Background: Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is the most common acquired heart disease in dogs. Mitral valvuloplasty (MVP) addresses regurgitation, but the pre- and postoperative changes in myocardial function remain uncertain.

Objectives: This study evaluated myocardial motion before and after MVP using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE).

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the role of various animal species in animal-assisted services (AAS) for humans, focusing on both common (dogs and horses) and unconventional animals (like guinea pigs and dolphins).
  • While many articles highlight the positive effects of AAS on humans, there is limited research on the stress and welfare of the participating animals.
  • The authors call for more comprehensive studies to assess the potential stress levels in these animals, suggesting that animal welfare should be a priority alongside human therapeutic benefits.

Cefpodoxime proxetil is commonly used to treat cetacean patients with suspected or confirmed bacterial infections; however, pharmacokinetic data are needed to guide proper dosing in these species. Cefpodoxime proxetil is a time-dependent, semisynthetic, third-generation cephalosporin, appropriate for once-daily dosing and U.S.
