Article Synopsis
- Pericardial effusions in dogs are commonly noted, but their link to rodenticide poisoning is not well documented.
- A mixed-breed dog showed signs of illness, including anorexia and cough, with diagnostic imaging revealing significant heart enlargement and fluid accumulation around the heart.
- Treatment with vitamin K led to a complete recovery, marking the first documented case of severe pericardial issues related to anticoagulant exposure in dogs.
Background: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a hereditary heterogeneous group of mechanobullous disorders caused by mutations in several structural skin proteins observed in both humans and animals. In this work, we report the incidence and the genetic trend of the junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB), a major type of EB, in the Italian German Shorthaired Pointer (GSPs) population in a 10 years span.
Methods: In this study, we monitored the genetic trend of JEB in the Italian population of the GSPs from 2009 to 2018 in 750 animals.
Introduction: The authors describe the thermography technique in animal production and in veterinary medicine applications. The thermographic technique lends itself to countless applications in biology, thanks to its characteristics of versatility, lack of invasiveness and high sensitivity. Probably the major limitation to most important aspects for its application in the animal lies in the ease of use and in its extreme sensitivity.
