Evaluation of Ground Reaction Forces and Limb Symmetry Indices Using Ground Reaction Forces Collected with One or Two Plates in Dogs Exhibiting a Stifle Lameness.

Objective:  The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficiency and consistency in the collection of ground reaction forces using one or two force plates from dogs with stifle lameness.

Animals:  Twenty-two client-owned dogs with unilateral stifle lameness were used.

Methods:  In a prospective study design, data were collected at a single time point using both one- and two-plate collection methods.

Comparison of the effects on lameness of orally administered acetaminophen-codeine and carprofen in dogs with experimentally induced synovitis.

Objective: To compare the ability of acetaminophen-codeine (AC; 15.5 to 18.5 mg/kg and 1.

Comparison of two inhibitors of E-type prostanoid receptor four and carprofen in dogs with experimentally induced acute synovitis.

Objective: To investigate the ability of a proprietary antagonist of E-type prostanoid receptor (EP) 4, grapiprant, and carprofen to attenuate lameness attributable to urate-induced synovitis in dogs.

Animals: 5 purpose-bred hound-cross dogs.

Procedures: A blinded, 3-way crossover study was performed.
