An ethical viewpoint: The role of veterinarians and behaviourists in ensuring good husbandry for catsJournal of Feline Medicine and Surgery - Tập 6 - Trang 43-48 - 2004
Peter F. Neville
Cat owners commonly consider their pets to be members of their families, and
many factors contribute to a high level of owner attachment to their cats.
Suppression of a cat's emotional needs in favour of the emotional requirements
of the owner may produce a less satisfactory relationship for the owner, and
usually for the cat as well. Owners' failure to comprehend their cat's true
demands of life,... hiện toàn bộ
Single-dose pharmacokinetics and genotoxicity of metronidazole in catsJournal of Feline Medicine and Surgery - Tập 11 - Trang 60-68 - 2009

Single-dose pharmacokinetics and genotoxicity of metronidazole in cats were
evaluated. Cats received either 5 mg/kg metronidazole intravenously, or 20 mg/kg
metronidazole benzoate (12.4 mg/kg metronidazole base) orally in a single dose.
Serial plasma samples were collected and assayed for metronidazole using high
pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Genotoxicity was assessed in vitro in
feline p... hiện toàn bộ
Diagnosis, Treatment, and Long-Term Follow-Up of Bilateral, Upper Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) in a CatJournal of Feline Medicine and Surgery - Tập 4 - Trang 213-220 - 2002
SI Thoresen, WP Bredal, RD Sande
A case of bilateral, upper urinary tract infection caused by haemolytic E coli
in a female Birman cat is presented. Ultrasonographic examination of the kidneys
documented changes in size, outline, echogenicity and architecture. Ultrasound
guided fine needle aspiration of fluid from the renal pelvis was used to make
the diagnosis. Fluid was submitted for culture and sensitivity and based on the

Comparison of different in-house test systems to detect parvovirus in faeces of catsJournal of Feline Medicine and Surgery - Tập 10 - Trang 247-251 - 2008
Felix F. Neuerer, Karin Horlacher, Uwe Truyen, Katrin Hartmann
In-house tests for the identification of faecal parvovirus antigen are now
available. The majority of these are licensed for canine parvovirus only; but
anecdotal information suggests that they will detect feline panleukopenia virus
(FPV) as well. This prospective study was designed to compare five commercially
available test systems. In total, 200 faecal samples from randomly selected
healthy cat... hiện toàn bộ
Gross and cytological characteristics of normal feline anal-sac secretionsJournal of Feline Medicine and Surgery - Tập 10 - Trang 319-323 - 2008
Jessica L. Frankel, Danny W. Scott, Hollis N. Erb
This study was conducted to characterize the gross and cytological
characteristics of secretions from normal feline anal sacs. Thirty cats with no
recent history of anal-sac disease were selected consecutively and their anal
sacs manually expressed. The color, cell counts, or presence of solid portions
of the secretions in the youngest cats (<1 year old) were not significantly
different from the r... hiện toàn bộ
Tritrichomonas foetus infection in cats with diarrhoea in a rescue colony in ItalyJournal of Feline Medicine and Surgery - Tập 11 - Trang 131-134 - 2009
Malcolm Holliday, Dario Deni, Danièlle A. Gunn-Moore
Faecal samples from 74 cats with chronic large bowel diarrhoea that were living
in a rescue colony in Italy, were submitted for assessment of Tritrichomonas
foetus by direct microscopy of faecal smears ( n=20) and T foetus-specific
culture ( n=74), with confirmation by polymerase chain reaction ( n=1).
Twenty-four of the cats (32%) were found to be infected with T foetus. The
infected cats were pr... hiện toàn bộ
Pain management in cats—past, present and future. Part 1. The cat is uniqueJournal of Feline Medicine and Surgery - Tập 6 - Trang 313-320 - 2004
P.M. Taylor, S.A. Robertson
Cats are popular pets but until recently their perioperative and traumatic pain
was seriously underestimated and under treated. There are several causes of this
under treatment. First, it may be difficult to detect pain in cats, because they
do not demonstrate overt pain-associated behaviour. Secondly, there are
relatively few analgesic drugs with market authorisation for cats. Thirdly, cats
have ... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of an odor eliminator on feline litter box behaviorJournal of Feline Medicine and Surgery - Tập 9 - Trang 44-50 - 2007
Nicole Cottam, Nicholas H. Dodman
Decreasing litter box odor may be an important treatment component in addressing
feline inappropriate elimination. A three-phase study was conducted to determine
if the use of Zero Odor litter box spray increases the preference of litter
boxes to cats, presumably by its odor-eliminating quality. In the first phase,
cats were given a litter box preference test between a litter box sprayed with
Zero... hiện toàn bộ
