Journal Article
Caron-Lormier, G., England, G. C., Green, M. J., & Asher, L. (2016). Using the incidence and impact of health conditions in guide dogs to investigate healthy ageing in working dogs. Veterinary Journal, 207, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2015.10.046

This study aimed to use retirement data from working guide dogs to investigate healthy ageing in dogs and the demographic factors that influence ageing. Using a dataset of 7686 dogs spanning 20 years, dogs withdrawn for health reasons before they rea...

Journal Article
Curtis, L., Burford, J., Thomas, J. S. M., Curran, M. L., Bayes, T. C., England, G. C., & Freeman, S. (in press). Prospective study of the primary evaluation of 1016 horses with clinical signs of abdominal pain by veterinary practitioners, and the differentiation of critical and non‑critical cases. Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 57(69), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13028-015-0160-9

Background: The majority of research on the evaluation of horses with colic is focused on referral hospital populations. Early identification of critical cases is important to optimise outcome and welfare. The aim of this prospective study was to sur...

Digital image analysis of testicular and prostatic ultrasonographic echogencity and heterogeneity in dogs and the relation to semen quality (2015)
Journal Article
Moxon, R., Bright, L., Pritchard, B., Bowen, I. M., Souza, M. B. D., Silva, L. D. M. D., & England, G. C. (2015). Digital image analysis of testicular and prostatic ultrasonographic echogencity and heterogeneity in dogs and the relation to semen quality. Animal Reproduction Science, 160, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anireprosci.2015.07.012

A semi-automated ultrasonographic method was developed to measure echogenicity and heterogeneity of the testes and prostate gland and relationships of these measures with semen quality were assessed in 43 fertile dogs. The relationship between animal... Read More about Digital image analysis of testicular and prostatic ultrasonographic echogencity and heterogeneity in dogs and the relation to semen quality.

Background

Measurement of testicular artery blood flow is used in several species to evaluate reproductive function and testicular and scrotal pathology. In dogs there are inconsistent reports about normal flow in post-pubertal dogs and no informa...
