Abstract

Mud Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is a livestock that plays a role in the economy, social and cultural community, especially in Jembrana Regency, Bali. This study aims to determine the prevalence of trematode worm infections, especially Paramphistomum sp. worms, in Mud Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) used in the makepung tradition in Jembrana Regency. The study used an observational cross-sectional method. The sample used in this study was fresh feces with a total sample of 120 buffaloes collected from three sub-districts, namely Negara, Melaya, and Mendoyo. Sample testing was carried out at the Parasitology Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Udayana University using sedimentation and Parfitt and Banks methods, then the data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed the prevalence of Paramphistomum sp. in mud buffalo was 8.33% (10/120). The Chi-square test showed that the risk factors of region, age, and maintenance management (stall system, type of stall floor, and stall cleanliness) in the statistical test had no relationship (P>0.05) with the prevalence. Meanwhile, the feed source category had a significant relationship (P<0.05). This study is can provide scientific information on the prevalence of Paramphistomum sp. infection as a basis for controlling parasitic diseases in Makepung buffalo in the Jembrana region.

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease in dogs that is often characterized by pruritus, damage to the skin barrier, and impaired protein metabolism. This study aimed to determine the effect of the combination of coconut oil and diphenhydramine on albumin and total protein levels in dogs with atopic dermatitis. A total of 15 dogs were diagnosed with atopic dermatitis. This study used a pre-test and post-test design with treatment for 28 days in the form of giving coconut oil once a day and diphenhydramine twice a day. Blood samples were taken before and after treatment to analyze albumin and total protein levels using automated biochemical tools. The results showed an increase in albumin levels from 2.31 g/dL on day 0 to 2.82 g/dL on day 28 (p<000) and an increase in total protein from 6.17 g/dL on day 0 to 7.24 g/dL on day 28 (p<001), which statistically showed a statistically significant effect. It can be concluded the combination therapy of coconut oil and diphenhydramine has a significant effect on increasing albumin and total protein levels in dogs with atopic dermatitis. It is recommended that follow-up studies be conducted with the control group and that sampling frequency be conducted once a week to determine the specific contribution of each therapy.

Abstract

Newcastle disease (ND), coccidiosis, and colisepticemia are major infectious diseases in broiler chickens that can lead to high economic losses due to increased morbidity and mortality. The subject of this case study is a 28-day-old broiler chickens from one of the closed house farms in Pering Village, Blahbatuh District, Gianyar Regency, Bali. This case study aims to establish a diagnosis based on medical history, epidemiological data, clinical symptoms, anatomical pathology, histopathology, and laboratory test results. Clinical symptoms of the affected chickens included subcutaneous emphysema, feather loss covering nearly two-thirds of the abdominal and chest areas, feather loss, decreased appetite over the past four days, sneezing, watery diarrhea mixed with green and white mucus, blackened comb tips, and clear yellow exudate from the nasal cavity. Epidemiological survey results showed a morbidity rate of 2.6%, a mortality rate of 1.8%, and a case fatality rate (CFR) of 71%. Pathological anatomy examination results indicated that nearly all organs showed hemorrhage, with some organs exhibiting enlargement, white spots, and soft consistency. Similar findings were observed in histopathology, with nearly all organs showing inflammatory changes characterized by lymphocyte, neutrophil, macrophage infiltration, hemorrhage, necrosis, and edema. Hemagglutination (HA) testing showed a titer of 23 HAU, while hemagglutination inhibition (HI) testing was confirmed the presence of ND virus. Bacterial culture result of organ samples using Eosin Methylene Blue Agar (EMBA) medium was positive result for Escherichia coli, and fecal examination identified Eimeria spp. Therefore, it was concluded that the infected chickens were diagnosed with Newcastle disease, coccidiosis, and colisepticemia. These multiple infections contributed to the severity of clinical signs and high case fatality, highlighting the need for effective prevention and biosecurity measures.

Abstract

Ventral hernia is an abnormality in the median abdomen in the form of a lump caused by incomplete closure of the abdominal wall so that the visceral organs or omentum come out of the abdominal cavity. This case study aims to determine how to diagnose and treat cases of ventral hernia in female cats. A 2-year-old female tortie mix cat weighing 3.58 kg with clinical signs of a lump in the ventral abdomen after an ovariohysterectomy. Supporting examinations were carried out in the form of radiography (x-ray) to support the diagnosis and the results showed a radiolucent image in the area of ​​the lump containing fatty tissue (omentum). The cat was diagnosed with ventral hernia with a fausta prognosis. Treatment was carried out by laparotomy surgery to reposition the contents of the hernia into the abdominal cavity with general anesthesia using a combination of xylazine and ketamine. The closure of the abdominal wall and peritoneum was sutured with a simple interrupted pattern and the subcutaneous part with a simple continuous pattern and combined with subcuticular pattern sutures using Polyglycolic acid 3-0 thread. Postoperatively, the cat was given antibiotiks cefotaxime sodium (20 mg/kg BW, IV, q12h) for 3 consecutive days and continued with Cefixime (10 mg/kg BW, PO, q12h) for 5 consecutive days. On the 11th day, the cat was declared cured with the surgical wound that had healed and dried perfectly with normal appetite and drinking, smooth defecation and urination. It is recommended for owners not to take this condition lightly and a veterinary examination is required to prevent complications that could endanger the animal's health.

Abstract

An emergency is a condition that requires rapid and appropriate action to prevent a situation that can guarantee safety. This condition occurred in a 2-year-old local male cat that had not been spayed and presented with extreme weakness, dysuria, oliguria, and decreased consciousness with a very weak body response. Physical examination showed a tense bladder palpation, slow skin turgor, dry mucosa, tachycardia, and weak pulse, indicating an emergency condition due to dehydration and possible urinary tract obstruction. Supporting examinations included urinalysis, SDMA, hematology, and ultrasound. Results showed an alkaline urine pH, struvite crystals, a positive urease bacterial infection, and hyperechoic material in the bladder. The patient was diagnosed with hemorrhagic cystitis with a questionable prognosis. Treatment consisted of stabilizing the patient's condition using warmers and Ringer's Lactate infusion fluid therapy, followed by drug therapy using the antibiotic ciprofloxacin for 14 days, acidifying with Acidurin for 7 days, supportive care with Cystaid for 14 days, ipakitine for 7 days and changing the feed to WetFood for the Urinary Tract. The results of the therapy showed positive results, with the patient's condition improving. Prevention of urinary tract disorders is done by maintaining cleanliness, ensuring adequate water intake, providing special food, and immediately consulting a veterinarian if there are symptoms of difficulty urinating.

Abstract

Snakebite envenoming is a significant neglected tropical disease in Indonesia, characterized by high incidence and mortality. This literature review aims to analyze the gap in antivenom availability and its impact on snakebite mortality in Indonesia. This study employs a systematic literature review methodology, synthesizing data from scientific journals, government reports, and news media. The results indicate a critical public health crisis driven by several interconnected factors. First, there is a severe discrepancy between Indonesia's high venomous snake biodiversity (77 species) and the extremely limited coverage of its nationally produced antivenom, Serum Anti Bisa Ular (SABU), which is only effective against three species. Second, scientific analysis reveals that SABU has suboptimal purity and neutralization potency, even against its target venoms, necessitating larger doses and increasing the risk of adverse reactions. Third, systemic barriers, including a lack of reliable epidemiological data, a fragmented distribution chain concentrating antivenom in urban centers, widespread public misinformation about first aid, and inadequate healthcare worker training, create a broken "chain of survival." The convergence of these factors results in an estimated mortality rate of 10%, five times the global average, with only about 10% of victims who need antivenom actually receiving it. The recent issuance of a national snakebite management guideline in 2023 is a positive step, but it cannot overcome the fundamental lack of appropriate therapeutic tools. This review concludes that high mortality is a direct consequence of this multifaceted antivenom gap. It is recommended that the government prioritize the development of new, region-specific polyvalent antivenoms and overhaul the national supply chain to ensure equitable access.
