Feline proliferative and necrotising otitis externa (PNOE) is a rare immune-mediated condition, usually self-limiting or responsive to immunosuppressants such as topical tacrolimus. This case report describes two cats with refractory PNOE that responded successfully to oclacitinib. One cat also had middle ear involvement and the other cat had extra-auricular dermatitis.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical benefit and adverse events following outpatient intravenous (IV) ketamine-lidocaine (KL) infusions for palliation of cancer pain in dogs and cats.
Methods: Medical records from 15 years (2008 to 2023) were searched and data reviewed retrospectively. Animals were prescribed ketamine (0.

Most neural models produce a spiking output and often represent the stochastic nature of the spike generation process via a stochastic output. Nonspiking neural models, on the other hand, predict the probability of a spike occurring in response to a stimulus. We propose a nonspiking model for an electrically stimulated auditory nerve fiber, which not only predicts the total probability of a spike occurring in response to a biphasic pulse but also the distribution of the spike time.

Background: Lesions causing refractory epilepsy, often associated with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), can be undetectable on standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in dogs. Automated brain volumetry, widely used in human medicine, can now be applied in veterinary medicine because of the availability of brain atlases.
Objectives: This study aimed to develop an automatic volumetry method, translate the outcomes into the assessment of temporal lobe volumes in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy, and correlate the results with the electroencephalography (EEG) data of epileptiform discharges (EDs).

Feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is a painful and severe inflammatory mucosal disease in cats that presents significant challenges in treatment. This case study describes a novel approach for a cat with FCGS that was unresponsive to antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and dental extraction. The cat exhibited rapid improvement after undergoing oral indocyanine green (ICG)-mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT); however, treatment was discontinued due to an episode of anaphylaxis.
