01151: Molecular Basis of Tricuspid Valve Dysplasia
Background: Tricuspid valve dysplasia (TVD) in dogs involves defects of the tricuspid valve, which result in changing degrees of blood leakage between the chambers of the right side of the heart. Dogs with the most severe malformations usually develop right-sided congestive heart failure within the first few years of life. Many dogs are only mildly […]

01183: Measuring Ventilatory Responses to Heat Stress in Dogs
Dog lack extensive sweat glands and therefore rely on evaporative cooling through the respiratory mucous membranes for thermoregulation. This is a relatively inefficient means of dissipating metabolic heat due to the limited surface area that participates in thermoregulation. Thermoregulatory capacity is increased by increased air movement. Defects in a dog’s ability to increase air movement […]
02103-AT: A novel Th2-skewed vaccine against canine periodontitis
Eighty percent of dogs will experience some form of periodontal disease in their lifetime. Halitosis (bad breath) is a minor side effect of disease, but in its more severe form disease can cause gum inflammation, oral bone and tooth loss, all of which are painful and debilitating. Current treatment options include manual removal of plaque […]
