Objectives
The present study aimed to determine the evolution of the percentage of overweight and obese cats during the COVID-19 pandemic in France, and to identify factors associated with excess weight to inform the development of targeted prevention strategies.
Methods
Cat owners visiting the veterinary hospitals of Maisons-Alfort and Toulouse b...
With advancements in veterinary care and the growing recognition of pets as integral member of the family, the lifespans of dogs and cats have significantly increased, leading to a higher prevalence of age-related conditions, including cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS). CDS adversely impacts pets’ quality of life and presents emotional and pract...
Background
As dogs age, they face various health challenges, and preventive care may be overlooked, impacting their quality of life. Frailty, a concept established in human medicine, has recently been applied to dogs using validated tools like the frailty index and frailty phenotype. This study aims to characterize frailty in senior pet dogs and in...
This study aimed to assess the French version of the Lexington Attachment to Pets Scale (LAPS) and to explore the factors influencing the attachment between French pet owners and their cats and dogs. Given the absence of a French tool to evaluate pet attachment, LAPS was translated into French using a rigorous back-translation method. An online sur...
Le rumen, premier pré-estomac des ruminants, permet de répondre aux trois premiers principes de l’agroécologie :
Développer des pratiques de gestion intégrée pour améliorer la santé animale : du fait de sa production d’énergie, d’acides aminés et de vitamines B, et sa capacité de détoxification, le microbiote ruminal joue un rôle crucial dans la sa...

Many pet owners struggle with managing their pets’ weight, and they often underestimate their pets’ body condition. This study, held in France from 2020 to 2022, revealed that about one quarter o...
In 2020, the official veterinarian of the slaughterhouse in Aurillac, France, observed numerous ruminal lesions, mostly attributed to rumenitis, in cattle from a grassland system. Rumenitis is often secondary to subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA), which is commonly observed in cattle fed high-concentrate diets [1]. However, grazing cattle can also de...
Ruminal microbiota of sheep is being studied to evaluate its impact on animals' energy balances in early lactation stage. The establishment of ruminotypes could be a useful tool to summarize the large dataset of ruminal microbiota abundances. The feasibility of directional selection of gut microbiota enterotypes has been demonstrated in pigs, provi...
The present report describes two novel cases of suspected intoxication with Galega officinalis in a 6- and 21-year-old Arabian mares displaying acute respiratory signs. Both animals showed signs of pulmonary edema at physical examination, with the oldest of the two also manifesting severe dyspnea and foamy nasal discharge. The mares were grazing on...
