Helpful Tips for Abdominal Radiography
Abdominal image 2
Vomiting is one of the most common presenting complaints at emergency
hospitals, and abdominal radiography is commonly performed to
determine if surgery is warrented. Along with blood work and the
physical exam, abdominal radiography is an invaluable asset in
diagnosing a variety of abdominal diseases ranging from mechanical
obstruction from foreign bodies to cystic calculi causing hematuria.
Ruth Van Hatten, DVM, DACVR shares a few helpful tips to assist in
interpreting abdominal radiographs.

Anesthesia and Analgesia for the Cesarean Section
Bulldog
In considering an anesthetic protocol for both emergent and elective
cesarean section (C-section), it's important to first understand
maternal physiologic changes associated with pregnancy and fetal
physiology considerations. Major body systems affected by pregnancy
include the cardiovascular (CV), respiratory, gastrointestinal, and
renal systems - all of which are equally important to consider
during any anesthetic event. Kate Cummings, DVM, DACVAA provides a
brief summary of how these systems are impacted and provides elective
and emergent C-section protocol suggestions in dogs and cats.

Considerations to Effectively Manage Drug Interactions
As our patients are given increasing numbers of medications, the risk
for potential drug interactions rises. Caty Sumner, DVM, DACVECC
provides considerations to safeguard your patients when evaluating
drug absorption, pharmacodynamic interactions, pharmacokinetic
interactions, physical incompatibility, and protein binding.

BNP Testing in Cats
cat
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is cleaved into the bioactive
C-terminal fragment and the nonbioactive NTproBNP fragment.
NTproBNP has been investigated in feline patients both as a potential
tool to diagnose cardiac causes of dyspnea, and as a possible
screening tool for occult heart disease. Using biomarker
information in cats is particularly attractive, as getting a blood
sample can be easier and less stressful than other testing, but
clinicians need to be aware of what these test results can and
can't tell us in order to interpret results accordingly.

Underlying Gastrointestinal Disease May Manifest as Neurologic Signs
in Canine Patients
Stereotypic behaviors such as fly biting, stargazing, and excessive
licking of surfaces are not uncommon presenting complaints for
patients being evaluated through the Neurology Service. Many times
patients exhibiting these behaviors are referred to a neurologist due
to the concern for seizure activity or to a behaviorist due to the
concern for obsessive compulsive disorders. However, underlying
primary gastrointestinal (GI) disease should not be overlooked as a
potential cause for these behaviors.
