Primary glaucomas are a leading cause of incurable vision loss in dogs. Based on their specific breed predilection, a genetic cause is suspected to be responsible, and affected dogs should be excluded from breeding. Despite the high prevalence of primary glaucomas in dogs, their genetics have been studied in only a small number of breeds. The identification of canine glaucoma disease genes, and the development of genetic tests, will help to avoid the breeding of affected dogs in the future and will allow for earlier diagnosis and potentially more effective therapy.

Development of retinal bullae in dogs with progressive retinal atrophy

Luis Felipe L. P. Marinho, Laurence M. Occelli, Mariza Bortolini, Kelian Sun, Paige A. Winkler, Fabiano Montiani-Ferreira, Simon M. Petersen-Jones

Summary: Focal bullous retinal detachments were observed in dogs with three distinct forms of progressive retinal atrophy. These lesions develop prior to retinal thinning and should be monitored in dogs with PRA. Gene augmentation therapy in CNGB1-mutant dogs may prevent formation of bullae.

Non-invasive optical coherence tomography angiography: A comparison with fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography in normal adult dogs and cats

Laurence M. Occelli, Chris G. Pirie, Simon M. Petersen-Jones

Summary: Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is a new non-invasive technique for evaluating retinal vasculature, providing more detailed information compared to traditional dye-based angiography. OCT-A can clearly demonstrate the anatomical depth of the imaged vessels. However, there are limitations and potential errors/artifacts associated with this technique that need to be considered.

Use of extended protocols with nonstandard stimuli to characterize rod and cone contributions to the canine electroretinogram

Nate Pasmanter, Laurence M. Occelli, Andras M. Komaromy, Simon M. Petersen-Jones

Summary: This study assessed different extended electroretinographic protocols to evaluate the contribution of retinal cells and characterize dogs with inherited retinal disease. The results showed that different stimuli could separate rod and cone responses, and the amplitudes varied with increasing background luminance. Extended flicker protocols were well fit with mathematical models in normal dogs. These protocols provide additional information on the health and function of retinal cells and allow quantifiable comparison between normal dogs and those with retinal disease.

Summary: This study reports the persistence of small, desensitized rod ERG responses in CNGB1 mutant dogs, which may be due to low levels of CNGA1 in outer segments.

Characterization of scotopic and mesopic rod signaling pathways in dogs using the On-Off electroretinogram

Nate Pasmanter, Simon M. M. Petersen-Jones

Summary: This study investigates the changes in rod pathways under different lighting conditions in dogs using a long flash protocol with varying background luminance and stimulus strength. The results show that the b-wave of rod response is significantly reduced in mesopic conditions, resulting in a predominantly negative waveform. Rod bipolar cells saturate with dimmer backgrounds than rod photoreceptors, contributing to a large underlying negativity in mesopic backgrounds. These findings highlight the changes in signaling pathway of rod-driven responses that extend the range of lighting conditions over which the retina functions.

Elevated retinal cGMP is not associated with elevated circulating cGMP levels in a canine model of retinitis pigmentosa

Laurence M. Occelli, Kelian Sun, Paige A. Winkler, Brandy J. Morgan, Simon M. Petersen-Jones

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether raised levels of retinal cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in PDE6A(-/-) dogs was reflected in plasma levels. The results showed that cGMP levels were significantly elevated in retinal samples of 2-month-old PDE6A(-/-) dogs, but there was no significant difference in plasma cGMP levels. Therefore, plasma cGMP levels may not be a useful biomarker for the disease at the 2-month timepoint.

Alternative splicing in CEP290 mutant cats results in a milder phenotype than LCACEP290 patients

Andrea L. Minella, Kristina Narfstrom Wiechel, Simon M. Petersen-Jones

Summary: Mutations in the CEP290 gene in rdAc cats lead to a truncation of the protein by 157 amino acids, resulting in a milder phenotype compared to human patients with CEP290 mutations. The retention of some full-length CEP290 protein in mutant cats may contribute to the less severe phenotype.

Preliminary characterization of a novel form of progressive retinal atrophy in the German Spitz dog associated with a frameshift mutation in GUCY2D

Mariza Bortolini, Paige A. Winkler, Juan Carlos Duque Moreno, Mario Teruo Sato, Bianca Luiza Valduga Guareschi, Simon M. Petersen-Jones, Fabiano Montiani-Ferreira

Summary: In this study, we identified a newly identified form of progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) in German Spitzes associated with a mutation in the GUCY2D gene. The initial clinical features included pale papilla and mild vascular attenuation, and the affected dogs showed impaired vision under both scotopic and photopic conditions. Fundus photography and optical coherence tomography revealed multiple small retinal bullae and retinal thinning. Pedigree analysis supported an autosomal recessive inheritance. A mutation was identified in the GUCY2D gene, which was found to be associated with the disease.

Veterinary Psychopharmacology

Leticia M. S. Dantas, Niwako Ogata

Summary: The stress response has a significant impact on the central nervous system and other systems in the body, contributing to chronic mental and behavioral pathologies as well as increasing the risk for other chronic inflammatory and metabolic diseases. Psychiatric treatments play a role in alleviating fear, stress, and anxiety and improving the quality of life and lifespan for dogs and cats. The availability of safe psychoactive medications allows for effective treatment options in veterinary patients. Clinicians should have a good understanding of the role neurotransmitters and hormones play in emotional processing, cognition, and behavior, as well as the mechanism of action of drugs to ensure appropriate medication selection for each individual patient.
