Abstract

Salmonella gallinarum, the causative agent of fowl typhoid, is a highly pathogenic bacterial disease associated with substantial mortality in poultry, predominantly affecting adult chickens and turkeys. This study aimed to describe the pathological lesions and microbiological characteristics of S. gallinarum infection in chickens with fowl typhoid. S. gallinarum is a gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultative anaerobic bacterium with an optimal growth temperature of 37 °C and the ability to survive across a broad pH range (4.0–9.0). Necropsy findings in affected chickens revealed interstitial pneumonia of the lungs, intestinal hyperemia with petechial hemorrhages, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, and fatty degeneration of the cardiac tissue. Bacterial culture of intestinal swab samples on MacConkey agar demonstrated the growth of pale-yellow colonies consistent with S. gallinarum. Microscopic examination confirmed Gram-negative bacilli, while biochemical testing showed an alkaline/acid reaction, absence of gas and H₂S production, non-motility, and negative indole and urease reactions

Abstract

Psittacines are vulnerable to bacterial diseases, including gram-negative infections. A key challenge in treating these birds is antibiotic resistance, where antibiotics become ineffective against the bacteria. This study aimed to identify gram-negative bacteria present in 11 fecal samples of psittacine from Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) in East Jakarta, as well as to determine the presence of antibiotic resistance in these bacteria. In this study, bacteria were isolated using MacConkey Agar media, followed by Gram staining and biochemical tests for bacterial identification. Antibiotic resistance testing was conducted using the Kirby-Bauer method against seven antibiotics. The results of bacterial identification showed the presence of Klebsiella sp., Proteus mirabilis, and Escherichia coli in the fecal samples of Psittacine from TMII. Resistance to the antibiotics nalidixic acid, doxycycline, tetracycline, gentamicin, erythromycin, cefotaxime, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was observed, with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole demonstrating the lowest resistance rate among fecal Psittacine bacteria.

Abstract

Anjing geriatrik mengalami penurunan fungsi organ secara progresif seiring bertambahnya usia, sehingga pemeriksaan kesehatan rutin sangat penting untuk deteksi dini gangguan terkait usia yang asimtomatik. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi status kesehatan anjing geriatrik menggunakan analisis profil darah komprehensif. Sampel darah dikumpulkan dari enam anjing berusia 10 tahun yang dirawat intensif di Klinik Pendidikan Hewan, Program Studi Paramedis Hewan, Universitas IPB, Bogor, Indonesia. Pemeriksaan hematologi dan biokimia serum dilakukan, termasuk penilaian AST, ALT, protein total, albumin, globulin, rasio A/G, bilirubin total, ALP, kolesterol, GGT, BUN, kreatinin, dan kadar glukosa. Pemeriksaan darah dilakukan dua kali dengan interval sekitar empat minggu. Semua anjing geriatrik menunjukkan bukti penurunan status kesehatan, yang ditandai dengan perubahan pada beberapa parameter hitung darah lengkap, termasuk trombositopenia, leukositosis, dan limfositosis ringan. Selain itu, perubahan pada profil biokimia juga diamati, terutama peningkatan kadar AST dan BUN pada beberapa anjing. Temuan ini menyoroti pentingnya pemantauan hematologi dan biokimia secara teratur pada anjing geriatrik untuk mendukung deteksi dini dan penanganan klinis penurunan fisiologis terkait usia.

Abstract

Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is a vector-borne disease that affects dogs. This study characterized CME epidemiological profiles by examining associations with age, sex, breed, clinical manifestations, acaricide use, and case distribution in veterinary clinics in Nueva Ecija, Philippines. A total of 1,117 CME-positive cases were collected from eight clinics in Cabanatuan, Muñoz, San Jose, and Gapan City between 2021 and 2022. Diagnosis used commercial rapid test kits. Statistical analyses revealed significant associations between CME prevalence and age, breed, and patient demographics. Cabanatuan City reported the highest number of cases (n = 508). Sex and seasonal variation showed no significant associations with CME occurrence, although cases increased during the hot months (March–June).

Abstract

Rhipicephalus sanguineus is a well-recognized vector of tick-borne diseases, including babesiosis and ehrlichiosis, in dogs. This case report describes the successful therapeutic management of concurrent babesiosis and ehrlichiosis using imidocarb dipropionate and doxycycline. A 10-month-old male domestic dog presented with anorexia, weakness, pyrexia, erythema on the medial aspect of the hind limb, and heavy tick infestation. Complete blood count analysis revealed leukopenia, granulocytopenia, increased mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and thrombocytopenia. Blood smear examination revealed the presence of intraerythrocytic parasites and Ehrlichia morulae within the monocytes. In addition, a rapid antibody test yielded positive results for Babesia spp. and Ehrlichia spp. The dog was treated with a comprehensive therapeutic regimen consisting of fluralaner, imidocarb dipropionate, doxycycline, and supportive supplementation with multi-vitamins and minerals. Twenty-eight days after initiation of therapy, the dog showed marked clinical improvement, as evidenced by the absence of blood-borne pathogens on smear examination and substantial recovery of hematological parameters

Abstract

Environmental conditions play a critical role in disease transmission in companion animals, particularly in humid settings that facilitate pathogen proliferation and spread. Mycoleptodiscus indicus is an opportunistic, saprobic, and endophytic fungus that causes systemic infections in various hosts, including humans. This case report describes a fatal M. indicus infection in a kitten. Diagnosis involves clinical examination, cytology, fungal culture, necropsy, and histopathological analysis. Gross pathology revealed swelling and hemorrhage in the heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver, with pulmonary necrosis and hemorrhage. Histopathological examination revealed the presence of fungal spores in the pulmonary tissue. Cytological and culture analyses confirmed the presence of M. indicus. The kitten's death resulted from respiratory invasion by M. indicus spores, which led to systemic dissemination and sepsis.

Abstract

Malassezia spp. are part of the commensal microbiota on the skin and ears of dogs; however, under certain conditions, they can overgrow, triggering otitis externa. Systemic therapy is effective; however, its use is limited by its potential for resistance and hepatotoxic effects. This article reports a case of dextra otitis externa caused by Malassezia spp. in a 1.5-year-old male dog. On initial examination, the dog showed swelling of the right ear flap, scratching wounds, yellowish exudate, narrowing of the ear canal, as well as alopecia, erythema, and nodules on the ear flap and neck. The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical examination and cytology, which revealed the presence of Malassezia spp. The treatment consisted of ear cleaning with a 3% chlorhexidine solution (topical, q12h for 14 days), bathing with a 2% miconazole nitrate-medicated shampoo, and additional therapy with antibiotics, prednisone, chlorpheniramine maleate, and supplements. Evaluation at the 7-day post-treatment follow-up showed a marked clinical improvement. At the 25-day post-treatment follow-up, the patient recovered without recurrence. This case report confirms that topical antifungal therapy with supportive therapy is effective for the treatment of Malassezia spp. in dogs.

Abstract

Canine transmissible venereal tumors (CTVT) are one of the few naturally occurring transmissible cancers in mammals and pose a significant challenge to canine populations worldwide. Transmitted through coitus, this contagious round-cell neoplasm affects the external genitalia of dogs, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis to prevent tumor progression and limit transmission. Cytological evaluation provides a rapid, reliable, and minimally invasive diagnostic approach that enables the definitive identification of CTVT based on its cellular morphology. A two-year-old intact male domestic dog presented with chronic preputial discharge and genital discomfort. Physical examination revealed a reddish, cauliflower-like mass at the base of the penis. Cytological analysis of the preputial exudate revealed numerous round lymphoblast-like cells with a high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio, prominent nucleoli, and frequent mitotic figures, consistent with CTVT. No therapeutic interventions were performed. This case reinforces the value of cytological examination as a diagnostic tool for genital tumors in dogs, facilitating prompt clinical decision-making and supporting disease management in endemic regions.

Abstract

Congenital anorectal malformations, including atresia ani, are uncommon conditions in small animals that cause gastrointestinal dysfunction. This case report describes the surgical management and outcomes of type III atresia ani in a juvenile dog. A one-month-old female mixed-breed puppy presented with severe tenesmus, progressive abdominal distension, and complete absence of normal faecal passage. Clinical examination identified an anal dimple lacking a functional opening, accompanied by a small ventral perineal fistula. Radiographic assessment confirmed type III atresia ani, characterised by a blind-ending rectal pouch located more than 1 cm cranial to the anal dimple and associated with marked megacolon. Surgical intervention was performed via anoplasty, combined with manual evacuation of the impacted faeces and temporary anal stenting using a 1-cc syringe port to maintain luminal patency. Postoperative management included broad-spectrum antibiotics, lactulose, analgesic therapy, and meticulous wound care. Although normal defaecation was restored, the patient developed tenesmus, incomplete evacuation, and faecal incontinence. These complications are associated with irreversible megacolon and anal sphincter dysfunction. Conservative therapy failed to achieve improvement, indicating the need for surgical intervention.
