Vitamin E concentrations in hospitalized adult horses and foals Open
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of vitamin E deficiency in horses at admission and at the time of discharge. The hypothesis was that vitamin E concentrations would decrease during hospitalization. METHODS A prospective cohort study w…

Time to resolution of airway inflammation caused by bronchoalveolar lavage in healthy horses Open
Background Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a common procedure for evaluation of the equine lower airways. Time to resolution of post‐BAL inflammation has not been clearly defined. Hypothesis Residual inflammation, evident by changes in imm…

Computed tomographic diagnosis of a common bile duct abscess and secondary extrahepatic biliary duct obstruction in a potbelly pig Open
A potbelly pig was evaluated for anorexia and icterus. Clinicopathologic abnormalities suggested an active inflammatory hepatobiliary process. Ultrasound and CT of the abdomen revealed an extrahepatic biliary obstruction of the common bile…

Measurement of 8‐hydroxy‐2′‐deoxyguanosine in serum and cerebrospinal fluid of horses with neuroaxonal degeneration and other causes of proprioceptive ataxia Open
Background Eight‐hydroxy‐2′‐deoxyguanosine (8‐OHdG), a biomarker of oxidative damage evaluated in human neurodegenerative disease, has potential to correlate with postmortem diagnosis of neuroaxonal dystrophy/degenerative myeloencephalopat…

Effect of plasma transfusion on serum amyloid A concentration in healthy neonatal foals and foals with failure of transfer of passive immunity Open
Background Anecdotal evidence suggests plasma transfusions increase serum amyloid A (SAA) concentrations in healthy neonatal foals making this marker of inflammation inappropriate for therapeutic decision making in such animals. Hypothesis…

Intracranial medulloblastoma as the cause of progressive ataxia in a 6‐month‐old draft horse cross gelding Open
We describe the unique clinical presentation of a central nervous system neoplasm in a 6‐month‐old draft horse cross gelding. Based on the neurologic examination at admission, neurolocalization was most consistent with a mildly asymmetric …
