Abstract

Uterine prolapse is a reproductive disorder in cattle that requires prompt and effective management to ensure survival, recovery, and preservation of fertility. Uterine prolapse is defined as the protrusion of the uterus through the vulva, exposing the mucosal surface. This case report describes the occurrence of uterine prolapse in a cow and its therapeutic management. Clinical examination revealed that the uterus was protruding outside the pelvic cavity, accompanied by weakness and anorexia. The patient was diagnosed with a uterine prolapse. The treatment consisted of manual uterine repositioning, followed by vulvar suturing. Supportive therapy, including antibiotics, multivitamins, calcium supplementation, and topical antiseptics, was administered for seven days. The cow showed favorable recovery and complete resolution of the uterine prolapse. The prevention of recurrent uterine prolapse in cattle includes adequate uterine repositioning, temporary vulvar suturing, correction of postpartum metabolic disorders, appropriate nutritional management, and close postpartum monitoring.

Abstract

Fish is a food source with high protein content and is relatively more affordable compared to other animal-based protein sources. A common issue is the misuse of hazardous substances to prevent quality deterioration and increase profit, such as formalin. This study aimed to identify the presence of formalin in fresh marine fish sold at Traditional Market X, Payakumbuh, to ensure food quality and safety for public consumption. Formalin testing was conducted on 10 samples, each weighing 10 g. Twenty milliliters of aquadest were added to each sample, followed by homogenization using a stomacher. The samples were then centrifuged at 3000 rpm for two minutes. After centrifugation, 10 mL of the supernatant from each sample was transferred into test tubes. Each tube was added with 3 drops of 0.5% phenylhydrazine, 2 drops of 5% sodium nitroprusside, and 3 drops of 10% NaOH, and the results were observed. The results showed that none of the samples contained formalin, as indicated by the absence of color change; all samples remained reddish-orange after reagent addition. Therefore, fresh marine fish sold at Traditional Market X Payakumbuh, were confirmed to be free from formalin and safe for consumption. Routine monitoring by the government is recommended to prevent the misuse of hazardous substances such as formalin in food products.

Abstract

Prolapse of the eyeball refers to the protrusion of the globe from the orbital cavity and may be caused by various factors, including infection, increased intraocular pressure, trauma, and abnormalities of the extraocular muscles. A three-month-old female domestic cat weighing 0.9 kg presented with prolapse of the right eyeball. The cat was treated surgically using a transconjunctival enucleation approach. This procedure was selected because the ocular abnormalities could not be resolved through medical therapy. Prior to surgery, premedication with atropine sulphate (0.03 mg/kg BW) was administered subcutaneously. Fifteen minutes later, anesthesia was induced and maintained by intramuscular injection of a combination of ketamine (11 mg/kg BW) and xylazine (2 mg/kg BW). Postoperatively, the animal received antibiotic therapy with cefotaxime (20 mg/kg BW, q12h, intramuscularly) and anti-inflammatory treatment with meloxicam (0.2 mg/kg BW, q24h, subcutaneously). This was followed by oral administration of cefixime (10 mg/kg BW, q12h) and meloxicam (0.1 mg/kg BW, q24h) for five days, along with supportive therapy using Fufang E’jiao Jiang® (0.5 mL/kg BW, q24h, per oral). Based on wound observations up to the seventh postoperative day, the surgical incision had not completely dried; however, the wound healing process progressed well, and no signs of infection were observed at the surgical site.

Abstract

Malassezia dermatitis is a common skin disease in dogs caused by the overgrowth of Malassezia sp., a lipophilic yeast that normally inhabits the skin but may act as an opportunistic pathogen when skin homeostasis is disrupted. This yeast is commonly found in areas with active sebaceous glands and may cause pruritus, alopecia, hyperpigmentation, and chronic skin changes. This report describes a case of a 3-month-old female domestic puppy named Stella, weighing approximately 3 kg, presenting with chronic pruritus accompanied by generalized hair loss that had persisted for approximately one month. Dermatological examination revealed alopecia on the face, ears, neck, and extremities, along with hyperpigmentation, crust formation, and skin thickening consistent with lichenification. Supporting examinations using acetic acid tape preparation (ATP) cytology demonstrated a high number of Malassezia sp., while skin scraping and otic swab examinations did not reveal the presence of ectoparasites or other infectious agents, and trichogram analysis showed a predominance of hairs in the telogen phase, indicating chronic skin stress. The therapy administered consisted of bathing with Sebazole® shampoo as the primary treatment, topical application of apple cider vinegar and virgin coconut oil (VCO) as adjunct therapies to support skin barrier repair, and administration of diphenhydramine as symptomatic therapy to reduce pruritus. After four weeks of treatment, the clinical condition of the case animal showed significant improvement leading to complete recovery, characterized by the resolution of pruritus, skin lesions, and alopecia, along with hair regrowth.

Abstract

Urolithiasis is one of the most common urinary tract disorders in dogs and can be influenced by nutritional factors, breed, sex, water intake, and infections caused by urease-producing bacteria. This article reports a 4-year-old female American Bully dog presenting with intermittent hematuria for eight months. Urinalysis revealed an alkaline urine pH of 8, urine specific gravity ≤ 1.010, and a very high number of struvite crystals. Ultrasonographic examination showed hyperechoic sand-like material within the urinary bladder, while no uroliths were detected on radiographic examination. Hematological and serum biochemical analyses revealed mild changes that remained within physiological limits. The therapeutic approach included administration of cefadroxil, methylprednisolone, Cystaid®, Nutri-Plus Gel®, and dietary modification to a therapeutic Urinary S/O for 14 days. Clinical and ultrasonographic evaluations after therapy demonstrated a reduction in the number of bladder crystals, along with improvement in urine color and odor. This case highlights that a combination of pharmacological therapy and dietary management plays an important role in the treatment of struvite urolithiasis in dogs, particularly cases associated with uncontrolled dietary patterns.

Abstract

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous plasma fraction enriched with platelets and growth factors that support tissue repair. In veterinary applications, bovine PRP shows therapeutic potential, but its clinical use is limited by the short stability of fresh preparations. Freeze-drying offers a promising method to improve PRP shelf-life and usability. This study aimed to develop a standardized protocol for bovine PRP isolation, characterization, and freeze-drying. Blood samples (400 mL) were collected from six healthy cows using CPDA-1 anticoagulant. Hematological screening was performed using an automated analyzer. PRP was isolated via a double-spin centrifugation protocol and subsequently lyophilized using a controlled freezing and freeze-drying system. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk normality tests, and Spearman correlations. Hematology profiles showed wide biological variation in WBC, HGB, and HCT, while RBC, MCV, and PLT remained within stable ranges. Double-spin centrifugation effectively increased platelet concentration up to threefold from baseline. Freeze-drying produced stable PRP powder with low residual moisture, suitable for storage at room temperature. Significant positive correlations were found among RBC-HGB-HCT, reflecting normal erythropoietic physiology. The developed protocol successfully standardized bovine PRP isolation and freeze-drying procedures, producing stable and concentrated PRP suitable for extended storage. Freeze-dried bovine PRP has strong potential as a practical biological product for veterinary regenerative applications and cattle health management.Further studies are recommended to evaluate the biological stability and clinical efficacy of freeze-dried bovine PRP in various veterinary therapeutic applications.

Abstract

Infectious diseases in domestic cats (Felis catus) remain a major challenge in veterinary practice, particularly in multi-etiological infections involving viral agents and hemotropic parasites. Coinfection with Feline Panleukopenia Virus (FPV) and Feline Hemotropic Mycoplasmosis (FHM) can cause severe immunosuppression, exacerbate clinical signs, and increase mortality risk, often accompanied by complications such as feline flu due to opportunistic secondary infections. This study aimed to describe the clinical management of a feline flu case in a cat infected with FPV and concurrent FHM at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Hasanuddin University. This case report describes a domestic cat presenting with vomiting, hemorrhagic diarrhea, anorexia, dehydration, and respiratory distress. Diagnosis was established based on anamnesis, clinical examination, hematological analysis, FPV rapid testing, blood smear examination, and bacterial culture. Therapeutic management included fluid therapy, antiviral treatment, culture-guided antibiotic therapy, antiparasitic treatment, nebulization therapy using salbutamol, as well as supportive and nutritional care. The results revealed that the cat tested positive for FPV, Mycoplasma haemofelis was detected on blood smear examination, and Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated through bacterial culture. Comprehensive therapeutic management led to gradual clinical improvement. This case highlights the importance of an integrated diagnostic and therapeutic approach in the management of multi-etiological infections in cats.

Abstract

The celebration of Eid al-Adha as sacrificial worship is closely related to aspects of animal health and the safety of animal-derived food, as its implementation requires compliance with animal health and welfare principles, as well as assurance of meat suitability for public consumption. The increasing number of sacrificial animals each year necessitates greater attention to animal health to ensure food safety for the community. The liver of Bali cattle (Bos sondaicus) is an important indicator of the overall health of the body. This study aimed to determine the percentage of suitability of Bali cattle livers from sacrificial animals during Eid al-Adha through postmortem examination in Dangin Puri Kelod Village, East Denpasar District, Denpasar City, Indonesia. The study employed an observational method with a cross-sectional study design, involving 28 Bali cattle liver samples (total sampling). Examinations were conducted using inspection, palpation, and incision methods, with assessment parameters including color, shape, consistency, odor, and lesions. The results showed that 27 samples (96%) were normal and suitable for consumption, while one sample (4%) was abnormal and deemed unfit for consumption. These findings indicate that the majority of sacrificial Bali cattle livers in Dangin Puri Kelod Village met the ASUH standards (Safe, Healthy, Wholesome, and Halal). Continuous post-mortem examinations are necessary to ensure food safety and protect public health.

Abstract

Chicken meat is the most widely consumed animal-based food commodity in Indonesia, making product quality and safety important. Chicken Slaughterhouses and Chicken Cutting Places serve as critical units in producing chicken carcasses that meet the principles of Safe, Healthy, Intact, and Halal (ASUH). This study aimed to determine the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the implementation of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) in Chicken Slaughterhouses and Chicken Cutting Places in Denpasar City. This study used an observational design and a quantitative approach. Sampling was conducted using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. Fourteen respondents, including owners and quality control managers, were interviewed for this study. Data were collected through structured interviews using questionnaires. The level of GMP knowledge showed that 42.8% of respondents were in the good category, while the overall level of knowledge was low. The GMP attitude level showed that 85.7% of respondents had a positive attitude toward GMP implementation. Meanwhile, the GMP practice level indicated that 50% of the respondents were in the low category. GMP knowledge in Chicken Slaughterhouses and Chicken Cutting Places showed variation but tended to remain low. Although respondents’ attitudes toward GMP were generally positive, this was not yet reflected in their practices, which remained suboptimal and below the standard. This condition indicates a gap between knowledge and attitude and the actual implementation of GMP in the field. The recommendations of this study include continuous socialization and further research with more diverse respondents to improve knowledge, attitudes, and GMP practices among food handlers.
