Assessing the Educational Value of a Zoo Placement for Veterinary Students: A Report on Student Feedback and Perceptions (2021)
Journal Article

Zoological medicine is an expanding field with limited practical training opportunities for veterinary students. Those training programs that do exist require significant financial and resource investment by both veterinary schools and the zoological...

Association of magnetic resonance assessed disc degeneration and late clinical recurrence in dogs treated surgically for thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusions (2020)
Journal Article

Background: Radiographic signs of intervertebral disc mineralization are thought to indicate sites of future recurrence of disc extrusion (Hansen type I) but the relationship between evidence of disc degeneration on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a...

Cytosine arabinoside constant rate infusion without subsequent subcutaneous injections for the treatment of dogs with meningoencephalomyelitis of unknown origin (2020)
Journal Article

Background The administration of cytosine arabinoside (CA) by continuous rate infusion (CRI) at the time of diagnosis has been shown to improve the 3-month survival of dogs diagnosed with meningoencephalomyelitis of unknown origin (MUO), compared to...

Traumatic rib head subluxation through the intervertebral foramen causing spinal cord contusive injury in a cat (2020)
Journal Article

Case summary: A 4-year-old cat involved in a road traffic accident presented with paraparesis, which was worse on the right-hand side. Neurolocalisation was to the T3–L3 spinal cord segments. Survey radiographs showed rib fractures but no definitive... Read More about Traumatic rib head subluxation through the intervertebral foramen causing spinal cord contusive injury in a cat.

Single dose epidural methylprednisolone as a treatment and predictor of outcome following subsequent decompressive surgery in degenerative lumbosacral stenosis with foraminal stenosis (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Elsevier Ltd Alternative treatments to surgery in canine degenerative lumbosacral stenosis (DLSS) remain limited and reliable predictors of outcome are lacking. The aims of this clinical trial were threefold: to assess the usefulness of single...

Objectives This study describes the imaging features of feline discospondylitis on MRI, comparing them to CT and radiographic findings where available. Methods The medical records of cats diagnosed with discospondylitis, presented to three refer... Read More about Imaging features of discospondylitis in cats.

Linear magnetic resonance imaging measurements of the hippocampal formation differ in young versus old dogs (2019)
Journal Article

Age-related hippocampal formation (HF) atrophy has been documented on MRI studies using volumetric analysis and visual rating scales.This retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to compare linear MRI measurements of the HF between young (1–3 years)... Read More about Linear magnetic resonance imaging measurements of the hippocampal formation differ in young versus old dogs.

Long-term outcome following lateral foraminotomy as treatment for canine degenerative lumbosacral stenosis (2018)
Journal Article

Lateral foraminotomy has been described as an effective surgical treatment for foraminal stenosis in the treatment of degenerative lumbosacral stenosis (DLSS) in dogs. Clinical records were reviewed from 45 dogs which had undergone lateral foraminoto...

Gainfully employing descending controls in acute and chronic pain management (2018)
Journal Article

Specific primary afferent fibres termed nociceptors are responsible for transmitting nociceptive information. Centrally the axonal terminals of these fibres synapse with secondary projection neurones in the spinal dorsal horn to transmit nociceptive...
