Treatment of meloxicam overdose in a dog via therapeutic plasma exchange
This report describes the successful use of TPE adjunctively following an acute meloxicam overdose. An 82% reduction of plasma meloxicam concentration was achieved over 210 minutes. Twenty‐four hours after therapy, a 47% sustained reduction of plasma meloxicam was measured after redistribution of drug between body compartments.

Treatment of ibuprofen intoxication in a dog via therapeutic plasma exchange
This report describes the use of TPE as an adjunct for ibuprofen intoxication. An 85% reduction in plasma ibuprofen concentration occurred and recovery from a potentially lethal ingestion of ibuprofen was achieved with TPE and supportive care. TPE should be considered when presented with acute ibuprofen intoxication due to the rapid and efficacious nature of therapy. (Source: Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care)

Comparison of two species ‐specific oscillometric blood pressure monitors with direct blood pressure measurement in anesthetized cats
ConclusionsAlthough both OBP monitors provide unacceptable SAP estimations, MAP values derived from both monitors and DAP measured by the petMAPgraphic result in acceptable agreement with the reference method according to the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (mean bias ≤ 5 mm Hg with LOA ≤ ± 16 mm Hg). Both monitors provide acceptable trending ability for SAP, DAP, and MAP. (Source: Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care)

The use of therapeutic plasma exchange to reduce serum bilirubin in a dog with kernicterus
Abstract ObjectiveTo describe the use of a manual method of therapeutic plasma exchange to reduce total serum bilirubin, manage kernicterus, and halt progression of neurological dysfunction in a dog with immune‐mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA). Case SummaryA 5‐year‐old male neutered Lhasa Apso diagnosed with IMHA developed acute onset neurologic signs consistent with kernicterus. Manual therapeutic plasma exchange was performed in an attempt to reduce total serum bilirubin. The initial exchange was performed at a lower plasma exchange volume due to the dog's critical status and the dog's clinical signs progressed. Mo...

A retrospective study of anti ‐inflammatory use in dogs with pulmonary blastomycosis: 139 cases (2002–2012)
ConclusionsIn this population of dogs with pulmonary blastomycosis, the use of anti‐inflammatory medications during therapy did not impact 30‐day survival; however, the need for oxygen supplementation was associated with significantly lower survival.

Prevalence of and risk factors for intraoperative gastroesophageal reflux and postanesthetic vomiting and diarrhea in dogs undergoing general anesthesia
ConclusionsGID are common in dogs undergoing general anesthesia. Duration and characteristics of the procedure, anesthetic management, and changes in certain patient variables are significant risk factors for the presence of GID in the perioperative period.

Operator ‐based variability of equine thromboelastography
ConclusionsTEG measurements of MA and G are more reproducible than assessment of K, within samples and between operators. The highest test variability was thus observed within the early phase of clot formation. (Source: Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care)

The effect of prazosin on outcome in feline urethral obstruction
ConclusionsAlthough our study results failed to find a difference in the incidence of rUO and severity of lower urinary tract signs among cats receiving prazosin and those receiving placebo, these study results should be interpreted cautiously as our study was underpowered to identify such differences. Larger placebo‐controlled, prospective studies are needed to determine the clinical utility of prazosin in prevention of rUO. (Source: Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care)

Status epilepticus in dogs and cats, part 1: etiopathogenesis, epidemiology, and diagnosis
Abstract ObjectiveTo review current knowledge of the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and consequences of status epilepticus (SE) in veterinary patients. Data SourcesHuman and veterinary literature, including clinical and laboratory research and reviews. EtiopathogenesisStatus epilepticus is a common emergency in dogs and cats, and may be the first manifestation of a seizure disorder. It results from the failure of termination of an isolated seizure. Multiple factors are involved in SE, including initiation and maintenance of neuronal excitability, neuronal network synchronization, and brain microenvironmental contributions to...
