Long-term outcome of domestic ferrets treated surgically for hyperadrenocorticism: 130 cases (1995-2004).

Objective: To determine the long-term survival rate and factors that affect survival time of domestic ferrets treated surgically for hyperadrenocorticism.

Study Design: Retrospective case series.

Animals: 130 ferrets with hyperadrenocorticism that were treated surgically.

Comparison of radiographic and anatomic femoral varus angle measurements in normal dogs.

Objective: To determine if the clinically practiced method of radiographic femoral varus angle (R-FVA) measurement is repeatable, reproducible, and accurate.

Study Design: Radiographic and anatomic study. ANIMALS/SAMPLE POPULATION: Normal Walker hound cadavers (n=5) and femora (n=10).

Long-term outcome of distal femoral osteotomy for treatment of combined distal femoral varus and medial patellar luxation: 12 cases (1999-2004).

Objective: To determine long-term outcome of distal femoral osteotomy as a component of treatment for distal femoral varus and medial patellar luxation in large-breed dogs.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Animals: 12 dogs (16 stifle joints).
