Reevaluation of the 2-Year Protocol for Treating Canine Lymphosarcoma
Canine lymphosarcomas are common neoplasias which tend to respond very well to chemotherapy. Various treatment protocols are used worldwide, and the 2-year-protocol of the University of Wisconsin is a common one. This interesting study reevaluates the data of nearly 100 dogs...

This retrospective study investigated a population of 96 dogs with newly diagnosed malignant lymphosarcoma that were treated with the commonly used University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-M) chemotherapy protocol.

Pretreatment characteristics were analyzed to determine prognostic factors.

Dogs with higher World Health Organization (WHO) stages (including stage IV) and dogs with hypercalcemia were at significantly higher risk of relapse (P=0.018 and P=0.016, respectively).

Dose reduction, treatment delays, and prior therapy with cortico-steroids were not associated with clinical outcome.
First remission duration of 270 days was similar to historically reported data.

Overall survival time of 218 days was much shorter than historical data.

Reference intervals for blood parameters in Shetland Sheepdogsmembers
Several breeds have physiological peculiarities that induce variations in reference intervals (RIs) compared with the general canine population. Shetland sheepdogs (SSs) are reported to be more predisposed to different diseases (eg, hyperlipidemia, gallbladder mucocele, and hypothyroidism). Consequently, a breedâ€specific approach is more often required. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine whether the RIs of the general canine population could be applied to that of SSs, and to generate breedâ€specific RIs, where appropriate.
