Development and validation of a cephalic conformation scoring system for the domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Extreme cephalic conformation has been theorised to be associated with compromised health in rabbits. However, recognition and assessment of such phenotypes remain largely subjective. This study aimed to develop and validate a visual, semi‐quantitative system for head shape phenotype in rabbits.

Unravelling the health status of brachycephalic dogs in the UK using multivariable analysis [PDF]

, 2020
Brachycephalic dog breeds are regularly asserted as being less healthy than non-brachycephalic breeds. Using primary-care veterinary clinical data, this study aimed to identify predispositions and protections in brachycephalic dogs and explore differing ...

Oral non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs do not delay corneal healing in dogs with spontaneous chronic corneal epithelial defects: A retrospective cohort of 186 ulcers

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Oral non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used for analgesia in dogs with spontaneous chronic corneal epithelial defects (SCCEDs). Topical NSAIDs can delay epithelialisation and promote stromal melting, but the safety of systemic NSAIDs in SCCEDs is unknown.

Comparison of the Relationship between Cerebral White Matter and Grey Matter in Normal Dogs and Dogs with Lateral Ventricular Enlargement.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Large cerebral ventricles are a frequent finding in brains of dogs with brachycephalic skull conformation, in comparison with mesaticephalic dogs. It remains unclear whether oversized ventricles represent a normal variant or a pathological condition in ...

Canine desexing attitudes and practices of Australian veterinarians: A cross‐sectional survey

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Canine desexing is one of the most common small animal surgical procedures in Australia, yet little is known about current practices. This study characterised attitudes, practitioner recommendations and surgical practices for routine canine desexing among Australian veterinarians using an online cross‐sectional survey (n = 107). Respondent demographics

Speech, Language and Communication in Children With KBG Syndrome

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) are frequently reported in KBG syndrome yet no study has investigated them using standardised assessments. This study aimed to characterise the communicative abilities of children with KBG syndrome using a combination of caregiver‐reported questionnaires and adapted online speech and ...

Breed-Specific Skull Morphology Reveals Insights into Canine Optic Chiasm Positioning and Orbital Structure through 3D CT Scan Analysis

Animals
This study’s CT scan-based morphometric analysis of 50 adult dogs explored the relationship between skull shape variations (determined by the skull index, SI), optic chiasm, optic canals, and orbital shape. Dogs were classified as brachycephalic (SI ≥ 59)

Otitis media with effusion in two Boston terrier dogs

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2023
Otitis media (OM) in dogs can occur as a primary condition instead of as an extension of an otitis externa (OE), characterized by the presence of fluid in the middle ear (ME) referred to as OM with effusion (OME).

When Virchow's law fails: Crouzon syndrome as a test case for quantitative suture closure–endocranial shape relationships

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Crouzon syndrome shows preserved intracranial volume but profoundly altered endocranial shape, with disrupted allometric coupling relative to controls. Treating calvarial suture patency as a continuous, age‐adjusted variable reveals strong system‐level covariation with endocranial morphology, effects invisible to conventional categorical suture scoring.
