“…Interestingly, in 1 study, 15 only 9 of 200 recipes met AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult maintenance; these 9 included the only 4 diets formulated by board-certified veterinary nutritionists. Data from multiple case reports 4,7,8,20,21 and the authors' clinical experience would suggest that improperly prepared home-prepared diets can rapidly lead to developmental abnormalities in growing dogs. The data in the present study underscore the importance of obtaining a recipe from a qualified source, keeping the recipe updated, and strictly adhering to the recipe when a breeder is unwilling to feed a nutritionally adequate commercial diet.…”

“…The strategic implementation of early enteral nutrition, administered shortly after surgery, serves as a proactive measure to counteract the adverse effects of prolonged fasting [ 5 ]. This approach aims to address issues like muscle loss, immunosuppression, and delayed wound healing by supplying essential nutrients early in the postoperative phase [ 5 , 6 ].…”

Introduction: Intestinal anastomosis is a surgical procedure crucial for restoring the integrity of the digestive system and finds widespread application in addressing diverse gastrointestinal disorders such as tumors, inflammatory conditions, and traumatic injuries. The timing of restarting feeding after the surgery is a debated topic due to its potential impact on patient recovery. Early enteral feeding, administered soon after surgery, aims to counteract the negative effects of prolonged fasting and improve outcomes. Objective: This study analyzed the early and late enteral feeding following gastrointestinal anastomosis surgery. Methods: Forty patients undergoing abdominal surgery were prospectively randomized into early or late feeding groups. Demographics, laboratory values, operative time, blood loss, transfusion rates, nasogastric tube (NGT) removal, hospital stay, gastrointestinal recovery, postoperative body mass index (BMI), and complications were compared. Data was organized in Excel and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, IBM Corp., Version 27.0, Armonk, NY). Qualitative data were presented with numbers and percentages, while parametric quantitative data used means, standard deviations, and ranges. Non-parametric quantitative data were represented with medians and interquartile ranges. Chi-square tests were used for comparing two qualitative groups with predicted counts less than 5, while independent t-tests and Mann-Whitney tests were employed for comparing two quantitative groups with parametric and non-parametric distributions, respectively. The analysis used a 95% confidence interval, a 5% margin of error, and considered P values less than 0.05 as significant. Results: Early feeding was associated with significantly shorter NGT removal times (p=0.005) and hospital stays (p=0.001) than late feeding. Postprandial potassium levels were higher in the early group (p=0.007), while CRP levels were significantly lower (p=0.004). No significant differences were found in operative time, blood loss, transfusion rates, gastrointestinal recovery, postoperative BMI, or complication rates between groups. Conclusions: Early enteral feeding appears safe and effective after gastrointestinal anastomosis surgery, potentially reducing hospital stay and improving inflammatory markers without increasing adverse events.

“…Zinc is an essential trace mineral for both dogs and cats and is the second most common biometal in the body 1,2 . Daily nutrition requirements are currently set at 15 mg/1000 kcal metabolizable energy (ME) (1.0 mg/kg body weight per day) for adult dogs, 25 mg/1000 kcal ME (4.5 mg/kg/day) for puppies, but <100 mg/1000 kcal ME (18 mg/kg/day) for dogs and cats per day 1–3 . Normal serum zinc concentration is reported as 0.7–2.0 ppm.…”

ObjectiveTo describe the overall clinical course of zinc toxicosis in dogs including source, time to source control, incidence of hemolytic anemia, acute liver injury (ALI), acute kidney injury (AKI), and pancreatitis.DesignRetrospective case series from 2005 to 2021.SettingSix university veterinary teaching hospitals.AnimalsFifty‐five client‐owned dogs with known zinc toxicosis due to metallic foreign body (MFB) ingestion.Measurements and Main ResultsThe most common source of zinc was US pennies minted after 1982 (67.3%). Forty‐five of 55 (81.8%) dogs survived and 10 of 55 (18.2%) died or were euthanized. Median length of hospitalization for survivors and nonsurvivors was 3 days. The most common clinical sequelae of zinc toxicosis were anemia (87%), ALI (82%), coagulopathy (71%), thrombocytopenia (30.5%), AKI (26.9%), and acute pancreatitis (5.5%). Most dogs (67.3%) required blood products and 83% of dogs achieved a stable HCT or PCV in a median of 24 hours after MFB removal. The median duration of illness prior to presentation was 48 hours for both survivors and nonsurvivors and there was no impact of time to presentation on the incidence of ALI, AKI, or pancreatitis.ConclusionsZinc toxicosis secondary to MFB ingestion should be considered a differential diagnosis for dogs with gastrointestinal signs, hemolytic anemia, ALI, hemostatic abnormalities, AKI, and pancreatitis. AKI may be a more common sequela of zinc toxicosis than previously suspected. Acute pancreatitis is a rare but potentially serious sequela to zinc toxicosis.
