Great posters on summer research from @uwvetmed DVM students today! First up, Krista Li with her @ksufleateam results: URI symptoms in owned cats are not worse in homes w high #flea burden (and, happily, no #SARSCoV2 in cats around Tampa FL area this summer!)

Today's #SAIMjournalclub: paper that confirms MY intuition, but contradicts clinical experience of neurologists at @uwvetmed...strange coincidence of case selection bias here vs there?

@VCCISvets @Bristol_Vets @VetCompass Aack ditto SO FEW cases are ACTUALLY FUOs.
More like F-IDidntReallyLookForAn-O,
or F-WentAwayWithAbx-O!
But nothing gets me intrigued like a TRUE FUO workup.

[Erin Lashnits @splashnits]

For #SAIMjournalclub this AM, we put a recent epi study of fever in juvenile dogs (thx @Bristol_Vets) in context with other epi studies of fever in dogs.

Now we need this study in 1st opinion practice...must be SO different from the referral population. A job for @VetCompass?!

@stephenrdoyle Yep I’ve wondered about this with fleas! You often see Ctenocephalides felis = Ct. felis. But in my own manuscripts I’ve always just written it as standard C. felis and no one (aka no reviewer) seems to mind. 🤷‍♀️
