The objective of the study is to describe a surgical technique of intestinal foreign body retrieval without gastrotomy using an endoscopic grasper and digital manipulation, and to compare short-term outcomes with patients who had similar obstructive intestinal foreign bodies removed via gastrotomy.

To evaluate the perioperative efficacy of a modified supratemporal retrobulbar block in dogs undergoing ocular surgery.

This study aims to evaluate the ability of a periodontal resective procedure (the Proximal Wedge Technique) to improve the long-term health of the mandibular canines by reducing probing depths immediately post-surgery via targeted tissue recontouring and precise debridement. The technique aims to enhance periodontal health and stabilize the supporting structures of strategically important adjacent canine teeth, including alveolar bone, rather than relying solely on mandibular incisor extractions with simple closure.

The clinical efficacy of the use of probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics and postbiotics (biotics) in cats is unknown, despite their use in daily practice. The objectives of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of biotic supplementation in treating and preventing gastroenteropathies, and in reducing gastrointestinal signs associated with antibiotics in cats.

A 9-year-old, presumed male castrated mixed breed dog was evaluated for lethargy, hyporexia, polyuria, polydipsia and diffuse gynaecomastia. Bloodwork revealed severe hypercalcaemia and hyposthenuria. CT scan showed a caudal abdominal mass consistent with a Sertoli cell tumour on cytology. Diffuse, nodular mammary gland enlargement was consistent with mammary gland hyperplasia on cytology. A malignancy panel was inconsistent with hyperparathyroidism and showed a normal PTHrP. Abdominal exploratory laparotomy, abdominal mass resections and right chain mammectomy were performed. Sertoli cell tumour and mammary gland hyperplasia were confirmed via histopathology. Hypercalcaemia decreased to within normal range and gynaecomastia in the left mammary chain resolved postoperatively. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case report of hypercalcaemia associated with Sertoli cell tumour in a dog. While several mechanisms have been proposed for hypercalcaemia of malignancy, the mechanism is unclear in this case.

The aim of this prospective study was to assess the association between methylene blue staining pattern and the presence of histologic nodal metastasis in dogs with low-grade mast cell tumour in low-resource settings for the efficient diagnosis of lymphatic spread.

To assess the incidence and clinical findings associated with the presence of ammonium urate urolithiasis in dogs with congenital portosystemic shunts.

To determine if tolerance of intravenous catheterisation differs following the application of vapocoolant spray compared to lidocaine/prilocaine cream in dogs and cats.

To report the compartmental location of feline aural inflammatory polyps within the tympanic bulla.

To describe the clinical presentation and clinicopathological findings of dogs with nodular splenic lesions composed of heterogeneous cell components associated with systemic inflammation and to provide information on the outcome after surgical resection.

Primary uterine lymphoma is an extremely rare disease. An 11-year-old spayed female domestic short-haired cat presented with a 3-month history of mucopurulent vaginal discharge, lethargy, acute vomiting and constipation. Physical examination revealed vulvar swelling, purulent discharge and a mass in the mid-caudal abdomen. A CT scan identified a large uterine mass, displacing the colon dorsally and the urethra ventrally. A hysterectomy was performed. Histology and immunohistochemistry confirmed a T-cell uterine transmural medium to large cell lymphoma. One-month post-surgery, an abdominal ultrasound showed thickening of the jejunal loops, enlarged lymph nodes and nodular peritoneal lesions at the surgical site. Cytology raised suspicion of large granular lymphocyte lymphoma, confirmed by anti-Granzyme B immunohistochemistry on the uterine tissue specimen. The final diagnosis was primary uterine large granular lymphocyte lymphoma, marking the first reported case in small animal oncology.

To report the clinical presentation, treatment and outcomes of four cats diagnosed with Menrath ulcers causing significant oral haemorrhage.

This conference report summarises the abstracts on canine locomotion research presented in The 9th International Conference on Canine and Equine Locomotion, discusses the most relevant literature in relation to the topics presented in the meeting and highlights the importance of canine locomotion in veterinary medicine.

The objectives of this study were to describe the outcome and prognostic factors in dogs diagnosed with primary and secondary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).

To describe the detection frequency, sonoanatomy and reference values of the duodenal papillae and connected anatomical structures in cats, with reference to gross anatomical and histopathological nomenclature.

The UK dog population is living longer, raising concerns about their welfare as a result of ageing-related diseases. Our primary objective was to determine when dogs enter the "old age" life stage based on free-text clinical narratives in veterinary electronic health records. In addition, to identify common conditions documented during consultations with old dogs.

To describe thoracic and abdominal imaging findings in dogs with immune-mediated polyarthritis and to evaluate their impact on the decision to commence immunosuppressive therapy.

To evaluate the utility of 10% buffered formalin in preserving canine cerebrospinal fluid samples when analysis was delayed.

Construct failure is a rare complication of tibial cranial closing wedge ostectomy for the management of cranial cruciate ligament disease. Construct failure can present significant challenges for reconstruction. This case report describes three dogs with construct failure which were successfully revised by the repurposing of an inverted femoral supracondylar femoral plate as part of the revision. Data were obtained from the medical records and telephone update. The use of an inverted supracondylar plate in the proximal tibia generally had good outcomes for the management of bone implant failure following cranial closing wedge ostectomy and offers a hitherto undescribed technique using a low-cost and accessible implant for repair.
