Background: Endogenous carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) production is a byproduct of hemoglobin metabolism.
Hypothesis: Blood carboxyhemoglobin concentrations are higher in cats with hemolytic anemia (HA).
Animals: Twenty cats with HA, 29 cats with non-HA, and 22 controls were prospectively followed.
Background: Copper-associated chronic hepatitis (CuCH) is poorly characterised in Cavalier King Charles spaniels (CKCS).
Methods: Hepatic copper accumulation was qualitatively and quantitatively assessed, and blood samples were used for genetic testing to screen for known CuCH-associated genetic variants.
Results: The study included 13 CKCS with CuCH and eight unaffected controls.
Background: Periodontal disease (PD) can adversely affect glycaemic control in humans. However, it is unknown if a similar association exists in dogs.
Methods: Ten client-owned dogs with poorly regulated diabetes mellitus (DM) and PD were prospectively enrolled.
Carboxyhemoglobin as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker of hemolytic anemias in dogs.
J Vet Intern Med
January 2023
Background: Endogenous production of carbon monoxide during hemoglobin metabolism leads to the formation of carboxyhemoglobin. Carboxyhemoglobin concentration is abnormally high in humans with hemolytic anemia (HA).
Hypothesis: Measurement of carboxyhemoglobin concentration can discriminate HA from other forms of anemia.
Evaluation of a treatment protocol in dogs with intraspinal spirocercosis.
J Am Vet Med Assoc
December 2022
Objective: To evaluate the efficiency and safety of a doramectin-based treatment protocol in dogs affected by intraspinal spirocercosis (Spirocerca lupi).
Animals: Client-owned dogs that were admitted to a veterinary hospital during 2021 to 2022 with acute onset of neurological signs and diagnosed with intraspinal spirocercosis. All dogs underwent complete neurological evaluation, CSF analysis, PCR confirmation of CNS S lupi infection, and follow-up evaluation of at least 6 months.
