Feline subcutaneous pythiosis [PDF]

Ciência Rural, 2019
ABSTRACT: Pythiosis in felines is a rare disease associated with the oomycete Pythium insidiosum. The aim of this report was to describe the macroscopic, histopathological, and molecular characteristics of P. insidiosum infection in a 2-year-old cat, with a localized invasive subcutaneous mass. The feline had an increase of volume near the anal region

Effect of dilution of canine blood samples on the specificity of saline agglutination tests for immune‐mediated hemolysis

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 2374-2383, November/December 2020., 2020
Abstract Background Saline agglutination tests (SATs) are widely recommended for diagnosis of immune‐mediated hemolytic anemia in dogs, but there are frequent false‐positive results. Objectives Specificity of SATs will improve at higher saline‐to‐blood ratios. Animals One hundred fifty dogs treated at a veterinary referral hospital with hematocrits ≤30%
