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...

Effect of a < em > Lactococcus lactis < /em > culture supernatant on diarrhea and performance parameters of piglets in the post-weaning period and on expression of the < em > faeG < /em > gene < em > in vitro < /em >
CONCLUSION: The evaluated CFSM reduced the frequency and prevalence of diarrhea in a field situation. The in vitro treatment had an inhibitory effect on the expression of the faeG gene in F4+ E. coli 21259.PMID:38434158 | PMC:PMC10880393 (Source: The Canadian Veterinary Journal)

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)

Obstructive cardiac myxosarcoma of the right ventricular outflow tract with pulmonary embolism and concurrent right atrial hemangiosarcoma in a dog
Can Vet J. 2024 Mar;65(3):234-240.ABSTRACTA 13-year-old spayed female rottweiler crossbreed dog was presented with an 8-day history of abnormal gait and collapse associated with excitement or physical activity. A cardiac gallop was noticed on thoracic auscultation, and a 1st-degree atrioventricular block and sinus tachycardia were noted on an electrocardiogram. Echocardiography identified a hypoechoic, irregularly marginated luminal mass in the right ventricle at the level of the pulmonic valves. Postmortem gross examination confirmed the presence of a soft, polypoid, and botryoid mass (9 × 3 × 3 cm) with a smooth and gl...
