The objective of this study was to examine the expression of 4 clinically-important Mex systems including MexAB-OprM, MexCD-OprJ, MexEF-OprN and MexXY in the Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates from dogs and cats. The isolates exhibited high level of resistance to multiple antibiotics clinically important. All of them simultaneously overexpressed up to three different Mex systems, including MexAB-OprM, MexEF-OprN and MexXY as determined by RT-PCR. None of the isolates overexpressed MexCD-OprJ. Expression of mexF was measured by using quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Transcription level of mexF varied (i.e. 4-219 fold) but was at least 4 fold higher than that of PAO1. DNA sequence …

The New Zealand green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) (NZGLM), a well-known source of n-3 PUFAs, has been shown to have a highly-potent anti-inflammatory action. The dietary fatty acid supplement used in this study was obtained from the NZGLM by a patented supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) extraction method. Effects of the dietary PUFA supplement on healthy Beagle dogs on hematology, blood chemistry and blood coagulation profiles were evaluated. A randomized complete blocked design was assigned to 40 healthy Beagle dogs aged between 1 to 3 years old. All dogs were separated into 4 groups, each of which had 5 males and 5 …
Treatment Of Pododemodicosis In A Geriatric Dog Using Spot – On Formulation Of Moxidectin Plus Imidacloprid: Case Report, Piyarat Chansiripornchai, Niwat Chansiripornchai
Treatment Of Pododemodicosis In A Geriatric Dog Using Spot – On Formulation Of Moxidectin Plus Imidacloprid: Case Report, Piyarat Chansiripornchai, Niwat Chansiripornchai

A 9 – year – old, 6.2 kg female Shitsu dog with a repeated history of pododemodicosis was presented at the animal hospital. The dog had been previously treated with miticides such as ivermectin injections and oral milbemycin oxime, but the clinical signs recurred every time after the therapy had been stopped. Microscopic examination of skin samples from the dog revealed the presence of Demodex canis. A spot – on formulation composed of 2.5% moxidectin and 10% imidacloprid was applied to the dog weekly. The dog’s skin lesions decreased by week 3 and the lesions completely resolved by week 6. …

Atopic dermatitis is a common pruritic inflammatory skin disease in humans and dogs. Cell junction and cornified envelope are groups of proteins that are crucial for the formation and stability of the skin barrier. The purpose of this study was to investigate gene expression in cell junction and cornified envelope groups in canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) in small dog breeds. Skin biopsy was performed from 10 lesional CAD, 9 non-lesional CAD cases and 11 normal dogs and subjected to quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Several cell junction genes were evaluated, including claudin-1, occludin, zonula occludens-1 and -2, zonula occludens-1-associated nucleic …

The objective of this study was to compare blood glucose concentrations obtained from two portable blood glucose meters (PBGM), Sure-step™ and Accucheck™, with reference method, glucose oxidase test. Blood samples were collected from dogs consulting in Small Animal Hospital, Chulalongkorn University. A hundred and thirty four blood samples were collected in the study. Blood glucose concentrations were measured by using Sure-step™, Accucheck™ and glucose oxidase method respectively in all samples. The intra-class correlation was determined to evaluate the correlation between each PBGM and glucose oxidase test. The range of the blood glucose concentrations was 31.47 to 347.49 mg/dl. Overall intra-class …

This study was conducted to determine the effects of rapid ventricular pacing on cardiac function and hemodynamics, and to determine the most suitable QTc formula for the effects of alterations in the RR interval on the QT interval of conscious dog with heart failure (HF). Electrocardiograms were acquired from dogs (n=18) at baseline and after rapid ventricular pacing (6, 9, 12 weeks). RR and QT intervals were measured and QTc intervals were calculated using 3 common formulae (Bazett, Fridericia and Van de Water). HF was confirmed by reduced left ventricular fractional shortening (p<0.05), significantly faster heart rate (p<0.001) and significantly changed QT and QTc intervals (p<0.001) when compared to the baseline. This model also demonstrated decreased systolic arterial pressure (p<0.01) and increased BNP (p<0.05). The appropriate regression equations were QT = 152.4+0.08RR for normal dogs and QT = 32.3 (RR) 0.29 for HF dogs. In normal dogs, the Van de Water formula reveals the least dependency of QTc on RR interval. In HF dogs, the Fridericia formula appears to be the best equation to remove the influence of heart rate.
