Introduction: The objective of this case series is to describe the clinical signs and outcome of cyclobenzaprine ingestion in two dogs treated with intralipid emulsion (ILE) and supportive care.
Case Or Series Summary: Two dogs presented for evaluation of cyclobenzaprine ingestion. A 4-year-old female spayed Rat Terrier (dog 1) presented within 4 h of ingestion of cyclobenzaprine (between 9.

Animals: 10 client-owned thrombocytopenic dogs with multicentric lymphoma.
Procedures: Results of a kaolin-activated thromboelastography assay, platelet count, and buccal mucosal bleeding time were evaluated for correlation to clinical bleeding.
Objective: To determine the incidence of adverse events within 24 hours after contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in dogs and cats and compare the risk of death within 24 hours after imaging for animals that underwent ultrasonography with and without injection of a contrast agent.
Design: Retrospective case-control study.
Animals: 750 animals (411 case dogs, 238 control dogs, 77 case cats, and 24 control cats).
