Our findings suggest a higher rate of E. coli resistance to third generation cephalosporins is found in canine patients compared to human pediatric patients. While this difference could be due to differences in Of the feline fecal flotation tests performed, 3,949 (0.13%) were positive for the presence of A. abstrusus larvae. In addition, 65 (2.3%) of the Baermann tests conducted were also positive. As reported in other studies, age was a significant risk factor with cats 1 to 12 months having a relative risk of 5.72 (95% confidence interval: 5.30-6.18, P < 0.0001) compared to cats older than 12 months. In contrast, there was no association observed between infection status and sex. Significant variation in Overall 5.0%, 6.8%, and 3.9% of sera were ELISA reactive to The results to date suggest that dogs with primary exposure to this dose and strain of H3N2 will be contagious for up to 5 days. The goal of this study was to evaluate the indications, dosing, potential adverse effects, and survival to discharge in dogs and cats treated with vancomycin. An additional goal was to evaluate if vancomycin treatment was based on current recommendations and best practices.
