Polyarthropathy and anterior uveitis as paraneoplastic syndromes in a guinea pig with disseminated lymphoma
A 4-year-old intact male guinea pig was presented for evaluation of ocular pain and forelimb lameness. Initial examination confirmed bilateral anterior uveitis and the lameness was attributed to a bilateral carpal and metacarpal polyarthropathy. Carpal joint taps revealed non-septic marked mixed inflammation later confirmed as a non-erosive immune-mediated polyarthropathy (IMPA). Treatment with topical steroid ophthalmic ointment resulted in rapid resolution of the uveitis; the arthropathy was initially managed with pain medication and anti-inflammatories, then later with doxycycline and cyclosporine.

Surgical management of traumatic elbow luxation with circumferential suture prostheses in a rabbit (oryctolagus cuniculus)
A 2-year-old dwarf rabbit was referred for right forelimb lameness of one-week duration. An external physical examination and radiographic findings were consistent with elbow luxation. Manual reduction under anesthesia was unsuccessful in corrected the luxated joint. A surgical approach was recommended to repair the rabbit elbow luxation. Trans-condylar, trans-radial, and trans-ulnar tunnels were drilled from lateral to medial with two suture prostheses being placed, one from the radius to the humerus and one from the humerus to the ulna.

Avian cholera in canaries (serinus canaria): review of 2 outbreaks
This report describes the evaluation of 2 avian cholera outbreaks in two canary (Serinus canaria) aviaries located in southern Brazil. The first outbreak had its onset after a thermal inversion, when the canaries exhibited clinical signs that included dyspnea, conjunctivitis, cyanosis, and death. The clinical progression of the disease, on average, lasted 2 days, and lead to a 40% loss of birds within the aviary. In the second outbreak the canaries also went through a thermal inversion, ending up with several cases of sudden death (60% of mortality) in a period of 24 hours.

Diagnostic challenge
A 4-year-old, neutered male ferret (Mustela putorius furo) presented to the Kansas State University Veterinary Health Center (Manhattan, KS USA) for suspected urinary obstruction. The owner noticed that the ferret had been straining intermittently for 8 hours with no urine production. Six months earlier the ferret had presented for lethargy and was diagnosed with acute kidney injury due to presumptive pyelonephritis, which resolved with hospitalization and antibiotic therapy. On physical examination, the ferret was depressed and lethargic. (Source: Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine)
