Objective: To evaluate skin perfusion in cats receiving dexmedetomidine compared to a placebo.
Animals: 9 healthy adult research cats.
Methods: A randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study design was used.
Objectives: People deprived of housing have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the public health mitigation measures implemented in response. Emerging evidence has shown the adverse health outcomes experienced by these communities due to SARS-CoV-2 infection; however, the voices of community members themselves have not been widely amplified in the published literature.
Methods: We conducted an interpretive qualitative study.
Ultrasound phantoms are training tools that can help students learn basic ultrasound principles. The purpose of this prospective cohort design study was to determine whether preclinical veterinary students in a curriculum with more phantom training sessions acquire better-quality ultrasound images of kidneys in live canines compared with students in a curriculum without sequential phantom training sessions. In clinical skills labs, 132 second-year (2VM) and 130 third-year (3VM) veterinary students obtained sagittal and transverse images of the left kidney of healthy, student-owned dogs.

Animals: 7 healthy, colony-housed Beagles.
Procedures: The GITTs and pH were measured using a continuous pH monitoring system.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to characterize gastrointestinal (GI) transit times and pH in healthy cats.
Methods: GI transit times and pH were measured in six healthy, colony-housed, purpose-bred spayed female cats using a continuous, non-invasive pH monitoring system in a sequential order design. For the first period ('pre-feeding'), food was withheld for 20 h, followed by oral administration of a pH capsule.
