Distemper is a contagious, highly lethal, and almost incurable viral disease in dogs and other terrestrial carnivores. This study evaluated a new distemper treatment for dogs. Two healthy male dogs of mixed breed were prepared. A 1 000-dose vial of Newcastle disease vaccine was then diluted with 6...

Nocardia are ubiquitous, saprophytic and opportunistic bacteria. They cause a set of pyogenic clinical infections in animals and humans, particularly immunocompromised patients, mostly affecting the skin and respiratory tract, with refractoriness to conventional therapy. The most descriptions of...

Objective: To evaluate relative cytotoxicity of antibiotics to normal canine joint tissues in vitro. Study design: Experimental in vitro study. Sample population: Chondrocytes and synoviocytes (three dogs); cartilage explants (three dogs); six dogs total. Methods: Chondrocytes and synoviocytes from ...

Background: Anecdotally, amikacin has been added to compounded topical preparations for the management of canine bacterial otitis externa. However, the stability of amikacin within these solutions is unknown. Hypothesis/Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the stability of ...

One of the predominating bacteria that causes diarrhoea is Escherichia coli (E. coli) in canines and may need treatment. The present study was focused on the isolation of E. coli spp. from dogs; its morphological and biochemical characterization, and assessment of its antibiotic sensitivity. About...

The aim of the study was to identify the aerobic bacterial isolates and determine corresponding antibiotic susceptibility profiles in vitro in canine clinical specimens with stromal corneal ulcers, with the goal of providing recommendations for first-line treatment with antibiotics. A total of 198 ...

The reproductive health and breeding status was studied in 124 pet dogs (121 females, 3 males) presented at the Veterinary Clinical Complex of the College of Veterinary Science and A.H. Anand. It comprised a majority of Labradors (32.26%), followed by German Shepherds (16.13%), Pomeranians...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) can cause otitis in dogs that is nonresponsive to empirical therapy. This study evaluated P. aeruginosa isolates (N = 216) from canine ear swabs submitted to the Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory from 2018-2020 to create an antibiogram and minimum...

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the most common Gram-negative pathogen isolated in human infections. Antimicrobial resistant (AMR) E. coli originating from dogs may directly or indirectly cause disease in humans. The objective of this study was to calculate the proportion of antimicrobial susceptible ...

A 6-year-old neutered male 35 kg Staffordshire terrier dog was presented for evaluation of interdigital furunculosis. Culture from lesions revealed meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, with susceptibility to only amikacin, chloramphenicol and vancomycin. Chloramphenicol was...
