Abstract An 8‐year‐old, female spayed Domestic Shorthair cat was presented to the Auburn University Emergency and Critical Care service for evaluation of pleural effusion a suspected intrathoracic mass. Computed tomography performed which confirmed presence large mass, likely heart‐based. Fine‐needle aspirates were obtained cytologic diagnosis neuroendocrine tumor made. Treatment with toceranib phosphate briefly attempted at home by owners. The died approximately 6 weeks after diagnosis....

Objective: This study describes the pharmacokinetics of parent pimobendan (PIM) and its active metabolite, o-desmethyl-pimobendan (ODMP), after oral rectal administration to healthy dogs. Animals: A total eight privately owned dogs were used in this study. Procedures: The received a single dose (0.5 mg/kg) commercially available tablet per os (PO). Twelve blood samples collected over 12-h period for pharmacokinetic analysis. After 24-h washout period, same solution rectum (PR), obtained at...

Abstract Objective To assess the accuracy and usability of cervical ultrasound as a means to confirm endotracheal (ET) intubation in dogs. Design Randomized pilot study. Setting University teaching hospital. Animals Six recently euthanized cadaver Interventions Endotracheal esophageal intubations were randomly performed. The investigators performing examinations blinded type intubation. Ultrasound performed right left lateral recumbency. time taken obtain images was recorded. Measurements...
