Objective: To assess the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on Crotalinae envenomation-induced wound swelling and severity and pain in dogs, and to describe the safety and complications of HBOT.

Design: Prospective, randomized, controlled, blinded study (2017-2021).

Setting: University teaching hospital, private veterinary practice.

Resuscitation Patterns and Massive Transfusion for the Critical Bleeding Dog-A Multicentric Retrospective Study of 69 Cases (2007-2013).

To describe resuscitation patterns of critically bleeding dogs, including those receiving massive transfusion (MT). Retrospective study from three universities (2007-2013). Critically bleeding dogs, defined as dogs who received ≥ 25 ml/kg of blood products for treatment of hemorrhagic shock caused by blood loss.

Use of intravenous lipid therapy in a cat with carprofen overdose.

Intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) was administered to a cat with no adverse effects. This case report postulates that ILE can be used for the treatment of carprofen toxicity in cats and supports the lipid sink theory as the main mechanism of action.

Retrospective evaluation of the clinical course and outcome following grape or raisin ingestion in dogs (2005-2014): 139 cases.

Objective: To describe the prevalence of acute kidney injury (AKI), clinical course, decontamination procedures, and outcome in dogs following grape or raisin ingestion.

Design: Retrospective case series from 2005 to 2014.

Setting: Three university veterinary teaching hospitals.

Comparison of heparinized saline and 0.9% sodium chloride for maintaining central venous catheter patency in healthy dogs.

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine whether heparinized saline (HS) would be more effective in maintaining the patency of central venous catheters (CVCs) in dogs compared to 0.9% sodium chloride. This was a prospective randomized blinded study conducted at a University Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

Tissue oxygen saturation in dogs with acute hemorrhage.

Objective: To evaluate initial tissue hemoglobin oxygen saturation (StO ) in dogs presenting to an emergency room (ER) for acute hemorrhage.

Design: Prospective, observational study.

Setting: University veterinary teaching hospital.

Parvoviral myocarditis in a 5-week-old Dachshund.

Objective: To describe a case of myocarditis associated with naturally occurring canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2).

Case Summary: A 5-week-old male intact Dachshund dog presented for acute respiratory distress. Limited diagnostic tests prior to the dog experiencing cardiopulmonary arrest included a lateral thoracic radiograph, which indicated cardiomegaly and diffuse unstructured pulmonary infiltrate.
