BackgroundIdentification of nephrocalcinosis in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is of clinical interest but the ability of ultrasonography to detect nephrocalcinosis is uncertain.ObjectivesTo compare ultrasonography, micro-computed tomography...

Risk factors associated with disturbances of calcium homeostasis after initiation of a phosphate-restricted diet in cats with chronic kidney disease (2020)
Journal Article
Jepson, R., Elliott, J., Geddes, R., Chang, Y., & Tang, P. (2020). Risk factors associated with disturbances of calcium homeostasis after initiation of a phosphate-restricted diet in cats with chronic kidney disease. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.15996

Background Dietary phosphate restriction improves survival in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, feeding a phosphate‐restricted diet may disrupt calcium homeostasis leading to hypercalcemia in some cats. Objectives To identify...

Efficacy of a Topical Formulation Containing Emodepside and Praziquantel (Profender®, Bayer) against Nematodes in Captive Tortoises (2017)
Journal Article
Tang, P. K., Pellett, S., Blake, D. P., & Hedley, J. (2017). Efficacy of a Topical Formulation Containing Emodepside and Praziquantel (Profender®, Bayer) against Nematodes in Captive Tortoises. https://doi.org/10.5818/17-04-107.1

Gastrointestinal parasites are commonly diagnosed in captive tortoises. In response, fenbendazole has traditionally been used as an anthelmintic, either in single or repeated doses. However, fenbendazole requires oral administration and the process c...
