The bottom line

Acute post-hypoxic myoclonus can occur in dogs and cats after CPR and carries a grave prognosis.

Initiate immediate cooling with water before veterinary transport to reduce heatstroke morbidity in dogs.

Manual therapeutic plasma exchange may be a viable rescue therapy for refractory PANS following portosystemic shunt attenuation in dogs.

CPMA combined with SOC significantly reduces hospitalization duration and isolation time in shelter dogs with CPV.

Frequent use of structured communication tools is significantly associated with greater team communication openness in specialty veterinary practice.

Catheter fracture during wire-guided pericardiocentesis or thoracocentesis is a rare but serious complication requiring prompt recognition.

Emergent presentation and high-grade laryngeal collapse are the strongest predictors of major postoperative complications in BOAS surgery.

360-degree conjunctival grafts effectively preserve globes and vision in over 80% of severe keratomalacia cases.

Laparoscopic cystorrhaphy is feasible in cattle but requires careful case selection based on rupture location and urolith status.

Monitor ionized calcium closely after sodium bicarbonate administration, as hypocalcemia occurs in approximately one-third of treated animals.

Needleless dispensing pins with 1-way valves do not significantly reduce bacterial contamination of communal-use IV fluid bags.

Including α2-adrenoreceptor agonists and opioids in rabbit anaesthetic protocols significantly reduces multiple peri-anaesthetic adverse events.

Administer frozen plasma products cautiously in critically ill foals, monitoring serum electrolytes closely due to hypernatremic content.

AI models, particularly random forest, show strong prognostic potential for equine colic but require external validation before clinical adoption.

Flow cytometry DAT with a 10% IgG-bound platelet cutoff, combined with demographics, improves canine ITP diagnosis.

Intranasal glucagon effectively and rapidly reverses insulin-induced hypoglycemia in cats with minimal adverse effects.

SAA and hematology-derived inflammatory indices effectively diagnose FPV; PCT lacks diagnostic value.

Early identification of septic shock using lactate, blood pressure, and organ dysfunction scoring improves canine sepsis outcomes.

Sepsis diagnosis in dogs and cats now requires confirmed organ dysfunction, not just SIRS criteria.

Valacyclovir and heparin combination reduces EHM incidence and improves EHV-1 survival.
