Treatment duration for pneumonia in dogs and cats, a systematic review (Emdin et al 2025) Not surprisingly, data were limited. Not surprisingly, shorter durations (10-14d) appear to be equivalent to longer durations (21-28d) in dogs (no data for cats). 1/n

Just a reminder from your friendly neighborhood veterinary nephrologists- lily plants are LETHAL to cats! All parts (flowers, pollen, leaves, stem) contain a toxin that causes severe acute kidney injury. Please keep them out of the house and ask florists to post warnings on bouquets containing them.

Our case report of urinary bladder carcinoma causing hemorrhagic shock in a cat is now published. Check out the supplemental videos- cystoscopic Bugbee cauterization of the lesions! #veturo journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Check out Dr Dennis Slade's lecture this afternoon on updates in feline CKD today at #NYVet! We have a couple of clinical trials ongoing at AMC for cats with CKD #vetsky #vetneph www.amcny.org/current-clin...

Please warn pet owners if you prescribe chewable apoquel to a dog and they have a cat in the home too! There are reports of cats getting into these pork flavored tablets and resulting in severe illness (AKI, neurotoxicity, hypotension) and death. Even a few tablets can be a major issue #VetSky

My daughter got "Good Dog, Carl" for her first birthday. I started reading it to her, and then promptly had to explain to her that grapes are nephrotoxic to dogs! Don't let your kids feed the dog grapes! #vetneph

SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduce anemia prevalence and related hospitalizations in type 2 diabetes patients compared to DPP4 inhibitors. by Steinmetz T, Goldman S (...) Zvi BR et 9 al. in J Clin Endocrinol Metab #MedSky 📖 read the article:

Salt for thought: This may be relevant in our veterinary patients too, where slower correction means prolonged hospitalization times - associated increased cost to pet owners can lead to worse outcomes and patient mortality.

@kidneyboy.bsky.social do you have any more flozinator pins? Would love to get some to give out to some #vetneph colleagues

Thanks for sharing your salt and water knowledge with us today @melhoenig.bsky.social! Wonderful case discussion

Kt/V is a zombie. It can't be killed. Trial after trial shows it to not be helpful in improving outcomes but still we dutifully tune our patients treatment by it. How can we escape urea clearance? #NephJC

What is your go-to immunosuppressive protocol for a suspected immune-mediated GN (absent a biopsy diagnosis) with rapidly progressive azotemia and massive proteinuria? Pred/MMF Pred/CTX Other? #vetsky

Sodium and water balance question! #vetsky #askrenal We had a dog with stage 3, proteinuric CKD come in for an acute worsening of azotemia. The dog's Na historically had been normal, around 140-145. When he presented the Na was 151 and Cr 6.5, up from 3.9 in June.

Happy Friday! Prototypes are here. Thanks @pandagm.com for the wonderful quality and customer support! #boardgames #PAXUnplugged Booth 3309

Excited to see a growing veterinary community here! Let's utilize this platform to learn from one another #vetsky
