Abstract

Bronchopneumonia is an inflammatory condition involving the bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli in the lungs. This article aims to report the management of chronic bronchopneumonia in a 21-month-old male local cat weighing 4.6 kg who had clinical signs of a cold for two months. Clinical signs included mucopurulent nasal discharge and stridor. Initial physical examination showed normal activity, but dry rales were found on lung auscultation. Supportive examinations performed included hematology, cytology of nasal swabs, radiography, and bacterial culture. Hematology revealed lymphocytosis and decreased granulocytes, while swab cytology showed neutrophils. Radiographs indicated bronchial thickening as well as radiopaque patches in the lungs, leading to the diagnosis of chronic bronchopneumonia. Bacterial culture showed infection by Bacillus sp. and Staphylococcus sp. Treatment included antibiotic doxycycline at 10 mg/kg BW for three weeks and anti-inflammatory methylprednisolone at 0.43 mg/kg BW for seven days. Evaluation was carried out for three weeks, showing significant improvement in clinical conditions, including the disappearance of mucopurulent discharge and stridor, as well as normalization of auscultation and radiographic results. At the end of therapy, hematological examination results also showed lymphocyte and granulocyte values within normal limits. The advice for owners is to pay attention to early signs of respiratory distress such as prolonged runny nose, stridor, and mucopurulent discharge. Prompt treatment of the disease can prevent the animal's condition from getting worse, speed up recovery and improve the pet's quality of life.

Abstract

Cats are not immune to various types of diseases that can cause lesions, including oral lesions. Oral lesions are common in cats. This report aims to discuss the results of anamnesis, physical examination, and supporting examination in a six-year-old case cat with nasal discharge and watery eyes that had lasted for seven months. The cat's pre-existing status showed normal physiologic data. Physical examination found swelling on the left side of the cat's face, yellowish discharge from the eye and nose from the left side and swollen left mandibular lymphonodus. Localized redness was found on the maxilla, namely the gingiva. Haematological examination revealed anaemia. Radiographic examination showed a mass on the left side of the face which made the boundaries unclear. Histopathologic examination showed hyperplasia. Based on anamnesis, clinical examination, and supporting examination, the case cat was suspected to have a tumor. The therapy given was anti-inflammatory drug meloxicam. Supportive therapy was given in the form of blood enhancement supplements in the form of Fufang E'jiao Jiang. However, chemotherapy to cure the tumor could not be given because the cat died. Samples of the cat's swollen face were taken and found to be peripheral ossifying fibroma. In addition, before death the cat had diarrhoea and vomited worms. Therefore, it is important to check the cat's health condition regularly, especially the mouth to ensure that the cat is healthy.

Abstract

The integumentary system is the body's outer defence system that functions as a defence system against temperature, foreign substances, and fungal, bacterial, and parasitic infections. The purpose of writing this article is to provide information about the causes and impacts of Malassezia fungal infections and their treatment. In normal skin function, there is a group of normal microorganisms that grow on the surface of the skin that can be components and indicators in determining skin health. Malassezia fungi are fungi in the form of yeast or mycelium that live in areas of the body that are rich in sebaceous such as the back, chest, and head. A number of diseases that originate from the pathogenicity of Malassezia fungi are interpreted as malasseziosis which causes many symptoms such as hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, scaly skin, itching. Malassezia infection is interpreted as a decrease in the immune system such as the complement system, cellular immune response, and humoral immune response. The diagnostic method for malasseziosis in dogs requires thorough observation of the distribution of lesions such as alopecia lesions, pruritus, hyperpigmentation, hyperkeratosis, and crusts. The necessary supporting examinations such as Wood's lamp and tape acetate. Morphologically, observations were made using a microscope with a magnification of 1000Χ by observing the results of acetate tape that had been stained with diff-quick by looking at the shape of the Malassezia fungus like a round shoe sole. Post-infection control and treatment were given systemically and topically through the use of oral ketoconazole agents, symptomatic treatment of pruritus with chlorpheniramine maleate, and supportive with fish oil, vitamin CDE, and mineral Z.

Abstract

Scabies is a dermatological condition caused by the parasitic mite Sarcoptes scabiei. Infection with Sarcoptes scabiei induces severe pruritus, which can lead to alopecia and skin lesions. This disease is often accompanied by secondary infections, as the compromised immune response in affected individuals increases their susceptibility to opportunistic pathogens. Prompt and appropriate treatment is therefore essential to ensure a favorable prognosis. A 2.5-year-old mixed-breed female cat named Mimi, weighing 2.3 kg, presented with clinical signs of pruritus, sneezing, and nasal discharge from both nostrils, persisting for one month prior to examination. A physical examination revealed alopecia on the ear and neck regions, crusting on the ears and frontal area, mucous nasal discharge, and pale oral mucosa. Deep skin scraping of the alopecic and crusted areas identified the presence of Sarcoptes scabiei mites. Further radiographic evaluation revealed an alveolar pattern in the lungs. Additionally, microbiological analysis of the nasal discharge confirmed the presence of Streptococcus sp. A complete blood count indicated leukocytosis, lymphocytosis, and granulocytosis. Based on these findings, the cat was diagnosed with scabies complicated by bacterial pneumonia, with a favorable prognosis. The treatment regimen included scabies therapy with an ivermectin injection at a dose of 0.03 mL and diphenhydramine HCl at a dose of 0.3 mL, both administered subcutaneously. Antibiotic therapy consisted of amoxicillin combined with clavulanic acid (25 mg formulation), dosed at 62.5 mg (1 mL) per administration, given orally twice daily for 10 days. Anti-inflammatory treatment included methylprednisolone (4 mg formulation), dosed at 2 mg per 2–6 kg body weight, administered orally once daily for seven days. Supportive therapy comprised Sangobion syrup and fish oil to promote erythropoiesis and enhance hair regrowth. After seven days of treatment, the nasal discharge was absent, and sneezing episodes were significantly reduced. Progressive hair regrowth and weight gain were observed, with marked improvement continuing up to day 100.

Abstract

Animal health conditions have a direct impact on the city's image, influencing local residents' and visitors' perceptions of neighborhood cleanliness, health and safety. The ease with which cats can breed opens up opportunities for the spread of ectoparasitic infestations such as Lynxacarus radovskyi. This study aimed to obtain information and scientific data on the prevalence of lynxacariosis cases and risk factors for its occurrence. A total of 81 cats were used with sample examination methods such as superficial skin scrapping, tape acetate preparation test, and trichogram. The results of this study found that the prevalence of lynxacariosis in Denpasar was 12.3% (10/81) and the risk factor associated with the incidence of lynxacariosis was age (r = 0.024) and it was found that age had an 8 times risk (OR = 8,270) for the spread of lynxacariosis in Denpasar. Lynxacariosis needs to be considered as one of the differential diagnoses in feline skin diseases where the characteristic sign of granules resembling “salt-and-pepper” is not always seen but the scale is often seen, this will help veterinarians provide appropriate and effective treatment for infected cats.

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.
