ObjectivesDistinguishing bacterial cystitis from subclinical bacteriuria is necessary for feline treatment protocols and antimicrobial stewardship. This can be challenging in cats with subcutaneous ureteral bypass (SUB) systems because they may prese...

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).
