Abstract Objective To document clinical complications and intervention options associated with norepinephrine (NE) extravasation in dogs cats. Design Cases were identified between 2015 2021. Because this is an uncommon complication, the findings are compiled as a descriptive retrospective study. Setting provided from 4 universities 2 private practice groups United States, Canada, Australia. Animals Fourteen patients (13 dogs, 1 cat) that experienced events (16 total). Interventions Small...
Objective To describe the use of disposable skin staples for intestinal resection and anastomosis in dogs report associated dehiscence mortality rates. Methods Retrospective evaluation medical records that underwent using between 2000 2014. Data regarding patient signalment, indication surgery, location anastomosis, number procedures performed, evidence peritonitis at time surgeon qualifications, dehiscence, were obtained from records. Mortality was defined as failure to survive beyond 10...
Abstract Objective To describe a clinical case of transient central diabetes insipidus (CDI) occurring post cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) in dog. Case Summary An 8‐week‐old dog presented for intensive care after successful resuscitation following CPA. The patient exhibited neurologic deficits at initial presentation and over the days developed marked polyuria, isosthenuria, low urine osmolality. Treatment with synthetic vasopressin resulted reduction output, increase specific gravity...
Let's start with the bad news: medical errors occur frequently in veterinary medicine. It's impossible to know precisely how often because current reporting methods are voluntary, and underreporting is common. One study found approximately 5 per 1000 patient visits emergency referral hospitals.1 In human healthcare, only 3%–6% of all identified through voluntary systems.2, 3 If systems similarly subject underreporting, that means as many 1 10 patients specialty practices today may be...
After ingesting a dose of baclofen thought to be lethal, patient with severe neurologic signs was successfully managed despite initially being refractory treatment. Patients persistent abnormalities may still have an excellent prognosis lack initial response. Additionally, we present potential case benzodiazepine withdrawal.
Abstract Objective: To report a complex presentation of an acquired and hereditary coagulopathy in dog. Case summary: A 5‐year‐old spayed female Beagle presented for lethargy, anorexia, cough, stiff gait, was diagnosed with spontaneous hemothorax. The patient recovered from this bleeding episode suspected to be secondary anticoagulant rodenticide intoxication, but subsequently factor VII (FVII) deficiency, coagulopathy. Diagnostic approach management FVII deficiency is described. New or...
Abstract Objective To evaluate criteria used for diagnosis of ventilator‐associated pneumonia (VAP) in dogs and to determine whether appropriate empiric antimicrobial therapy affects outcome. Design Retrospective observational study from 2012 2016. Setting Private small animal emergency specialty center. Animals Thirteen client‐owned requiring positive‐pressure ventilation over 48 hours. Measurements main results Medical records mechanical (MV) were reviewed. Dogs receiving MV hours that had...
