Abstract

The premunition stage of babesiosis poses a significant risk of relapse due to immune suppression. This report describes two cats that presented to a veterinary clinic with lethargy, anorexia of several days’ duration, watery eyes, and loose stools. Both cats were unvaccinated and lived in an open environment shared with their owners. Initial clinical evaluation suggested feline coronavirus (FCoV) infection and giardiasis; however, subsequent peripheral blood smears revealed intracellular parasites consistent with Babesia sp.. The initial treatment targeted viral and protozoal infections using antiprotozoal and antiviral agents for seven days, followed by a 21-day regimen of clindamycin and multivitamins to manage babesiosis. Hematological analysis and Giemsa-stained peripheral blood smears revealed anemia, thrombocytopenia, and persistent babesiosis. Clindamycin therapy effectively reduced parasitemia and alleviated clinical signs, including anemia, anorexia, and weakness, although complete clearance of Babesia sp. from the peripheral blood was not achieved at the administered dosage.

Abstract

Livestock farming plays a crucial role in providing food, raw materials, and essential services through animal breeding and management. This study aimed to provide an overview of the diseases affecting broiler chickens based on a case study from a commercial poultry company in Serang Regency, Banten Province, Indonesia. Data were collected from production cycles between 2021 and 2023, and disease identification was performed using a pathological diagnostic approach. The findings, presented descriptively in tabular form, indicated that broilers were affected by omphalitis, Newcastle disease, infectious bursal disease, chronic respiratory disease (CRD), colibacillosis, and aspergillosis. Colibacillosis was the most prevalent disease, with an incidence rate of 76%. These results highlight the importance of continuous disease monitoring and management to reduce mortality, maintain productivity, and ensure sustainability in the broiler industry

Abstract

Plak gigi adalah biofilm tipis yang terdiri dari bakteri yang menumpuk di permukaan gigi. Jika tidak dibersihkan dengan benar, plak dapat mengalami mineralisasi menjadi kalkulus gigi, yang berhubungan dengan berbagai masalah kesehatan mulut. Pada kucing, kondisi ini dapat menyebabkan kelainan gigi, seperti maloklusi dan resorpsi gigi; namun, laporan dari Indonesia masih terbatas. Studi ini menyelidiki hubungan antara kalkulus gigi dan gangguan gigi pada 45 kucing, serta faktor-faktor yang berkontribusi terhadap hubungan ini. Pemeriksaan klinis dilakukan untuk menilai pembentukan kalkulus dan mengidentifikasi kelainan gigi. Kuesioner terstruktur diberikan kepada pemilik kucing mengenai kesadaran dan praktik manajemen kesehatan mulut mereka. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dan menggunakan Uji Eksak Fisher untuk mengevaluasi hubungan antara kalkulus dan kelainan gigi. Dari 45 kucing yang diperiksa, 28 (62,2%) memiliki kalkulus gigi, yang mana delapan (28,6%) menunjukkan kelainan gigi. Survei pemilik mengungkapkan bahwa meskipun 82% menyadari adanya karang gigi, hanya 8,9% yang melaporkan melakukan pemeriksaan gigi rutin pada hewan peliharaan mereka. Kesimpulannya, kalkulus gigi berkontribusi secara signifikan terhadap perkembangan kelainan gigi pada kucing, dengan kebiasaan makan diidentifikasi sebagai faktor pengaruh utama.

Abstract

Bioinsecticides are natural compounds with toxic properties that can inhibit the growth and development of pests that affect crops and livestock. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a bioinsecticide formulation derived from red jatropha (Jatropha gossypiifolia) leaf extract combined with cattle urine against ectoparasites in cattle. The experiment was a completely randomized design (CRD) involving 200 flies, which were divided into four treatment groups with concentrations of 0%, 10%, 15%, and 20%, each replicated three times. The results demonstrated that the bioinsecticide formulation at a concentration of 20% had a significant effect on fly mortality compared to lower concentrations. These findings suggest that the combined use of 20 % red jatropha leaf extract and cattle urine is a promising and environmentally friendly alternative for controlling fly populations in cattle.

Abstract

Dermatitis is a common skin disorder in dogs, caused by a variety of factors including fungi, ectoparasites, bacteria, and metabolic diseases. This case report describes a 7-year-old male pug with dermatitis associated with Malassezia infection and concurrent otitis externa caused by bacterial and Malassezia infections. The dog exhibited clinical signs, including pruritus, erythema, scaling, hyperpigmentation, lichenification, malodor, oily coat, and wet, malodorous ear discharge. Cytological analysis of skin and ear samples, performed using acetate tape preparation and otic swabs, revealed the presence of Malassezia yeast and cocci-shaped bacteria. Hematological evaluation revealed normocytic normochromic anemia. Based on these findings, the dog was diagnosed with Malasseziosis and bacterial-Malassezia otitis externa. A comprehensive therapeutic regimen was implemented, including oral antifungal ketoconazole, sebazole shampoo, oticon ear drops, anti-inflammatory methylprednisolone, antihistamine chlorpheniramine maleate, and supportive supplementation with multivitamins (Livron B-plex) and fish oil. After 21 days of treatment, significant clinical improvement was observed, demonstrating the efficacy of this multimodal therapeutic approach.

Abstract

Hernia perineum adalah kondisi yang ditandai dengan melemahnya dan terpisahnya otot serta fasia yang menopang diafragma pelvis. Terbentuknya cincin hernia dapat disebabkan oleh cacat bawaan selama perkembangan embrio atau cedera traumatis. Penanganan standar untuk kondisi ini adalah hernioplasti, prosedur pembedahan yang bertujuan untuk memperbaiki dan memperkecil ukuran cincin hernia yang disebabkan oleh kelemahan otot. Seekor anjing Shih Tzu berusia 12 tahun datang ke Klinik Hewan Jogja, Indonesia dengan riwayat konstipasi. Pemeriksaan fisik menunjukkan adanya massa di regio pelvis dorsal, yang diidentifikasi sebagai akumulasi feses yang abnormal. Evaluasi diagnostik komprehensif, termasuk hematologi, biokimia serum, dan radiografi, dilakukan untuk memastikan diagnosis hernia perineum bilateral. Koreksi bedah melalui hernioplasti dilakukan untuk menutup cincin hernia. Penatalaksanaan pascaoperasi terdiri dari terapi antibiotik dan analgesik, suplementasi suportif, dan pengaturan pola makan.

Abstract

Stroke is a neurological disorder caused by impaired blood flow to specific regions of the brain, often resulting in paralysis and functional deficits in the affected area. Among its subtypes, ischemic stroke is the most prevalent in the general population. This study aimed to establish a rat model of ischemic stroke induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Eight male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 8–10 weeks were randomly assigned to two groups: control and treatment group. In the treatment group, the middle cerebral artery was occluded for 45 min. Neurological assessment using the Bederson scale revealed a neurological deficit score (NDS) of 1, characterized by contralateral flexion after left-brain injury. Hematological analysis demonstrated significantly higher white blood cell (WBC) counts (p < 0.05), whereas red blood cell (RBC) counts, hemoglobin concentration, and hematocrit values were significantly lower (p < 0.05) than those in the control group. These findings indicate that the MCAO method with a 45-minute occlusion successfully induced a mild neurological deficit accompanied by distinct hematological alterations, thereby providing a reproducible animal model for ischemic stroke research.

Abstract

This study profiled canine heartworm disease (CHD) cases recorded from 2020 to 2022 in veterinary clinics across Cabanatuan, Gapan, Muñoz, and San Jose, Nueva Ecija. Data from eight clinics included age, sex, breed, preventive history, and clinical signs. A total of 378 confirmed CHD cases were identified using rapid antigen tests. Most infections occurred in dogs aged over 13 months (63.85%), with slightly higher prevalence in males (54.35%) and toy breeds (62.27%). Notably, 90.77% of affected dogs had no record of heartworm prophylaxis. Coughing (86.28%) was the most frequent clinical sign. Cases peaked during the rainy season (June–November), with Cabanatuan City recording the highest number (n = 304). Statistical analysis indicated a significant correlation between CHD and age. These findings highlight the importance of year-round preventive care and increased owner awareness, particularly in high-risk areas.

Abstract

Canine diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic endocrine disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and metabolic imbalance, frequently leading to secondary complications such as neuropathic weakness. Abrielle, an eleven-year-old female Siberian Husky, presented to the small animal clinic with hind limb weakness that had persisted for three months. The dog also showed clinical signs of polydipsia, polyuria, and weight loss, despite an increased appetite. The owner reported that the dog’s daily diet consisted mainly of white rice with very little protein. Laboratory examination revealed hyperglycemia (423 mg/dL), elevated fructosamine levels (340 µmol/L), and glucose-positive dark brown urine. Based on these findings, the dog was diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Treatment with insulin was prescribed twice daily, and acupuncture therapy was recommended to support recovery and address hind limb weakness. Abrielle underwent acupuncture twice a week using electroacupuncture, dry needles, and aqua acupuncture. After four sessions, noticeable improvement in mobility was observed, and after three months, the dog’s body weight increased from 38.5 lbs to 48.5 lbs, with a more active and friendly demeanor.

Abstract

Feline arterial thromboembolism (FATE) is a life-threatening condition characterized by partial or complete arterial obstruction due to thrombus formation, most commonly secondary to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The resulting ischemia causes severe pain, which is often overlooked in clinical practice. The Feline Grimace Scale (FGS) provides a rapid and objective tool for pain assessment in cats. This report describes an adult female cat presenting with left hindlimb paresis, cyanosis, and femoral pulse deficit, with an initial FGS score of 6/10. Blood chemistry showed elevated creatine kinase (CK) levels, and echocardiography confirmed reduced femoral arterial flow and myocardial hypertrophy, consistent with HCM. A multimodal management approach was applied, including gabapentin, tramadol, clopidogrel, furosemide, and heparin therapy. Despite treatment, the affected limb developed gangrene, necessitating amputation. Preoperative analgesia consisted of pethidine, ketamine, and xylazine, followed by regional lidocaine nerve blocks and postoperative fentanyl continuous rate infusion. The surgical site healed completely within 21 days, and over a four-month follow-up period, the FGS score improved from 9 to 0, indicating complete pain resolution.
