Gestation Length is Associated With Early-Life Limb Deformities in Thoroughbred Foals (2023)
Journal Article
Mouncey, R., Arango-Sabogal, J., de Mestre, A., & Verheyen, K. (2023). Gestation Length is Associated With Early-Life Limb Deformities in Thoroughbred Foals. Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 129, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jevs.2023.104896

Flexural and angular limb deformities (LD) are an important cause of early-life morbidity and mortality/euthanasia in Thoroughbred foals. The majority are congenital in origin but, to date, their precise aetiology is poorly understood. We hypothesize...

Analysis of lower urinary tract signs and bacteriuria in cats with subcutaneous ureteral bypass systems (2023)
Journal Article
Djoneva, L., Lawson, J., Rutherford, L., & Geddes, R. (2023). Analysis of lower urinary tract signs and bacteriuria in cats with subcutaneous ureteral bypass systems. Vet Record Open, 10(2), https://doi.org/10.1002/vro2.69

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...
