Clomiphene citrate (CC) is a synthetic non-steroidal agonist/antagonist oestrogenic compound with reported agonistic properties on dogs’ male reproductive system. This protocol compared the impact of a 0.5mg/kg/day treatment of CC on plasmatic testosterone concentrations and prostatic volume (PV) on 2 groups of 5 young (8years) dogs with benign pro...

Liver lobe torsions are rarely encountered in dogs and cats. Clinical signs are variable as presentation can be acute or chronic and may include abdominal pain, anorexia, anemia, abdominal effusion, lethargy and sudden death. Liver lobe torsion has been reported in adult and old cats only. This case report describes an uncommon presentation of a he...
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). It is an economically important disease responsible for reproductive failure in sows and respiratory disease in young pigs. For prevention and control of PRRS, vaccination is the primary choice for the majority of pig produ...
TGEV infection has been reported in many countries around the world, causing highly contagious enteric disease in piglets. TGEV causes severe diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration in the piglets. The mortality rates of TGEV infection are high in pigs of all ages, reaching up to 100% in piglets less than 2 weeks old. Moreover the recovered piglets can ...
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) are subdivided into “typical (t) EPEC” producing the “Bundle Forming Pili” (BFP) type 4 fimbriae and isolated from humans, and “atypical (a) EPEC” not producing the BFP and isolated from animals and humans. aEPEC are indeed quite frequently associated with diarrhoea in young calves. Although calf aEPEC can b...
Objective The aim of this study was to describe the use of epiphysiodesis by the means of a screw to treat a proximal tibial Salter–Harris II fracture associated with a tibial tuberosity avulsion in a 4.5-month-old Airedale Terrier. Study design A healing proximal tibial epiphyseal fracture was observed after a 10- day period. Tibial plateau angle ...
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are food-borne pathogens causing severe disease in humans worldwide, whose most important virulence factor is the production of Shiga toxins (Stx1, Stx2). Additionally, most STEC also possess the eae gene encoding for the intimin protein, which is responsible for the formation of the attaching and effac...
