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: Isosporiasis, caused by Isospora spp., is a common intestinal parasitic infection in kittens, transmitted via ingestion of oocysts in contaminated food, water, or feces. Concurrent infections with nematodes such as Toxocara spp. can complicate clinical management. Purpose:  To provide clinical insights into the diagnosis and management of simultaneous isosporiasis and toxocariasis in kittens. Case(s): A 1-month-old, 0.7 kg female Persian kitten named Alin was presented with pasty diarrhea. The kitten had good appetite and hydration, with no prior deworming or vaccination. Clinical examination revealed respiratory rate 104 breaths/min, pulse 156 beats/min, and rectal temperature 39.9°C. Abdominal palpation showed distension and auscultation revealed hyperactive intestinal sounds. Fecal analysis detected Isospora spp., oocysts and Toxocara spp. eggs, confirming co-infection. Case Management: Initial treatment included oral Cotrimoxazole and CTM powder for isosporiasis and Pyrantel Pamoate (Chombantrine®) for toxocariasis, administered three times daily for five days. Persistent infection on follow-up prompted four additional days of CTM therapy. By November 6, 2024, Isospora spp., remained detectable; CTM was discontinued, deworming repeated, and intramuscular Intertim LA was administered for maintenance therapy. Conclusion:  Simultaneous isosporiasis and toxocariasis may require extended combined therapy due to potential resistance of Isospora spp. Routine deworming, strict hygiene, and early diagnostic monitoring are essential to prevent and manage such infections in kittens.
