Retrospective study of the early clinical experience with a precontoured angle-stable interlocking nail for fracture repair in dogs and cats.

Objective: To report indications, outcomes, and complications with a precontoured angle-stable interlocking nail (CAS-ILN).

Animals: 90 client-owned animals.

Methods: Dogs and cats treated with the CAS-ILN between 2020 and 2022 were retrospectively reviewed.

Intestinal full-thickness needle-core biopsy via laparotomy is safe, rapid, and effective and less invasive than standard incisional biopsy in dogs and cats.

Objective: To describe the intestinal full-thickness needle-core biopsy technique via abdominal laparotomy outcomes and compare the histopathological and immunohistochemical diagnosis with standard incisional intestinal biopsy technique in dogs and cats.

Animals: 3 dogs and 17 cats.

Methods: Client-owned dogs and cats were prospectively enrolled if intestinal full-thickness biopsies were indicated for the diagnosis of diffuse chronic intestinal diseases following ultrasonography.
