Parasitology

Diagnosis and Treatment of Lyme Borreliosis in Dogs: A Case-Based Approach

Lyme borreliosis can present with symptoms ranging from polyarthritis to nephritis—or even asymptomatically with just a positive serology test.

Anesthesiology

Local Anesthetic Agents in Companion Animal Veterinary Practice

Local anesthetic agents are inexpensive and widely available, improve anesthetic quality, contribute to multimodal analgesia, and have opioid-sparing benefits.

Nutrition

Case Presentation: Nutritional Management of Chylothorax

Nutritional management is an important part of addressing chylothorax, along with medication and surgical intervention.

Dermatology

The Canine Skin and Ear Bacterial Microbiota

Dermatologic microbiome research is scarce, but the dermal microbiota nonetheless plays an important role in dermatitis diagnoses.

Clinical Pathology

Cytology of Lymph Nodes

A good-quality smear and the ability to distinguish a diagnostic specimen from a nondiagnostic one are critical first steps in sample evaluation.

Radiology/Imaging

Radiographic Features of Pulmonary Hypertension in Dogs and Cats

Radiographic abnormalities may help identify or suggest a primary cause of pulmonary hypertension; however, advanced imaging or additional diagnostic testing is necessary to confirm a diagnosis.

Dentistry

The Use of Antibiotics in Veterinary Dentistry

In the era of increasing antimicrobial resistance, areas of medicine where antibiotics are likely not needed, such as dentistry, should be examined.

Ophthalmology

When Is It Indolent? Diagnosis and Treatment of Indolent Corneal Ulcers

Indolent ulcers are able to be diagnosed and treated in the primary setting; however, it is critical to rule out other underlying causes as misdiagnosis can lead to inappropriate treatments and blindness.

Emergency Medicine/Critical Care

Case Series: Necrotizing Fasciitis in 4 Dogs

Necrotizing fasciitis, or commonly known as the “flesh-eating disease," has a 100% mortality rate if surgical intervention is not rapidly instituted.

Pharmacology
