DOGS & CATS OVERDUE FOR VACCINATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR Published vaccination guidelines for dogs and cats enable the clinician to implement vaccination protocols tailored for individual patients that provide protective immunity at the appropriate stages of life. 1,2 However, protocols used in practice generally assume owner compliance with the recommended, ideal vaccination schedule. DIAGNOSING, TREATING, AND MANAGING CAUSES OF Dr. Ledbetter is a professor of comparative ophthalmology at Cornell University. After graduating from the University of Missouri, he completed a small animal medicine and surgery internship at Texas A&M University and a comparative ophthalmology residency at HANDLING EUTHANASIA IN YOUR PRACTICE Here are some tips: Put a large fluffy bath rug (with a rubber sole) on the ground or on the table. Soft, pretty blankets and towels specific for euthanasia should be used to wrap the pet in. Provide soft background noise, perhaps a water feature or soft music withoutwords.

IS THERE AN OPTIMAL AGE FOR CAT SPAY OR NEUTER? Over the past several decades, the recommended age for spay (ovariohysterectomy) or neuter (castration) of cats has changed. At one time, the recommended age for spay was after the female cat had a litter, then it changed to after the first heat cycle, and eventually the veterinary profession settled on 6 months of age or older. Given that cats reach sexual maturity at about 5 months of age TREATING AND MANAGING DIABETES MELLITUS IN DOGS Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common endocrine disease in dogs; the reported worldwide prevalence ranges from 0.3% to 1.3%. 1-4 This disease results from an absolute or relative lack of the hormone insulin.

IMMUNE-MEDIATED HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) is one of the more commonly encountered causes of anemia in dogs and cats. IMHA can affect animals of any age, but it most commonly affects young adult and middle-aged dogs and cats. The condition can either be primary (nonassociative), in which the immune disease has no known causative trigger, or GABAPENTIN AND AMANTADINE FOR CHRONIC PAIN IN DOGS AND CONCLUSION. Although research evidence is currently lacking, the scientific mechanisms of gabapentin and amantadine support their use as part of analgesic protocols for chronic pain relief in dogs and cats. Each can effectively treat chronic pain when the dose, administration frequency, and duration of treatment are correct. CANINE CHRONIC BRONCHITIS: A REVIEW AND UPDATE Canine chronic bronchitis (CCB) is defined as cough that is present most days for a minimum duration of 2 months, without evidence of other underlying diseases that may cause cough.

Overrepresented breeds include miniature poodle, dachshund, Scottish terrier, cocker spaniel, chow chow, and golden retriever. 1-3 Most dogs that develop oral malignant melanoma (OMM) are older; there is no gender predilection. 4 OMM must be differentiated from other malignant tumors of the oral cavity (e.g., squamous cell carcinoma BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING FROM A NURSING PERSPECTIVE, PART Blood Pressure Monitoring: Looking at the “Big Picture” Veterinary nurses should think critically about results obtained in their patients, never looking at 1 value independent of the rest of the patient.. In other words, think about your patient globally and consider the patient’s blood pressure reading as part of the bigger picture.

INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE (IBD) IN DOGS AND CATS Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a multifactorial disease of dogs and cats characterized by chronic enteropathies that can significantly impact quality of life. These enteropathies are usually thought of as being food responsive, antibiotic responsive, steroid responsive, or refractory, regardless of immunosuppressive therapies (idiopathicIBD).
EVALUATING AND MANAGING CHRONIC COUGH IN DOGS Treating these underlying problems takes priority over mere cough suppression; however, determining these underlying causes of cough can be challenging. In general, chronic cough in dogs can occur secondary to cardiac disease, respiratory disease, or both. Cardiac causes include left-sided congestive heart failure and advanced heartwormdisease.
ROUNDWORMS IN DOGS: DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT, AND PREVENTION Dogs can become infected with many infectious agents, but the “unholy trinity” of roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms ranks among some of the most common and well known. For many reasons, including persistence of infectious stages in the environment and zoonotic potential (i.e., larva migrans), it is advantageous to prevent these parasitic infections and the resulting soilcontamination
AN UNCONTROLLED DIABETIC CAT Consider This Disease: Acromegaly. Acromegaly, also known as hypersomatotropism, is a disease characterized by excess GH, which stimulates increased production of IGF-1 in the liver and other tissues. GH and IGF-1 cause a variety of changes in the body, including organ enlargement and increased proliferation of bone that can be seen visually as jaw enlargement (prognathism) or large paws.2,4,5

MANAGING UVEITIS IN DOGS AND CATS These agents are used to dilate the pupil, prevent posterior synechia, reduce pain from ciliary muscle spasm, and help stabilize the blood–aqueous barrier. The treatment of choice is atropine sulfate 1% applied q24h to q8h depending on uveitis severity, then tapered to q48h after maximal pupil dilation. ORAL CYCLOSPORINE USE IN DOGS Originally derived from a soil fungus, cyclosporine is a powerful immunosuppressive drug that was initially used in humans to prevent rejection of transplanted organs.1-3 In 2003, oral cyclosporine capsules (Atopica, novartis.com) received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for treatment of atopy in dogs.

VACCINATING DOGS AGAINST LYME DISEASE: TWO POINTS OF VIEW Despite availability of a consensus statement and up-to-date canine vaccination guidelines (see Lyme Disease Vaccination Guidelines), the decision whether or not to vaccinate dogs against Lyme disease remains an ongoing debate among many veterinary professionals.. Today’s Veterinary Practice has gathered 3 experts to discuss this topic—Dr. Meryl Littman and Dr. Richard Goldstein evaluate A CLINICAL APPROACH TO ALOPECIA IN CATS In the author’s experience, spontaneous alopecia is much less common than self-inflicted alopecia in cats, especially if the affected area is diffuse or widespread (FIGURE 2).In some cats, spontaneous alopecia can be readily demonstrated; large amounts of fur can be easily epilated by gentle tugging, especially at the edges of the alopecic area. 12,13 In the absence of such evidence, the DOGS & CATS OVERDUE FOR VACCINATION RECOMMENDATIONS FORSEE MORE ON TODAYSVETERINARYPRACTICE.COMWHAT DOES FVRCP STAND FOR VACCINATION OF CATS AGAINST INFECTIOUS UPPER RESPIRATORYFELINE UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTIONSIGNS OF UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTION IN CATS Richard B.

TOOTH EXTRACTION COMPLICATIONS IN DOGS AND CATS One of the most commonly performed oral surgery procedures in general practice is exodontia, or tooth extraction. Indications for extraction, grouped by patient age, are shown in BOX 1.Your objective with extraction is to remove the entire tooth and root without unnecessary damage to the surrounding soft tissue or bone. The easiest way to avoid surgical complications is through adequate ORAL CYCLOSPORINE USE IN DOGS Originally derived from a soil fungus, cyclosporine is a powerful immunosuppressive drug that was initially used in humans to prevent rejection of transplanted organs.1-3 In 2003, oral cyclosporine capsules (Atopica, novartis.com) received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for treatment of atopy in dogs.

CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING IN VETERINARY PATIENTS| Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are devices that attach to a patient for up to 2 weeks and measure interstitial glucose levels during that time. These devices have become more affordable and applicable in veterinary medicine in the past few years. CANINE HYPOTHYROIDISM: DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disease of dogs. It occurs when the thyroid glands fail to produce adequate amounts of the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Primary hypothyroidism resulting from idiopathic thyroid gland atrophy or immune-mediated lymphocytic thyroiditis is the most common diagnosis. AN UNCONTROLLED DIABETIC CAT Consider This Disease: Acromegaly. Acromegaly, also known as hypersomatotropism, is a disease characterized by excess GH, which stimulates increased production of IGF-1 in the liver and other tissues. GH and IGF-1 cause a variety of changes in the body, including organ enlargement and increased proliferation of bone that can be seen visually as jaw enlargement (prognathism) or large paws.2,4,5
