Canine separation-related behaviour at six months of age: Dog, owner and early-life risk factors identified using the 'Generation Pup' longitudinal study.

Separation-related behaviours (SRBs) in dogs () often indicate poor welfare. Understanding SRB risk factors can aid prevention strategies. We investigated whether early-life experiences and dog-owner interactions affect SRB development.

Dental disease in companion rabbits under UK primary veterinary care: Frequency and risk factors.

Background: Some prior evidence has suggested that lop-eared rabbits and those with brachycephalic skull conformations have a higher dental disease risk. This retrospective cohort study reports the frequency and conformational risk factors for primary-care veterinary diagnosis with dental disease in companion rabbits in the UK.

Methods: Anonymised VetCompass clinical records were manually reviewed to confirm dental disease cases.

Ear health and quality of life in pet rabbits of differing ear conformations: A UK survey of owner-reported signalment risk factors and effects on rabbit welfare and behaviour.

The impacts of ear disease on animal welfare and behaviour are little documented. Ear disease may be common in rabbits, but difficult to recognise, and lop-ears have previously been indicated as a risk factor for ear disease. We aimed to better understand the range of ear conditions in pet rabbits, signalment risk factors, and impacts on welfare and behaviour.

Real-world use and outcomes of belimumab in childhood-onset lupus: A single-center retrospective study.

Background: Studies of real-world effectiveness of belimumab in adults with systemic lupus erythematosus have shown improved disease control and decreased oral glucocorticoid use. However, belimumab use outside of clinical trial settings has not been well studied in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE). We aimed to characterize indications for belimumab use and evaluate oral glucocorticoid doses and disease activity scores in the year following belimumab initiation at a single, large pediatric rheumatology center.
