Claims (C1 — verbatim substrings of source_file)
- PMID 41017078 — Progression of lipase activity and pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity in clinically healthy cats and cats with diet-responsive enteropathy (J Feline Med Surg, 2025). Abstract (opening): ObjectivesThe aim of the present study was to describe the course of lipase activity, pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity (PLI) and clinical findings over time in cats.MethodsFour clinically healthy cats and two diarrhoeic cats from a research colony aged 2-8 years with normal haematology and serum biochemistry results were followed up with lipase measurements over a total of 12 months in this descriptive study. Lipase activity (LIPCRoche;
- PMID 42256055 — Acute vitamin D toxicosis in an adult cat (JFMS Open Rep, 2026). Abstract (opening): CASE SUMMARY: A 4-year-old, female spayed domestic shorthair cat was presented to the Michigan State University emergency service for evaluation of vomiting 4 days after exposure to vitamin D supplements. On intake, the patient was found to have ionized hypercalcemia and azotemia.
- PMID 41369075 — Guidelines for nutritional management of feline diabetes mellitus: a proposed classification system integrating medical considerations (J Feline Med Surg, 2026). Abstract (opening): The management of diabetes mellitus (DM) in cats can benefit from an integration of medical and nutritional strategies, based on an understanding of the dynamic nature of the disease, together with an appreciation of the interrelationships between nutritional status and clinical status. In this context, a new classification system for feline DM is proposed, comprising three clinical status categories: those at risk of developing DM, those with clinical DM and those in diabetic remission.
- PMID 42071970 — Overweight and Obesity in Dogs and Cats: An Exploration of Animal Welfare and Behaviour Impacts, and Recommendations for Management in Veterinary Primary Care (Animals (Basel), 2026). Abstract (opening): Overweight and obesity are prevalent among companion dogs and cats in the Western world. Affected animals are at risk of comorbidities and reduced longevity.
- PMID 41992442 — Gastrointestinal microbiota and fecal fatty acids of cats with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (J Feline Med Surg, 2026). Abstract (opening): ObjectivesThe aim of the present study was to identify differences in fecal analytes (ie, microbiota, fatty acids [FAs]) in cats with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) compared with healthy controls, and describe clinical signs at baseline and short-term follow-up.MethodsA cross-sectional, observational study was conducted of 55 client-owned cats with EPI and 37 healthy client-owned blood donor control cats. Eligible cases had a feline trypsin-like immunoreactivity (fTLI) consistent with EPI.
- PMID 42213695 — Effect of dietary Ca:P ratio on ionized calcium and calcium homeostasis in cats with early-stage chronic kidney disease (PLoS One, 2026). Abstract (opening): The aim of the study was to compare two renal foods with different Ca:P ratios on manifestation of hypercalcemia and regulation of calcium homeostasis in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Nine cats (11.0 ± 2.0 y) with naturally-occurring IRIS Stage I or II CKD were fed a senior wellness food for 28-days, then randomized into two groups and fed either a food providing 1.8 g/Mcal Ca, 1.3 g/Mcal P, and Ca:P ratio of 1.4:1 (MOD-Ca:P), or a food providing 2.4 g/Mcal Ca, 1.3 g/Mcal P, and Ca:P ratio of 1.8:1 (HIGH-Ca:P) for 56 days.
