Abstract

Although cats are highly popular pets due to their high reproductive rates and good adaptability, many cat owners still neglect the necessary care for their pets, which can lead to the development of diseases. Therefore, it is important to thoroughly examine and correctly identify the diseases in cats so that appropriate treatment can be administered. The case involves a male cat named Lusi, aged 3 months, weighing 0.8 kg, a local breed with black and white fur, who has been reported to have sneezing and eye problems. A thorough physical examination was carried out, including pre-presence status and clinical assessment, focusing on the eyes and respiratory organs. Laboratory tests conducted included routine hematology, cytology of nasal and eye swabs, X-ray, Fluorescein Stain test, tonometry, and Rapid Antigen Test (Feline Calicivirus and Feline Herpesvirus). Clinical examination results showed mucopurulent discharge from the nose and both eyes, with conjunctival swelling and redness. Laboratory hematology results indicated anemia and leukocytosis, while cytological examination of the nasal and eye swabs revealed inflammatory neutrophil cells and bacteria. Fluorescein test, tonometry, and X-ray of the head and thoracic cavities were normal, and the antigen tests (Feline Calicivirus and Feline Herpesvirus) returned negative results. The cat was diagnosed with rhinitis accompanied by conjunctivitis with a favorable prognosis. This was supported by the anamnesis, clinical examination, and other supporting tests. The case was treated with antibiotics for seven days, resulting in improvement as the discharge and sneezing resolved. Owners are advised to pay more attention to maintaining a clean and healthy environment for their cats, as damp or dirty environments can foster the growth of bacteria and viruses that cause upper respiratory infections.

Abstract

Research on the total and differential leukocytes of post-vaccination laying hens which was carried out on commercial farms in Tabanan Regency, Bali aims to determine and study the effect of combination vaccines Newcastle Disease LaSota strains and Infectious Bronchitis on the total number and types of leukocytes in the blood. A total of 40 laying hens aged 30 weeks were taken using purposive sampling for the research sample. Chicken blood samples were taken four times, starting from pre-vaccination to three weeks post-vaccination. The total leukocyte count is checked using a hemocytometer, while the leukocyte differential is checked using a blood smear. Data from total and differential leukocyte examination results were analyzed quantitatively descriptively. The results showed that there was a significant effect (p<0.05) on total leukocytes, heterophils, eosinophils and lymphocytes, and no significant effect (p>0.05) on basophils and monocytes.

Abstract

Dipylidium caninum is a tapeworm that inhabits the small intestine of dogs and cats, particularly in warm and humid regions. It has an indirect life cycle that requires fleas as intermediate hosts and vertebrates as definitive hosts. This parasite is considered zoonotic because it can be transmitted to humans through ingestion of infected fleas or dog ticks. Dogs are common companion animals that require proper care and management, both for their health and for the well-being of the humans who keep them. The case animal in this report is a female dog named Aci, 4 months old, weighing 4.2 kg, with orchid-brown hair. This study was conducted to identify D. caninum infection in this dog. Based on the anamnesis, physical examination, clinical assessment, and supporting diagnostic tests, the dog was diagnosed with D. caninum infection, with a favorable prognosis. Causal therapy was administered using a deworming medication (Caniverm®), at a dose of ½ tablet containing fenbendazole, pyrantel embonate, and praziquantel. Supportive therapy included vitamin B-complex (Livron B.plex tablets), and fish oil was provided to promote hair growth. Evaluation of the dog’s condition five days after therapy indicated significant improvement, as evidenced by fecal examination showing no presence of worms. Routine deworming is recommended every three months. Infected animals should be quarantined to prevent transmission to other pets, bathed regularly, and kept in a clean environment. Feces in the yard should be promptly removed to reduce the risk of reinfection.

Abstract

Dogs are one of the most beloved pets kept by humans. Its relatively easy maintenance makes dogs so popular in all circles. Dogs have the potential to be a place for ectoparasites to live because they have soft and warm hair which is a favorable environment for ectoparasites. The purpose of this article is to find out how to diagnose, manage and treat cases of ectoparasite infestation in dogs. The case animal is a female dog weighing 5 kg in which the dog has skin problems with itching with a pruritus score of 7/10, an ulcer on the neck and alopecia on several parts of the body, on microscopic examination identified and found the presence of ectoparasites Heterodoxus sp. and Rhipicephalus sanguineus. The treatment used wormectin and diphenhydramine as causative treatment, and Chlorpheniramine maleate (CTM) and dexamethasone and amoxicillin as symptomatic. Two weeks of treatment showed good results, with the pruritus score decreasing to 3/10, and the ulcer caused by scratching closed completely, and the alopesia had grown hair although short. It is recommended that dogs be quarantined during treatment to prevent transmission, accompanied by bathing the dog twice a week and maintaining the cleanliness of the cage and environment to prevent the development of infectious agents.
