More Than a Moggy; A Population Genetics Analysis of the United Kingdom's Non-Pedigree Cats.

The domestic cat is one of the most popular pets in the world. It is estimated that 89-92% of domestic cats in the UK are non-pedigree Domestic shorthair (DSH), Domestic longhair (DLH), or Domestic semi-longhair cats (DSLH). Despite their popularity, little is known of the UK non-pedigree cats' population structure and breeding dynamics.

Clinical and clinicopathologic abnormalities in young dogs with acquired and congenital portosystemic shunts: 93 cases (2003-2008).

Objective: To determine whether clinical and clinicopathologic data could assist differentiation of congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSSs) from acquired portosystemic shunts (APSSs) in young dogs.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Animals: Dogs < 30 months of age with CPSSs (n = 62) or APSSs (31).
