Abstract

Urolithiasis is a condition where uroliths or crystals form excessively in the urinary tract, such as the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra. Specifically, the presence of uroliths in the urinary bladder is called cystolithiasis. Risk factors for urolithiasis can include several aspects, namely urinary tract infections, feed, lack of drinking water intake, gender, race, age, and obesity factors. The case cat named Kiko with a domestic short hair breed, 3 years old, male with black and white hair and weighing 6 kg has had difficulty urinating since February 26, 2025. The results of the physical examination showed that the cat had dysuria, stranguria and hematuria. Ultrasonography examination found crystals in the urinary bladder and thickening of the mucosal wall of the urinary bladder. The results of the native and sedimentation examinations showed struvite crystals in the patient's urine. The results of the urine chemistry examination showed an increase in leukocytes and blood in the urine and a urine pH of 8.5. Treatment was carried out by installing a urinary catheter to flush the urinary bladder. Drug therapy given was by administering the antibiotic cefadroxil, the anti-inflammatory dexamethasone, and probiotics. To prevent the risk of this disease recurring, dietary changes were made by providing prescribe urinary feed.

Abstract

Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease in cats, characterized by ulcerative and/or proliferative lesions of the oral mucosa, with a reported prevalence of 10.9%–26% in certain populations. Its etiology presumably involves an abnormal cellular immune response to persistent antigens. In some cases, eosinophilic infiltration suggests involvement of the Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex (EGC). This report describes the clinical management and therapeutic response of a cat with FCGS and suspected EGC lesions. A 5-year-old male domestic cat presented with a history of painful mastication beginning in August 2024 and reccured in October 2024; intraoral examination revealed gingival ulceration and proliferation, while Diff-Quik cytology confirmed infiltration by eosinophils, hypersegmented neutrophils, and macrophages. A 7-day inpatient regimen of commercial wet food to reduce masticatory trauma, systemic glucocorticoids (methylprednisolone p.o. 1 mg/kg with tapering), and daily topical triamcinolone resulted in rapid clinical improvement—marked by reduced pain, decreased gingival inflammation, and a significant drop in inflammatory cells on repeat cytology. The combination of dietary texture modification and glucocorticoid therapy proved effective in reducing short-term inflammation in FCGS with suspected EGC, although mucosal biopsy remains recommended to confirm definitive remission and guide long-term follow-up.

Abstract

Ehrlichiosis is a tick-borne bacterial infection caused by several Ehrlichia species, including E. canis, E. chaffeensis, and E. ewingii. The bacteria are primarily transmitted by ticks of the genera Rhipicephalus and Amblyomma. A 4-year-old mixed-breed female dog named Cookie was presented with anorexia and lameness. Physical examination revealed an infestation of Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks on the dorsal and ventral body areas and around the ears, along with mildly pale mucous membranes. Complete blood count (CBC) results indicated leukopenia, granulocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, increased mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and decreased plateletcrit (PCT). Microscopic examination of a blood smear showed round, purplish-blue inclusions within the cytoplasm of monocytes. A rapid test confirmed the presence of Ehrlichia antibodies. Based on anamnesis, clinical findings, and laboratory results, the dog was diagnosed with ehrlichiosis. The treatment included sarolaner (Simparica®), doxycycline (Dohixat®), and multivitamins (Livron B-plex®). After 28 days of therapy, the dog showed marked clinical improvement, with normal appetite and hematological parameters returning to reference ranges.

Abstract

Newcastle Disease (ND) remains a major threat to the poultry industry, and while vaccination is essential, the immune response can be inconsistent. This study evaluated the potential of Phyllanthus niruri L. (meniran) extract as an immunomodulator to enhance the humoral immune response in broilers post-ND vaccination. A total of 30 one-day-old broilers, vaccinated against ND, were divided into three treatment groups: P0 (control, no extract), P1 (extract at 5 mg/kg BW/day via drinking water from day 3 to 17), and P2 (extract from day 3 to 24). Antibody titers were measured using the Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) test and analysed with ANOVA using SPSS software. The results demonstrated that meniran extract significantly increased antibody titters compared to the control (P<0.05). Group P2, which received the extract until day 24, achieved the highest mean titter (6.1 log2 HI units), followed by P1 (4.4 log2) and the control P0 (4.0 log2). Data analysis confirmed a positive relationship between the duration of extract administration and antibody levels. In conclusion, Phyllanthus niruri L. extract is an effective immunomodulator that significantly enhances the ND vaccine-induced antibody response in broilers, with a longer administration period yielding a more robust effect.

Abstract

Stray cats frequently present with varous dermatological abnormalities and are susceptible to vulnus morsum (bite wounds) from fights with other animals. In this case report discusses a male domestic cat, aged >1 year and weighing 2 kg, presented to the cilinic with foul-smelling wounds exhibiting signs of suppuration and necrosis on all four limbs, face, and jaw area due to a systemic infection. This study aims to evaluate the effect of supplementary egg white albumin powder on accelerating the wound healing process. The provided therapy included Limoxin spray, long-acting amoxicillin injection, Glucortin injection, and oral supplementation of Bio trans factor®, a combination of albumin powder from egg white extract, vitamin A, vitamin E, egg yolk extract, depp-sea fish oil, and chana fish extract-administered at 2.5 g twice daily for 7 days. Observation results indicated that the combination therapy was effective in promoting new skin and fur growth and significantly reducing wound size by day. It concluded that supplementation with egg white albumin powder and supportive nutrients may serve as an effective adjuvant therapy for accelerating the healing of complex wounds in cats. Suggestions are needed for similar research with more complete examinations such as hematological examinations to see the effect of albumin administration on the hematological profile of cats or tissue examination using histological anatomical analysis.

Abstract

Fetal mummification is a gestational disorder in animals. The mummified fetus remains in the mother's uterus until the normal gestation period. In cats, cases of fetal mummification are relatively low and often go undiagnosed, especially in cats living in the wild. Radiographic and ultrasonographic examinations are the primary diagnostic methods for identifying the fetus. A procedure known as an ovariohysterectomy can be used to address fetal mummification. This paper aims to explain the diagnostic process and treatment of fetal mummification on a cat. A 7-year-old queen weighing 3 kg presented with abdominal swelling. Palpation revealed a hard mass. Radiographic examination revealed an oval-shaped mass in the lower abdomen. The mass was removed by an ovariohysterectomy procedure. The surgical results revealed two mummified fetuses in the mother's uterus. Post-operatively, the antibiotic Clanexi®, anti-inflammatory Macrolone® and Bevalex® ointment were given. Postoperative wound healing was observed after 7 days, and the cat showed good recovery. Sterilization can reduce cases of mummification, especially in stray cats. This paper can be used as a reference for the management of mummification cases in cats.

Abstract

This case report documents a fatal co-infection of Canine Parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) and the nematode Toxocara canis in a 2.5-month-old, unvaccinated female local puppy in Denpasar, Bali. The animal presented with acute clinical signs including anorexia, vomiting, hemorrhagic diarrhea, and severe dehydration, leading to death. A comprehensive post-mortem examination was conducted, including necropsy, histopathology, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), bacteriology, and parasitology. PCR analysis confirmed a CPV-2 infection, demonstrated by a 900 bp DNA amplicon. Macroscopic findings included multi-organ hemorrhages, cardiac enlargement with a blunt apex, and intestinal necrosis. Histopathology revealed widespread lymphocytic inflammation. Concurrently, parasitological examination identified a significant T. canis infection, evidenced by six adult worms in the large intestine and numerous eggs and larvae in the feces. While Escherichia coli was isolated from the intestines, no other systemic bacterial pathogens were detected. It was concluded that the synergistic pathogenicity of the CPV-2 and T. canis co-infection was the cause of death, with the parvovirus causing severe intestinal damage and immunosuppression, which was exacerbated by the parasitic burden. This case highlights the importance of integrated diagnostic approaches and underscores the critical need for regular deworming and routine vaccination in preventing such fatal disease combinations in puppies.

Abstract

Ventral hernia is an abnormality of the abdominal wall that is generally caused by traumatic factors, characterized by a lump containing abdominal visceral organs but still covered by skin and subcutaneous tissue. A two-year-old female domestic cat weighing 3 kg presented with a soft lump on the ventral abdomen for five months. The contents of the lump could be pushed into the abdominal cavity during palpation, but reappeared after pressure was released. Physical examination revealed a hernia opening and hernia contents. Supporting examination using radiography with barium sulfate (BaSO4) contrast showed that the cat had a ventral hernia containing the intestine with a favorable prognosis. The surgical procedure was performed using laparotomy to reposition the hernia contents back into the abdominal cavity and close the abdominal cavity with sutures. The surgery was performed under general anesthesia using a combination of xylazine at a dose of 1 mg/kg BW and ketamine at a dose of 5 mg/kg BW intravenously through a gradual infusion.  Postoperatively, the cat was given the antibiotic Cefotaxime Sodium at a dose of 20 mg/kg BW twice daily for three days intravenously through an infusion, followed by Cefixime at a dose of 10 mg/kg BW twice daily for seven days orally. On the tenth day, the surgical wound showed good healing, characterized by a dry wound, removal of sutures, good appetite and drinking, and normal defecation and urination. For optimal results, post-operative care must still be considered, including monitoring the condition of the wound and the overall physical condition of the animal.

Abstract

A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence, associated risk factors, and hematological impact of tick infestation on Bali cattle in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. A total of 296 cattle from 10 districts were examined using purposive sampling. Data on risk factors (sex, age, management system, control methods) were collected via farmer questionnaires. Hematological profiles were assessed from infested animals. The overall prevalence of tick infestation was high at 60.13%, with significant variation between districts, ranging from 34.61% (Tanete Riattang Barat) to 89.66% (Palakka). Multivariate analysis identified sex, management system, and tick control practices as significant risk factors (p < 0.05) associated with infestation, whereas age was not a significant predictor. Despite the high infestation rate, all measured hematological parameters in infested cattle fell within normal physiological ranges. These findings highlight a high burden of tick infestation in the region and underscore the critical need for targeted control strategies focused on the identified risk factors to improve animal health and productivity.

Abstract

Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor (CTVT) is a neoplasia or tumor that can be transmitted through mating and physical contact such as licking, biting, kissing, or touching the tumor area. Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor is a benign tumor that commonly affects both male and female dogs, with the external genital area as the main location of the tumor. A 1.5-year-old, 13.7 kg, mixed-breed female dog named "Belang" was presented with a bleeding mass on the vulva. Diagnosis was confirmed through physical examination, hematology, and histopathology. The treatment protocol consisted of two phases. First, surgical excision of the mass was performed via episiotomy under xylazine-ketamine anesthesia. Postoperative care included antibiotics (Cefotaxime IV followed by Cefixime PO) and an anti-inflammatory (tolfenamic acid SC). The second phase involved adjuvant chemotherapy with Vincristine sulfate (0.025 mg/kg IV) once weekly, starting three days post-surgery. The patient showed excellent recovery. By day 17, the surgical wound had healed completely, sutures were removed, and the vulva appeared normal with no swelling. The dog resumed normal activity, appetite, and elimination habits. The combination of surgical debulking followed by Vincristine chemotherapy proved to be a highly effective and well-tolerated treatment protocol for CTVT in this case, resulting in rapid and successful resolution.
