Researchers will conduct a retrospective cohort study to evaluate associations between spay/neuter in dogs and subsequent overweight/obese body condition scores and subsequently analyze the relationship between spay/neuter and cranial cruciate ligament injuries.

Advanced glycation ends (AGEs) are proteins or lipids that bond to sugar molecules. These diet-related biomarkers are thought to be associated with aging and many degenerative diseases in people, including...

Researchers will calculate disease occurrence and risk factors for domestic and purebred cats using comprehensive pet insurance data to inform health promotion efforts.

Researchers will assess if housing shelter cats within a cat den (a commercially available cat housing product) provides usable, quiet places within a larger holding kennel, thereby reducing stress and improving time-to-adoption for these animals.

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a chronic contagious disease caused by Mycobacteria bovis (M. bovis) that can affect a wide range of mammals, including wildlife, livestock and humans. Several wildlife species...

Researchers will study the health and well-being of amphibian populations using epigenetics (molecular processes that control gene expression) as a potential new tool for amphibian conservation.

Researchers will develop a first-of-its-kind cell culture system to test a promising new drug to protect bats against white-nose syndrome, a serious and highly fatal fungal infection.

Researchers will develop an easy-to-use, rapid detection field test for chytrid, an infectious and often deadly disease in frogs and other amphibians.

Researchers will explore the use of a specific protein in the development of drug therapy for African horse sickness, a serious, and often fatal hemorrhagic disease of horses, mules and donkeys.

Researchers will use remote video and heart rate monitoring to assess discomfort behaviors before and after epidural pain treatment to improve patient care and pain management.
