Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated how effective capsule endoscopy is for spotting foreign objects in the stomachs of healthy dogs, focusing on different numbers of objects and stomach conditions.
- Five beagle dogs were given safe, artificial foreign items, and the resulting images were analyzed by both veterinarians and laypeople.
- The findings showed that capsule endoscopy had a high overall sensitivity of 99.1% and specificity of 90.4%, indicating it’s a useful method for detecting stomach foreign bodies, especially in cases where traditional methods fall short.*
Article Synopsis
- - SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, has raised concerns about its ability to infect animals, prompting studies in densely populated cities like Hong Kong and Seoul to assess exposure in cats and dogs.
- - Testing of 1040 cats and 855 dogs for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies revealed a low percentage of positive results, with higher rates in dogs compared to cats and very few showing neutralizing antibodies.
- - The study indicates that while there is some exposure to the virus in companion animals, the low seroprevalence suggests limited transmission, and discrepancies in test results could point to cross-reactivity with other coronaviruses.
This study was conducted to identify the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and efficacy of intralesional injection as a method of application to acute cutaneous wounds in dogs. Healthy adult beagles (n = 3) were used in this study. Autologous PRP was separated from anticoagulant treated whole blood in three dogs.

Additionally, the association of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and tissue levels of interleukin (IL)-6 with clinical prognosis was assessed. Ischemic stroke was induced by permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in nine healthy experimental dogs.
