The effect of attenuating dietary phosphate restriction on blood ionized calcium concentrations in cats with chronic kidney disease and ionized hypercalcemia (2021)
Journal Article
Rebecca, F., van den Broek, D., Chang, Y., Biourge, V., Elliott, J., & Jepson, R. (2021). The effect of attenuating dietary phosphate restriction on blood ionized calcium concentrations in cats with chronic kidney disease and ionized hypercalcemia. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 35(2), 997-1007. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.16050

Background Hypercalcemia is commonly observed in cats with azotemic chronic kidney disease (CKD). Dietary phosphate restriction is considered standard of care but may contribute to the development of hypercalcemia. The optimal dietary management stra...

The effect of myxomatous mitral valve disease severity on packed cell volume in dogs (2021)
Journal Article
Wilshaw, J., Stein, M., Lotter, N., Elliott, J., & Boswood, A. (2021). The effect of myxomatous mitral valve disease severity on packed cell volume in dogs. Journal of Small Animal Practice, 62(6), 428-436. https://doi.org/10.1111/jsap.13308

Objectives The aim of this study was to examine whether associations between disease severity and packed cell volume exist in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease. Materials and Methods Data were selected from 289 dogs that had been examined at... Read More about The effect of myxomatous mitral valve disease severity on packed cell volume in dogs.

Accuracy of history, physical examination, cardiac biomarkers, and biochemical variables in identifying dogs with stage B2 degenerative mitral valve disease (2021)
Journal Article
Wilshaw, J., Rosenthal, S., Wess, G., Dickson, D., Bevilacqua, L., Dutton, E., …Boswood, A. (2021). Accuracy of history, physical examination, cardiac biomarkers, and biochemical variables in identifying dogs with stage B2 degenerative mitral valve disease. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 35(2), 755-770. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.16083

Background Treatment is indicated in dogs with preclinical degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD) and cardiomegaly (stage B2). This is best diagnosed using echocardiography; however, relying upon this limits access to accurate diagnosis. Objectives...

Renal Senescence, Telomere Shortening and Nitrosative Stress in Feline Chronic Kidney Disease (2021)
Journal Article
Quimby, J., Erickson, A., Mcleland, S., Cianciolo, R., Maranon, D., Lunn, K., …Bailey, S. (2021). Renal Senescence, Telomere Shortening and Nitrosative Stress in Feline Chronic Kidney Disease. Veterinary Sciences, 8(12), https://doi.org/10.3390/vetsci8120314

Kidney tissues from cats with naturally occurring chronic kidney disease (CKD) and adult and senior cats without CKD were assessed to determine whether telomere shortening and nitrosative stress are associated with senescence in feline CKD. The histo... Read More about Renal Senescence, Telomere Shortening and Nitrosative Stress in Feline Chronic Kidney Disease.

Clinical progression of cats with early-stage chronic kidney disease fed diets with varying protein and phosphorus contents and calcium to phosphorus ratios (2021)
Journal Article
Schauf, S., Coltherd, J., Atwal, J., Gilham, M., Carvell-Miller, L., Renfrew, H., …Bakke, A. (2021). Clinical progression of cats with early-stage chronic kidney disease fed diets with varying protein and phosphorus contents and calcium to phosphorus ratios. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.16263

Background Dietary protein and phosphorus (P) restriction is the mainstay for nutritional management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, adequate restriction levels for cats with early CKD remain unclear. Objectives To investigate responses in...

Predictors of laminitis development in a cohort of non-laminitic ponies (2021)
Journal Article
Knowles, E., Elliott, J., Harris, P., Chang, R., & Menzies-Gow, N. (2021). Predictors of laminitis development in a cohort of non-laminitic ponies. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.31_13492

Background: Quantifying the risk of laminitis development requires improvement. Objectives: To identify the most useful physical examination, metabolic and management factors to predict future laminitis development in client-owned, non-laminitic pon...

The use of ondansetron for the treatment of nausea in dogs with vestibular syndrome (2021)
Journal Article
Foth, S., Meller, S., Kenward, H., Elliott, J., Pelligand, L., & Volk, H. (2021). The use of ondansetron for the treatment of nausea in dogs with vestibular syndrome. BMC Veterinary Research, 17(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-021-02931-9

Background Vestibular syndrome is often accompanied by nausea. Drugs currently approved for its treatment have been developed to stop vomiting but not nausea. The efficacy of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists to reduce nausea has been described for chemothe... Read More about The use of ondansetron for the treatment of nausea in dogs with vestibular syndrome.

Changes in retinal vascular diameters in senior and geriatric cats in association with variation in systemic blood pressure (2021)
Journal Article
Enache, A., Dietrich, U., Drury, O., Trucco, E., MacGillivray, T., Syme, H., …Chang, Y. (2021). Changes in retinal vascular diameters in senior and geriatric cats in association with variation in systemic blood pressure. Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery,

Objectives Early diagnosis of arterial hypertension is essential to prevent target organ damage. In humans, retinal arteriolar narrowing predicts hypertension. This blinded prospective observational study investigated the retinal vessel diameters amo...
