Population Pharmacokinetics of Sildenafil in Dogs With Naturally Occurring Pulmonary Hypertension

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 267-273, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The pharmacokinetics of sildenafil are ill‐defined in dogs with naturally occurring pulmonary hypertension (PH). Because the plasma concentrations of sildenafil have not been reported for dogs with this disease, this study aimed to describe the population pharmacokinetics of sildenafil in a sample of dogs with PH. Twenty client‐owned dogs with

Heartworm disease: Case study in dog patient

, 2011
Dirofilaria immitis is a parasite in a. pulmonalis in domestic and wild carnivora. Partial development and the transfer of this parasite among carnivora takes place through the mosquito, which makes possible the maintaining and spreading of this

Thoracic Computed Tomographic Characteristics of Canine Blastomycosis

Veterinary Radiology &Ultrasound, Volume 67, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT While thoracic radiographic studies have described the broad thoracic findings of canine blastomycosis, thoracic computed tomographic (CT) findings have been minimally reported. This single‐center, retrospective, descriptive case series study aimed to characterize thoracic CT features of canine blastomycosis.

Echocardiographic Evaluation of the Right Ventricular Thickness, Myocardial Visualization, and Fractional Area Change: The Impact of Contrast Agent and Transducer Selection

Veterinary Radiology &Ultrasound, Volume 67, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate assessment of right ventricular wall thickness, myocardial visualization, and chamber dimensions is crucial in veterinary cardiology but remains understudied in dogs. This prospective observational study evaluated 10 healthy beagle dogs to compare three echocardiographic approaches for assessing right ventricular parameters: sector ...

Dirofilaria immitis Infection and First Molecular Characterization in Domestic Dogs From Areas of Northwest Mexico

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Dirofilaria immitis is a parasitic nematode of veterinary importance and zoonotic risk that has been reported in central and southern states of México, as a parasite of domestic and wild dogs. However, in the northwestern area of the country, its presence and prevalence are unknown.

Pig-hunting dogs are an at-risk population for canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) infection in eastern Australia

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Canine heartworm disease, caused by Dirofilaria immitis, has global veterinary importance. In Australia, the prevalence of canine heartworm infection decreased markedly following the introduction of over-the-counter macrocyclic lactones.
