Randomized Controlled TrialUse of lispro insulin for treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis in dogs.
To characterize the use of lispro insulin in dogs with diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA) and to compare the length of time required for resolution of hyperglycemia, ketosis, and acidosis, respectively, in dogs with DKA treated with lispro or with regular insulin. ⋯ Treatment of DKA in dogs with IV CRI lispro insulin is safe, and as effective as treatment with regular insulin.

Randomized Controlled TrialA comparison of 3 anesthetic protocols for 24 hours of mechanical ventilation in cats.
To compare the recovery times, recovery quality, and cardiovascular (CV) effects of 3 anesthetic protocols during 24 hours of mechanical ventilation (MV) in healthy cats. ⋯ Cats anesthetized with P had shorter times to full recovery compared to K. Cats anesthetized with K required fewer interventions for bradycardia or hypotension but had longer recovery times compared to P or PK. Protocol PK reduced the propofol dose required to maintain optimal anesthesia.
