Description of the use of plasma exchange in dogs with Cutaneous and Renal Glomerular Vasculopathy (2018)
Journal Article
Skulberg, R., Cortellini, S., Chan, D. L., Giacomo, S., & Jepson, R. E. (2018). Description of the use of plasma exchange in dogs with Cutaneous and Renal Glomerular Vasculopathy. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 5(161), https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2018.00161

Cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV) is a rare disease affecting dogs, with a recent apparent increase in prevalence since 2012 in the UK. This disease is characterized by a vasculopathy affecting small vessels of the kidney and skin, l...

Alterations in body lean angle in lame horses before and after diagnostic analgesia in straight lines in hand and on the lunge (2018)
Journal Article
Greve, L., Pfau, T., & Dyson, S. (2018). Alterations in body lean angle in lame horses before and after diagnostic analgesia in straight lines in hand and on the lunge. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2018.07.006

Altered body lean has been subjectively observed during lungeing in lame horses. The objectives were to quantify the influence of lameness on body lean in trot on the lunge and to investigate the influence of improvement in lameness on the difference...

Similar to previous case series, the median age of pugs with LL... Read More about Lung lobe torsion in adult and juvenile pugs.

Metabolic perturbations associated with the consumption of a ketogenic medium-chain TAG diet in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy (2018)
Journal Article

PLoS ONE, 13(7), e0199521. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0199521

Hypoglycin A (HGA) toxicity, following ingestion of material from certain plants, is linked to an acquired multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency known as atypical myopathy, a commonly fatal form of equine rhabdomyolysis seen worldwide. Whilst so... Read More about Detection of equine atypical myopathy-associated hypoglycin A in plant material: Optimisation and validation of a novel LC-MS based method without derivatisation.
