Abstract

A five-year-old female Pomeranian dog presented with vomiting, restlessness, decreased appetite, and vaginal discharge. The physical examination revealed yellowish to brownish purulent vaginal discharge with an unpleasant smell. The X-ray image showed an enlarged uterus, while the hematology results revealed hypochromic normocytic anemia, neutrophilia, lymphopenia, and thrombocytopenia. The blood chemistry test results showed abnormalities, including elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase levels (ALP) and cholesterol as well as decreased amylase levels. Based on the anamnesis, clinical findings, physical examination, and supporting examinations, it was concluded that the dog was diagnosed with open cervix pyometra. The dog was treated with oxytocin hormone at a dose of 0.5 IU/kg BW, methylergometrine at a dose of 0.125 mg/dog, enrofloxacin at a dose of 5 mg/kg BW, carprofen at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg BW, cyproheptadine at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg BW, ranitidine at a dose of 3.5 mg/kg BW, ondansetron at a dose of 1 mg/kg BW, glyseryl guaiacolate at a dose of 20 mg/kg BW, ambroxol HCl at a dose of 2 mg/kg BW, Fufang® at adose of  1 ml, Sangobion® at a dose of 100 mg/dog, Maxbiotik® at a dose of 66 mg, and Transfer Factor Plus® at a dose of 20 mg.

Abstract

Inflammatory lesions that often occur in the oral cavity of cats include Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex (EGC). The aim of this research is to reveal the impact of surgical procedures followed by antibiotic and anti-inflammatory therapy on the incidence of EGC.  A 3-year-old 2.2 kg persian mix cat had clinical symptoms of irregular mass growth of the lips under the tongue beginning 2 months prior and had difficulty eating. According to the owner, the cat was the result of inbreeding/incest Clinical examination revealed pink oral mucosa, mass on the back, abdomen and legs, the cat's mouth cannot close because of an irregular mass (2.5 × 2.5 × 2.5 cm) of pale yellowish pink colour in the lingual frenulum, pink nodules on the lower lip and pink plaque under the chin. The results of the blood test revealed a predominance of eosinophils and neutrophils. Postoperative histopathological examination of the granuloma mass revealed the presence of reactive fibroblasts, irregular collagen fibres, and a predominance of eosinophils, stem neutrophils and lymphocytes. Treatment of eosinophilic granuloma complex (EGC) can be performed by surgical excision of granuloma masses via electrocautery, and drug therapy including amoxicillin and potassium clavulenate (20 mg/kg BW), meloxicam (0.05 mg/kg BW), and multivitamins (1 ml/day) can be continued. Fourteen days of postoperative therapy resulted in rapid and effective wound healing. The conclusion of this study shows that the combination of surgical procedures and medications such as antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and vitamins has a positive impact on the treatment of EGC cases.
