Research Notes

Feline chronic enteropathy includes feline lymphocytic lymphoma (FLL), chronic inflammatory enteropathy (CIE), and food-responsive enteropathies. In this study, abdominal radiation therapy was administered to 14 cats with no previous history of corticosteroid or chemotherapy treatment.

Subjective visual assessment of gait analysis is prone to observer bias and variability among evaluators. This study trained and validated a deep learning–based markerless gait analysis model for use in dogs.

This report assessed whether hair cortisol concentration (HCC) differed between varying hair colors in multicolored cats, as well as whether individual factors (eg, age, sex) and behaviors impacted HCC.

Ocular and neurologic involvement of FIP is seen more frequently in its noneffusive (ie, dry) form and occurs in up to 36% of cases. FIP can be treated with GS-441524; data, however, are limited regarding use of GS-441524 or remdesivir for treatment of ocular forms of FIP.

Effectiveness of modified-live viral (MLV) vaccines against canine parvovirus (CPV)-2 depends on the ability of the vaccinal strain to infect the vaccinated dog; antibody-mediated blockade can lead to vaccine failure.

In human medicine, the hair apposition technique (HAT) is a technique in which hair is brought together and glued to allow for tissue apposition when repairing scalp lacerations.
