Assessment of hypercoagulability in dogs with ischaemic cerebrovascular infarcts

Prevalence of intestinal nematodes in UK dogs and cats
This pilot study aims to gather initial information on the prevalence of intestinal worm infections in UK dogs and cats of different ages and in different settings (e.g. homes, kennels/catteries and shelters) to support risk-based deworming.
Assessing the effect of D-mannose on clinical outcome and microbiota composition in canine chronic inflammatory enteropathy
This prospective randomised clinical trial, funded by BSAVA PetSavers, is investigating a new supplement to treat chronic inflammatory gut conditions, that could significantly reduce the amount of antibiotics or steroids used.
Prospective trial of different antimicrobial treatment durations for presumptive canine urinary tract infections – the STOP on SUNDAY trial
Presentation of lower urinary tract signs (increased frequency of urination and straining to urinate) is a common reason for veterinary consultation in dogs. These signs can be caused by a urinary tract infection (UTI) that can be treated with antimicrobial therapy.
