Canine babesiosis, caused by Babesia gibsoni, is one of the most common and devastating tick-borne diseases in dogs, particularly in Asia. The tropical marine climate in Taiwan provides an ideal environment for tick infestation, making it a significant problem for dogs in that region. Despite being a prevalent disease, there is no known cure for all animals diagnosed with babesiosis. Moreover, most of the treatment drugs are not approved for use by the Taiwanese government, making it a challenge for veterinarians to treat dogs infected with B. gibsoni. However, in this lecture, we will introduce a safe and effective treatment regimen consisting of Clindamycin, Doxycycline, and Metronidazole, along with an in-house PCR diagnostic tool to easily diagnose Canine Babesiosis. |

| Feline Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) & Blood Screening: |
|
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common condition diagnosed in older cats, with the incidence rate ranging from 31% to 50%. Fortunately, new testing options are now available to diagnose and intervene earlier in the disease process. However, to ensure timely and appropriate intervention, a combination of screening and confirmatory procedures are necessary for a CKD diagnosis. |
|
COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT An annual blood screen is recommended, which includes a complete blood count and chemistry profile with electrolytes. The complete blood count helps detect anemia, which is commonly mild and nonregenerative with CKD. Once overt signs of CKD are present, varying degrees of hyperphosphatemia and azotemia (increased blood urea nitrogen [BUN] and creatinine) will be detected. |
|
SYMMETRIC DIMETHYLARGININE (SDMA) Symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) is another means of measuring renal function in cats like serum creatinine concentrations and glomerular filtration rate. Serum SDMA concentrations are inversely proportional to glomerular filtration rate, and may move out of the reference range before serum creatinine concentrations are increased. Thus, measuring SDMA may allow earlier detection of renal disease. Although SDMA testing can be a complementary tool for CKD diagnosis, a single abnormal result does not confirm CKD, and it should not be substituted for urinalysis and other diagnostic procedures. SDMA levels can fluctuate from day to day, and can be affected by factors such as hydration, diet, toxin ingestion, or medication use. Therefore, it's important to view SDMA findings within the context of the entire clinical picture. In case the SDMA concentration is the only finding suggestive of CKD, it's recommended to re-test within 1 to 3 months to confirm repeatability.
