Objective: To determine the accuracy of the Reichert® Tono-Vera® Vet rebound tonometer for canine intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement.
Animals Studied: Five normal canine ex vivo globes.
Procedures: The anterior chambers of five freshly enucleated normal canine eyes were cannulated and connected to a reservoir of Plasma-Lyte A and a manometer.
Objective: To assess the accuracy of canine intraocular pressure (IOP) estimates from the eyeTelemed IOPvet indentation tonometer.
Animals Studied: Part 1 included 54 eyes from 28 Beagle dogs-23 ADAMTS10-mutants with open-angle glaucoma and 5 normals. Part 2 involved five normal canine ex vivo globes.
Objective: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements in dogs taken with the Reichert® Tono-Vera® Vet rebound tonometer with and without the automatic positioning system.
Animals Studied: Measurements were taken on 49 eyes from 26 Beagle-derived dogs with variable genetics-four non-glaucomatous and 22 ADAMTS10-mutant dogs affected with different stages of open-angle glaucoma. Seventeen of the 26 dogs were measured 2-4 times on different days with variable intervals since IOP-lowering medications were administered.
Background: Corticosteroids are a commonly used, inexpensive intra-articular treatment for osteoarthritis which may increase the risk for laminitis in horses due, in part, to hyperinsulinaemia. Humans with metabolic syndrome experience increases in insulin and glucose concentrations post-injection, but responses in horses are unknown.
Objectives: To determine the effect of a single intra-articular (IA) dose of triamcinolone acetate (TA) on blood insulin and glucose concentrations.
