Sucralfate in Dogs and Cats: Dosing, Timing, and What the Evidence Supports
Sucralfate is a locally acting mucosal barrier agent that needs acid to work, not an acid suppressant. What the 2018 ACVIM consensus actually recommends, the PPI co-administration question, the quantified 2-hour drug-separation data in dogs, and dosing for both species.
Read →Salt Toxicosis and Hypernatraemia in Dogs: A Clinical Reference
Salt toxicosis kills through correction, not concentration. Exposure sources, the sodium thresholds that matter, free water deficit, and the maximum safe correction rate for acute versus chronic hypernatraemia in dogs.
Read →Rabbit Hypercalciuria and Bladder Sludge: A Clinical Reference
Cloudy rabbit urine is normal physiology, not a diagnosis. When sabulous sludge becomes disease: the calcium biology behind it, imaging, urinalysis limits, analgesia and diuresis, lavage versus cystotomy, and what the contested dietary-calcium evidence actually shows.
Read →Tyzzer's Disease (Clostridium piliforme) in Gerbils and Pet Rodents
Tyzzer's disease is the most frequently described fatal infectious disease of gerbils and usually presents as sudden death. A clinical reference on presentation, why ante-mortem confirmation fails, what antimicrobials can and cannot achieve, and spore decontamination.
Read →Metronidazole in Dogs and Cats: A Clinical Evidence Review
A clinical reference on metronidazole in dogs and cats: mechanism and spectrum, the randomised trials on acute diarrhoea, measured microbiome effects, the neurotoxicity dose-duration relationship, verbatim dosing, feline cautions, and stewardship-aligned alternatives.
Read →Famotidine in Dogs and Cats: A Clinical Reference
Famotidine works, modestly and briefly. A practising clinician's reference on where it sits versus omeprazole, the tachyphylaxis data in dogs and cats, the indications the evidence does not support, and when a PPI or nothing at all is the better call.
Read →Metoclopramide in Dogs and Cats: Antiemetic and Prokinetic Guide
A clinical reference on metoclopramide for dogs and cats: mechanism as a central D2 antiemetic and peripheral 5-HT4 prokinetic, verbatim intermittent and CRI dosing, indications for reflux and ileus, contraindications, adverse effects, and where it fits versus maropitant and ondansetron.
Read →Ferret Gastrointestinal Foreign Body: Diagnosis and Management
A clinical hub on ferret gastrointestinal foreign bodies: why young ferrets swallow rubber and older ferrets form trichobezoars, why vomiting is usually absent, diagnosis by palpation and imaging, when to operate, the prokinetic contraindication, and the concurrent-insulinoma hypoglycemia trap.
Read →Essential Oil Toxicosis in Cats: Susceptibility, Signs, and Treatment
A clinical reference on feline essential oil toxicosis: why deficient hepatic glucuronidation makes cats uniquely susceptible to phenols and terpenes, the higher-risk oils and product forms, route-specific signs, decontamination (why emesis is contraindicated), supportive care, and prognosis.
Read →Mirtazapine in Cats: Appetite Stimulant, Antiemetic & Dosing (Mirataz)
Clinical reference on mirtazapine for feline inappetence: the FDA-approved Mirataz transdermal dose, the Quimby-corrected extralabel oral regimen, CKD adjustment, efficacy data, adverse effects, serotonin-syndrome interactions, monitoring, and capromorelin as an alternative.
Read →Lead Toxicosis in Dogs: Diagnosis and Chelation Therapy
An ER/toxicology reference for lead poisoning in dogs (cats noted): sources, the combined GI-neurologic presentation, basophilic stippling and nRBCs, whole-blood lead thresholds, radiography, and the stabilize-remove GI lead-chelate sequence with exact CaEDTA, succimer, and D-penicillamine doses.
Read →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.
