Major crossmatch compatibility of rabbit blood with rabbit, canine, and feline blood

Dannemiller, N. G., Ozawa, S. M., Petritz, O. A., & Musulin, S. E. (2024, February 26). JOURNAL OF VETERINARY EMERGENCY AND CRITICAL CARE, Vol. 2.

author keywords: agglutination; blood transfusion; hemolysis; xenotransfusion; zoological medicine
topics (OpenAlex): Blood groups and transfusion; Blood transfusion and management; Diphtheria, Corynebacterium, and Tetanus
TL;DR: Findings support allogeneic blood transfusions between rabbits being highly compatible and suggest rabbits have naturally occurring alloantibodies against both canine and feline red blood cells, however, feline red blood cells had a lower rate of in vitro incompatibility on major crossmatch, suggesting potentially higher in vivo compatibility if an emergency xenotransfusion is needed.

Epidemiology of bacterial conjunctivitis in chinchillas (Chinchilla lanigera): 49 cases (2005 to 2015)

Journal of Small Animal Practice, 58(4), 238–245.

MeSH headings : Animals; Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Chinchilla; Conjunctivitis, Bacterial / epidemiology; Conjunctivitis, Bacterial / microbiology; Conjunctivitis, Bacterial / veterinary; Disease Susceptibility / veterinary; Female; Male; Retrospective Studies; Treatment Outcome
topics (OpenAlex): Ocular Infections and Treatments; Bacterial Identification and Susceptibility Testing; Antibiotics Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy
TL;DR: With the exception of duration of clinical signs, information on the anamnesis or physical examination findings cannot aid in distinguishing conjunctivitis caused by P. aeruginosa or other Gram-negative bacteria from the ones caused by Gram-positive bacteria. (via Semantic Scholar)

Stifle Disarticulation as a Pelvic Limb Amputation Technique in a Cockatiel ( Nymphicus hollandicus) and a Northern Cardinal ( Cardinalis cardinalis)

Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 31(1), 33–38.

By: S. Ozawa*  & C. Mans

author keywords: stifle disarticulation; amputation; orthopedic surgery; surgery; knee; avian
MeSH headings : Amputation, Surgical / methods; Amputation, Surgical / veterinary; Animals; Bird Diseases / surgery; Cockatoos; Hindlimb / surgery; Male; Songbirds
topics (OpenAlex): Prosthetics and Rehabilitation Robotics; Diabetic Foot Ulcer Assessment and Management; Orthopedic Infections and Treatments
TL;DR: The outcomes of these 2 cases suggest that stifle disarticulation may be used as an alternative to transfemoral amputation in birds where prolonged surgery, anesthesia, or patient size precludes traditional amputation techniques. (via Semantic Scholar)
