Abstract Objective To determine the effects of drugs with potential prokinetic effect through different mechanisms action (metoclopramide, cisapride, pyridostigmine, and capromorelin) on food consumption, fecal production, water intake, urine output in rabbits. Methods In a randomized, blinded, complete crossover control trial, 10 healthy New Zealand white rabbits ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ) received 5 treatments over period weeks between May August 2019. Fecal production (weight number...
An overall median survival time (MST) and prognostic factors in rabbits with thymomas treated megavoltage radiation therapy (RT) were determined this multi-institutional retrospective case analysis. Medical records for 19 suspected or confirmed RT evaluated data including signalment, haematological serum biochemistry abnormalities, presence of pleural effusion, plan, body weight, total dose institution administering RT. Statistical significance these related to was assessed. MST all 313...
Pimobendan is a phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor and calcium sensitizer with inotropic, lusitropic, rasodilator properties used in the treatment of congestive heart failure. The mechanism action by inhibition PDE III V increasing intracellular sensitivity cardiac myocardium. Pharmacokinetic pharmacodynamic studies have been published humans, dogs, cats, but there are no avian species. has birds at empirical dosage 0.25 mg/kg q12h. To determine pharmacokinetic parameters pimobendan...
Cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) are commonly diagnosed with ovarian neoplasia. However, there is very little information regarding medical management of this disease condition and subsequent patient response. Long-term therapy 2 cockatiels eventually neoplasia described along responses to the treatment regimens. Each bird had initial signs consistent reproductive (chronic egg laying, ascites, lethargy) respiratory distress. The diagnosis adenocarcinoma was confirmed on postmortem...
Abstract Chrysosporium ‐related infections have been increasingly reported in reptiles over the last 2 decades. In this report, we describe clinical, cytologic, histopathologic, and ultrastructural aspects of infection Inland Bearded Dragons ( Pogona vitticeps ). Case 1 was presented for an enlarging raised lesion left eye multiple additional masses dorsum. submitted to necropsy by referring veterinarian suspected yellow fungus disease. Impression smears nodules case revealed granulomatous...
Abstract An approximately 8‐year‐old male castrated Dutch rabbit was evaluated for a 6‐day history of respiratory signs, which began as sneezing and progressed to tachypnea with anorexia. On physical examination, pale mucous membranes were noted. Thoracic radiographs revealed soft tissue pulmonary mass, fine‐needle aspirates confirmed neoplasia malignant features suspicious histiocytic sarcoma. The discharged due rapidly deteriorating condition, the owner declined chemotherapy Lomustine...
CASE DESCRIPTION An adult sexually intact female Harris hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus) housed at a wildlife hospital was evaluated because of acute collapse during an educational exhibition. CLINICAL FINDINGS Physical examination and hematologic analysis revealed no abnormalities; radiography findings consistent with previous tibiotarsal fracture. Coelioscopy histologic fungal culture lung air sac samples anthracosis but infection. The discharged temporarily removed from the education program;...
An adult male barred owl (Strix varia) was found unable to fly on a pasture during the day. On presentation, several lacerations were noted left wing. The animal anesthetized for radiographic examination, which revealed mild swelling and irregularity of soft tissues Over plane syrinx great vessels, ill-defined tissue opacity present. anesthetic recovery unsuccessful, patient died. gross necropsy, 1 cm in diameter, round, soft, red-tan nodule, with scattered light tan white foci noticed...
Kidney disease is common among captive cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus). Serum creatinine the most measurement to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) because of ease its clinical use, but it a crude that only increases after significant already present and affected by extrarenal factors. Symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) renal biomarker in humans, dogs, cats correlates with serum GFR appears be an earlier more specific for kidney disease. Ninety-two banked samples from 11 housed at Oklahoma...
Atherosclerotic diseases are common in pet psittacine birds, particular Amazon parrots. While hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia have not definitely been associated with increased susceptibility to atherosclerosis parrots, these important well-known risk factors humans. Therefore statin drugs such as rosuvastatin constitute the mainstay of human treatment prevention atherosclerosis. No pharmacologic studies performed birds despite high prevalence captivity. Thirteen Hispaniolan parrots...
A 2.5-year-old intact male miniature lop rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) was presented with multiple nodules surrounding the eyes, nose, mouth, and prepuce. Cytological evaluation of periocular revealed presence intracellular (within macrophages) extracellular yeast organisms. The organisms were approximately 3-5 µm in diameter, round to oval, a thin clear capsule, contained an eccentrically placed basophilic crescent-shaped nucleus. clinical pathological interpretation granulomatous...
To describe the ophthalmic biomicroscopy findings and intraocular pressures (IOP) in a captive population of box turtles to determine whether relationship exists between body morphometrics or health status IOP.Hundred three (69 Gulf coast, 24 three-toed, one ornate, eastern, eight unidentified) were triaged into different color-coded groups: green (healthy), yellow (abnormal physical examination with no need for immediate care), red (immediate care required). Both eyes evaluated by rebound...
