Abstract

An inguinal hernia is a protrusion of an organ or part of an organ, fat or tissue through the inguinal ring. This disease is congenital or acquired through trauma. The aim of writing this article is to find out how to diagnose, manage and treat cases of inguinal hernia in dogs. The case animal is a six year old female mixed breed dog, weighing 9.8 kg with complaints of swelling in the abdomen. Radiographic results showed that there was a pocket in the inguinal area containing intestines, so the dog was diagnosed as a case of inguinal hernia with a fausta prognosis. The surgical procedure is carried out by laparotomy by repositioning the contents of the hernia into the abdominal cavity. After surgery, the dog was given the antibiotic cefotaxime and the anti-inflammatory meloxicam intravenously for three days, then continued with the oral antibiotic cefadroxil monohydrate for four days and meloxicam for two days. On the tenth day, the surgical wound has healed, as indicated by the wound being dry, the skin is together, not swollen, and the dog is active. Dogs diagnosed with an inguinal hernia should be treated as soon as possible to prevent the hernia ring from widening and any harmful health effects.

Abstract

Long bone fractures are common orthopedic problems in small animals, with tibial fractures being the third most frequent and diaphyseal fractures accounting for approximately 75% to 81% of all tibial fractures. This report describes the treatment of an oblique diaphyseal tibial fracture in a 2-year-old female domestic cat weighing 1.9 kg that had been lame for one week. Physical examination revealed pain and crepitation in the left hind limb, and radiographic evaluation confirmed an oblique fracture in the diaphysis of the left tibia. Treatment was performed using internal fixation with orthopedic wire, and postoperative care included intravenous administration of cefotaxime sodium (20 mg/kg BW) and meloxicam (0.2 mg/kg BW), followed by oral cefadroxil monohydrate (22 mg/kg BW/q12h for 7 days), meloxicam (0.1 mg/kg BW/q24h for 3 days), and calcium gluconate (10 mg/kg BW for 10 days starting on day 7). Two weeks after surgery, callus formation was observed at the fracture site, and the cat was able to walk normally without signs of lameness. Internal fixation using wire proved effective for treating oblique diaphyseal tibial fractures in domestic cats when combined with appropriate postoperative management, highlighting the importance of selecting the right fixation method and follow-up therapy to ensure optimal recovery.

Abstract

Ventral hernia is an abnormality of the abdominal wall that is generally caused by traumatic factors, characterized by a lump containing abdominal visceral organs but still covered by skin and subcutaneous tissue. A two-year-old female domestic cat weighing 3 kg presented with a soft lump on the ventral abdomen for five months. The contents of the lump could be pushed into the abdominal cavity during palpation, but reappeared after pressure was released. Physical examination revealed a hernia opening and hernia contents. Supporting examination using radiography with barium sulfate (BaSO4) contrast showed that the cat had a ventral hernia containing the intestine with a favorable prognosis. The surgical procedure was performed using laparotomy to reposition the hernia contents back into the abdominal cavity and close the abdominal cavity with sutures. The surgery was performed under general anesthesia using a combination of xylazine at a dose of 1 mg/kg BW and ketamine at a dose of 5 mg/kg BW intravenously through a gradual infusion.  Postoperatively, the cat was given the antibiotic Cefotaxime Sodium at a dose of 20 mg/kg BW twice daily for three days intravenously through an infusion, followed by Cefixime at a dose of 10 mg/kg BW twice daily for seven days orally. On the tenth day, the surgical wound showed good healing, characterized by a dry wound, removal of sutures, good appetite and drinking, and normal defecation and urination. For optimal results, post-operative care must still be considered, including monitoring the condition of the wound and the overall physical condition of the animal.
