We identified Prototheca spp. microalga in ocular samples of a cat in Spain with nontreatable endogenous endophthalmitis. Within 2 years, the eye lesions progressively worsened and neurologic signs appeared, suggesting systemic spread of the infection.

Animal Studied: A 10-month-old domestic shorthair cat was evaluated for severe ocular discomfort that did not improve despite the initiation of topical antibiotic treatment.
Methods: A complete ophthalmic examination and ancillary tests such as biomicroscopy and corneal cytology were performed at the time of presentation.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of coronofrontal rhytidectomy (CFR) to treat severe eyelid issues in dogs, specifically pseudoptosis and superior entropion, while offering guidelines for surgical techniques based on individual cases.
- Data was collected from medical records of 20 dogs over 21 years, with key findings including a high prevalence of entropion, conjunctivitis, and other eye conditions, alongside successful outcomes from various surgical methods.
- The results indicate that CFR is highly effective, achieving over 90% success in correcting eyelid positioning, with no reported complications post-surgery.
Purpose: To describe a novel technique of nasolacrimal foreign body extraction in dogs by using a 20G vitreoretinal forceps introduced through the superior lacrimal punctum.
Methods: A retrospective review of the medical records of dogs with dacryocystitis due to nasolacrimal foreign bodies between the years 2001 and 2022 was performed. We recorded the breed, age, affected eye, type and number of foreign bodies, concomitant diseases, and the use of imaging techniques.
A total of 150 21-day-old weaned piglets [(Yorkshire × Landrace) × Duroc] were randomly assigned to 3 groups (CON, TRT1, TRT2) to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of probiotic, paraprobiotic, and hydrolyzed yeast mixture (PPY) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, fecal bacterial counts, fecal calprotectin contents, and diarrhea rate in a 42-day experiment (phase 1: days 1-14; phase 2: days 15-42). There were 10 replicate pens per treatment with 5 pigs per pen (three gilts and two barrows). Pigs in CON were only provided with a basal diet.
