Failure Of Passive Transfer In Camel Calves: 4 Cases (2010-2019), Amanda James, Joseph Smith, Julie Sheldon, Ricardo Videla
Faculty Publications and Other Works -- Large Animal Clinical Sciences
Failure of passive transfer is a management concern for all ruminant species, but is not well described in the literature for camel calves. This case series presents four camel calves (Camelus dromedarius and Camelus bactrianus) referred to a North American veterinary teaching hospital for diagnosis and management of failure of passive transfer. Diagnostics utilized included hematology, serum biochemistry, and immunologic methods as described for crias. Management included antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and plasma transfusion therapies. Three of the four calves survived to discharge, and common diagnostic practices such as evaluation of total solids, total protein, immunoglobulin G, and sodium sulfite appear to …

Use Of A Smartphone Ecg Monitor To Identify Electrocardiogram Abnormalities Due To Hyperkalemia From Urinary Obstruction In A Jacob’S Sheep, Joseph Smith
Faculty Publications and Other Works -- Large Animal Clinical Sciences
Smartphone-based ECGS present a diagnostic opportunity for large animal practice. A two year old Jacob’s sheep presented with severe hyperkalemia secondary to a urinary obstruction. Collection of an electrocardiogram from a smart-phone based device demonstrated altered waveforms typical of severe hyperkalemia. The patient was successfully managed with medical and surgical therapies. This case presents that the method of collecting a smartphone-based ECG as determined for other large animal species, may be applicable to sheep. Additionally, this report demonstrates that the smartphone-based device may be sensitive enough to detect the absence of a P wave as commonly encountered with cases of …
