Pneumothorax in a dog caused by necrotizing pneumonia secondary to heatstroke
Abstract ObjectiveTo describe the clinical course, diagnostic findings, medical and surgical treatments, and outcome in a dog with spontaneous pneumothorax secondary to necrotizing pneumonia thought to be a delayed complication of heatstroke. Case SummaryA 1.5‐year‐old Labrador Retriever developed spontaneous pneumothorax 12 days after an episode of exertional heat stroke. Computed tomography was performed and showed bilateral pneumothorax and multifocal pulmonary consolidation, especially at the lung periphery. A median sternotomy was performed, and multifocal, well‐demarcated areas of consolidated pulmonary tissue ...

Effects of dexmedetomidine on pulse pressure variation changes induced by hemorrhage followed by volume replacement in isoflurane‐anesthetized dogs
ConclusionsDuring ISO anesthesia, PPV increases in individuals prone to developing hypotension from hypovolemia. Because DEX prevents the increase in PPV associated with hypovolemia, PPV should not be used to guide VR in dogs that have been given DEX.

Prognostic value of echocardiographic and Doppler parameters in horses admitted for colic complicated by systemic inflammatory response syndrome
ConclusionsEchocardiography may provide prognostic information in colic horses with clinical evidence of SIRS. Especially, PEP/ET and E/Em could be useful markers of systolic and diastolic dysfunction, respectively, to detect horses with a high risk of death requiring more intensive cardiovascular monitoring as it has been reported in human patients with septic shock.
