Spontaneous Reduction in Mitral Valve Regurgitation in Three Dogs With Severe Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease: An Unusual Case Report

ABSTRACT Background Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD), the most common heart disease in small‐breed dogs, is characterized by mitral regurgitation (MR) resulting from valvular degeneration, which may progress to left‐sided heart failure. This report describes the cases of th...

A homozygous hypomorphic FBN1 splice region variant in domestic cats with Marfan syndrome

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disease caused by variants in the fibrillin 1 ( FBN1 ) gene. While common in humans, spontaneous animal models are rarely reported. We present the first phenotypic and molecular characterization of MFS in domestic c...

Comparison of Radiographic Outcomes Between TPLO + TTT and CTWO + TTT in Dogs with Concurrent Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture and Medial Patellar Luxation

Cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) rupture frequently occurs with medial patellar luxation (MPL) in small-breed dogs, and both conditions may be corrected during surgery using a proximal tibial osteotomy—tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) or cranial tibial wedge osteotomy (CT...

Brachyspira hyodysenteriae detected in a dog with acute haemorrhagic diarrhoea: a case report
