CLINICAL UPDATES: JOURNALS

Common Infectious Organisms
One area that is particularly amenable to cytologic diagnosis is infectious disease. Organisms that can be seen and identified include fungal, bacterial, protozoal, parasitic, viral, and algal. Rapid identification of pathogenic organisms allows the practitioner to initiate treatment quickly, giving the patient the best chance for recovery.

Preliminary Evaluation of a Hydrogel Liquid Bandage in 30 Dogs Undergoing Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy Surgery
Preliminary results suggest that prevalence of minor incisional complications after TPLO surgery treated with hydrogel liquid bandage and or with a traditional adhesive bandage may be comparable. No major adverse effects were seen with the use of hydrogel liquid bandage.

CONTINUAL EDUCATION

DID YOU KNOW...

The fastest route to an answer to your question is a VIN Database Search. But, because sorting through hundreds of results can be overwhelming, the VIN consultants (and other experts) create up-to-date summaries (Medical FAQs) of common topics.

 

Each FAQ discusses the key ideas of the issue and gives you links to more detailed information. Additional FAQs are being added and updated constantly.

FUNNY BONES

Funny Things Clients Say
My co-worker came back to her desk with a story about a couple whose cat constantly brings them "gifts." Many of these gifts are still alive, and the cat brings them right inside.

After being asked about the inevitable mayhem resulting from this, they explained, "We have two nets and a hammer."
