Abstract

Demodecosis, also known as Red Mange, Acarus Mange, and Follicular Mange, is a skin disease caused by the mite Demodex canis. Demodecosis infection can occur in dogs of all ages. This study aims to diagnose and treat the infection of Demodex sp in chow-chow dogs. Clinical signs include generalized alopecia, scales, and crusts found on the body's surface, followed by dehydration symptoms, poor skin turgor, and long CRT. Supporting examinations to determine demodecosis infection are carried out using the deep skin scrapping test method. Next, a hematological exam was carried out. The hematology examination interpreted the blood analysis results to indicate that the dog had normochromic microcytic anemia. A decrease in RBC, hemoglobin, and hematocrit indicates anemia. A low MCV indicates Microcytic, and normochromic is due to a normal MCHC. Treatment is carried out by administering ivermectin, diphenhydramine HCl, and longamox.

Abstract

The eye is an essential organ for living things, as one of the five senses of the eye is very vulnerable to infectious or non-infectious diseases. The orbital tumor is one of the disorders in the cat's eye that can attack the eye muscles, nerves, and lacrimal glands. This study aims to diagnose and treat the enucleation of bulbus oculi in domestic cats and patients with orbital tumors. This activity was carried out at the Veterinary Practice "Drh. Juliadi Ramadhan, M.Si." Jl. Payakumbuh-Lintau No. 12 Regency 50 City, West Sumatra Province. The results showed that one of the treatments for orbital tumor cases can be done by enucleation of the oculi bulk. This operation uses a subconjunctival method to remove the eye, the nictitating membrane, and a little eyelid by minimizing the removal of extraocular muscle tissue. After surgery, intense treatment is carried out by maintaining the sanitation of the cage and administering anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, and vitamins.

Abstract

Ancylostomiasis is an important gastrointestinal helminthiasis in cats with zoonotic potential. This case report describes ancylostomiasis in a seven-year-old domestic female cat presented to Yours Animal Clinic, Padang Panjang, West Sumatra, with diarrhea and lethargy. Clinical examination, fecal analysis, and hematological evaluation were performed to establish the diagnosis. Fecal examination using native smear, flotation, centrifugation, and McMaster counting techniques revealed Ancylostoma sp. eggs with an eggs-per-gram (EPG) value of 2,200, indicating a mild infection intensity. Physical examination showed a low body condition score, dull hair coat, mild dehydration, and diarrhea. Hematological analysis demonstrated decreased red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, granulocytes, and platelets, accompanied by increased lymphocytes, monocytes, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), consistent with anemia and an inflammatory response secondary to helminth infection. Based on these findings, the cat was diagnosed with ancylostomiasis and treated with anthelmintics, fluid therapy, antibiotics, and supportive care. This case highlights the integration of clinical, parasitological, and hematological findings in the diagnosis of ancylostomiasis in cats and underscores the importance of routine deworming, appropriate husbandry, environmental sanitation, and periodic fecal examination to reduce the risk of infection and potential zoonotic transmission.
