Data including signalment, clinical signs, physical examination findings and clinicopathologic test results at the time of the diagnosis were collected, and the presence of ammonium urate urolithiasis was recorded.Results: A total of 363 dogs were included. The overall incidence of ammonium urate urolithiasis was 19.3%. Dogs with extrahepatic portosystemic shunts were more likely to have urolithiasis compared to those with intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (32.2% vs. 8.0%). Dogs with urolithiasis were older (median 40 vs. 8 months) and more likely to be neutered males (51.4% vs. 9.8%). Ammonia was significantly lower in dogs with urolithiasis. Dogs with urolithiasis were more likely to have haematuria on dipstick analysis and sediment examination.Clinical significance: Dogs with extrahepatic portosystemic shunts were more likely to have urolithiasis when compared to dogs with intrahepatic portosystemic shunts. Dogs with higher ammonia levels were less likely to have ammonium urate urolithiasis, and older dogs, neutered males, or those with evidence of haematuria had an increased incidence of urolithiasis.","PeriodicalId":17062,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Small Animal Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142978964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They were randomly allocated to either have lidocaine/prilocaine cream applied to their skin 1 hour prior to intravenous catheterisation or a swab saturated with vapocoolant spray applied immediately prior to intravenous catheterisation. The procedure was video-recorded and a single blinded observer reviewed the recordings and assigned reaction scores (0 to 3) at 4 time points (initial restraint, limb handling, swab application and skin puncture).Results: Between October 2020 and March 2022, a total of 101 animals (83 dogs and 18 cats) were enrolled, with 56 patients randomised to receive vapocoolant spray and 45 to receive lidocaine/prilocaine cream. There was no significant difference in the age, sex status, number of cross and pure breeds, and mentation detected between the groups. There was no significant difference in reaction scores between the treatments when comparing all patients at any time point except for a significantly increased swab application reaction score in patients receiving vapocoolant spray. Vapocoolant spray was significantly less effective in reducing adverse reaction to skin puncture than lidocaine/prilocaine cream in the small number of cats evaluated.Clinical significance: When considering all patients together, no single method of anaesthesia appeared superior for improving tolerance of intravenous catheter placement. However, vapocoolant spray may be less effective than lidocaine/prilocaine cream in reducing adverse response to skin puncture during catheterisation in cats.","PeriodicalId":17062,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Small Animal Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142978962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the retrobulbar group a mixture of lidocaine 2% (5.5 mL) and ropivacaine 0.75% (2 mL) was administered at 0.1 mL/kg, via a modified supratemporal technique using a Tuohy needle. No block was performed in the controls. When heart rate or mean arterial pressure increased above 30% of the pre-incisional values, fentanyl (1 mcg/kg iv) was administered. Propofol (1 mg/kg iv) was injected when anaesthesia was deemed too light. After a total of three administrations regardless of the type of drugs (fentanyl/propofol), a constant rate infusion of fentanyl (5 mcg/kg/h iv) was started. Quality of recovery (blindly assessed using a descriptive score scale), postoperative eye rubbing and complications were studied.Results: Eighteen dogs were included. The retrobulbar group (nine) dogs had significantly less risk of receiving fentanyl than controls (nine) (Relative risk: 0.142, 95% CI: 0.021 to 0.936) and a recovery score > 2 (RR: 0.058, 95% CI: 0.003 to 0.887).

The technique aims to enhance periodontal health and stabilize the supporting structures of strategically important adjacent canine teeth, including alveolar bone, rather than relying solely on mandibular incisor extractions with simple closure.Materials and methods: A retrospective records review compiled data from patients with suprabony pockets of 6 mm or greater at the mesial aspect of the mandibular canines treated with the proximal wedge technique (PWT). The PWT utilizes non-displaced gingival flaps combining concepts from the modified Widman flap and distal wedge procedures with selective osteoplasty.Results: Twenty-one mandibular canine sites from 12 patients of various breeds with pocket depths ranging from 6 to 10 mm were treated with the PWT resulting in post-operative mean pocket depths of 1.7 ± 0.1 mm. Approximately 1 year later, the improved depths were unchanged in six of the patients comprising 12 of the 21 sites.Clinical significance: By employing this method, veterinarians can enhance periodontal health and stabilize the supporting structures of strategically important adjacent canine teeth, including alveolar bone, rather than relying solely on mandibular incisor extractions with simple closure. The Proximal Wedge Technique resulted in reliable periodontal success and improved patient outcomes for one year and potentially longer, allowing retention of the mandibular canines and maintaining the integrity of the rostral mandible.","PeriodicalId":17062,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Small Animal Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142971365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of biotic supplementation in treating and preventing gastroenteropathies, and in reducing gastrointestinal signs associated with antibiotics in cats.Materials and methods: A systematic review was conducted by searching four databases for publications before August 2, 2024, following a pre-registered protocol. Eligible publications were trials involving healthy cats or those with gastroenteropathies, supplemented with biotics (and an inactive control), studying outcomes such as faecal consistency, faecal microbiota or vomiting. Risk of bias and quality of reports were assessed. Effects were synthesised by meta-analyses and vote counting based on direction of effect. Certainty of evidence was rated using GRADE approach.Results: Twenty reports were included, presenting unclear or low risk of bias. The evidence did not permit a high-confidence evaluation of the effectiveness of biotics, although five of the seven probiotic trials showed beneficial effects on faecal consistency. Synbiotics presented no clinically relevant effect in reducing antibiotics-associated vomiting, with very low certainty, in a meta-analysis including 32 adult cats. Probiotics significantly reduce the Bacillota/Actinomycetota ratio, with low certainty, in a meta-analysis involving 34 healthy young-adult cats. Following vote counting, probiotics improved immune profile in young cats, and increased butyric acid concentration in healthy cats.Clinical significance: Current data highlight the need for further research, especially focused on at-risk groups and sick cats, before advocating the use of biotic supplementation.","PeriodicalId":17062,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Small Animal Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142971359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
