Meta-analysis of studies of treatments for feline
urine spraying
PubMed Share    
Feline urine spraying inside the home is a common problem behaviour that owners seek advice for from veterinarians. Individual trials relating to a variety
of interventions produce variable results, and to date, no consensus on the value of different treatments has emerged. This study aimed to meta-analyze, current data from appropriate published clinical trials that evaluate treatments for feline urine spraying. More
Confirming diagnosis of hyperthyroidism in cats: Serum free T3 concentrations
Animal Endocrine Clinic
Share
The feline thyroid gland makes two active thyroid hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Despite the fact that T3 is more potent than T4, use of total T3 concentrations are not a good diagnostic test for hyperthyroidism in cats. More than 30 percent of hyperthyroid cats have a normal serum T3 concentration even when they have clearly high total and free T4 values. Would measuring free T3 be a better indicator of what's happening
at this tissue level?

Ultrasound: A go-to diagnostic tool
Veterinary Practice News
Share
Using ultrasound equipment in everyday practice means offering a minimally invasive service that is growing in appeal to clients. But before making the $10,000 to $200,000 investment, experts
say veterinarians need to know their clients are interested in the service and then figure the return on investment. "For a feline-only practitioner ... a machine with a single high-resolution probe may be sufficient," said James C. Brown Jr., a clinical assistant professor of radiology at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine in Raleigh, N.C.

Cat with 2 paws survives month in the wild
KOTV-TV
Share
 When Deuce the cat was discovered, investigators thought someone had intentionally
cut off his back legs, but his vet now believes he was injured in some sort of farm accident. "He's a total miracle," said Beth Ruby at Quail Creek Vet Clinic in Oklahoma City. "To think a cat could survive an injury to that degree and then be able to live out in the environment without any kind of food or protection or any kind of health care for four to six weeks."

Salon
Share
Cats don't take to leashes, particularly
at the robust age of 13; but to writer Sarah Hepola, it seemed like an elegant solution to the great dilemma of her cat's life. He would die if he went outside. And he would die if he didn't. Hepola details her second attempt to take her cat Bubba outside with a leash.

The Associated Press via The Washington Post
Share
Cats that spray are most likely communicating distress rather than misbehaving, so piling on more anxiety through punishment is counterproductive, veterinarians said. "It's like graffiti, scented
graffiti," said Sophia Yin, executive board member of the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior.
