Abstract

This report describes the diagnosis and management of cystolithiasis in an 8-year-old, spayed female Persian cat weighing 2.85 kg. The patient presented with a history of dysuria and hematuria that began nine months post-ovariohysterectomy. The symptoms initially resolved but recurred with greater severity a few days prior to presentation. Diagnostic tests, including urinalysis and ultrasonography, revealed hyperechoic particles within the urinary bladder and calcium oxalate crystalluria. A diagnosis of calcium oxalate cystolithiasis was made. The owner opted for conservative management, which included a prescription urinary diet and a daily herbal supplement (Keji BelingĀ®). Clinical signs, including dysuria, resolved within seven days of treatment. However, calcium oxalate crystalluria persisted on follow-up urinalysis. This case suggests that conservative management can resolve the clinical signs of cystolithiasis, but long-term dietary control remains essential to manage the underlying risk of crystal formation. The role of herbal therapy in managing this condition requires further investigation.

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease in dogs that is often characterized by pruritus, damage to the skin barrier, and impaired protein metabolism. This study aimed to determine the effect of the combination of coconut oil and diphenhydramine on albumin and total protein levels in dogs with atopic dermatitis. A total of 15 dogs were diagnosed with atopic dermatitis. This study used a pre-test and post-test design with treatment for 28 days in the form of giving coconut oil once a day and diphenhydramine twice a day. Blood samples were taken before and after treatment to analyze albumin and total protein levels using automated biochemical tools. The results showed an increase in albumin levels from 2.31 g/dL on day 0 to 2.82 g/dL on day 28 (p<000) and an increase in total protein from 6.17 g/dL on day 0 to 7.24 g/dL on day 28 (p<001), which statistically showed a statistically significant effect. It can be concluded the combination therapy of coconut oil and diphenhydramine has a significant effect on increasing albumin and total protein levels in dogs with atopic dermatitis. It is recommended that follow-up studies be conducted with the control group and that sampling frequency be conducted once a week to determine the specific contribution of each therapy.
