Poor performance in the horse: Diagnosing the non‐orthopaedic causes

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 208-224, April 2023., 2023
Summary Poor performance and gait deficits in the equine athlete are most commonly caused by lameness of orthopaedic origin; however, there are numerous other potential sources that should be taken into consideration. This review describes the clinical signs and diagnostic tests for non‐orthopaedic causes of poor performance and gait deficits in the ...

Influence of landscape attributes on Virginia opossum density

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 86, Issue 7, September 2022., 2022
Densities of Virginia opossum are highest in bottomland swamp and riparian hardwood compared to upland pine and isolated wetlands. In landscapes containing easily available permanent water sources, isolated wetlands within pine plantations do not influence opossum population density and should not be considered a major habitat feature of opossums when ...

Interpretation of cerebrospinal fluid analysis from recumbent cows using different thresholds of red blood cell count

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 1837-1842, September/October 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Hemodilution of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) could confound interpretation of results. Accurately predicting total nucleated cells count (TNCC) and total protein concentration (TPC) attributable to hemodilution is difficult. Objective To determine the effects of hemodilution on TPC and TNCC in bovine CSF.

Pharmacokinetics of orally administered single‐dose ponazuril in cats

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 229-234, May 2022., 2022
Abstract Cats and kittens in animal shelters and catteries regularly suffer from severe gastrointestinal coccidiosis, which can be fatal, and there are no drugs labeled for feline coccidiosis in the United States. Ponazuril, a triazine‐class drug, is increasingly used at a dose of 50 mg/kg/d, orally, for three to five days in shelter environments for ...

Evidence for Unknown Sarcocystis-Like Infection in Stranded Striped Dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) from the Ligurian Sea, Italy

Animals, 2021
Two striped dolphins (SD1, SD2), stranded along the Ligurian coast of Italy, were diagnosed with a nonsuppurative meningoencephalitis associated with previously undescribed protozoan tissue cysts. As tissue cysts were morphologically different from those
