Yellow Fungus Disease (Nannizziopsis guarroi) in Bearded Dragons
Yellow fungus disease in bearded dragons is an invasive, contagious dermatomycosis caused by Nannizziopsis guarroi (formerly CANV). A clinical hub on taxonomy, diagnosis by culture, histopathology and PCR, antifungal dosing (voriconazole, terbinafine), debridement, biosecurity, and prognosis.
Read →Zinc Toxicosis in Dogs: Sources, Hemolysis, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Canine zinc toxicosis causes intravascular hemolysis, hemoglobinuria, and multi-organ injury, usually from a swallowed post-1982 penny or galvanized metal. A clinical reference on zinc sources, the royal-blue-top tube pitfall, source removal, and the chelation debate.
Read →Mushroom Toxicosis in Dogs and Cats: Amatoxin, Syndromic Triage, and Emergency Treatment
A clinician's guide to mushroom toxicosis in dogs and cats, leading with lethal amatoxin (Amanita) hepatotoxicosis and its deceptive biphasic course, then the full syndromic classification, time-of-onset triage, decontamination, and exact drug doses for each mushroom group.
Read →Guinea Pig Urolithiasis: Calcium Carbonate Stones, Diagnosis, and Surgical Management
Guinea pig uroliths are usually calcium carbonate stones that resist dissolution, so surgery is definitive. A clinical reference on signalment, pathophysiology, radiographic diagnosis, cystotomy and urethral techniques, off-label meloxicam dosing, hindgut-safe antibiotics, and prevention.
Read →Rabbit Flystrike (Cutaneous Myiasis): Emergency Management
Flystrike is a warm-weather emergency in rabbits: blowfly larvae can drive toxaemia and shock within a day. A DVM guide to shock stabilisation, mechanical larval removal and debridement, rabbit-specific meloxicam dosing, secondary antibiosis, prognosis, and correcting the predisposing cause - plus why cyromazine (Rearguard) prevents but does not treat.
Read →Paroxetine in Dogs and Cats
A DVM reference on extralabel paroxetine for canine and feline anxiety, aggression, and urine marking: verified dosing, onset, adverse effects, drug interactions, and how it compares with fluoxetine.
Read →Cane Toad (Bufo) Toxicosis in Dogs and Cats: Emergency Management
Emergency reference for bufonid toad toxicosis in dogs and cats. Bufadienolides inhibit Na+/K+-ATPase like digoxin while biogenic amines drive hypersalivation and hyperadrenergic signs; immediate oral lavage (never emesis), benzodiazepine seizure control, and rhythm-directed cardiac management anchor treatment, and Rhinella marina is the most toxic species.
Read →Rabbit Dental Disease and Malocclusion: A Clinical Reference for Veterinarians
A DVM clinical reference on rabbit acquired dental disease and malocclusion: dental anatomy, the fiber- and calcium-driven pathophysiology, imaging, coronal reduction and incisor extraction, tooth-root abscess surgery, meloxicam analgesia, and lifelong management.
Read →Ibuprofen and Human-NSAID Toxicosis in Dogs and Cats
Ibuprofen and other human NSAIDs are among the most common OTC poisonings in dogs and cats. This clinical hub gives the verbatim mg/kg dose bands, the toxicokinetics behind repeat-dose charcoal, and an ER management plan: decontamination, 48-72h fluid diuresis, and layered GI protection - with no antidote and cats twice as sensitive as dogs.
Read →Amitriptyline in Dogs and Cats: Extralabel Behavioral Pharmacology, Dosing, and Evidence
A DVM-facing clinical reference on extralabel amitriptyline in dogs and cats: TCA mechanism, canine and feline dosing, adverse effects, serotonin syndrome interactions, monitoring, and the mixed feline idiopathic cystitis evidence.
Read →Sertraline (Zoloft) in Dogs and Cats for Behavior
Sertraline is an off-label SSRI used as a maintenance adjunct to behavior modification for anxiety, aggression, and compulsive disorders in dogs and cats.
