IN THE SPOTLIGHT

THE AQUATIC ANIMAL SPECIALTY CENTER IS THE CATCH OF THE DAY

Most of us received little training in aquatic medicine during veterinary school. So, what are you to do when a sick sea lion shows up in your office? Or, more realistically, when your favorite client decides to build a koi pond?

The Aquatic Animal Medicine Specialty Center is here to help.

Find it through the About Page for the Aquatic Animal Message Board and the Specialty Centers section of the VIN Library.

CLINICAL UPDATES: JOURNALS

The combined use of surgical debulking and diode laser photocoagulation for limbal melanoma treatment: a retrospective study of 21 dogs

Debulking, in addition to diode laser photocoagulation, was technically straightforward to perform, minimally invasive, well tolerated, and highly successful in this case series.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) virus in feathers
Results showed that in ducks, lesions and viral antigen were mainly detected in the epidermis of feathers and follicles, whereas in chickens, they were mostly found in the dermis of these structures. Abundant viral antigen was found in nearly all the feathers examined from chickens.

Identification of mucosa-invading and intravascular bacteria in feline small intestinal lymphoma
The high frequency of invasive bacteria within blood vessels and serosa of cats with large cell lymphoma may account for the sepsis-related complications associated with large cell lymphoma and inform clinical management.

STAYING CONNECTED

VIN Skydivers?

If you're an experienced skydiver, is this something you'd recommend for someone who is prone to motion sickness? Have you ever run across someone getting motion sick while skydiving?

 

And, as a pointless and somewhat purile follow up question, what happens if you barf while skydiving? Do you chase your vomitus or does your vomitus chase you?
