Leptospirosis cases are rising, and many early infections are still missed.

The challenge isn’t awareness, it’s timing. Before classic renal or hepatic signs develop, patients may already be infected and shedding. Antibody-based tests can lag behind active disease, especially in nonspecific presentations.

Why it matters
✅ Fever, lethargy, GI signs, PU/PD mimic many conditions
✅ Zoonotic exposure risk for staff and owners
✅ Early confirmation guides antimicrobial choice and isolation decisions

The MiDOG All-in-One Test can detect Leptospira DNA directly, even when serology is negative, supporting earlier diagnosis, faster treatment decisions, and improved patient outcomes.

Love Under Water looks like a daily dance. Seahorses do Valentine’s Day differently.

Many seahorse pairs reconnect every day, syncing their bond (and timing) with an elegance that’s hard to beat. And in one of nature’s best role reversals, males carry the pregnancy.

But even underwater romance depends on the basics: healthy animals, balanced microbes, and stable environments. When water quality shifts, stress rises, and opportunists take advantage, reminding us that reproductive success is never “just biology”… it’s One Health in action.

Happy Valentine’s Day tomorrow to everyone and to the species that prove love isn’t always 50/50, sometimes it’s 100% carried.

We’re heading to WVC 2026, Las Vegas

MiDOG Animal Diagnostics will be exhibiting at the Western Veterinary Conference (Viticus Group) from Feb 15–18 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.

WVC continues to be one of the most clinically focused meetings of the year, bringing together companion animal, exotic, and wildlife clinicians for practical CE and real case discussion.

📍 Booth #1725

Come talk with us about how genomic microbial profiling fits into everyday case management and where it provides clarity when culture and targeted PCR reach their limits.

If you’re attending, stop by — we’d love to hear what types of cases you’re working through and share how other clinicians are using MiDOG in practice.

One of the rarest cats on Earth and still vulnerable to complex disease.

For National Cat Health Month, the Iberian lynx is a reminder that conservation success doesn’t always equal clinical resolution.

Even in recovering feline populations, inflammatory and urinary disease can persist, often shaped by genetics, stress, environment, and microbial imbalance, not a single pathogen.

Recent feline research links microbiome disruption (dysbiosis) with active inflammatory and immune-mediated disease, reinforcing why unresolved cases need broader context.

📄 Evidence: https://www.ajol.info/index.php/evj/article/view/267099

Why this matters (clinically & in conservation):
✅ Disease can persist without a single causative organism
✅ Dysbiosis may explain recurrence or treatment failure
Recent feline research links microbiome disruption (dysbiosis) with active inflammatory and immune-mediated disease, reinforcing why unresolved cases need a broader context.
✅ Better context supports smarter diagnostics, not repeated empiric treatment

Protecting feline health, wild or domestic, starts with asking better diagnostic questions.

New Published Paper: First report of Castellaniella spp. infection in dogs and the genomic evidence of a novel species

MiDOG’s sequencing-first approach uncovered a previously undescribed Castellaniella species in two dogs with severe respiratory disease—cases where conventional culture failed.

Using next-generation sequencing and deeper genomic analysis, we identified Castellaniella spp. in both cases, including one organism new to science and now formally documented in a peer-reviewed journal.

Why it matters:
✅ First documented Castellaniella infection in dogs
✅ NGS detects pathogens missed by culture
✅ Genomic insight supports smarter antimicrobial decisions

Being a responsible pet owner means more than keeping up with annual visits.

It means understanding why answers matter when something doesn’t feel right.

Chronic infections, digestive issues, and recurring symptoms often involve more than a single factor. Clear communication around diagnostic options helps pet owners better understand next steps, timelines, and expectations, especially when cases aren’t straightforward.

That’s why MiDOG offers Pet Owner brochures designed to support these conversations in the exam room. They explain DNA-based diagnostic testing in accessible language, helping clients stay informed and engaged in their pet’s care.

📦 Need a refill? Request more brochures anytime through your usual MiDOG ordering route (or email orders@midogtest.com.

A small resource that can make complex cases easier to explain and easier for pet owners to navigate.

Golden Retrievers are famous for their smiles and their unwavering devotion.

But veterinarians know they’re also famous for recurring ear, skin, and GI issues.

Chronic otitis, dermatitis, and inflammation in this breed often involve complex microbial communities, not just one pathogen. When cases keep coming back, deeper diagnostic insight can help clarify what’s really driving disease, and why treatment hasn’t stuck.

This National Golden Retriever Day, we’re highlighting why looking beyond the obvious can make a real difference. PCR and Culture Testing Detect Only 3% of Microbes, while the MiDOG All-in-One Test Detects 100% of Bacteria and Fungi.

National Hedgehog Day: Hedgehogs may be tiny, but their infections rarely are.

In one of our hedgehog head mass case, sequencing didn’t point to a single culprit. It surfaced a mixed bacterial profile (including Enterococcus faecalis and Enterobacter cloacae) alongside a strong fungal signal (Candida albicans), plus resistance-associated markers consistent with a methicillin-resistant staph finding. That’s exactly why “treating the obvious” can fail in small exotic patients, because the obvious is often incomplete.

Why it matters (especially for exotics):
✅ Mixed infections can look like one disease process clinically, and behave like another therapeutically
✅ When sample volume is limited, you want the highest-yield answer from a single submission
✅ Seeing the full microbial picture helps you choose a clean next step (targeted therapy, confirmatory testing, or resampling strategy)

This National Hedgehog Day, we’re spotlighting the value of deeper microbial diagnostics when your patient can’t afford trial-and-error.

The next phase of MiDOG diagnostics is here.

Veterinary medicine doesn’t need more noise; it needs clearer answers when cases don’t behave as expected. MiDOG’s DNA-based testing is built for real-world complexity, delivering broad pathogen detection from a single sample to support informed clinical decisions.

What’s available now:
✅ MiDOG Core Test for species-agnostic detection across bacteria, fungi and resistance markers
✅ New Comparison & Time-Series Reports to evaluate samples side-by-side or over time, supporting treatment assessment, recurrence analysis, and longitudinal monitoring

Designed for cases where culture is slow, limited, or returns “no growth”, and when clinicians need results that reflect biological reality.

If you’re managing persistent infections, treatment failures, or multi-animal scenarios, let’s talk.

New Research Published | Black-Footed Ferrets & the Microbiome

We’re excited to share a newly published, intern-led study first-authored by Dr. Xueyan Xu, PhD, examining how Cystoisospora infection impacts the f***l microbiome of endangered black-footed ferrets.

Key findings at a glance:
✅ Metagenomic sequencing captured serial microbiome changes
✅ Coccidia-positive samples showed shifts in Bacteroides, Enterococcus, Fusobacterium, and Peptostreptococcus
✅ Infection context revealed patterns not always visible with broad diversity metrics

This work highlights the power of high-resolution microbial profiling in exotic and conservation species, and reflects MiDOG’s commitment to training the next generation of veterinary scientists through real, publishable research.

What a week at North American Veterinary Community (NAVC) VMX 2026 in Orlando!

We’re still buzzing from connecting with so many clinicians, techs, and veterinary pros at one of the biggest vet gatherings of the year. But it wasn’t all booth life! We took some time to play at SeaWorld Orlando, and yes, it was so much fun. Dolphins, penguins, and sunshine definitely powered up the crew for more conversations the next day.

Big thanks to everyone who stopped by Booth #2349 to chat diagnostics, hear real-world cases, and geek out over what’s next in vet medicine. Looking forward to the next one already!

National Squirrel Appreciation Day 🐿️

Small patient. Complex medicine.

Squirrel cases often come with:
✔️ GI upset & chronic digestive issues
✔️ Non-healing wounds & abscesses
✔️ Vague systemic signs
✔️ Vector exposure & zoonotic considerations

When culture or limited PCR doesn’t give the full picture, NGS-based diagnostics can.

With one sample, MiDOG helps teams:
✔️ Detect multiple pathogens at once
✔️ Capture hard-to-culture organisms
✔️ Identify antimicrobial resistance markers

Species-agnostic science means this approach works for squirrels and all small animal patients.

Here’s to appreciating squirrels and the diagnostics that help care for them better.
