Abstract

Respiratory tract infection (ISP) is a disease that often occurs in cats kept in crowded environments. This condition is the main cause of high morbidity and mortality in cats. The purpose of writing this article is to diagnose respiratory tract infections (ISP). An 8-month-old male cat named Ruby was brought by his owner to the Veterinary Internal Medicine Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Udayana University with complaints of sneezing and mucopurulent discharge from the nose for approximately two months and accompanied by coughing for the past month. On physical examination, the case cat had tachypnea, mucopurulent nasal discharge, and gingivitis. The mandibular lymph nodes are symmetrically swollen. X-ray examination results showed increased opacity in the lungs. Routine hematological examination showed that the case cat had neutrophilia. The cat was diagnosed with a respiratory tract infection (ISP) in the form of chronic rhinitis and bronchopneumonia. The treatment given was the antibiotic doxycycline hyclate as causative therapy, the anti-inflammatory methylprednisolone orally and the antihistamine chlorpheniramine maleate orally as symptomatic therapy, and fish oil as supportive therapy. The results of two weeks of therapy showed that the animal in the case had experienced changes, namely that the nasal discharge had disappeared, the frequency of sneezing and coughing had decreased and the cat's gums were no longer inflamed.

Abstract

Supportive therapy using immunomodulators is one of the therapeutic options that can be used to increase or restore the balance of the body's immune system. The upper respiratory tract disease that often occurs in cats is rhinitis. This article aims to describe the incidence of rhinitis due to bacterial infection in local cats, a series of examinations to determine the diagnosis, and supportive therapy given using immunomodulators. The examinations carried out were physical examination, routine hematology, radiography, cytology, isolation and identification of bacteria and fungi. The results of the physical examination of the case cat found serous discharge coming out of the nose, and occasional sneezing followed by the release of serous discharge. The right mandibular lymph node was swollen. Seven days later the discharge turned purulent. The results of routine hematology examination showed that the case cat had leukocytosis. The results of the cytology of the case cat found a lot of neutrophil inflammatory cell infiltration. The results of the isolation and identification of bacteria and fungi with samples of the case cat's nasal discharge showed the presence of Enterococcus sp. Based on the anamnesis, physical examination, and laboratory examination, the cat was diagnosed with rhinitis with a fausta prognosis. The therapy given was cefixime (10 mg/kg BW) orally twice a day for 7 days, methylprednosolone (2 mg/kg BW) once a day for 4 days, and supportive therapy was also given, namely 4life Transfer factor Plus Tri Factor®Formula once a day for 7 days giving good results. On the seventh day, there was no discharge coming out of the nose and sneezing was no longer occurring. It is necessary to educate the owners of cats in cases about the importance of providing early rhinitis treatment so that the infection does not continue to worsen.

Abstract

Sarcoptes scabiei and Notoedres cati are parasites that cause scabies by burrowing tunnels under the epidermal layer of the skin. Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous and systemic fungal infection in animals caused by Sporothrix spp. This case report aims to provide additional reference for the management of scabies and sporotrichosis cases. The case subject, a three-month-old female cat named Miya, exhibited itching, skin thickening, hair loss, and dandruff on several parts of the body, accompanied by decreased appetite since being adopted a week earlier. Physical examination revealed alopecia, hyperkeratosis, and scaling on the ear pinna and all four legs, as well as crusts and scales on the back, with a pruritus score of 7/10. Additionally, the mucous membranes of the eyes and mouth appeared pale. Supportive diagnostic tests using skin scraping detected the mite Notoedres cati. Cytological examination using the tape acetate preparation method revealed spore formations identified as Sporothrix spp. A complete hematological test indicated that the cat suffered from normocytic normochromic anemia. The treatment regimen included ivermectin injection, sulfur baths, the antihistamines diphenhydramine HCl and cetirizine, as well as supplements such as Sangobion and fish oil. After 14 days of treatment, hyperkeratosis, scaling, crusts, and flakes disappeared, though alopecia on the ear pinna remained. The cat’s pruritus resolved, appetite improved, and mucous membranes turned pink. The conclusion of this case report is that the 14-day treatment method proved to be effective in the recovery of the affected cat. In addition to effective treatment, maintaining a clean environment is recommended to prevent reinfection.

Abstract

Scabies is a skin infection caused by ectoparasites of the mite type, Sarcoptes scabiei. These mites infect the host's skin by making tunnels in the epidermis layer which will cause itching. This article aims to describe the occurrence of scabiosis due to Sarcoptes scabiei infection in local dogs. A series of examinations to determine the diagnosis, and the therapy given. A case study was conducted on a local male dog, named Boby, aged 4 months who had itching all over his body that had lasted for one month. Physical examination found alopecia, scales, and crusts on the head, hind legs, front legs, both ears, abdomen, back, and tail. Examination using the skin scraping method found Sarcoptes scabiei mites. Hematological examination showed that the case animal had lymphocytosis, monocytosis, granulocytopenia, hypochromic microcytic anemia, and thrombocytosis. Based on anamnesis, clinical examination results, and supporting examinations, the case animal was diagnosed with scabiosis with a prognosis of fausta. The case dog was given causative therapy in the form of ivermectin at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg BW, subcutaneous injection with two administrations at an interval of 28 days, Symptomatic therapy was given subcutaneous injection of diphenhydramine HCl at a dose of 3 mg/kg BW with two administrations at an interval of 28 days, chlorpheniramine maleate at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg BW orally for 14 days. Supportive therapy B-complex was given 1 tablet once a day for 21 days, fish oil as much as 1 tablet once a day for 20 days, and bathed with shampoo containing sulfur (twice a week). The results of treatment for 28 days showed changes in the condition of the case dog improving, pruritus, crusts, scales, lichenification began to decrease. On the 40th day the case dog showed new hair growth. The awareness of pet owners, especially those who keep dogs, must be increased by always maintaining the cleanliness of their dog's cage, eating utensils, and play equipment.

Abstract

Canine nephritis, an inflammatory kidney condition, progressively impairs renal function through glomerular and interstitial damage. This case report documents a dog presenting with dysuria, hematuria, and yellow foamy vomiting, accompanied by anorexia with partial maintenance of water intake. The patient had a long-term dietary history of rice, chicken breast, and inappropriate high-protein commercial snacks/supplements since puppyhood. Diagnostic evaluation revealed marked azotemia (BUN >45.00 mmol/L, creatinine 168.7 μmol/L), hyperproteinemia (90.9 g/L), and ultrasonographic evidence of cortical thickening. A comprehensive treatment protocol was implemented: (1) 72-hour intravenous Ringer's lactate fluid therapy, (2) transition to renal-support wet food (Royal Canin® Renal Support) twice daily, and (3) daily Ipakitine® (Vetoquinol) supplementation for 14 days. Therapeutic outcomes demonstrated significant biochemical improvement (BUN 14.12 mmol/L, creatinine 63.4 μmol/L) and complete resolution of clinical signs. This case highlights the importance of combined fluid therapy, dietary modification, and phosphate-binding management in canine nephritis cases with nutritional etiology.

Abstract

Tracheal stenosis, a narrowing of the tracheal lumen, is a life-threatening condition that can cause severe airway obstruction. This case report describes the diagnosis and management of tracheal stenosis in a 9-month-old female cat presenting with chronic coughing, sneezing, and dyspnea. The study aimed to document clinical findings, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic outcomes for feline tracheal stenosis. Clinical examination revealed dyspnea and a positive tracheal pinch reflex, while hematology showed lymphocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and elevated hemoglobin. Radiographic imaging confirmed tracheal narrowing. Treatment included an 8-day protocol of aminophylline (5 mg/kg p.o.), co-amoxiclav (12 mg/kg p.o.), methylprednisolone (2 mg/kg p.o.), bromhexine (0.2 mg/kg p.o.), and salbutamol-NaCl nebulization (2:9 mL), alongside isolation and owner education. Despite therapy, reevaluation after 8 days showed no clinical improvement, suggesting limited treatment efficacy. This case highlights the challenges in managing tracheal stenosis in cats and underscores the need for alternative therapeutic strategies. Further research into surgical interventions or advanced medical protocols is recommended for refractory cases.

Abstract

Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease in cats, characterized by ulcerative and/or proliferative lesions of the oral mucosa, with a reported prevalence of 10.9%–26% in certain populations. Its etiology presumably involves an abnormal cellular immune response to persistent antigens. In some cases, eosinophilic infiltration suggests involvement of the Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex (EGC). This report describes the clinical management and therapeutic response of a cat with FCGS and suspected EGC lesions. A 5-year-old male domestic cat presented with a history of painful mastication beginning in August 2024 and reccured in October 2024; intraoral examination revealed gingival ulceration and proliferation, while Diff-Quik cytology confirmed infiltration by eosinophils, hypersegmented neutrophils, and macrophages. A 7-day inpatient regimen of commercial wet food to reduce masticatory trauma, systemic glucocorticoids (methylprednisolone p.o. 1 mg/kg with tapering), and daily topical triamcinolone resulted in rapid clinical improvement—marked by reduced pain, decreased gingival inflammation, and a significant drop in inflammatory cells on repeat cytology. The combination of dietary texture modification and glucocorticoid therapy proved effective in reducing short-term inflammation in FCGS with suspected EGC, although mucosal biopsy remains recommended to confirm definitive remission and guide long-term follow-up.
