When a patient presents in status epilepticus, you know stopping the seizure activity is your top priority. But neuronal changes in these patients often result in the downregulation of GABA receptors, meaning the usual arsenal of GABAergic agents such as phenobarbital and propofol won’t have the efficacy you need. A new study reports on three cases of dogs with super-refractory status epilepticus that were treated with a novel combination of ketamine, dexmedetomidine, and controlled hypothermia, and discusses why and how well it worked.

Learn the science behind this novel approach to refractory cases of status epilepticus to find how and when you can implement it in your clinic.

A recent study showed a correlation between severity of hypertension and ocular lesions in cats. Can a fundic examination aid in identifying suboptimal responses to antihypertensive therapy?

In this study, increased body weight was associated with higher rates of surgical site infections in dogs undergoing lateral fabellotibial nylon suture repair. What other variables might play a role?
