Surgical approach for tentorial meningiomas in cats: A review of six cases
The surgical technique for removal of tentorial meningiomas is described on six cats using a unilateral temporal supracerebellar transtentorial approach. Complete gross tumour resection was achieved in four of six cats. In one cat, only subtotal resection … -
Ageing changes in cat brains demonstrated by β-amyloid and AT8-immunoreactive phosphorylated tau deposits
The life expectancy of domestic pet cats is increasing, along with the occurrence of geriatric-onset behavioural problems, such as cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS). While the cause of CDS is unclear, it has been suggested that it may result from age-… -
Evaluation of a commercial in-house test kit for the semi-quantitative assessment of microalbuminuria in cats
Proteinuria was assessed in 100 randomly selected sick cats and 22 healthy cats by means of the urine protein:creatinine ratio, a traditional urine ‘dipstick’ and a commercial ELISA-based dipstick designed to detect microalbuminuria (MA) semi-… -
Effects of enalapril in cats with pressure overload-induced left ventricular hypertrophy
In order to evaluate the effect of enalapril on haemodynamics and renal function in a pressure overload model, we prepared eight feline models of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) by banding of the aortic arch. The LVH cats were … -

Interstitial nephritis in cats inoculated with Crandell Rees feline kidney cell lysates
Parenteral administration of Crandell Rees feline kidney (CRFK) cell lysates or feline herpesvirus 1, calicivirus, and panleukopenia virus-containing vaccines (FVRCP) grown on CRFK cells induces antibodies against CRFK cells. These antibodies also react … -
Isolation of feline herpesvirus-1 and feline calicivirus from healthy cats in Swedish breeding catteries
Feline calicivirus (FCV) could be isolated from four cats (2.6%) and feline herpesvirus-1 (FHV) from none of 152 clinically healthy cats from 22 Swedish breeding catteries. These cats had all previously shown signs of respiratory tract disease or … -
