Incidence of ocular abnormalities in Miniature Horses
Miniature horses have become very popular over the last decades, but unfortunately they show a variety of diseases besides the well known muskuloskeletal problems. In this study, the incidence of ocular abnormalities was evaluated in 53 Miniature Horses and compared with coat and mane/tail color. Very interesting!

Accuracy of radiography in appendicular degenerative joint diseases of cats
Degenerative joint disease (DJD) is not only a problem in dogs but also common in domesticated cats. The purpose of this study was to describe how radiographic findings thought to indicate feline DJD relate to macroscopic cartilage degeneration in appendicular joints. Thirty adult cats euthanized for reasons unrelated to this study were evaluated.

LigaSure™ versus SonoSurg™ system in laparoscopic ovariectomy in dogs
Minimal-invasive surgery has become popular also in small animal medicine, and especially ovariectomy in bitches is one of the most common indications. The objective of this study was to evaluate the surgical times for removal of ovaries, and the frequency of intra-operative complications with two different instruments used for canine laparoscopic ovariectomy. Is one of the systems superior to the other?

Fozivudine Tidoxil in the treatment of FIV-infected cats
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a lentivirus that infects domestic and wild felidae and the course of disease is similar to that of human immunodeficiency virus infection. The thymidine nucleoside analog fozivudine (FZD) tidoxil is a lipid—zidovudine (ZDV) conjugate and member of the family of nucleoside reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors (NRTIs). Can its administration to cats during acute FIV infection produce antiviral activity with fewer adverse effects than its parent compound ZDV (AZT)?

Systemic lidocaine infusion during intraocular surgery in dogs
Ocular surgery requires an excellent analgetic protocol during and after surgery. This interesting randomized, masked, controlled experimental study was performed to determine if systemic administration of lidocaine during intraocular surgery reduces post-operative ocular pain.

Disciplines

Local anesthesia on the limbs
Local anesthesia is commonly used in large animals but it also is used in small animal medicine on a regular base. In this article, the use of local anaesthetic, adjunctive drugs and techniques to provide pain relief for limb trauma including surgery are described and also the common complications of using local anaesthetic techniques including signs of systemic overdose were reiterated.

Successful management of an adder bite in a dog
The lesion was progressing very soon after the young Labrador Retriever was bitten on the hind foot on a walk. Which kind of lesions can be expected, how is the treatment, and how is the prognosis? A very interesting recently published case report!

New porcine microRNAs and their targets
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a newly identified class of non-protein-coding small RNAs which play important roles in multiple biological processes by degrading targeted mRNAs or repressing mRNA translation. This brandnew Japanese study presents an expressed sequence tag (EST)-based combined approach for the detection of novel porcine miRNAs. Fascinating!

Intracranial anaplastic astrocytoma in a puppy (case report)
Intracranial neoplasias in dogs are occasionally seen and are in most cases seen in adult animals. In this dog, chronic-progressive multi-focal neurological signs were seen in a very early age, and an infectious agent seemed to be much more likely. An interesting description of a rare neoplasia!
