Comparison of veterinary drugs and veterinary homeopathy: part 1 (2017)
Journal Article
Lees, P., Chambers, D., Pelligand, L., Toutain, P. L., Whiting, M., & Whitehead, M. L. (2017). Comparison of veterinary drugs and veterinary homeopathy: part 1. Veterinary Record, 181(7), 170-176. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.104278

For many years after its invention around 1796, homeopathy was widely used in people and later in animals. Over the intervening period (1796-2016) pharmacology emerged as a science from Materia Medica (medicinal materials) to become the mainstay of v...

Physiological reactivity to spontaneously occurring seizure activity in dogs with epilepsy and their carers (2017)
Journal Article

Investigation of the association between serum protein concentrations and concurrent chronic kidney disease in hyperthyroid cats (2017)
Journal Article
Williams, T. L., Elliott, J., Syme, H. M., & Archer, J. (2017). Investigation of the association between serum protein concentrations and concurrent chronic kidney disease in hyperthyroid cats. Research in Veterinary Science, 115, 412-417. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rvsc.2017.07.023

Our objective was to identify if changes in serum protein concentrations occur in hyperthyroidism and to assess their association with the development of azotaemia following treatment. Initially non-azotaemic hyperthyroid cats and healthy older ca...
