- The study assessed the prevalence and risk factors for urinary tract infections (UTI) in dogs post-surgery for thoracolumbar intervertebral disc (IVD) extrusions.
- It found a 27% overall UTI prevalence, with variations at different time points after surgery (15% before, ranging up to 20% on the 7th day).
- Key risk factors for UTI included female sex, inability to ambulate or urinate, lack of perioperative antibiotics, and low body temperature during anesthesia.
Objective: To characterize the pharmacokinetics of lamivudine (3TC) in cats.
Animals: 6 sexually intact 9-month-old barrier-reared domestic shorthair cats.
Procedure: Cats were randomly alloted into 3 groups, and lamivudine (25 mg/kg) was administered i.
Objective: To determine whether signalment, duration of hernia, clinical signs, contents of hernia, CBC and serum biochemical abnormalities, concurrent injuries, perioperative treatment and administration of analgesics, results of intraoperative anesthetic monitoring data, or level of training of the veterinarian performing the herniorrhaphy was associated with mortality rate after surgical repair of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia in cats.
Design: Retrospective study.
Animals: 34 cats.
