    This news item is about: Very few teaching hospitals are named after a pig — but the Nemo Farm Animal Hospital at Cornell is named for a very special former patient. Playful as a puppy even at 730 lbs., Nemo, a black and white Hampshire pig, became a porcine pioneer when lymphoma struck.

    2019 CVM News: Equine cryotherapy device proves effective in treating laminitis
    Office of Marketing and Communications. Media Relations (Cornell University. College of Veterinary Medicine, 2019-05-15)
    This news item is about: Laminitis is never a diagnosis horse owners want to hear. This inflammatory condition of the hoof can be crippling, and some horses may need to be euthanized due to the unrelenting pain. Now, researchers at the Cornell University College of Medicine have clinically proven that an off-the-shelf cryotherapy device is effective in treating equine laminitis. Joy Tomlinson, D.V.M. ’10, research associate in the Van De Walle Lab of the Baker Institute for Animal Health, was part of a team that confirmed that the commercially available and popular Jacks Ice Boot is clinically effective in treating laminitis. This research was included in the 2018 Kester News Hour at American Association of Equine Practitioners in 2018 as one of the year’s most important findings in equine medicine.

    2019 CVM News: Horse have a fever without cough, nasal discharge? Consider tick-borne disease
    Office of Marketing and Communications. Media Relations (Cornell University. College of Veterinary Medicine, 2019-05-15)
    This news item from Horse Magazine is about: When a horse spikes a fever without the nasal discharge, coughing, and other respiratory signs you’d expect to see with an infectious disease, the potential causes could be vast. In the Great Lakes region and eastern United States, which are the areas known to have the highest tick-borne-disease incidence in both human and animals, one suspect is tick-borne disease. To find out how prevalent tick-related fevers are in horses, Linda Mittel, MSPH, DVM, senior extension associate at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, in Ithaca, New York, studied causes of fever of unknown origin (FUO). She presented her results at the 2018 American Association of Equine Practitioners Convention, held Dec. 1-5 in San Francisco, California.
