Pilot study to determine the effect of feeding a commercial feedstuff on gastric squamous gastric disease (ESGD) healing and prevention of recurrence. (2024)
Journal Article
Menzies-Gow, N. (in press). Pilot study to determine the effect of feeding a commercial feedstuff on gastric squamous gastric disease (ESGD) healing and prevention of recurrence. Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jevs.2024.105015

Feedstuffs are often recommended to mitigate potential damage from acid associated with equine squamous gastric disease (ESGD). In acidic conditions, pectin alters its structure to one like mucus and binds the stomach mucosa, whilst alfalfa has a str...

BEVA primary care clinical guidelines: Diagnosis and management of equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (2023)
Journal Article
Menzies-Gow, N., Knowles, E., & Hart, N. (in press). BEVA primary care clinical guidelines: Diagnosis and management of equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.14009

Background: Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) is a prevalent, age-related chronic disorder in equids. Diagnosis of PPID can be challenging because of its broad spectrum of clinical presentations and disparate published diagnostic criteria,...

Nitric oxide synthase inhibition reveals differences in the nitric oxide pathway in previously laminitic ponies. (2022)
Journal Article
Finding, E., Elliott, J., Harris, P., & Menzies-Gow, N. (2022). Nitric oxide synthase inhibition reveals differences in the nitric oxide pathway in previously laminitic ponies. Research in Veterinary Science, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rvsc.2022.05.012

Previously laminitic (PL) ponies are reported to have higher blood pressure than non laminitic (NL) ponies. This relative hypertension may be related to endothelial cell dysfunction, similar to humans with metabolic syndrome. To investigate the relat...

Pergolide dosing compliance and factors affecting the laboratory control of equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (2021)
Journal Article
Menzies-Gow, N., Hague, N., & Durham, A. (2021). Pergolide dosing compliance and factors affecting the laboratory control of equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction. Veterinary Record, https://doi.org/10.1002/vetr.142

Background: Equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) is treated with daily pergolide therapy. Owner compliance and its effect on PPID control has not been previously investigated. Methods: Clinical records were searched to identify the sa...

Laminitis in horses
Journal Article
Menzies-Gow, N. J. (in press). Laminitis in horses. Veterinary Record, 183(16), 505-506. https://doi.org/10.1136/inp.k4485

Laminitis is a common and painful condition of adult equids that often results in permanent lameness or euthanasia. In recent years, our knowledge of the condition has developed and this article discusses the current understanding of laminitis and ap... Read More about Laminitis in horses.
