Our innovative approach aims to provide more effective and long-lasting solutions for pets suffering from IBD. #IBD #CanineIBD #FelineIBD #VeterinaryMedicine #AnimalHealth #ResearchAndDevelopment #VETmAbBIO

🚩The Rivalta Test: A Quick and Reliable Diagnostic Tool for Feline Effusion 🚩In the world of veterinary medicine, precise and rapid diagnostics are essential. One such invaluable tool is the Rivalta test, a simple, fast on-site test that allows veterinarians to detect or exclude ongoing Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) in cats with effusion. 🚩Key Benefits of the Rivalta Test: The Rivalta test assists in differentiating between effusion caused by FIP (exudate) and effusion due to other diseases (transudate). This differentiation is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. 🚩How the Test Works: 1. Prepare the Mixture: Create a solution of water and acetic acid. 2. Add the Sample: Introduce one drop of the effusion to the mixture. 3. Observe the Reaction: Observe the reaction. A positive result, indicative of FIP, occurs when the drop forms a jelly-like clump that remains suspended or sinks slowly, resembling a lava lamp effect. A negative result, suggesting a transudate from other causes, occurs when the drop dissolves. The Rivalta test’s straightforward procedure and immediate results make it an excellent tool in clinical settings. Implementing this test can significantly enhance our ability to diagnose FIP promptly, ensuring timely intervention and better care for our feline patients. By integrating the Rivalta test into routine practice, veterinary professionals can make more informed decisions, ultimately improving health outcomes for cats. #VeterinaryMedicine #FelineHealth #RivaltaTest #FIP #CatCare #VeterinaryDiagnostics #EffusionDiagnosis #PetHealth #VetPractice #ClinicalTools

🐱 Veterinary practices dedicated to compassionate care place a strong emphasis on tailored pain management. A team-oriented approach involving the owner, veterinarian, and pharmacist is necessary when exploring pain management options for cats. Pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic methods are used to manage acute post-surgical pain and chronic pain from conditions like degenerative joint disease (DJD). 🐾 Diagnosis is challenging because cats often hide symptoms. Once a diagnosis is made, the lack of approved drugs can make treatment difficult. Cats also resist medication administration which causes inaccurate doses and distress. Personalized medications with custom flavours, strengths, and routes of administration are important to be considered when treating pain in feline patients. Our pharmacist can provide suggestions based on each cat’s specific needs and preferences. #VeterinaryCare #CatHealth #PetHealth #PersonalizedPetCare

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)/Chronic Inflammatory Enteropathy (CIE) is a gastrointestinal condition that causes significant suffering for cats and dogs along with their human family members. Even though the third most common reason people bring their pets to the veterinarian is showing signs and symptoms of IBD, current treatments are limited in effectiveness and none are approved by the FDA. Working to address veterinary illnesses that lack great treatment options is what we do!

🔬Struvite Urolithiasis in Canines 🔬 Struvite stones, or struvite uroliths, are a prevalent concern in veterinary practice, particularly among certain breeds and female dogs. As veterinarians, understanding the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management strategies is essential for effective patient care. Pathophysiology Struvite stones are composed of magnesium ammonium phosphate and typically form in alkaline urine, often secondary to urinary tract infections caused by urease-producing bacteria. The increased urine pH promotes the precipitation of these minerals, leading to stone formation. Clinical Presentation Common signs of struvite urolithiasis include: ☘️Pollakiuria: Increased frequency of urination ☘️Stranguria: Straining to urinate, often accompanied by discomfort ☘️Hematuria: Blood in the urine ☘️Vomiting and Lethargy: General malaise can occur if obstruction is present 🔬Diagnosis Diagnosis is typically achieved through urinalysis, abdominal imaging (radiographs or ultrasound), and culture to identify any underlying infections. 🩺Management ☘️Surgical Intervention: For obstructive cases, surgical removal of the stones may be necessary. ☘️Medical Management: Diet modification to acidify urine and promote stone dissolution is crucial. Canned diets can increase water intake and help reduce the risk of recurrence. ☘️Preventive Care: Regular monitoring through urinalysis and follow-up imaging can help prevent future urolithiasis. As we advance our understanding of struvite urolithiasis, we can better educate pet owners on prevention and management strategies, ultimately improving the health outcomes for our canine patients. #VeterinaryMedicine #StruviteUrolithiasis #PetHealth #VeterinaryCare #DogHealth
