Abstract

Feline gingivostomatitis syndrome (FGS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the feline oral cavity that is multifactorial in nature and often accompanied by conjunctivitis as a complication. This condition can significantly reduce a cat’s quality of life. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of FGS with conjunctivitis as a complication in a domestic cat, including anamnesis, clinical examination, supporting diagnostics, treatment provided, and evaluation of the treatment response. The method used was clinical observation of a 3-year-old female cat presenting with anorexia, hypersalivation, oral mucosal inflammation, ocular discharge, and nasal discharge. Examinations included a complete physical examination, complete blood count (CBC), rapid tests for Feline calicivirus (FCV) and Feline herpesvirus (FHV-1), as well as cytological examination of swabs from ocular discharge and gingiva. The results showed severe stomatitis with gingival ulceration, conjunctivitis with mucopurulent discharge, mild nasal discharge, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and lymphocytosis. Rapid tests for FCV and FHV-1 were negative. Treatment included Amoxiclav®, Methylprednisolone, Kenalog in Orabase®, topical Gentamicin, vitamin B12, and oral cavity cleansing with physiological saline solution. Evaluation on day 6 revealed clinical improvement, including increased appetite, reduced oral mucosal inflammation, disappearance of ocular and nasal discharge, and resolution of conjunctivitis. The conclusion of this case is that a combination therapy approach consisting of causative, symptomatic, and supportive treatments was effective in managing FGS with conjunctivitis as a complication. Long-term monitoring and routine vaccination are recommended to prevent recurrence.

Abstract

Domestic dogs are frequently encountered in poor physical condition, one of which is emaciation that is often accompanied by fungal and parasitic infections, thus requiring comprehensive clinical management. This case report aims to describe emaciation accompanied by Malasseziosis and Ehrlichiosis in a 4-month-old domestic dog. Physical examination revealed a body condition score of 3/9, dermatological lesions including alopecia, papules, crusts, and scales, accompanied by a strong odor and greasy hair, as well as the presence of the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Laboratory examinations included acetate tape preparation, which identified Malassezia spp., hematological analysis showing anemia and thrombocytopenia, and blood smear examination revealing Ehrlichia morulae within monocytes, which was further confirmed by a positive Ehrlichia canis antibody rapid test kit. Therapeutic management consisted of nutritional improvement through dietary modification, medicated bathing using a combination of Sodium Salicylate, Sulphur, Econazole Nitrate, and Chloroxylenol (Virbac Poison Sebazole®), administration of the antiparasitic Fluralaner (Bravecto® oral chewable tablet), Doxycycline antibiotic therapy, and supportive treatment with Livron B-plex. Evaluation on day 28 demonstrated significant weight gain, marked improvement in skin condition with resolution of alopecia, papules, crusts, and scales, reduction of malodor, normalization of hair texture, and improvement in blood smear and routine hematological findings. Based on clinical findings, laboratory results, and therapeutic response, the patient was diagnosed with emaciation accompanied by Malasseziosis and Ehrlichiosis and showed a favorable response to treatment, resulting in significant clinical improvement and stable condition after 28 days of monitoring. Dog owners are advised to ensure adequate nutrition, proper kennel sanitation, and environmental hygiene to prevent disease recurrence.

Abstract

Malassezia dermatitis is a common skin disease in dogs caused by the overgrowth of Malassezia sp., a lipophilic yeast that normally inhabits the skin but may act as an opportunistic pathogen when skin homeostasis is disrupted. This yeast is commonly found in areas with active sebaceous glands and may cause pruritus, alopecia, hyperpigmentation, and chronic skin changes. This report describes a case of a 3-month-old female domestic puppy named Stella, weighing approximately 3 kg, presenting with chronic pruritus accompanied by generalized hair loss that had persisted for approximately one month. Dermatological examination revealed alopecia on the face, ears, neck, and extremities, along with hyperpigmentation, crust formation, and skin thickening consistent with lichenification. Supporting examinations using acetic acid tape preparation (ATP) cytology demonstrated a high number of Malassezia sp., while skin scraping and otic swab examinations did not reveal the presence of ectoparasites or other infectious agents, and trichogram analysis showed a predominance of hairs in the telogen phase, indicating chronic skin stress. The therapy administered consisted of bathing with Sebazole® shampoo as the primary treatment, topical application of apple cider vinegar and virgin coconut oil (VCO) as adjunct therapies to support skin barrier repair, and administration of diphenhydramine as symptomatic therapy to reduce pruritus. After four weeks of treatment, the clinical condition of the case animal showed significant improvement leading to complete recovery, characterized by the resolution of pruritus, skin lesions, and alopecia, along with hair regrowth.
