Treatment of supraventricular tachycardia in a horse
Abstract ObjectiveTo describe the treatment of persistent supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in a young horse in endurance training. Case SummaryA 6‐year‐old Arab gelding in endurance training presented for a dysrhythmia and decreased performance. SVT was diagnosed and conversion to a normal sinus rhythm was achieved following administration of a constant rate infusion of amiodarone. However, reversion to SVT occurred shortly after initiation of ridden exercise. A second attempt to convert the dysrhythmia with amiodarone failed, but normal sinus rhythm was achieved with transvenous electrical cardioversion (TVEC). Post...

Abstract ObjectiveTo report a case of successful surgical removal of a guide wire lost during central venous catheterization. Case SummaryA 28 kg, 4‐year‐old female neutered mixed breed dog presented to the primary care veterinarian with diabetic ketosis. During the process of central venous catheterization, the guide wire was accidently released and the entire length of the guide wire slipped into the jugular vein.

Disorders of micturition in small animal patients: clinical significance, etiologies, and management strategies
Abstract ObjectivesTo review the physiology of micturition, the pathophysiology of micturition disorders, and current pharmacological agents used to treat these disorders. To discuss different urinary catheterization techniques, along with the risks of catheter‐associated urinary tract infections attributed with these techniques. EtiologyMany critically ill veterinary patients are at risk of developing a number of neurological and non neurological micturition‐related disorders. DiagnosisMicturition disorders can be diagnosed based on physical examination findings, urinary voiding contrast studies, urethral pressure pro...
