Suspected malnutrition-induced reversible feline skin fragility syndrome in a cat with congenital axial deformities
Can Vet J. 2024 Mar;65(3):227-233.ABSTRACTA stray cat, an intact female Japanese domestic shorthair cat of unknown age (suspected to be a young adult), was rescued. The cat was lethargic and thin and had marked skin fragility, delayed wound healing without skin hyperextensibility, and hind limb proprioceptive ataxia and paresis. Survey radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed congenital vertebral anomalies, including thoracolumbar transitional vertebrae, scoliosis resulting from a thoracic lateral wedge-shaped vertebra, and a kinked tail, and a dilated spinal cord central canal. Through nut...

Basic triage in dogs and cats: Part II
CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Do not refer emergent cases before completing basic stabilization. Many emergency cases do not require emergent referral and can be worked up by the primary veterinarian or sent to a referral clinic on an appointment basis after appropriate stabilization steps have occurred.PMID:38434167 | PMC:PMC10880400 (Source: The Canadian Veterinary Journal)

Successful interventional occlusion of muscular ventricular septal defect in a dog
Can Vet J. 2024 Mar;65(3):221-226.ABSTRACTVentricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare congenital heart disease in dogs. Hemodynamically important interventricular defects must be closed to improve the prognosis. This case report describes successful interventional transcatheter closure of a muscular VSD in a young Maltese and poodle mixed-breed dog with a large muscular interventricular defect (~5 mm in diameter) with a high rate of left-to-right shunt flow. The VSD was closed with a customized Amplatzer-type VSD occluder via a percutaneous transvenous (jugular) approach. We concluded that interventional occlusion of a muscu...

Comparison of virus-neutralizing and virus-specific ELISA antibody responses among bovine neonates differentially primed and boosted against bovine coronavirus
CONCLUSION: Neonatal mucosal priming and systemic boosting resulted in anamnestic BCoV antibody responses at weaning.CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Prime-boost vaccination should be considered for control of BCoV respiratory disease.PMID:38434170 | PMC:PMC10880395 (Source: The Canadian Veterinary Journal)

Gallbladder carcinoid in a cat
Can Vet J. 2024 Mar;65(3):241-244.ABSTRACTCarcinoids are rare tumors that originate from neuroendocrine system cells. There has apparently only been 1 report in the veterinary medical literature of a cat with a gallbladder carcinoid, with no long-term follow-up information available from that case. Furthermore, apparently only 9 dogs with gallbladder carcinoids have been reported, again with no long-term follow-up. This case report describes the clinical presentation, surgical appearance, histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings, postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy treatment, and long-term outcome of a domestic lon...

The impact of skin preparation method on electrocardiogram quality in horses
CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study suggests that skin preparation by cleansing and/or shaving does not have a significant effect on equine ECG signal quality. When gel is used, textile electrodes are a practical alternative for Ag/AgCl electrodes, as they produce ECG recordings of the same quality.PMID:38434162 | PMC:PMC10880388 (Source: The Canadian Veterinary Journal)
