Intestinal ligation during ovariohysterectomy has not been previously reported in dogs. Risk factors for this complication appear to be the same as those for ureteral injury, namely decreased surgical visualization due to small patient size and small incision size. This case report describes how the presentation of intestinal ligation in a 2-kg, 11-month-old chihuahua can mimic that of iatrogenic ureteral injury with vomiting, anorexia, and severe azotemia.

Objective: Describe clinical findings and outcome in goats with vertebral infections evaluated by computed tomography (CT).
Animals: Five goats with vertebral osteomyelitis, septic physitis, and discospondylitis evaluated by CT.
Article Synopsis
- Pythium insidiosum is a pathogen affecting dogs, leading to infections primarily in the skin and gastrointestinal tract; this study focuses on its CT characteristics in noncutaneous cases.
- The research involved 25 dogs, mostly with gastrointestinal infections, revealing common lesion features like specific wall thickening and enhancement patterns.
- The study highlights that while CT findings can be similar to tumors, pythiosis should be considered when diagnosing young dogs, indicating CT is useful for assessing this infection.
Long-term outcomes of the global tuberculosis and COVID-19 co-infection cohort.

Article Synopsis
- This global study investigates the long-term outcomes of patients with tuberculosis (TB) and COVID-19, highlighting a lack of prior longitudinal data on this combined condition.
- Data was collected from 788 patients across 31 countries from March 2020 to September 2022, showing a mortality rate of 10.8% during the study period.
- Key factors influencing mortality included older age, HIV infection, and the need for invasive ventilation, with patients suffering from both diseases experiencing significantly lower survival rates compared to those with only one of the diseases.
Background: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is rare but aggressive. The extent of surgical intervention for different GBC stages is non-uniform, ranging from cholecystectomy alone to extended resections including major hepatectomy, resection of adjacent organs and routine extrahepatic bile duct resection (EBDR). Robust evidence here is lacking, however, and survival benefit poorly defined.
