…ne into the peritoneal cavity.8 Data from some reports question this association, however, and proposed that intestinal migration of foreign bodies may also be involved.5,7 Fecal flotation and fecal egg count were not done in this horse and no foreign bodies were identified on rectal palpation or abdominal ultrasound. Therefore, the potential inciting cause for the Actinobacillus peritonitis in this case could not be determined. Although uncommon…
…in multiple breeds and both sexes. The tumors arise in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue of the upper extremities, particularly the hind legs, but can also be seen on the thorax, flank, abdomen, neck and head. They are rare tumors in the horse (albeit the most common tumor occurring on the limbs1) and usually form locally infiltrative single or multinodular masses.2-9 Most of the tumors are associated with hemorrhage, with many hemosiderin-laden…

The myeloid to erythroid ratio was 1.3:1; however, this was in a marrow were only 7% consisted of residual hematopoietic tissue. A few hemosiderin-laden macrophages (Figure 5) and small dark-brown iron deposits were scattered throughout. Protein crescents were noted and, in certain areas of the smears, the background appeared…

…creased peripheral white blood cell count and pleural effusion detected by the primary veterinarian. Prior to presentation at Cornell, the primary veterinarian had removed approximately 300 mL of fluid from both sides of the chest. At presentation, the dog was quiet, alert, responsive, and tachypneic (44 bpm) with shallow breaths. Lung sounds were slightly decreased ventrally, compatible with an effusion. Thoracic radiographs confirmed a pleural…

Discussion In human medicine, eosinophilia (defined as > 0.5 x 103/µL eosinophils) has been split into three categories: Reactive, clonal, and idiopathic.3 Reactive eosinophilia occurs in response to an underlying cause, such as infectious agents…
…(PCR) assay. The IFA is considered the reference standard by some parasitologists, but a disadvantage to this test is the necessity for specialized equipment. While multiple ELISAs are available commercially to detect Giardia cysts in feces, they should be supplemental to fecal flotation and wet mount evaluation. PCR testing is generally used to characterize the assemblages of Giardia duodenalis found in dogs and cats.7 Treatment for giardiasis…
