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.

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.

Abstract

Background: Geographic location is one of the key factors influencing the reproductive performance of cattle. Environmental variables such as temperature, humidity, and rainfall directly affect the reproductive efficiency of cows. Purpose: This study aimed to compare the reproductive performance of beef cattle raised in highland and lowland areas. Method: A total of 60 productive female cows were surveyed, comprising 30 cows from the lowland area of Borobudur (230–240 m above sea level) and 30 from the highland area of Sawangan (450–1400 m above sea level). Data on calving interval and service per conception were obtained through field surveys of farmers maintaining artificial insemination records. The data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test. Results:  Reproductive performance was assessed based on calving interval and service per conception. Cows raised in the highland area of Sawangan demonstrated superior reproductive performance, with a calving interval of 429.66 ± 145.16 days and a service per conception rate of 1.5 ± 0.73, compared to 516.33 ± 168.72 days and 2.5 ± 1.61 in the lowland area of Borobudur. These findings suggest that higher altitudes with cooler and more stable climatic conditions contribute to improved reproductive efficiency. Conclusion: The results indicate that altitude has a significant influence on cattle reproductive performance. Cows raised in highland areas exhibited shorter calving intervals and lower service per conception rates compared to those in lowland areas. Cooler temperatures and lower humidity in highlands likely enhance reproductive outcomes. Farmers in lowland regions may improve reproductive efficiency by implementing cooling systems or adjusting breeding schedules. Further studies are recommended to identify additional environmental and management factors influencing cattle reproduction across different agroecological zones.
