The Canine Behavioral Assessment and Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ) is a 100-item owner-completed survey instrument used for assessing behavior temperament of companion dogs. shortened version the C-BARQ (C-BARQ (S) ) consists 42 items long C-BARQ. We aimed to validate by comparing it with questionnaire in same human-dog pair. examined data from nationwide cohort dogs enrolled large-scale longitudinal Dog Aging Project (DAP) study. Among 435 participating owners who completed both versions...
Geroscience studies of low-dose rapamycin in laboratory species have identified numerous benefits, including reversing age-related cardiac dysfunction. Cardiovascular benefits been observed dogs with 10 weeks treatment, raising questions about possible and adverse effects long-term use rapamycin. The objectives this study were to assess the impact 6 months on echocardiographic indices function healthy document occurrence events.Seventeen client-owned aged 6-10 years, weighing 18-36 kg,...
American canine hepatozoonosis (ACH) represents an important but relatively uncommon differential diagnosis in a dog with fever, muscle wasting, profound leukocytosis, and/or musculoskeletal pain. Despite this, obtaining definitive can prove difficult. Peripheral blood smears and whole-blood polymerase chain reaction (PCR) rely on rare parasitemia, the gold standard diagnostic test (skeletal biopsy) is uncommonly pursued due to its invasive costly nature. Demonstration of characteristic...
Abstract OBJECTIVE To identify the safest, most efficient method for hair sample collection from companion dogs among clippers, scissors, and razors to validate obtained samples with cortisol concentration analysis. ANIMALS 25 healthy, privately owned dogs. METHODS 2 were collected each dog’s ischiatic region different implements (scissors, razors, or clippers). The collecting clinician completed a Hair Collection Questionnaire (HCQ) that compared subjective quality, time of collection,...
Flash glucose monitoring systems (FGMS) are frequently used for interstitial in dogs with diabetes mellitus and typically placed between the scapulae. We aimed to evaluate variability measurements from FGMS 2 locations (between scapulae over hip) non-diabetic during rapidly induced hypoglycemia.24 apparently healthy colony that were subjects a teaching laboratory.Prospective interventional study. sensors (FreeStyle Libre 14-day system) hip of all dogs. Regular insulin was administered (0.3...
Abstract Objective To determine the blood concentration and pharmacokinetic parameters of rapamycin in companion dogs following long-term, low-dose oral administration rapamycin. Animals Four healthy, middle-aged, medium-to-large breed privately owned participated. Procedures All had been receiving at a dose 0.025 mg/kg on Monday, Wednesday, Friday mornings for least one month. An initial sample was collected prior to morning administration, samples were 1, 2, 6, 24 hours after given. Blood...
Abstract A 14‐year‐old male castrated domestic medium‐hair cat with diabetes mellitus was evaluated for vomiting, diarrhea, and anorexia. Two weeks before presentation, the had been diagnosed congestive heart failure started on furosemide. Initial diagnostic testing identified hypokalemia, systemic hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy phenotype, plasma aldosterone concentration moderately increased. Abdominal ultrasound examination disclosed bilateral adrenomegaly a right renal mass,...
Introduction: West Nile virus (WNV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus, causes grave neuroinvasive disease and death, has been reported in over 55,000 people the US since 1999. Patients >55 years those with hypertension are most at risk for WNV-associated mortality. Understanding how correlates WNV morbidity mortality may reduce burden of this disease. Investigation hypertensive is limited to basic epidemiology. Without an animal model, understanding causal relationship between pathology...
Rapamycin is an mTOR inhibitor that has been shown to extend the lifespan of laboratory model organisms. In humans, rapamycin used at higher doses as immunosuppressive medication prevent organ rejection. Numerous adverse effects are seen with treatment in one most common being dysregulation lipid metabolism. this often manifests mild moderate serum elevations, a small subset developing extreme triglyceride elevations. This case report describes eight-year-old, castrated male, clinically...
