Article Synopsis
- The study observed 488 tetraplegic and paraplegic dogs to assess clinical occurrences during rehabilitation, finding a high incidence of issues at 79.5%.
- Most common problems included neurogenic bladder (58%), diarrhea (35.5%), urinary incontinence (21.3%), and fecal incontinence (20.5%).
- Effective measures like POCUS evaluations, proper positioning, physical exercises, and neurorehabilitation protocols showed potential in reducing serious issues like respiratory problems and urinary tract infections, particularly in breeds like French Bulldogs and Dachshunds.
Applications of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in Splenic Studies of Dogs and Cats.
Animals (Basel)
August 2022
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an emerging technology in veterinary medicine involving the administration of intravenous contrast agents, and it is increasingly recognized for its high potential as a diagnostic imaging tool for small animals. This exam is easy and quick to perform, safe and reliable, and allows for the differentiation of lesions. It permits the identification of lesions that may require more invasive procedures, from those that can be safely dismissed to those that can be followed-up with ultrasound imaging.

- Acute Noncompressive Nucleus Pulposus Extrusion (ANNPE) in dogs often occurs during vigorous exercise and is linked to spinal cord injuries, presenting with sudden clinical signs and possible spinal shock within the first 24 hours.
- A study at the Arrábida Rehabilitation Center examined the effects of spinal shock on rehabilitation outcomes in dogs with ANNPE, comparing dogs with spinal shock (14) to those without (19) during an intensive treatment protocol.
- Results indicated that spinal shock negatively impacted rehabilitation speed, with more severe cases requiring longer hospital stays, but overall the treatment was successful, leading to 32% ambulation within a week and 94% by 60 days, with positive
The human-dog relationship is at least 16,000-years old and is mutually beneficial to both dyadic members. When the human-dog relationship becomes dysfunctional, however, there can be serious consequences for both parties and for society. Unfortunately, dysfunctional dyads are normally only identified after consequences have been felt (e.

These relationships are complex and can become problematic when they become dysfunctional. The most common signs of dysfunctional human-dog partnerships are behaviour problems that, when unidentified and uncorrected, can be a clear danger to both species and the public.

Since humans have been shown to harbour many of the same bacterial species as domestic carnivores, concern over their zoonotic potential has been growing. Helicobacter pylori, a class 1 carcinogen responsible for cases of gastritis and gastric cancer in humans, produces similar pathology in pet carnivores and is considered an example of anthroponosis.
