Abstract Objective To determine the effect of indocyanine green (ICG) dose and timing of administration on near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging of the normal canine biliary tree. Study design Preclinical prospective study. Animals Eight purpose-bred beagles. Methods The dogs were randomized to receive two of four intravenous ICG dose (low [L]:0.05 mg/kg or high [H]:0.25 mg/kg)/time (0 and 3 h prior to NIRF) combinations. NIRF images were collected every 10 min for 120 min.

Abstract Objective To determine whether 3 mm cup biopsy forceps (CBF) provide equivalent diagnostic samples to 5 mm CBF for histopathologic diagnosis, bacterial culture, and copper quantification. Study design Clinical prospective study. Animals Ten client-owned dogs, presenting for laparoscopic liver biopsy (LLB). Methods Dogs underwent LLB, and paired samples were collected using 3 and 5 mm CBF.
