Canadian veterinarians’ use of analgesics in cattle, pigs, and horses in 2004 and 2005.
The Canadian veterinary journal = La revue veterinaire canadienne
March 6, 2007
Volume 48, Issue 2 155-164 doi: 10.4141/cjas68-021
Hewson CJ, Dohoo IR, Lemke KA, Barkema HW.Anecdotal evidence suggests that many veterinarians may not use analgesics in livestock for routine surgical procedures or painful disease states. To investigate this, we conducted a national mail survey of a random sample of 1431 Canadian veterinarians (response rate, 50.1%). Questions primarily concerned veterinarians' analgesic usage for common surgeries and medical conditions in beef and dairy cattle, pigs, and horses, and attitudes toward pain management. More than 90% of veterinarians used analgesic drugs for equine surgeries, for cesarean section in sows and cows, and for bovine claw am... Read More

Management factors affecting stereotypies and body condition score in nonracing horses in Prince Edward Island.
The Canadian veterinary journal = La revue veterinaire canadienne
April 4, 2006
Volume 47, Issue 2 136-143
Christie JL, Hewson CJ, Riley CB, McNiven MA, Dohoo IR, Bate LA.In North America, there are few representative data about the effects of management practices on equine welfare. In a randomized survey of 312 nonracing horses in Prince Edward Island (response rate 68.4%), owners completed a pretested questionnaire and a veterinarian examined each horse. Regression analyses identified factors affecting 2 welfare markers: body condition score (BCS) and stereotypic behavior. Horses' BCSs were high (mean 5.7, on a 9-point scale) and were associated with sex (males had lower BCSs than females; P < 0.001) and examination date (P = 0.052). Prevalences of crib bi... Read More

December 7, 2007
Volume 48, Issue 11 1137-1145
Epp T, Waldner C, West K, Townsend H.In 2003, the occurrence and location of horses with clinical signs of West Nile virus infection were identified in the southern portion of Saskatchewan with the help of veterinarians, owners, and the regional laboratory. A total of 133 clinical cases were reported between July 30 and September 19, 2003; however, postseason surveillance suggests that the number of cases was underestimated. The case fatality rate was 43.8% (95% CI 35.2, 52.4). Factors associated with fatality in clinical cases included sex, week of onset of clinical signs, and coat color. Reported clinical cases clustered within... Read More

Equine gastrointestinal motility–ileus and pharmacological modification.
The Canadian veterinary journal = La revue veterinaire canadienne
July 1, 2006
Volume 47, Issue 6 551-559
Koenig J, Cote N.Colic is a common problem encountered in equine practice. Alteration of gastrointestinal motility is often the underlying cause for abdominal pain. Gastrointestinal motility can be measured as myoelectric activity, mechanical activity, and transit of intraluminal contents. Regulation of motility is based on a complex interaction between central innervation, autonomic innervation, and the enteric nervous system. Various humoral and neurochemical substances are required to interact flawlessly to allow propulsive motility. Ileus is defined as the absence of propulsive aboral movement of gastroint... Read More
