Abstract

Transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) is a malignant tumor that commonly occurs in dogs. It can be transmitted through mating, licking, or sniffing tumor lesions. The purpose of this study was to describe the successful treatment of TVT by surgical excision followed by vincristine sulfate chemotherapy. A 7-year-old local male dog weighing 14 kg presented with a penile mass accompanied by bloody discharge. Histopathological examination revealed a population of tumor cells consisting of lymphoblast-like cells with a homogeneous polyhedral shape. The tumor cells were separated by stroma and exhibited moderate mitotic figures. Treatment consisted of surgical excision of the tumor mass followed by vincristine sulfate chemotherapy at a dose of 0.025 mg/kg administered intravenously three times at one-week intervals. Postoperatively, long-acting amoxicillin was administered as an antibiotic at a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight (BW) intramuscularly every 48 hours on days 0, 2, and 4. For analgesia, meloxicam was administered at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg BW subcutaneously once daily for four days. A hematopoietic stimulant (hematodin) was administered at a dose of 1 mL/5 kg BW intramuscularly once daily for five days. On day 21, the dog showed signs of healing, indicated by dried wounds, disappearance of suture marks, and normalization of penile size, suggesting complete tumor removal. The combination of surgical excision and chemotherapy proved effective in treating TVT in dogs.

Abstract

Improving the productivity and milk quality of Etawah Crossbreed (PE) goats remains a challenge due to limited use of feed supplements that effectively support lactation performance. Liquid smoke contains antibacterial and antioxidant compounds that may enhance rumen fermentation when incorporated into block feed. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of liquid-smoke feed blocks dietary supplementation on feed intake, milk yield, and milk quality of lactating PE goats, as assessed by specific gravity, protein, fat, and lactose. This research using a Latin Square Design, with three PE goats were used in each treatment consisting of P0 (control), P1 (1% liquid-smoke block feed), and P2 (2% liquid-smoke block feed) and the experiment lasted nine weeks.. Results showed that block feed supplementation did not affect forage intake, which remained between 2.31–2.41 kg/head/day. Milk yield increased significantly in P1 and P2 compared to P0, with the highest production observed in P1 (773.81 ml/head/day). Milk quality parameters were not significantly affected by treatments, although all values remained within normal ranges. Based on research results, can be concluded that liquid-smoke block feed effectively improves milk yield without compromising milk quality in PE goats. Further studies with longer experimental periods are recommended to observe milk quality.

Abstract

The utilization of agricultural and plantation waste serves as an alternative solution to overcome farmers’ challenges in providing ruminant feed. With the peel composition reaching 60–70% of the total fruit mass, durian generates a significant amount of waste that can be used as livestock feed. Identifying potential feed sources in terms of quality, quantity, and continuity is essential to ensure the availability of feed for beef cattle. The objective of this study was to determine the digestibility of cattle rations supplemented with durian peel. This study employed a completely randomized design with four treatments and three replications. The treatments consisted of a control ration (100% basal ration without durian peel), basal ration with 10% durian peel, basal ration with 15% durian peel, and basal ration with 20% durian peel. The parameters observed were dry matter digestibility (DMD) and organic matter digestibility (OMD), which were analyzed using an in vitro method. The results indicated that the control treatment differed significantly (P<0.05) from the other treatments, and increasing levels of durian peel supplementation led to higher digestibility. The conclusion of this study is that the addition of 20% durian peel to the ration optimizes dry matter and organic matter digestibility in the rumen of cattle. Further in vivo studies are required.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of ex-situ habitat transfer on physiological and behavioral stress responses in Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) and to assess the effectiveness of environmental enrichment in mitigating stress and enhancing welfare. Seven dolphins were monitored across four periods: before transfer, immediately upon arrival at the new facility, after 15 days of adaptation, and following 30 days of environmental enrichment using interactive toys. Parameters measured included neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (N/L) ratio, respiratory rate, frequency of stereotypic behaviors, food intake, social interactions, and compliance with trainer commands. The results demonstrated that habitat transfer induced significant increases in N/L ratio and respiratory rate. A 15-day adaptation period was insufficient to restore physiological and behavioral parameters to baseline levels. However, after 30 days of environmental enrichment, stress indicators improved markedly, with decreased N/L ratios, normalized respiratory rates, reduced stereotypic behaviors, and increased food intake, social interactions, and compliance. These findings underscore the importance of integrating structured environmental enrichment strategies into ex-situ conservation and management programs to support optimal welfare in captive dolphins.

Abstract

External otitis is a commonly encountered ear disease in cats, characterized by inflammation of the external auditory canal and influenced by predisposing, primary, secondary, and perpetuating factors. This case report describes a six-year-old male Persian cat with a history of recurrent external otitis. The cat was presented to the Internal Medicine Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Udayana University, Denpasar, Bali, with primary complaints of frequent ear scratching, head shaking, and the presence of yellow, foul-smelling discharge from both ears. Physical examination revealed yellowish, watery cerumen with a strong odor. Cytological examination demonstrated abundant rod-shaped bacteria, and bacterial culture confirmed the growth of Proteus spp. A diagnosis of bilateral external otitis caused by Proteus spp. infection was established, with a favorable prognosis. The treatment consisted of topical administration of Topigen® ear drops containing gentamicin sulphate (1.6 mg/mL), nystatin (100,000 IU/mL), and fluocinolone acetonide (0.25 mg/mL), administered at a dosage of three drops twice daily for 12 days, accompanied by routine ear cleaning using an otic cleansing solution. Clinical evaluation after 12 days of treatment showed significant improvement, characterized by reduced cerumen production, resolution of malodor, and the absence of inflammatory signs on otoscopic examination. This report underscores the importance of cytological examination and bacterial culture in establishing an accurate diagnosis and demonstrates the effectiveness of combination topical antibiotic and anti-inflammatory therapy in the management of bacterial external otitis.

Abstract

Feline gingivostomatitis syndrome (FGS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the feline oral cavity that is multifactorial in nature and often accompanied by conjunctivitis as a complication. This condition can significantly reduce a cat’s quality of life. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of FGS with conjunctivitis as a complication in a domestic cat, including anamnesis, clinical examination, supporting diagnostics, treatment provided, and evaluation of the treatment response. The method used was clinical observation of a 3-year-old female cat presenting with anorexia, hypersalivation, oral mucosal inflammation, ocular discharge, and nasal discharge. Examinations included a complete physical examination, complete blood count (CBC), rapid tests for Feline calicivirus (FCV) and Feline herpesvirus (FHV-1), as well as cytological examination of swabs from ocular discharge and gingiva. The results showed severe stomatitis with gingival ulceration, conjunctivitis with mucopurulent discharge, mild nasal discharge, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and lymphocytosis. Rapid tests for FCV and FHV-1 were negative. Treatment included Amoxiclav®, Methylprednisolone, Kenalog in Orabase®, topical Gentamicin, vitamin B12, and oral cavity cleansing with physiological saline solution. Evaluation on day 6 revealed clinical improvement, including increased appetite, reduced oral mucosal inflammation, disappearance of ocular and nasal discharge, and resolution of conjunctivitis. The conclusion of this case is that a combination therapy approach consisting of causative, symptomatic, and supportive treatments was effective in managing FGS with conjunctivitis as a complication. Long-term monitoring and routine vaccination are recommended to prevent recurrence.

Abstract

Rabies is a fatal zoonotic disease that remains incurable, making vaccination the primary strategy for prevention in veterinary and human public health. Although multiple commercial rabies vaccines are widely used, comparative data on their immunogenicity are limited and often inconsistent. This study evaluated and compared the humoral and cellular immune responses induced by three commercially available rabies vaccine brands using a BALB/c mouse model. Ten 20-week-old female BALB/c mice were allocated into treatment groups and immunized accordingly. Blood samples were collected at week 0 (pre-vaccination), week 2, and week 4 post-vaccination to determine specific anti-rabies antibody titers using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). At the end of the study, spleens were harvested for histopathological examination with hematoxylin–eosin staining to assess cellular immune responses. Antibody titers were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). All three vaccines induced a significant and comparable increase in antibody titers up to two weeks post-vaccination, with no statistically significant differences among brands. By week 4, a decline in antibody levels was observed across all groups. Histopathological analysis revealed similar activation of cellular immunity among vaccines, characterized by lymphoid proliferation and plasma cell activity, without notable inter-group differences. In conclusion, the three commercial rabies vaccines demonstrated equivalent immunogenicity in inducing both humoral and cellular immune responses in BALB/c mice. These findings suggest that no single vaccine brand was superior, and that rabies vaccination strategies should prioritize operational factors such as schedule adherence, booster administration, and proper vaccination techniques rather than brand selection.
