reviewed. Data retrieved included the number of days the sensor remained attached and functional, sensor detachment, sensor failure prior to the end of the 14-day monitoring period, and dermatologic changes at the sensor site. Descriptive statistics were used to chara...

Cross-protection of a porcine circovirus types 2a/b (PCV-2a/b) and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae trivalent vaccine against a dual PCV-2e and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae challenge
Can J Vet Res. 2023 Oct;87(4):297-302.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this experimental study was to determine the cross-protection of a new trivalent vaccine containing porcine circovirus types 2a/b (PCV-2a/b) and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Pigs were vaccinated intramuscularly at 21 days of age, then challenged at 42 days of age with a dual PCV-2e and M. hyopneumoniae challenge. Growth performance was significantly improved during the experimental period (21 to 63 days of age) in vaccinated-challenged pigs compared to unvaccinated-challenged pigs. Pigs that were vaccinated and challenged elicited a significant amount of PCV-2e- and...

Infrared thermography as a diagnostic tool to detect cranial cruciate ligament deficiency in dogs
The objective of this study was to investigate the utility of infrared thermography to diagnose CCL disease in a large population of client-owned dogs and investigate for correlations between ability of thermography to diagnose CCL deficiency and recorded explanatory factors. A commercial grade thermal imaging camera was used to collect preoperative images of both stifles in 50 dogs with surgically confirmed CCL rupture in one stifle and a normal opposite stifle. The average maximum temperatures of the affected and unaffected stifles were collected from these images and used for statistical analysis. Infrared thermography ...

Evaluation of semitendinosus muscle transposition for treatment of perineal hernias in 33 small-breed dogs
The objective of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the complications and prognosis of perineal hernia repair using SMT in 33 small, male dogs (weighing < 15 kg). Before the study began, the medical records of all small-breed dogs that underwent SMT from March 2013 to June 2022 at the Veterinary Medical Center, University of Tokyo were analyzed, and telephone interviews were conducted with their owners or referring physicians. Short-term complications were observed in 42.4% of the patients. Lameness was the most common complication, although all cases were resolved within a few days. The recurrence rate during t...

Diagnostic utility of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration and needle-core biopsy sampling of canine splenic masses
This study further demonstrates that preoperative diagnostic evaluation of the spleen is not highly accurate and cannot be recommended prior to splenectomy.PMID:37790262 | PMC:PMC10542949 (Source: Canadian Journal of Veterinary Research)

Short- and long-term outcomes of subtotal ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy in French bulldogs
The objective of this retrospective study was to report the overall peri-operative complications and short- to long-term outcomes of subtotal ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy in French bulldogs with otitis media. Medical records from 2018 to 2021 were reviewed for preoperative neurological signs, surgical technique, postoperative complications, and long-term outcomes. Postoperative complications, such as a head tilt, nystagmus, ataxia, facial nerve dysfunction, as well as skin or wound infection, were recorded. Eighteen client-owned dogs (20 ears) were included in the study. Postoperative complications were o...
