Tailored nutrition plans for breeding cats The health and nutrition of a mother are crucial for the growth and development of her litter during gestation, birth, and the first few weeks of life. To ensure the best outcome for both mother and offspring, the female should only be bred with complete prophylaxis when she is […]

Cryosurgery in Veterinary surgery and ophthalmology. Cold temperatures have been used and known for therapeutic and health purposes since Homer and Hippocrates. It developed in the second half of the 20th century, with the industrialisation of liquid air and liquid nitrogen production. In the years following, the knowledge of the cellular response to freezing allowed […]
OCT, or optical coherence tomography, is based on optical interferometry. It uses a laser (light at a specific wavelength) to analyse the different layers of the cornea, the iridocorneal angle, and the retina at the micron scale. OCT allows accurate diagnoses of the cornea (ulcer, dystrophy, keratitis, etc.), glaucoma (iridocorneal angle), and the retina (analyses […]
Cyclophotocoagulation of ciliary bodies in the treatment of glaucoma This medical procedure involves the partial destruction of certain ciliary structures responsible for producing eye fluid. The goal is to reduce intraocular pressure and reduce the discomfort associated with chronic glaucoma. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia using a laser probe to target the outer […]
The treatment known as Cross-Linking Vet CLX is an innovative method for treating corneal collagen. It involves using covalent bonds created through exposure to UVA light at 365 nm after applying a riboflavin solution. This process increases the number of bindings and results in a 300% increase in the biomechanical stiffness of the cornea, making […]
What is electroretinography? Electroretinography is an eye exam that evaluates the retina's function by measuring tiny electrical impulses generated when light reaches it. This is done using specialised electrodes in the form of a contact lens. Electroretinography can help diagnose various causes of eye problems by detecting retinal lesions early on. Does the exam require […]
The pupil is at the centre of the Iris, it is a hole that lets light pass through to reach the retina. The pupil size can vary, with dilation referred to as mydriasis and contraction as myosis. In the past, it was believed that this reflex was primarily caused by retinal cells, such as cones […]
Eye Ultrasound: What is it for? An eye ultrasound is a diagnostic procedure that uses ultrasound technology to examine the eyeball and orbit, even if there is a loss of transparency of the media. This helps to visualise the iris, crystalline lens, retina, and other parts of the eye, especially in cases where there is […]
An anaesthetic is a drug that can be administered by intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SC) injection, by infusion into the veins (intravenous IV ), or by inhalation following intubation (tube in the trachea). General anaesthesia prevents the animal from moving, feeling pain, or being conscious. They are unaware of their surgery. Loco-regional anaesthesia is a […]

A clinical examination will verify that your pet's condition is compatible with anaesthesia […]
Ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses inaudible sound waves to visualise the inside of the body. The ultrasound system consists of a probe that emits and receives ultrasound (called a transducer) and a video monitor. The frequency at which the ultrasonic signal is emitted depends on the depth of the organs within the […]
