Normal reference intervals and the effects of sample handling on dynamic viscoelastic coagulometry (Sonoclot) in healthy adult horses
ConclusionsSample agitation and rest time should be taken into consideration when developing preanalytical guidelines for Sonoclot analysis in horses. Calculated reference intervals were relatively wide. Further research is needed to evaluate the clinical utility of Sonoclot analysis in horses.

Inflammatory cytokine and C ‐reactive protein concentrations in dogs with systemic inflammatory response syndrome
ConclusionsSerum CRP concentration is increased in dogs with SIRS, and decreases during treatment and hospitalization. Serum CRP, plasma IL‐6, and plasma TNF‐α concentrations cannot predict outcome in dogs with SIRS. (Source: Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care)

Acute polyneuromyopathy with respiratory failure secondary to monensin intoxication in a dog
Abstract
ObjectiveTo describe a successfully managed case of polyneuropathy and respiratory failure secondary to presumed monensin intoxication.
Case SummaryA 9‐month‐old Australian Shepherd was evaluated for progressive generalized weakness and respiratory distress. Several days preceding presentation, the dog was seen playing with a monensin capsule, and had free access to a barn where the product was stored and where chewed capsules were subsequently found. The dog was presented with flaccid tetraparesis, hyperthermia, and severe respiratory distress. Bloodwork and urinalysis revealed marked increase in serum creati...

Transpalpebral ultrasonographic measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter in healthy dogs
ConclusionsThese results suggest that ONSD‐US may be reliably measured in dogs using our described transpalpebral approach, and we have calculated prediction intervals based on body weight. Future studies are needed to determine if ONSD‐US measurements are associated with intracranial hypertension as shown in human medicine. (Source: Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care)

The influence of inflammation and hematocrit on clot strength in canine thromboelastographic hypercoagulability
ConclusionOverall clot strength in TEG analyses of the hypercoagulable dogs included in the present study appears to be primarily associated with inflammation as well as hematocrit. Furthermore, the ratio between standard TEG analyses and TEG analyses with Cyt D may reflect some degree of platelet activity. (Source: Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care)

Retrospective evaluation of the prognostic utility of plasma lactate concentration, base deficit, pH, and anion gap in canine and feline emergency patients
ConclusionsThe presence and magnitude of hyperlactatemia on presentation to the emergency room may help identify dogs and cats with high likelihood of in‐hospital mortality, and the presence of lactic acidosis specifically may help identify dogs with yet higher risk of in‐hospital mortality.

Serum alpha1 ‐proteinase inhibitor concentrations in dogs with systemic inflammatory response syndrome or sepsis
ConclusionsThese results suggest a role of cα1‐PI as a negative acute phase protein in dogs. The concentration of serum cα1‐PI at the time of hospital admission does not have utility to identify dogs with sepsis from those with noninfectious SIRS, but may be a useful surrogate marker for early stratification of illness severity.

Comparison of albumin, colloid osmotic pressure, von Willebrand factor, and coagulation factors in canine cryopoor plasma, cryoprecipitate, and fresh frozen plasma
ConclusionsThe mean albumin concentration and COP were highest in CPP, suggesting that CPP may be a potential alternative to FFP for oncotic support and albumin replacement. CRYO contained higher activities of vWf and factor VIII than other products and could be used to treat vWf deficiency and hemophilia A. As vitamin K dependent coagulation factors II, VII, and X in CPP were similar to FFP, CPP may be an option for replacement of most of vitamin K dependent factors.

Evaluation of echocardiography and cardiac biomarker concentrations in dogs with gastric dilatation volvulus
ConclusionsConcentrations of cTnI and NT‐proBNP increased during hospitalization, but only cTnI concentrations were significantly higher in dogs with a higher arrhythmia grade. Additional research on the potential role of serial measurement of biomarkers in dogs with GDV is warranted. (Source: Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care)

Retrospective evaluation of 155 adult equids and 21 foals with tetanus in Western, Northern, and Central Europe (2000 –2014). Part 1: Description of history and clinical evolution
ConclusionsThis is the first study that rigorously describes a large population of equids affected by tetanus. The information provided is potentially useful to clinicians for early recognition and case management of tetanus in adult horses and foals. Tetanus affects multiple organ systems, requiring broad supportive and intensive care. Neonatal and adult tetanus in the horse should be considered as distinct syndromes, as in human medicine.
