Background Cats presenting with upper urinary tract uroliths (UUTUs) and ureteral obstruction (“obstructive UUTU”) are typically younger than cats with idiopathic CKD that often have incidental nephroliths. Hypothesis Cats with upper urinary tra... Read More about Risk factors for upper urinary tract uroliths and ureteral obstruction in cats under referral veterinary care in the United Kingdom.

Ionized hypercalcemia in 238 cats from a referral hospital population (2009‐2019) (2023)
Journal Article
Broughton, S. E., O'Neill, D. G., Syme, H. M., & Geddes, R. F. (in press). Ionized hypercalcemia in 238 cats from a referral hospital population (2009‐2019). Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.16627

Background Ionized calcium concentration ([iCa]) is more sensitive for detecting calcium disturbances than serum total calcium concentration but literature on ionized hypercalcemia in cats is limited. Urolithiasis is a possible adverse consequence o... Read More about Ionized hypercalcemia in 238 cats from a referral hospital population (2009‐2019).

Applying clinical audit for quality improvement in canine dystocia cases seen at a UK primary-care emergency practice (2023)
Journal Article
O'Neill, D., Leicester, L., Reid, A., Marshall, R., & Gilbert, S. (2023). Applying clinical audit for quality improvement in canine dystocia cases seen at a UK primary-care emergency practice. Veterinary Record, https://doi.org/10.1002/vetr.2485

Background: The paucity of published veterinary clinical audits suggests that clinical audit is an under-used tool for quality improvement (QI) in the veterinary profession. Therefore, a continuous QI process was designed and implemented at a UK m...

Ironing out the wrinkles and folds in the epidemiology of skin fold dermatitis in dog breeds in the UK (2022)
Journal Article
O'Neill, D., Rowe, D., Brodbelt, D., Pegram, C., & Hendricks, A. (2022). Ironing out the wrinkles and folds in the epidemiology of skin fold dermatitis in dog breeds in the UK. Scientific Reports, 12(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-14483-5

Skin fold dermatitis (intertrigo) is an inflammatory process of closely apposing skin surfaces. Extreme conformations towards folded skin in many dog breeds are linked with higher risk. Using anonymised primary-care veterinary data from the VetCompas... Read More about Ironing out the wrinkles and folds in the epidemiology of skin fold dermatitis in dog breeds in the UK.
