Demographics, preoperative diagnostic findings, advanced imaging findings, surgical times, histopathology and culture results, as well as postoperative outcomes, were recorded.Results: Following routine dissection of the bulla, fluoroscopic imaging was used to confirm the placement of a Steinmann pin before bulla penetration. The median surgical time was 152 minutes (range: 80-210 minutes). All dogs survived to discharge. Six out of eight dogs retained an ipsilateral head tilt postoperatively. Two dogs exhibited residual vestibular ataxia at 14 days postoperatively, which improved and resolved 7 months and 2 years postoperatively respectively. One dog developed recurring otitis media, and a total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy were recommended.Clinical significance: Intraoperative fluoroscopy can be used successfully to guide the identification of the bulla in ventral bulla osteotomies in brachycephalic breeds.","PeriodicalId":23565,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Record Open","volume":"12 1","pages":"e70008"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11982915/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144050129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cattle were given four intramuscular doses (D0, D21, D204 and D570) of 2 mL of vaccine (vaccinated) or phosphate-buffered saline (control). In the first trial, 20 young calves were randomly distributed into the vaccinated or control group. Blood samples were collected to assess BVDV antibodies by ELISA and neutralisation. In the second trial, heifers and cows from three farms were assigned to the vaccinated and control groups. Individual blood samples, bulk tank milk (BTM) and individual milk samples were obtained. The antibody response against BVDV was analysed using different ELISA kits. Neutralising antibodies against different BVDV isolates from Europe and North and South America were also assessed in this trial.Results: Compared with the control group, the vaccine induced significantly (p < 0.05) higher levels of antibodies against BVDV-1 and BVDV-2 from 21 days after the second dose until the end of the study. In the second trial, high levels of total antibodies against BVDV were observed, with no induction of anti-p80 antibodies observed in vaccinated animals or in individual samples (milk and sera) or BTM samples.

A competent and skilled management workforce, along with enhanced organisational structures and procedures, is essential to effectively address the challenges that veterinary organisations face today and in the future.Methods: The pilot study adapted the Management Competency Assessment Partnership (MCAP) tool to collect data from 35 mid-level and senior managers working in five veterinary organisations in Australia via an online survey to understand their competency development needs and the obstacles that they were facing in the management roles. Univariate analyses, Pearson correlations, Kaiser‒Meyer‒Olkin test and Bartlett's test of sphericity were performed.Results: This study confirmed that the MCAP tool maintained good internal consistency and identified competency gaps that managers in the five veterinary organisations should consider addressing. The study confirmed the positive correlation between informal management-related training and self-study on management issues and self-perceived management competency level. The results supported the need for veterinary organisations to provide management training to foster a culture of continuous improvement and life-long learning among veterinary managers.Conclusions: This study highlighted the core elements essential for the building management capacity of veterinary care services and organisations. It also validated the value of management competency self-assessment in identifying the development needs of managers, demonstrating how the management development framework adapted from the human healthcare sector can guide the development of a competent management workforce for veterinary care.","PeriodicalId":23565,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Record Open","volume":"12 1","pages":"e70007"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11814534/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143411099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Practical challenges in clinic may impact their uptake, which could affect drug efficacy and the success of treatment. The UK is presumed to provide high standards for animal care and welfare in the veterinary profession and may provide an interesting case study to assess veterinary drug storage practices.Methods: An online survey with 184 practice participants assessed UK veterinary professionals' responses on drug storage practices. This included socio-demographic information and questions or statements that examined storage practices compliant with the requirements established by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), the regulatory body for veterinary practice in the UK.Results: Overall, practices followed RCVS-recommended measures, though there was clear selectivity for stock temperature checks (72.2%), over other measures, particularly, replacing stock (54.4%) and returning medications to refrigerated storage (52.5%). Clinical experience and practice type impacted most on drug storage practices, with more experienced clinicians and small animal practices showing greater uptake of best measures.Conclusions: We suggest that practices should adopt all of the RCVS measures in relation to veterinary drug storage practices. Socio-demographic factors should be considered because they can act as risk factors influencing best practice in clinics. Our findings may have wider implications for the veterinary profession in general, given similar demographic trends in veterinary practice in many European countries.","PeriodicalId":23565,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Record Open","volume":"12 1","pages":"e270005"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11783155/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143081195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A pilot project was undertaken to engage farmers, confirm cases with diagnostic methods and identify specific barriers to control, with the aim of informing future control programmes.Methods: Through farmers self-reporting suspected outbreaks, on-farm risk assessments and clinical investigations were carried out by the farm's veterinary surgeon, who utilised light microscopy and serological testing to diagnose scab. Treatment was then provided and where macrocyclic lactones (MLs) were utilised, follow-up testing was attempted.Results: Sheep scab was identified in 60 flocks across all six counties of Northern Ireland. Serological testing proved essential in uncovering scab infestation where light microscopy failed to identify mites, or where no suitable lesions existed to scrape. Where MLs were used, follow-up was incomplete. Furthermore, four of six resampled flocks still showed a positive result. Barriers to better scab control included poor quarantine arrangements and preventative treatment strategies that ultimately proved ineffective.Conclusions: The project demonstrated that farmers were willing to engage in control efforts, they appreciated the support provided in managing outbreaks and they recognised the need for a coordinated effort to control scab. Greater awareness of biosecurity is needed among farmers. Facilitation of farmer-driven scab control activities is urgently needed, alongside greater understanding of the scale of the disease and the impact that ML treatment failure can have on scab dissemination through the national Northern Ireland flock.","PeriodicalId":23565,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Record Open","volume":"11 2","pages":"e70003"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11666421/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142886163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Potential risk factors include pathogens introduced through animals entering the shelter. We aimed to determine the proportion of animals shedding feline upper respiratory tract (URT) pathogens at the time of entry and to assess how this contributed to the burden of clinical disease and final outcomes.Methods: Oropharyngeal and conjunctival swabs were collected from incoming cats over 11 months and tested using real-time PCR. The prevalence and distribution of pathogens were reported; causal associations with clinical disease and shelter outcomes were assessed using Bayesian generalised regression models.Results: On admission, 43% (n = 86) cats were shedding one or more pathogens (feline herpes virus, feline calici virus, Mycoplasma felis, Chlamydia felis and Bordetella bronchiseptica). Shedding was somewhat associated with subsequent clinical disease but not with risk of euthanasia. Animals placed into foster care were less likely (odds ratio [OR] 0.27, Bayesian credible interval [CI] 0.09‒0.78) and those enrolled into behavioural rehabilitation programmes were more likely to develop disease (OR 5, CI 2.4‒11).

The industry strategy currently endorses investment in stallion covering fee; however, to date, a comprehensive evaluation of sales price determinants in the UK setting is lacking and could better inform economic decision making to improve profitability.Methods: Sales catalogue and Weatherbys' stud book data from all Thoroughbred yearlings sold at the 2020 Tattersalls October yearling sale in the UK were used to build a hedonic sales price model. Explanatory variables representing sire, dam, yearling and sales attributes were evaluated. The final model's accuracy was assessed using out-of-sample data from all yearlings sold in the equivalent 2021 sale.Results: In 2020, a total of 1506 catalogued yearlings, representing around 30% of the UK Thoroughbred foal crop, were sold, with a median price of £42,575 (interquartile range 15,750‒105,000; range 840‒3,570,000). The sires' covering fee, maternal siblings' race performance attributes, whether the yearling was the dams' first foal, consignment size, catalogue book and day of sale within book significantly influenced auction price; however, relationships were complex with significant interaction and confounding observed. The mean model forecasting error was £2074.
