Abstract Periodontal disease (PD) is the most common clinical condition occurring in adult dogs. The objective of this study was to evaluate benefits daily dental chew administration on oral health outcomes Twelve (mean age = 5.31 ± 1.08 yr; mean BW 13.12 1.39 kg) female beagle dogs were used a replicated 4 × Latin square design consisting 28-d periods. On day 0 each period, teeth cleaned by veterinary dentist blinded treatments. Teeth then scored for plaque, calculus, and gingivitis same 28...
Microbiota plays a prominent role in periodontal disease, but the canine oral microbiota and how dental chews may affect these populations have been poorly studied. We aimed to determine differences of adult dogs consuming compared with control only diet. Twelve female beagle (mean age = 5.31 ± 1.08 yr) were used replicated 4 × Latin square design consisting 28-d periods. Treatments (n 12/group) included: diet (CT); + Bones & Chews Dental Treats (BC; Chewy, Inc., Dania Beach, FL); Dr. Lyon's...
Abstract Background Oral diseases are common in dogs, with microbiota playing a prominent role the disease process. cavity habitats harbor unique populations that have relevance to health and disease. Despite their importance, canine oral microbial been poorly studied. The objectives of this study were (1) characterize different dogs (2) correlate scores bacterial taxa identify what sites may be good options for understanding diseases. We used next-generation sequencing salivary (SAL),...
Abstract Background Hypothermia during the perianaesthetic period may lead to an increased risk of morbidity in veterinary patients. However, timeline decrease body temperature general anaesthesia has been minimally investigated. Methods Anaesthetic records 1097 client‐owned dogs were examined. Change (ΔBT = baseline – time point temperature) was plotted over for all dogs. The slope ΔBT calculated each 15‐minute interval, and magnitude largest at which occurred determined record. Results A...
Abstract OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy of a flash glucose monitoring system (FGMS; FreeStyle Libre 2) in healthy dogs during isoflurane general anesthesia. METHODS 6 purpose-bred Beagle underwent 3 anesthetic events, 1 week apart, randomized crossover study. mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) states were induced under anesthesia (hypotension [MAP, ≤ 60 mm Hg], normotension 80 to 120 and hypertension ≥ Hg]) for 40 minutes. Interstitial was collected from an FGMS (applied dog's neck prior...
Abstract OBJECTIVE To evaluate the repeatability and accuracy of fingertip pulse oximeters (FPO) for measurement hemoglobin oxygen saturation in arterial blood rate (PR) anesthetized dogs breathing 100% O 2 . ANIMALS 29 healthy client-owned undergoing various surgical procedures. PROCEDURES In randomized order, each 7 FPOs or a reference oximeter (PO) was applied to tongue intubated dog Duplicate measurements (Sp o ) PR were obtained within 60 seconds applying an FPO PO. A nonparametric...
Summary Background Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive method for continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) and pulse rate (PR) used in equine anaesthesia. Despite species differences the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve, oximeters validated humans are commonly veterinary medicine. These devices expensive at an increased risk damage when Human fingertip (FPO) may be useful as inexpensive alternative to standard devices. Objectives Evaluate accuracy repeatability FPOs applied tongues...
Abstract Microbiota play a prominent role in canine periodontal disease, but little is known about the oral microbial community of dogs. We aimed to determine differences microbiota dogs consuming dental chews demonstrated improve health outcomes. Twelve adult were used replicated 4x4 Latin square design consisting 28-day periods. Control (CT) consumed diet only, with treatment groups receiving one three (BC, DL and GR). At baseline, teeth cleaned. Teeth scored for plaque, calculus,...
