ObjectivesTo investigate evidence for selected vector‐borne pathogen infections in dogs with pericardial effusion living in a Mediterranean area in which several canine vector‐borne diseases are endemic.
Materials and MethodsArchived EDTA blood (n=68) and pericardial fluid samples (n=58) from dogs with pericardial effusion (n=68) were included. Dogs without pericardial effusion examined for other reasons were included as controls (n=60). Pericardial effusion was classified as neoplastic in 40 dogs, idiopathic in 23 dogs and of unknown aetiology in 5 dogs. Real‐time PCR was performed for Leishmania infantum, Ehrlichia...

Prevalence and disease associations in feline thrombocytopenia: a retrospective study of 194 cases
ObjectivesTo assess the prevalence of thrombocytopenia in a referral population of cats in the UK, to identify disease processes associated with thrombocytopenia and to assess the proportion of thrombocytopenic cats that tested positive for feline leukaemia virus or feline immunodeficiency virus.
Materials and MethodsRetrospective analysis of medical records at a UK referral hospital. Cats were grouped by mechanism of thrombocytopenia and disease process (where known).
ResultsPrevalence of thrombocytopenia was 5·9%. The most common disease processes associated with thrombocytopenia were haematological or infectious diseas...

Leiomyoma in the nasal cavity of a dog
A 7‐year‐old, 34‐kg, neutered male Labrador retriever was presented with a 1‐year history of intermittent sneezing with occasional left‐sided epistaxis. CT revealed a mass in the left nasal cavity. Histopathological analysis of rhinoscopy‐guided tissue biopsies was consistent with chronic necrotic and ulcerative rhinitis. Surgical debridement by ventral rhinotomy was subsequently performed and histopathological diagnosis was leiomyoma. Complete resolution of the nasal discharge and reduced sneezing frequency were observed after surgery. Fourteen months postoperatively, CT detected no regrowth of the mass. (Sour...

Evaluation of oscillometric blood pressure monitor BLT M9000 VET in anaesthetised healthy adult dogs
Objectives:
To examine agreement in anaesthetised dogs between invasive blood pressure measurements and measurements obtained with an oscillometric blood pressure monitor.
Materials and MethodsPaired invasive and oscillometric measurements were taken in 24 dogs every 5 minutes during anaesthesia (9 to 37 measurements per dog). Agreement between measurement methods was explored using Bland–Altman plots. To determine the accuracy of the oscillometric measurements, the results were compared with the guidelines recommended by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine and the Association for the Advancement of Med...

Salmonella serotypes isolated in geckos kept in seven collections in southern Italy
This study evaluated the prevalence of Salmonella species in different species of gecko kept as pets in Italy.
Materials and MethodsFaecal swab samples were collected from 70 clinically healthy geckos and examined for Salmonella species by culture that were then serotyped.
ResultsSalmonella species were isolated from 24 of 70 (34·3%) samples. Eighteen isolates expressed resistance to ceftazidime and four isolates to ampicillin.
Clinical SignificanceSalmonella spp. can be isolated from apparently healthy captive gecko which should be considered as a potential source of infection for humans and other companion animals. (...
