Join us at the 🐮 AABP 2024 🐮 in Columbus, Ohio on September 13th! Dr. Luis Feitoza will be presenting the study done on Butterfly’s iQ+ Vet which demonstrates the practical application of chuteside diagnostics in improving prognostic accuracy for feedlot cattle with chronic pneumonia.
Key findings:
🌟 Significant associations between B-line count, B-line area, and the presence of the Moth Sign with negative outcomes.
🌟These parameters help differentiate between recoverable and non-recoverable animals at the time of treatment.
🌟Strategic use of lung ultrasound enhances prognosis accuracy
🌟Utilizing lung ultrasound at the chute-side can provide critical information for making informed management decisions.
This work highlights the importance of precise diagnostics in enhancing cattle health. Looking forward to engaging with fellow practitioners and researchers at the conference!

POCUS in Education - Butterfly joins AAEVT at Spy Coast Farm!
Butterfly iQ+ Vet was pleased to sponsor an ultrasound wet lab at the sold out AAEVT imaging-focused event on August 23rd. Hosted by American Association of Equine Veterinary Technicians at Spy Coast Farm’s Equine Education Center in the heart of horse country in Lexington, Kentucky, equine veterinary technicians participated in learning through lectures and hands-on labs for a full array of imaging-focused topics. Equine veterinarian and surgeon Dan Dreyfuss presented a short lecture on identification of the suspensory ligament, and led the POCUS lab that followed using Butterfly iQ+ Vet. +vet

Butterfly iQ+ Vet at EVECCS 2024
Butterfly was pleased to sponsor the *sold out* Local Nerve Block & Vascular Access POCUS Lab at the 21st EVECCS Congress in Gothenburg, Sweden. Led by veterinarians Søren Boysen and Angela Briganti and assisted by veterinarians Julie Menard, Chiara DiFranco, Andrea Armenise & Hugo Swanstein, attendees were trained in these ECC procedures utilizing the new Nerve preset on Butterfly iQ+ Vet. They were also able to see the Teleguidance feature in action for the procedure demonstrations. Thanks to and for lending an extra set of hands, and for EVECCS for producing another excellent Congress.

🐮 New Research Alert! Evaluation of Strategic Chute-side Point-of-Care Ultrasonography Viability for Identification of Interstitial Pneumonia.
Thrilled to have Dr. Luis Feitoza present his research at the AVC (Academy of Veterinary Consultants) in Denver on August 9th! The research highlights the practical applications of chute-side diagnostics in predicting 60-day outcomes for feedlot cattle with respiratory disease.
Key insights:
🌟Significant associations between ultrasound lung scores and treatment outcomes.
🌟Cattle with higher lung scores (ULS 5) are more likely to experience treatment failure and not finish the feeding phase.
🌟Identifying these prognostic parameters helps improve animal welfare and antimicrobial stewardship.
🌟 Ultrasound lung scores and body weight are significant predictors of treatment success.
🌟Pulmonary ultrasound, combined with demographic factors, can enhance prognostic accuracy and inform better management practices.
This work underscores the importance of precise diagnostics in improving cattle health and welfare. Follow us to learn more about POCUS in Cattle!

Ultrasound in cattle.🐄 Not just for preg checks anymore.
Listen in as the folks from BCI discuss new use cases in the cattle industry for the affordable, portable, durable ultrasound equipment of today. Listen here: 3zMAUPK@ksubci" rel="ugc" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/3zMAUPK@ksubci

Dr. Luis Feitoza presented the study on chute-side ultrasonography at the ACVIM 2024 in Minneapolis! The research collected on a Butterfly iQ+ Vet demonstrates the potential of using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to better identify interstitial pneumonia in feedlot cattle.
Key takeaways:
POCUS variables like B-line count, ultrasound lung score, and A-line count are statistically significant in diagnosing interstitial pneumonia.
This technology could greatly enhance disease differentiation and inform more precise treatment strategies.
Our findings support the future application of chute-side ultrasonography in feedlot management.
Excited about the potential impact on cattle health!

The Fear Free POCUS Guidelines are here! The contemporary use of ultrasound in veterinary medicine has evolved from its inception solely as a referral tool for use by specialty veterinarians to a practical and useful diagnostic tool in general practice and emergency medicine. https://bit.ly/3LtLY6M

POCUS in Housecall Practice:

Housecall veterinarians are always looking for ways to make the POCUS exam experience more pleasant for all pets! The wrap is comfortable and stress reducing for most examinations, diagnostics, and treatments. It helps to calm wiggly Frenchies as well as fluffy Domestic Longhairs. Consider adding it to your housecall POCUS exam protocol for a seamless experience.

POCUS in Practice → iQ+ Vet in Alaska

Clinic Name: PAC Veterinary Services, LLC
Clinician: Dr. Millman

Case description: Pregnancy check on Alaskan Husky sled dog. This 8 year old intact female Husky was bred 25 days prior to exam. I was able to perform a pregnancy ultrasound check in the home where the dog was calm and comfortable.

Veterinarian's comments: The Butterfly provides great images and allows me to confidently confirm if a patient is pregnant (or not, as in this case). The system is small and lightweight making it perfect to take on the road.

POCUS in Practice → iQ+ Vet in Alaska:

Clinic Name: PAC Veterinary Services, LLC
Clinician: Dr. Millman

History: Lethargy, weight loss, 2-week history of vomiting and diarrhea. Radiographs, bloodwork, and abdominal ultrasound were performed.

Case summary: The patient is an 8 year old male neutered Alaskan Husky. Began treating this patient for suspected obstruction when there was no improvement with medical management. I used the Butterfly to do an abdominal ultrasound and was able to determine the GI tract was obstructed either due to FB or mass. Recommended patient go to a local vet clinic for exploratory surgery. Patient declined rapidly and was euthanized. Necropsy found 2 GI tumors.

Veterinarian's comments: The Butterfly provides great images for the size of the device. I have confidently been using it for abdominal ultrasounds, fast scans, and pregnancy checks.
