Abstract

Laporan kasus sindrom gangguan pernapasan akut (ARDS) pada kucing yang terjadi akibat kejadian traumatik belum banyak dibahas. Hasil nekropsi yang dilakukan pada kucing yang diketahui mengalami kejadian traumatik (tertabrak kendaraan bermotor) dapat memberikan gambaran umum mengenai temuan patologis ARDS. Temuan patologis dari hasil nekropsi antara lain adanya cairan berbusa berwarna merah muda kemerahan di trakea, perdarahan, dan petekie di paru-paru, disertai penumpukan darah di rongga pleura (hemothorax). Kerusakan otak akut akibat daerah kepala tertabrak kendaraan bermotor, sehingga bentuk kepala menjadi asimetris, juga menjadi salah satu penyebab utama kematian pada kucing ini.

Abstract

Respiratory distress due to abdominal pathology presents a diagnostic challenge in small animal practice and may be fatal if not promptly recognized. This case study describes the pathological findings in a domestic cat with thoracic cavity narrowing secondary to severe gastric distension and an abdominal lipoma. Necropsy was performed on a cat with dyspnea, abdominal pain, gait incoordination, and influenza-like symptoms. Postmortem examination revealed multiple pathological lesions, including marked gastric distension due to gas accumulation, a solitary lipoma within the abdominal cavity, gastritis, enteritis, Ascaris spp. infection (ascariasis), pulmonary hemorrhage, and tracheal hyperemia. The concurrent presence of abdominal lipoma and gastric distension likely exerts mechanical pressure on the diaphragm and thoracic cavity, restricting lung expansion and impairing gas exchange. This pressure-induced respiratory compromise is considered the primary factor for animal death. This report emphasizes the need for thorough clinical evaluation in cases with respiratory and abdominal signs, highlighting how abdominal masses can trigger life-threatening complications.
