/L). Tapering of the antiseizure medication could have been attempted but was not undertaken due to the dog suffering no medication side effects. Although PSSs remain an infrequent diagnosis in geriatric canine veterinary patients presenting with seizures
determining whether the patient is a suitable candidate for exploratory celiotomy. The purpose of the study reported here was to determine whether survival rates of geriatric horses undergoing colic surgery were comparable to survival rates for the remainder
outcomes, particularly in nontherapeutic settings. Given the longevity of horses (compared with that of other companion animals) and the often long-term relationships people have with them, human-horse relationships are unique. In fact, geriatric horses and
geriatric cats because of an increased likelihood of comorbidities. 13,14 Tramadol, a synthetic opioid, has multiple mechanisms of action 15–18 and relatively high bioavailability and slow clearance in cats, compared with other species, 19–21 and
Geriatric horses represent a substantial proportion of the equine population, and information regarding the health and care of this cohort has been the focus of several recently published articles. 1–10 There is cumulative evidence that increased
the nonazotemic and azotemic stages of CKD, compared with those in healthy geriatric cats; develop a multivariable model of variables (traditional and nontraditional) associated with plasma PTH concentration in cats with CKD; and report 95% confidence
Introduction As veterinary care and welfare for nondomestic hoofstock housed in modern zoological institutions continues to improve, there are greater numbers of geriatric populations under human care. It is now common to have captive animals
PORV, with older patients being at the highest risk; however, the risk of PORV specifically in the geriatric dog population has not been extensively studied. 2 , 5 Other variables associated with the development of PORV without use of antiemetics
therefore suggested that cauxin may play an important role in behavioral territorial marking in cats. 4,5 Chronic kidney disease is commonly recognized in geriatric cats. 6,7 In 1 study, 8 immunohistochemical techniques revealed fewer proximal straight
activity levels independent of analgesic effects. 31 The objective of the study reported here was to evaluate the effects of gabapentin in geriatric cats with osteoarthritis and owner-identified mobility impairment in a randomized, placebo
