Mild hypothermia is associated with altered volume kinetic parameters of an intravenous crystalloid fluid bolus in healthy isoflurane-anesthetized cats.

Objective: To assess the impact of mild hypothermia on the distribution and elimination of an IV crystalloid fluid bolus in healthy anesthetized cats using volume kinetic (VK) analysis.

Methods: 10 adult cats were anesthetized and included in a prospective, randomized, cross-over study. The subjects were maintained either normothermic (38.

Intraobserver and interobserver reliability of standardized capillary refill time in dogs is high following observer training.

Objective: To assess intraobserver and interobserver reliability of capillary refill time (CRT) measurement in dogs using a standardized technique after training.

Animals: 20 dogs presented to the emergency room.

Methods: Dogs presented to the emergency room were prospectively recruited.

Phaeochromocytoma associated with cardiomyopathy and leukocytoclastic vasculitis in a dog.

Phaeochromocytomas are rare tumours of the adrenal medulla that can be associated with various presentations. Many of the better characterized clinical signs, including weakness, tachycardia and tachypnoea, are attributable to excessive and unregulated catecholamine secretion from functional tumours. In addition to catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy and vasospasm, the invasive nature of phaeochromocytomas can lead to occlusion of the caudal vena cava contributing to systemic cardiovascular compromise.

Bacteriuria in Cystocentesis Samples from Cats in the United Kingdom: Prevalence, Bacterial Isolates, and Antimicrobial Susceptibilities.

Bacterial urinary tract infections (UTIs) have historically been reported to be uncommon in cats; however, recent studies showed a higher prevalence. Bacterial UTIs are one of the most common reasons for the use of antimicrobial drugs in veterinary medicine. Our aim was to investigate the prevalence of positive cultures in urine samples submitted to a UK laboratory for testing, as well as prevalence of bacterial species and their antimicrobial susceptibility to commonly used antibiotics.

Prevalence, clinical presentation and MRI of intervertebral disc herniations in cats.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence and to describe the clinical and diagnostic imaging features of the different types of feline intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH).

Methods: Medical records and imaging studies were retrospectively reviewed for cats diagnosed with IVDH between January 2008 and October 2020. Information obtained from the clinical records included signalment, clinical presentation, the presence of spinal hyperaesthesia and neurolocalisation.
