A 2 year intact, phenotypically female Labrador Retriever dog was presented for evaluation of persistent white vaginal discharge after a perceived normal estrous cycle. On repeat evaluations, the determined to be in cytologic estrus ~ months. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed suspected bilateral ovarian cysts and cystic endometrial hyperplasia. After ultrasound-guided aspiration, treated with 3 day course gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Four months initial treatment, developed...
A 21-day experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of wheat particle size, insoluble fibre source and whole (WW) inclusion on gizzard musculature, intestinal architecture nutrient utilisation broiler chickens. The following seven treatments, all in mash form, were tested: control diet using finely ground (Fine); medium-ground (Medium); coarsely (Coarse); fine diluted with 10 g/kg lignocellulose (LC); 30 oat hulls (OH); wood shavings (WS); replaced 50 100 WW during second (day 8-14)...

Recently, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in Sphynx cats has been associated with a variant the gene encoding Alström syndrome protein 1 (ALMS1). The primary aims of this study were to describe prevalence HCM New Zealand, and assess association between ALMS1 population. In prospective study, 55 apparently healthy from registered breeders pet owners Zealand screened by cardiologist. A total 42 these had repeat cardiac examination after median 1.8 years (range: 1.6–2.2). frequency was 70.9%...
Abstract Background The proportion of cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) that lose systolic anterior motion the mitral valve (SAM) in long term is unknown. Hypothesis/Objectives Cats HCM will SAM term. Loss be associated greater age, longer scan‐interval, and altered left ventricular (LV) dimensions. Animals Sixty unsedated HCM, not receiving beta blockers or pimobendan. Methods A retrospective cohort study from 2 referral centers. were eligible if they had been diagnosed a repeat...
To evaluate the prevalence of subclinical cardiomyopathy and cardiac mortality in a research colony non-purebred cats, established as model wider cat population New Zealand.
