Introduction: Systemic administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is seldomly reported in dogs and cats. Animals Client-owned animals receiving tPA (2010-2020). Materials and methods Medical records of dogs and cats receiving tPA for distant known/suspected thrombus were reviewed....

A 12-year-old neutered male basset hound-beagle crossbred dog with a history of protein-losing nephropathy was presented because of acute weight-bearing right hind limb lameness with hind-end paresis and intermittent splaying.

Familial glomerulopathies have been described in more than two dozen dog breeds. These canine spontaneous cases of glomerular disease are good models for their human counterparts. The dogs present clinically with protein-losing nephropathy and variable signs of hypertension, thromboembolic events,...

Four dogs had signs of pelvic limb lameness, pain, and collapse resulting from an occlusion of the distal aorta or the iliac arteries by thrombi. The diagnosis of an aortic thromboembolism was based on the absence or weakness of a femoral pulse, and the two-dimensional and Doppler ultrasonography...

Ascites, an episode of syncope or thromboembolism is some of the complications associated with the principal canine and feline cardiac conditions. These complications are less consistently observed than cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (treated separately in this issue) and there is no consensus...
