Cardiopet proBNP
by IDEXX (06/10/2009)
Cardiopet proBNP is a revolutionary new test for the diagnosis and early detection of canine and feline heart disease. Easily ordered with a chem/CBC panel or profile, the test measures the biomarker NTproBNP, a natriuretic hormone produced by cardiac muscle in response to increased wall stress. The Cardiopet proBNP Test can be used as a first-line diagnostic, with increased levels confirming the presence of heart disease and normal levels ruling out clinically significant cardiac disease. Key utilities of the test include:
• Determining the significance of a murmur or gallop rhythm in clinically healthy cats and dogs
• Screening for occult cardiomyopathy in cats
For more information on how to get started using the Cardiopet proBNP Test, please call 1-800-355-2896 or visit www.idexx.com/probnp.

Proviable™ for dogs and cats
by Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. (06/16/2008)
Proviable™ for dogs and cats - a line of veterinary-exclusive probiotic products to help naturally reestablish intestinal health. Proviable products are unique in that they are multi-strain probiotics with billions of probiotic microorganisms per daily administration. Proviable is available in two formulations: Proviable-KP paste containing probiotics, prebiotics, kaolin and pectin for the acute phase of gastrointestinal imbalance; and Proviable-DC capsules with probiotics and prebiotics for short-term and long-term intestinal health support. The paste and capsules are packaged together in convenient, easy to dispense, combination kits.
Probiotics are live microorganisms which when ingested in sufficient amounts beneficially affect the health of the host animal by improving intestinal microbial balance. Probiotics’ mechanisms of action include competing with pathogenic bacteria for gastrointestinal adhesion sites, helping to modulate the immune system at the local and systemic levels, and aiding with digestion of complex food molecules. Proviable products contain seven species of probiotics as well as two prebiotics, which are complex carbohydrates that act to stimulate the activity of the probiotics within the large intestine. Proviable-KP paste also contains kaolin and pectin to help aid with the normalization of intestinal function.
Proviable products can be used for a variety of gastrointestinal imbalances in both dogs and cats and are supplied in convenient combination kits that contain Proviable-KP paste in an easy to administer graduated tube and ten Proviable-DC capsules. Proviable-DC sprinkle capsules are also offered separately in an 80 count carton. Combination kits are available in two sizes: for cats and small dogs and for medium and large dogs. Veterinarians wishing to learn more about Proviable products can contact Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. at 1-800-925-5187.

Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. Launches Oxstrin® Optimized Feline
Edgewood, MD - Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. is proud to announce the launch of Oxstrin Optimized Feline, a veterinary-exclusive, comprehensive formula designed to support a cat’s antioxidant and nutritional systems. It contains a patented superoxide dismutase (SOD) complex, which up-regulates the production of the cat’s own primary antioxidants including SOD, catalase and glutathione peroxidase, in combination with an optimal blend of vitamins in order to help maintain oxidative balance and support overall health.
Elevated free radical levels and inadequate antioxidants have long been associated with increased body stress and the aging process. This oxidative stress may lead to alterations in lipids, proteins and cellular DNA. SOD, catalase and glutathione peroxidase are three key antioxidant enzymes that help maintain oxidative balance in cats. Supplementation with Oxstrin Optimized Feline not only up-regulates the production of these enzymes but also promotes health benefits by providing additional nutritional support with the inclusion of multiple vitamins. In a study of FIV positive cats, administration of the SOD complex in Oxstrin Optimized Feline appeared to have beneficial effects on several laboratory measures of oxidative stress associated with FIV infection.
Oxstrin Optimized’s patented SOD complex protects the SOD from gastric degradation, a common problem with oral SOD supplementation, and allows for its bioactivity within the cat’s gastrointestinal tract. “Oxstrin Optimized Feline represents a revolutionary product that provides veterinarians with the ability to not only manage oxidative stress but also to provide nutritional support with one product.” said Jennifer Kakel, DVM, Technical Services Veterinarian at Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. “Oxstrin Optimized Feline offers support for cats with retroviral exposure.”
Oxstrin Optimized Feline is supplied in capsule form in 42 count bottles. Veterinarians wishing to learn more about Oxstrin Optimized Feline can contact Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. at 1.800.925.5187.

Regenerative Cell Technology
by Vet-stem, Inc. (04/02/2008)
San Diego-based Vet-Stem, Inc. formed in 2002 to become the nation’s sole licensed company in fat-derived stem cell veterinary regenerative medicine. It processes Vet-Stem Regenerative Cells (VSRC) for the treatment of equines and canines suffering from a variety of tendon, ligament and joint injuries.

Since its creation, Vet-Stem has worked with hundreds of equine veterinarians to successfully treat more than 2,500 horses with VSRC therapy. In the case of equines, the procedure has seen a return to prior level of performance rate of 57 percent, 77 percent and 76 percent respectively in joint, tendon, and ligament injuries.
In 2005, Vet-Stem began working with select clinics in treating dogs with osteoarthritis and orthopedic soft tissue injuries and will nationally launch the small animal veterinary training program in early 2008.
Vet-Stem is a privately held company with a portfolio of intellectual property centered around Regenerative Veterinary Medicine.
