Carprofen-induced oxidative stress in mitochondria of the colonic mucosa of the dog.

The purpose of the study was to compare the conductance and mannitol permeability of canine colonic mucosa in response to carprofen or 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) with or without tempol pretreatment. Ten colonic mucosa sections per dog were mounted in Ussing chambers. Treatments were done in duplicate.

Ex vivo comparison of three surgical techniques to stabilize canine cranial cruciate ligament deficient stifles.

Objective: To quantify and compare canine stifle stability after 3 stabilization techniques.

Study Design: Randomized controlled study.

Sample Population: Adult canine cadaveric pelvic limbs.

Frequency of urinary tract infection in catheterized dogs and comparison of bacterial culture and susceptibility testing results for catheterized and noncatheterized dogs with urinary tract infections.

Objective: To determine frequency of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in catheterized dogs that had intervertebral disk disease (IVDD) or disease other than IVDD and compare bacterial culture and susceptibility testing results for catheterized and noncatheterized dogs with UTIs.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Animals: 147 catheterized dogs (105 with IVDD and 42 with other diseases) and 99 noncatheterized dogs with UTIs.
