Ultrastructural changes in the equine colon after ischaemia and reperfusion
Ultrastructural changes in the epithelium can provide information on early changes in barrier properties, repair and inflammation in equine colon after ischaemia and reperfusion (I/R). This study describes the morphology and ultrastructure of the epithelium in equine large colonic mucosa after I/R, and the response of inflammatory cells to injury.

Herbal Preparation, Libido and Semen Quality in Boars
Herbal preparations become more and more popular. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a preparation from herbal extracts (PHE) on libido and semen quality in breeding artificial insemination boars.

CT of the prostate in apparently healthy dogs
If the prostate is visualised, ultrasonography is the diagnostic method of choice in most practices. A computed tomography (CT) is only rarely performed, and thus the normal prostate size of the dog is not always easy to determine. This article describes the CT features of the prostate gland and determine prostate size using CT in 35 entire male dogs.

Infection of dogs with equine influenza virus
The equine influenza virus (EI virus) was throught to be species-specific for a long time. During the severe EI outbreak in 2007 in Australia, respiratory disease was observed in dogs that were in close proximity to infected horses. Investigations were undertaken to exclude influenza virus infection. The results are surprising!

Urine-containing prostatic cavities in dogs
Cavitary lesions of the prostate are a common problem, especially in non-castrated middle-agend and older dogs. The purpose of this retrospective study from the University of Gießen, Germany, was to determine the proportion of urine-containing prostatic cavitary lesions (“urinary cysts”) in dogs and to describe their clinical management.

Disciplines

4-Methylpyrazole in ethylene glycol intoxication in cats
Intoxication with ethylene glycol are occasionally seen in both dogs and cats, and early intervention because of the acute renal failure is mandatory. This little study describes the clinical experience and therapeutic use of fomepizole (4-methylpyrazole [4-MP]) in 3 cats with naturally occurring ethylene glycol (EG) toxicity.

Transfusion technique and survival of autologous red blood cells in dogs
Blood transfusions are commonly indicated in dogs, including the infusion of autologous erythrocytes. This recently published study compares the effect of 3 differing transfusion techniques on survival of autologous canine RBCs in nine healthy dogs.

Panniculitis in small animals
Panniculitis is uncommonly seen in both dogs and cats. Although a large number of organisms can cause infectious panniculitis, many of these are rarely seen in the UK. A variety of systemic diseases can also cause non-infectious panniculitis. A very informative article!

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!
