Abstract

This study aims to determine the chemical content of the urine of local cats living freely around Mataram. The sample used was cat urine taken randomly. Twenty-five cats’ urine samples were put into a sterile urine pot. Urine chemistry examination and observation were carried out using a urine analyzer strip to identify the levels of urine chemistry, namely nitrite, protein, pH, blood, ketones, bilirubin, and glucose. The examination was done by dipping the strip into each urine sample; the strip was taken and tapped on the tissue, then inserted into the urine analyzer machine. After the results are obtained, the machine will automatically issue the results of the urine chemistry analysis, reading the results for no more than 60 seconds. This study emphasizes observing the quantity or amount of substances and sedimentation in cat urine samples. All of the 25 samples examined were positive (100%) for nitrite, protein, ketones, and glucose levels. The results of the blood level examination in urine were negative in all samples, the examination of urine pH levels in 25 samples varied with an average pH of 6.84, and the examination of bilirubin levels was positive in 24 (96%) urine samples. From the examination of the samples, there were indications of disorders of the uropoetic system and bacteriuria in cat urine.

Abstract

Otodectes cynotis is a parasitic mite frequently identified in the external ear canal of cats, where it causes otitis externa and severe pruritus. Environmental conditions, hygiene standards, and animal management practices influence the prevalence of this mite. The present study aimed to assess the detection rate and prevalence of O. cynotis infestation in cats presented to veterinary clinics in Mataram City, West Nusa Tenggara. A total of 63 cats from three clinics (A, B, and C) were examined between November and December 2024. Earwax samples were processed using the native method with a 10% KOH solution at the Parasitology and Microbiology Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Mandalika University of Education. Microscopic examinations at 10× and 40× magnifications were conducted to identify O. cynotis based on morphological characteristics. Among the 63 cats examined, 22 (34.92%) were found to be infested. The prevalence rates were 40.74% at Clinic A, 29.17% at Clinic B, and 33.33% at Clinic C. These results demonstrate a moderate to high prevalence of O. cynotis among cats in Mataram City. Routine ear examinations, enhanced hygiene practices, and regular antiparasitic treatments are recommended to reduce infestation rates and improve feline ear health.
