European Genotyping Survey of Dyserythropoietic Anemia and Myopathy Syndrome in English Springer Spaniels.

Dyserythropoietic anemia and myopathy syndrome (DAMS) with neonatal losses was recently characterized as an autosomal recessive disorder caused by an frameshift variant in English Springer Spaniels (ESSPs). The frequency and dissemination of the mutation remained unknown. The EHBP1L1 protein is essential for muscle function, and the Rab8/10-EHBP1L1-Bin1-dynamin axis participates in nuclear polarization during the enucleation of erythroblasts.

Diffusion data augmentation for enhancing Norberg hip angle estimation.

Vet Radiol Ultrasound

January 2025

Department of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science, Yeshiva University, New York, New York, USA.

The Norberg angle (NA) plays a crucial role in evaluating hip joint conformation, particularly in canines, by quantifying femoral head subluxation within the hip joint. Therefore, it is an important metric for evaluating hip joint quality and diagnosing canine hip dysplasia, the most prevalent hereditary orthopedic disorder in dogs. While contemporary tools offer automated quantification of the NA, their usage typically entails manual labeling and verification of radiographic images by professional veterinarians.

Keratoconjunctivitis sicca in intact Aksaray Malakli breed dogs: Evaluation of 50 cases.

Vet Ophthalmol

December 2024

Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Biostatistics, Ankara University, Ankara, Turkey.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), a condition in dogs that leads to eye damage due to reduced tear production, particularly in Aksaray Malakli breed dogs.
  • Researchers evaluated fifty healthy dogs showing signs of eye irritation and used tests to measure tear production and film stability.
  • Results indicated that dogs with third eyelid gland prolapse had lower tear production and film stability, highlighting a need for further research to manage KCS in this breed.

Firework aversion in cats and dogs as reported by Dutch animal owners.

Vet Anim Sci

December 2024

Division of Animals in Science and Society, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Population Health Sciences, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Article Synopsis
  • Firework aversion is common in cats and dogs, leading to behaviors like hiding, fleeing, and social withdrawal, which can negatively impact animal welfare.
  • * Our research in The Netherlands involved 3,009 dogs and 622 cats, examining their firework-related behaviors, early life factors, and owners' beliefs about how they influence their pets' reactions.
  • * We confirmed that poor early life experiences increase the likelihood of firework aversion in dogs, and found that most pet owners hear fireworks regularly throughout the year, yet many interventions for this aversion are reported to have little lasting effect.
