Abstract

A common conjunctival disease in kittens is Chlamydiosis. Chlamydia bacteria invade and infect the cells of the conjunctiva causing inflammation and eye discharge. Clinical signs develop within a few days of infection and begin with eye discharge. The aim of this article is to improve the knowledge of veterinary colleagues in managing cases of conjunctivitis in kittens caused by chlamydial bacterial infection. A 5-month-old female local cat weighing 1.6 kg named Chips had complaints of eye swelling, eye redness and continuous tear and eye discharge since it was adopted. The cat showed signs of difficulty opening the eyes. The diagnosis was confirmed by haematology and cytology examination. Cytological examination of the eye discharge swab was positive for Chlamydophila felis. Haematological examination showed leukocytosis, lymphocytosis and thrombocytopenia. The cat was diagnosed with Feline Chlamydiosis. The cat was treated with Erlamycetin Plus Eye Drop (Chloramphenicol and Dexamethasone) one drop twice daily for 14 days. Supportive therapy with immunomodulator Echinacea purpurea (Imboost Kids Syrup 60 ml) was given twice daily for 2.5 ml for 14 days. The therapy showed satisfactory results. On day 14 the cat was declared cured after therapy and routine eye cleaning. It can be concluded that cats with Chlamydiosis can be treated until cured using topical antibiotics and immunomodulators. The importance of early detection and owner understanding of good and healthy environmental conditions to prevent recurrent infections.

Abstract

Chronic rhinitis in cats is a disease associated with inflammation of the nasal cavity. A 9-month-old male domestic cat named Oyen, weighing 2.5 kg, was brought to the Veterinary Internal Medicine Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Udayana University, complaining of yellow discharge from both nostrils and sneezing for approximately 4 months. Clinical examination revealed stridor during breathing, mucopurulent discharge from both nostrils, and sneezing. A nasal swab cytology examination revealed rod-shaped bacteria, which were confirmed by bacterial isolation and identification, indicating the growth of Bacillus sp. and Staphylococcus sp. Routine hematology examination showed an increase in lymphocytes and a decrease in granulocytes. Fecal examination using the native method showed the presence of Toxocara sp. eggs. Based on these examinations, the cat was diagnosed with chronic rhinitis and toxocariosis. The cat was given therapy consisting of the antibiotic Cefixime (10 mg/kg body weight; every 12 hours; orally (PO)), the anti-inflammatory corticosteroid Methylprednisolone (2 mg/cat; every 12 hours; PO), the mucolytic Bromhexine HCl (1 mg/kg body weight; every 12 hours; PO), and the vitamin Livron B-Plex (1 tablet/cat; every 12 hours; PO). Toxocariasis was treated with Combantrin® syrup (5 mg/kg). After 7 days of treatment, the cat showed improvement, with a reduction in nasal discharge and a reduction in sneezing frequency. The owner is advised to take the other two cats to the vet for immediate treatment to prevent them from transmitting the disease to each other, to maintain a clean environment, and to keep the animals confined during the treatment period.

Abstract

This case report details the management of a 5-month-old domestic male cat presenting with clinical signs of coughing, sneezing, mucopurulent nasal discharge, diarrhea, and inappetence. Diagnostic investigations, including medical history, clinical examination, hematology, nasal swab cytology, fecal examination, and radiography, were conducted. Results revealed leukocytosis, neutrophil infiltration with coccid bacteria in the nasal swab, a bronchial pattern on radiographs, and the presence of Dipylidium caninum gravid proglottids and eggs in the feces. A definitive diagnosis of concurrent bronchitis and dipylidiosis was established. Treatment consisted of a multimodal approach including causal, symptomatic, and supportive therapy. The therapeutic regimen included the antibiotic cefixime (10 mg/kg BW PO, q12h), the anti-inflammatory methylprednisolone (0.5 mg/kg BW PO, q24h), and nebulization with a solution of bromhexine HCl, gentamicin sulfate, and 0.9% NaCl (1 mg/kg BW, q12h). Additionally, the cat received multivitamins (0.2 mL SC), Drontal® cat (¼ tablet) as an anthelmintic, and kaolin-pectin (1 mL/kg BW PO, q6h). The owner was counseled on maintaining proper environmental hygiene. A significant improvement in the cat's clinical condition was observed by the seventh day of treatment.

Abstract

Ehrlichiosis is a tick-borne bacterial infection caused by several Ehrlichia species, including E. canis, E. chaffeensis, and E. ewingii. The bacteria are primarily transmitted by ticks of the genera Rhipicephalus and Amblyomma. A 4-year-old mixed-breed female dog named Cookie was presented with anorexia and lameness. Physical examination revealed an infestation of Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks on the dorsal and ventral body areas and around the ears, along with mildly pale mucous membranes. Complete blood count (CBC) results indicated leukopenia, granulocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, increased mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and decreased plateletcrit (PCT). Microscopic examination of a blood smear showed round, purplish-blue inclusions within the cytoplasm of monocytes. A rapid test confirmed the presence of Ehrlichia antibodies. Based on anamnesis, clinical findings, and laboratory results, the dog was diagnosed with ehrlichiosis. The treatment included sarolaner (Simparica®), doxycycline (Dohixat®), and multivitamins (Livron B-plex®). After 28 days of therapy, the dog showed marked clinical improvement, with normal appetite and hematological parameters returning to reference ranges.
