Abstract

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common and clinically significant cardiomyopathies affecting felines characterized by excessive thickening of the left ventricular myocardium and decreased systolic pressure. This report describes the case of a 9-year-old, 4 kg, female Persian cat presented with dyspnea, anorexia, and lethargy. On physical examination, the normal rectal temperature, slight pallor mucous membranes, increases capillary refill time with respiratory distress were observed. Auscultation of the thorax revealed arrhythmia. Blood pressure and mean arterial pressure (MAP) indicated hypertension. Serial blood counts were consistent with anemia, eosinopenia and monocytosis suggesting chronic stress. Thorax radiograph revealed the heart enlargement through vertebral heart scale (VHS) and cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) score measurement. Complementary diagnostic test with biomarker pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (proBNP) confirmed the diagnosis of HCM. This case report describes the clinical findings, cardiac evaluation, and HCM diagnosis in a geriatric cat.

Abstract

Wound healing is a complex physiological process involving hemostasis, inflammatory, proliferative and remodelling phases. Natural compounds such as avocado (Persea americana) oil, rich in oleic and linoleic acids, have shown potential in supporting tissue regeneration. This study aimed to analyse the macroscopic wound healing effects of avocado oil cream at different concentrations in mice. Eighteen male Swiss Webster mice (8 weeks old, 30 g) were divided into three groups: K (0%) as a control group, P1 (25%) and P2 (50%) as the treatment groups. A 6 mm excisional wound was created on each mouse, and cream was applied once daily for seven days. Wound area and contraction were measured on days 1-7 using a digital calliper and analysed using one-way ANOVA (p>0.05). Results showed a consistent decrease in wound area and an increase in wound contraction across all groups, indicating progressive healing. Although statistical differences were not significant (p>0.05), the P2 (50%) group demonstrated a faster rate of wound area reduction and higher contraction compared to other groups. Macroscopically, P2 (50%) wound exhibited cleaner surfaces, earlier granulation tissue formation, and better epithelial coverage. These effects are likely related to the bioactive properties of avocado oil, which modulate inflammation, stimulate fibroblast proliferation, and enhance collagen remodelling. In conclusion, the topical application of avocado oil cream, particularly at a 50% concentration, showed promising macroscopic improvement in wound healing. Further studies with longer observation periods and histological analysis are recommended to confirm its therapeutic potential.

Abstract

Purpose: The goal of this study was to enhance students' knowledge and skills in identifying helminth eggs in cattle feces through structured teaching and hands-on laboratory practice, strengthening early parasitology-based disease detection abilities in vocational livestock education. Methodology/Approach: A pre-test-post-test design was used with 20 students from SMK PP Wiyata Bakti. Activities included lectures, PowerPoint presentations, posters, native fecal examination demonstrations, guided practice, and evaluations through post-tests and a Community Satisfaction Index. Data were analyzed descriptively. Results/Findings: The average test scores increased from 66.5% to 83%, indicating significant improvement in both concepts and procedures. Community Satisfaction Index (IKM) scores showed high satisfaction (75–90% “very satisfied”) regarding the material relevance, facilitator performance, and practical usefulness. Conclusions: Combining visual media with direct lab demonstrations effectively strengthened students' diagnostic abilities in parasitology, supporting the integration of helminth detection training into vocational livestock curricula. Limitations: The small sample size from a single institution limits broader applicability. Contributions: This study provides evidence that native fecal examination training enhances diagnostic competence and offers a replicable model for livestock health monitoring.

Abstract

Purpose: This community service aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of students from SMK PP Wiyata Bakti Dau in handling and restraining cats (Felis catus) and rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) safely and in accordance with animal welfare principles. Research methodology: The activity was conducted at SMK Pertanian Pembangunan Wiyata Bakti Dau, Malang Regency. Learning methods included a pre-test, theoretical presentation using PowerPoint, posters, and leaflets, live demonstrations, hands-on practice by students, a post-test, and a survey using the Indeks Kepuasan Masyarakat (IKM). Data were analyzed descriptively to determine the percentage increase in knowledge and satisfaction. Results: The average score increased from 68.6% (pre-test) to 97.3% (post-test), showing a 28.7% improvement. The IKM result reached an average score of 89.16%, categorized as “Excellent” (A) according to the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform standards. Students expressed high satisfaction with the balance of theory and practice, and practical sessions were considered essential for reinforcing understanding. Conclusions: The program effectively enhanced students’ understanding and practical skills in animal handling and restraint. It is recommended to continue similar training with additional topics on animal health to further support student readiness for future professional practice. Limitations: The study was limited to a short duration and a small group of students from one school, without long-term evaluation of knowledge or skill retention. Contributions: This study contributes to veterinary education by enhancing students’ skills in safe animal handling and restraint. It serves as a model for similar training in other schools to promote animal welfare and practical learning.

Abstract

Molecular detection of feline coronavirus (FCoV) is essential for diagnosing feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). This study aimed to confirm FCoV infection in clinically suspected cats and to describe the associated hematological and cytological changes. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), targeting the N gene, was performed on 20 cats exhibiting clinical signs consistent with FCoV infection, including vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal effusion, rhinitis, uveitis, and ataxia, yielding the expected 386 bp amplicon in all cases. Ascitic fluid was preferred for RT-PCR when available, whereas blood samples were analyzed for hematology. Hematologic profiles revealed consistent inflammatory changes. The mean total leukocyte count was 22.8 ± 12.1 × 10³/µL, and the mean platelet count was 769 ± 505 × 10³/µL. Neutrophilia and leukocytosis were the most common abnormalities, observed in 55% (11/20) of cats, followed by monocytosis in 15% (3/20), lymphopenia in 5% (1/20), and lymphocytosis in 30% (6/20). Platelet counts showed marked variation, ranging from severe thrombocytopenia in 40% (8/20) to extreme thrombocytosis in 35% (7/20). Cytologic examination of ascitic fluid from five cats revealed macrophage-predominant exudates with moderate numbers of neutrophils and few lymphocytes. Macrophages were often vacuolated and contained phagocytosed debris, whereas some neutrophils appeared degenerated. The background consisted of proteinaceous material consistent with a high-protein effusion. The integration of molecular, hematologic, and cytologic findings provides a multimodal diagnostic approach that improves diagnostic reliability. These findings emphasize the importance of combining PCR with clinicopathological data to enhance the early and accurate detection of FIP in multicat environments.
