Demographic studies of owned dogs in the Northern Peninsula Area, Australia, to inform population and disease management strategies
ConclusionThis study demonstrated that most of the dog population in the NPA is free ‐roaming and that the population has increased, likely because of a lack of population management strategies such as sterilisation. This information will be used to develop population and disease management strategies in the NPA. (Source: Australian Veterinary Journal)

Animal welfare implications of treating wildlife in Australian veterinary practices
ConclusionPrivate veterinary practices play a more significant role in wildlife treatment than has been previously thought. The effect of perceived barriers on willingness to treat wildlife requires further research. Further investigation into educational resources to aid veterinary assessment of wildlife should also be considered. (Source: Australian Veterinary Journal)

Metronidazole ‐induced neurotoxicity in 26 dogs
ConclusionsWe found evidence of neurotoxicity in dogs at much lower doses than previously reported and we suggest caution when administering metronidazole at doses>  40 mg/kg every 24 h, regardless of the duration of the treatment. (Source: Australian Veterinary Journal)

Lomustine chemotherapy for the treatment of presumptive haemophagocytic histiocytic sarcoma in Flat ‐coated Retrievers
ConclusionsHPHS affecting FCRs appears to have a uniformly poor outcome and is rapidly fatal. Lomustine chemotherapy was unsuccessful in significantly improving outcome in this cohort of patients. Further study of this rare and devastating disease is needed. (Source: Australian Veterinary Journal)

Postoperative healing and behaviour when surgical swabs are applied to calf dehorning wounds
ConclusionThe application of gauze swabs to dehorning wounds advanced healing, reduced the incidence of haemorrhage and secondary infections, and may reduce deaths. Efficacy is expected to improve if high rates of 24 ‐h retention of patches can be achieved. The prolonged time to healing and the pain‐associated behaviours highlight the need for better welfare of dehorned calves through improvements in analgesia, surgical procedures and post‐surgical care.
