Abstract

A 12-year-old female pug mix dog presented a skin problem with itching, and alopecia in the neck, facial, and extremity areas. Findings of scales, hyperpigmentation, and erythema are present almost throughout the body, along with crusts on the cranial and caudal extremities and a foul body odor. Wood's lamp examination revealed a yellowish-green fluorescence in the ear and ventral areas of the body. The skin tape examination revealed an infestation of Demodex sp. mites accompanied by Malassezia sp. hematological analysis indicated that the dog presented anemia. The dog was diagnosed with demodicosis with a secondary infection of Malassezia sp. The therapy provided consisted of antiparasitic drugs such as imidacloprid and moxidectin (Advocate®); the long-acting antibiotic enrofloxacin was administered at a dose of 200 mg intramuscularly, along with the oral antibiotic amoxicillin and clavulanic acid at a dose of 31.25mg/kg BW every 12 hours. Additionally, oral antifungal medication ketoconazole was given at 25mg/kg BW every 12 hours, along with ketoconazole cream. Oral antihistamine mebhydroline napsylate was administered at 25mg/kg BW every 12 hours. Furthermore, multivitamins and hair vitamins were given at a dose of 2 ml once every 24 hours. After seven days of treatment, an evaluation was conducted, and it was observed that the dog's condition had improved, indicated by a reduction in the intensity of scratching.

Abstract

A 12-year-old Beagle dog weighing 7.7 kg was brought to the Brawijaya University Veterinary Teaching Hospital in a state of dehydration, lethargy, and jaundice. On the 2nd day of hospitalization, the dog had mucopurulent discharge from the vagina. From the results of a complete blood count and ultrasonography (USG), the patient was diagnosed with pyometra and was treated with an ovariohysterectomy. After surgery the dogs was given cefotaxime 10 mg/kg bw, meloxicam 0.2 mg/kg bw, 0.9 ml vitamin K, and supportive therapy with Biodin® 0.5 mL and Modivitasan® 0.5 mL. Pyometra infection causes progesterone levels to rise, thereby triggering mammary gland tumor. On the 23rd day of hospitalization, a lump was found in the mammary gland. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) results showed the presence of Mott cells. The mammary gland tumor was treated with a single mastectomy. Mastectomy was performed when the dog was in stable condition, about a month after the ovariohysterectomy. Ovariohysterectomy and mastectomy were not performed simultaneously due to consideration of the patient's clinical condition, which made it impossible to get prolonged exposure to anesthesia. Post-mastectomy surgery the dogs were given cefixime 10 mg/kg bw, the analgesic meloxicam 0.2 mg/kg BW, and Biodin® 0.5 ml as supportive therapy. The postoperative wound healed well without complications. The patient recovered after one month of treatment.
