Abstract

Feline Panleukopenia (FP) is an infectious disease caused by a virus that still often attacks cats of all ages and sex. This study aims to study the age and sex of cats suffering from feline panleukopnia. This study used 16 cats of all ages and sex that showed clinical signs of FP. All cats were examined clinically and blood samples were checked for total leukocytes. The results showed that all cats had leukopenia, so they were diagnosed with FP. The cats suffering from FP consisted of 3/16 cats (18.75%) < 7 months old, 9/16 cats (56.25%) 7-12 months old and 4/16 cats (25%) >12 months old. Based on sex, cats consist of 10/16 males (62.5%) and 6/16 females (37.5%). Based on this research, it was concluded that feline panleukopenia is more common in cats aged ≤12 months and male cats.

Abstract

Haemonchosis often be found in small ruminants, such as sheep. This is one of the reasons many farmers struggle with economic loss without their knowledge. Lack of knowledge about this disease and repetitive usage of the same anthelmintic could lead to anthelmintic resistance. The use of papaya leaves as an anthelmintic could be an alternative for this matter because they have active ingredients such as tannin, flavonoid, saponin, etc. Using nanotechnology to make this anthelmintic hopefully could alleviate the effect of this herb. Nano herb was made by extracting simplicias, homogenizing the emulsion with a homogenizer, and lastly displaying the emulsion with ultrasonication. The mean z-average of nano herb by Particle Size Analyzer is estimated to be 824,7 nm. In vitro tests with egg hatch assay showed that nano herbs could destroy 41,67% - 100% eggs. Larva motility inhibition test showed all larvae in the microtube were paralyzed in group NH25%. Adult H. contortus showed the earliest time of death at 17 minutes (± 10,12) in group NH25%. These conclude that papaya leaves in nano form could act as an anthelmintic to H. contortus in in vitro testing with the best effect in group NH25%.

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the effect of ransum containing fermented cattle's rumen content given to male rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) on the ratio between their meat and bone. The experimental design of this research was a completely randomized design using 20 male rabbits aged 3-4 months, which were divided into four treatment groups with five repetitions. The four treatments were P0: containing 40% of hay, P1: containing 20% of fermented rumen content, P2: containing 40% of fermented rumen content, and P3: containing 60% of fermented rumen content. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used as the statistical analysis method, followed by the Duncan Multiple Range Test, which was conducted through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The result of P2 showed that there was a significant difference (p<0.05) between the total meat and bone, but there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the meat and bone ratio compared to P0. It was concluded that a ransum containing 40% of fermented rumen content could be considered as a part of the rabbit’s ransum because it might help improve the total amount of meat and bone. However, the usage of fermented rumen content with the percentages of 20%, 40%, and 60% did not affect the meat and bone ratio significantly.

Abstract

Ehrlichiosis is caused by bacteria of the genus Ehrlichia, which are transmitted by arthropod vectors, particularly the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Mites of the genus Demodex cause demodicosis, which often occurs secondarily as a result of malnutrition or immunosuppressive conditions in dogs. Dermatophytosis in dogs can be caused by various fungal species, one of which is Microsporum sp., a zoonotic pathogen. This case report discusses a one-year-old local female dog with a combined infection of Ehrlichia canis, Microsporum sp., and Demodex sp. The dog exhibited clinical signs of pruritus, alopecia, skin lesions, and pale mucous membranes. Hematological examination indicated leukopenia, macrocytic hypochromic anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Serological testing revealed the presence of antibodies to Ehrlichia sp. Skin scraping and fungal culture confirmed a Demodex sp. infestation and a dermatophytosis infection caused by Microsporum sp. Treatment included intravenous fluids, doxycycline antibiotics, hematodin, and neurotropic agents. Although the patient initially showed clinical improvement, the condition worsened and ultimately resulted in death. This case emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and comprehensive management of multi-etiological infections in dogs.

Abstract

Deep pyoderma is a bacterial skin infection that affects the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. A 1-year-old female Persian mix local breed cat presented with complaints of itching for 5 days, accompanied by frequent scratching. On physical examination, dry lesions and wet lesions were found in the form of ulcers in the mandibularis and cranial sinister extremities, and moist wounds in the mandibularis dexter area, as well as alopecia and debris in the mandibularis, cervicalis sinister et dexter, axilla dexter, and cranial sinister extremities. Hematology examination showed leukopenia, lymphocytosis, and granulocytopenia. Cytologic examination found cocci-shaped bacteria. Based on history taking, physical examination, and supporting examination, the cat was diagnosed with deep pyoderma. The treatment given was amoxycilline-clavulanic acid at a dose of 62.5 mg/cat q12h PO for 7 days, betamethasone-neomycin sulfate twice a day until the wound heals, dexamethasone injection at a dose of 0.07 mg/kg BW q24h IM and continued with the administration of methylprednisolone PO at a dose of 2 mg/cat q12h for 3 days, fish oil softcapsules once a day for 7 days besides being given chlorhexidine gluconate 4%. The results of 24 days of treatment showed that the cat's skin condition had improved.

Abstract

Chronic bronchitis is common in cats, characterized by chronic neutrophilic inflammation of the bronchi and coughing and sneezing for more than two months. Cats can also be infected with ectoparasites such as fleas and mites. This article aims to provide information on the management of chronic bronchitis with symptomatic therapy through nebulization. A 1-year-old male domestic cat, weighing 2.15 kg, presented with a 3-month history of sneezing with mucopurulent nasal discharge, stridor, dry rales, and erythematous lesions, crusting, and alopecia on the ears. Hematologic examination indicated leukocytosis, lymphocytosis, and thrombocytopenia. A chest radiograph revealed a bronchial pattern and cytology of the nasal discharge revealed coccobacillus bacteria. Deep skin scrapings and flea combing identified Notoedres sp. and Felicola subrostratus. The cat was diagnosed with chronic bronchitis with scabies and fleas, with a favorable prognosis. Oral therapy with amoxiclav and methylprednisolone, and inhaled salbutamol. Spot-on therapy with fipronil and (s)-metophrene and 6% sulfur for ectoparasites, as well as Livron B-Plex® and fish oil. On the fourteenth day, clinical and laboratory evaluations showed recovery, while platelet counts returned to normal thirty days after therapy. Cats should be monitored regularly, their vitamin and mineral needs met, and vaccinations administered.

Abstract

Cattle raised on palm oil plantations are susceptible to parasitic infections due to environmental conditions, necessitating regular health monitoring by governmental veterinary authorities. These infections pose significant health risks, affecting cattle welfare and leading to economic losses such as diminished reproductive efficiency, reduced milk production, and weight decline. A study conducted in Pangkalan Lada, Central Kalimantan, examined parasitic infections in cattle managed by an integrated palm oil company. Sampling efforts began in 2017, with 72 fecal and 72 blood smear samples submitted to the Balai Besar Veteriner Banjarbaru in South Kalimantan. Subsequent years saw 147 fecal and 135 blood smear samples collected in 2018 and 76 fecal and 91 blood smear samples in 2019. Fecal samples were randomly collected from the rectum, while blood samples were drawn from the coccygeal vein. Disease prevalence was calculated using the formula: prevalence = (number of cases) / (population at risk). The study focused on gastrointestinal parasites (Trichostrongylus sp., Oesophagostomum sp., Eimeria sp., Cooperia sp.) and blood parasites (Babesia sp., Theileria sp.). Results revealed peak gastrointestinal parasitism in 2018, while blood parasitism was highest in 2017. These findings underscore the need for ongoing health management in cattle within plantation systems.
