Study showed that many cats have no detectable neutralizing antibodies against feline herpesvirus-1 despite previous vaccinations and fail to develop a response to vaccination.
Mycobacterium bovis, a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, can infect cats and has proven zoonotic risks for owners. A new study describes an outbreak of tuberculous disease of six young cats, living exclusively indoors in five different households across England.

Domestic short/medium/long hair breeds were most commonly affected, with pinnae, head, haired face, nasal planum and ungual folds most frequently involved.
Feline hyperthyroidism, the most common endocrinopathy in older cats, is similar in pathology to human thyrotoxicosis. In humans, thyrotoxicosis is associated with redox unbalance, which may result in organ damage. This study compared the redox status of cats with hyperthyroidism with that of healthy cats and cats with chronic non-thyroidal illness.
Heart base tumors occur commonly in older, brachycephalic dogs and are typically diagnosed via echocardiogram. Effective treatments so far have been limited to surgery (if possible) or radiation therapy. This study suggests that medical therapy may also be an option.
Sudy showed that cellular changes in endothelial IMMK were largely confined to the endothelium and distinct from the other forms of IMMK evaluated.
This study suggests a possible association between the degree of tail malformation and lumbosacral hemivertebrae.
The prosthetic suture repair technique described was effective at returning the shoulder joint to a normal range of motion in this ex vivo model.
Results suggested orally administered raltegravir might be effective for alleviation of ocular and respiratory signs of FHV-1 infection in cats.
Resistant isolates in the environment not only pose a risk for disease but also can serve as a repository for dissemination of resistance genes.
Differences in proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory biomarkers were detected between osteoarthritic joints and normal joints, but no relationship was identified between biomarker concentrations and gait asymmetry in dogs with osteoarthritis.
Study looks at the morbidity and mortality associated with adrenalectomy with cavotomy for resection of invasive adrenal neoplasms in dogs and evaluate risk factors for perioperative outcomes.
