Retrospective evaluation of traumatic pneumomediastinum in dogs and cats (2005-2022): 52 cases.

Objective: To describe the incidence, etiology, clinical signs, diagnostics, treatments, and outcome of noniatrogenic traumatic pneumomediastinum (TPM) in dogs and cats.

Design: Retrospective study of cases (2005-2022).

Setting: University veterinary teaching hospital.

Thromboelastometry for assessment of hemostasis and disease severity in 42 dogs with naturally-occurring heatstroke.

Background: Thromboelastometry (TEM) provides a comprehensive overview of the entire coagulation process and has not been evaluated in heatstroke-induced coagulopathies in dogs.

Objectives: To determine the diagnostic and prognostic utility of TEM in dogs with heatstroke.

Animals: Forty-two client-owned dogs with heatstroke.

Dog and cat exposures to drugs of abuse identified by the California animal health and food safety laboratory system 2013-2023.

Introduction: While known animal exposures to human "drugs of abuse" (DA) were previously considered relatively uncommon in veterinary medicine, the trends are changing. Marijuana and amphetamines are among the 20 toxicants most frequently consulted about with the Pet Poison Helpline. When such exposures occur, they are typically considered emergencies.

Serum Cholesterol Concentration on Admission in 415 Dogs Envenomated by as a Marker of Envenomation Severity and Outcome-A Retrospective Study.

() (), accounts for most envenomations in humans and dogs in Israel. In humans envenomed by , serum cholesterol concentration (sChol) is inversely correlated with envenomation severity. This study examined the utility of sChol upon admission in dogs envenomed by as an envenomation severity and outcome marker.

Retrospective study of canine blood xenotransfusion compared with type-matched feline blood allotransfusion to cats: indications, effectiveness, limitations and adverse effects.

Objectives: Xenotransfusion is the transfusion of blood from one species to another. With varying availability of allogenic feline blood (AFB) and in emergency conditions, circumstances occur when canine blood is transfused to cats. This study aimed to characterise the indications, effectiveness, limitations, and acute and late transfusion-related adverse effects of canine blood xenotransfusion compared with matched AFB to anaemic cats, and their survival and longer-term outcome.
