The cause was an increase number of children seen, rather than increased readmission. initial associated with introduction nebulised salbutamol 1976. concerned were mainly 5 years old. Three later came a larger influx younger children. Circumstances leading examined prospective study one period. There 605 admissions, 437 (72%) self referrals. commonest...
Acute leukemia is rare in horses. Herein we describe historical, clinicopathologic, and postmortem findings 6 horses with acute leukemia. Medical records of >20% bone marrow blasts cytochemical or immunophenotyping results were reviewed. Affected 2–8 y age different breeds sex. Horses presented acutely nonspecific signs (e.g., fever, lethargy). Characteristic hemogram bi- pancytopenia low blast numbers. Histologic examination revealed extramedullary infiltrates, especially lymph nodes,...

Abstract Pharmacokinetic (PK) studies of oral firocoxib in large animal species have been limited to horses, preruminating calves, and adult camels. The aim this study was describe pharmacokinetics bioavailability goats. Ten healthy goats were administered 0.5 mg/kg intravenously (i.v.) per os (p.o.) a randomized, crossover study. Plasma concentrations measured over 96‐hr period for each treatment using HPLC mass spectrometry, PK analysis performed. p.o. formulation reached mean peak plasma...
Dairy goat kids are commonly disbudded in the United States without pain relief. Our objective was to identify an efficient management strategy by monitoring changes plasma biomarkers and behavior of kids. A total 42 (5-18 d old at time disbudding) were randomly allocated 1 7 treatments (n = 6/treatment): sham treatment; 0.05 mg/kg i.m. xylazine (X); 4 subcutaneous buffered lidocaine (L); oral meloxicam (M); (XL); (XM); xylazine, meloxicam, together (XML). Treatments administered 20 min...
Abstract Objective To describe the treatment of goats with urethral obstruction secondary to urolithiasis by combining tube cystostomy and urethrotomy. Animals Eight male goats.

Data collected included signalment, history, physical examination findings, diagnostic results, perioperative treatments, operative details, hospitalization duration, intraoperative...
Abstract Case Description —A 7-year-old mixed-breed stallion was admitted because of colic. Clinical Findings —Entrapment the left colon in renosplenic space diagnosed via rectal palpation and ultrasonographic examination, despite a ablation 6.5 years earlier. Treatment Outcome —The entrapment corrected with combination phenylephrine administration, rolling, ballottement horse's abdomen during general anesthesia. The following week, flank laparoscopic performed horse standing. On examination...
Horses and other equids are reliant on the gut microbiome for health, studies have reported associations between certain clinical conditions features of fecal microbiome. However, research to date equine has often relied small sample sizes collected from single relatively localized geographic regions. Previous work largely employs timepoint analyses, or horses selected based limited health criteria. To address these issues expand our understanding core in changes associated with adverse...
Disbudding of goat kids is a common husbandry procedure in the dairy industry, typically carried out first week life via hot cautery iron without application pain relief. The objective this study was to identify practical, efficacious management strategy for disbudding by monitoring acute changes behavior and plasma biomarkers disbudded with varying combinations
