Abstract

Background: Papillomas are benign tumors that affect the skin or soft tissue beneath the skin. These papillomas can be accompanied by various abnormalities such as pustules, itching, hematomas, cysts, blisters, abscesses, lick granulomas, and skintags. While papillomas may resolve on their own, some cases require intensive treatment and management. Purpose: To provide veterinarians with insights into diagnosing and managing papilloma cases. Case: A 10-year-old male Golden Retriever presented with an open wound on the left front paw nail. The wound originated from a broken nail, which led to a non-healing wound over a period of 2 months. Clinical examination revealed a mass-like lesion that had ruptured. Palpation of the left front paw nail area indicated an irregular, lobular growth resembling grapes or cauliflower. Case Management:  Routine hematology revealed that the dog had microcytic hypochromic anemia, while blood chemistry indicated mildly reduced kidney function. Cytology confirmed that the wound was a papilloma. Treatment involved digit amputation to completely remove the tumor mass, along with wound care that included the application of ointments, antibiotics, analgesics, hematopoietic agents, anti-bleeding medication, and anti-cancer drugs. Supportive treatment included multivitamins, nerve supplements, immune supplements, and skin and coat supplements (Coatex). By the fifth postoperative day, the wound had dried, and the edges were healing well. Conclusion: Papillomas are benign and not harmful, but it is recommended to completely remove the tumor mass to prevent secondary infections.

Abstract

Background: Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) is a highly contagious and frequently fatal disease, particularly affecting unvaccinated juvenile cats. Clinical manifestations typically include leukopenia, diarrhea, dehydration, vomiting, and depression. The disease exhibits high morbidity and mortality rates, especially in young animals without prior immunization. Purpose:  This report aims to provide clinical insight into the diagnosis and symptomatic management of FPV in domestic cats. Case: An 8-month-old unvaccinated female cat weighing 2.3 kg was presented with signs consistent with panleukopenia. The patient had not received deworming treatment and lived in a semi-outdoor environment with three other cats. Physical examination focused on the oral cavity, nasal passages, eyes, ears, and abdomen. Hematological findings supported suspicion of viral infection. The history revealed that the patient’s littermates had died after exhibiting similar symptoms. Case Management:  Therapy focused on symptomatic treatment, including the administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics (ceftriaxone) to prevent secondary bacterial infections and reduce the risk of septicemia. Gastric protection was provided using ranitidine to inhibit gastric acid secretion and prevent complications such as ulcers and esophageal erosion. Supportive management also included fluid therapy and antidiarrheal care tailored to the patient's clinical status. Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis and appropriate symptomatic management significantly influence the outcome of FPV cases. Preventive strategies, including vaccination and routine deworming, remain essential in reducing the incidence and severity of infection. This case highlights the importance of early intervention and individualized treatment in improving recovery and survival rates in cats affected by panleukopenia.
