Abstract

Transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) is a tumor in dogs that originates from a somatic cell line that infects the male and female reproductive organs, caused by environmental factors, weather, temperature, and other factors. inside the animal's body. Clinical symptoms of TVT in dogs include decreased activity, bleeding from the foreskin, serous discharge, discharge, swelling in the penile region, and fleshy growth in the glans penis. The Golden Retriver arrived at UPTD Bukittinggi Puskeswan on March 7, 2022 with bloody urine, frequent stress and a temperature of up to 38.4ºC. In addition to the clinical symptoms, hematological tests, surgical resection of the tumor and histopathological examination of tumor cells were also performed. Histopathological examination results showed that the tumor cells were proliferative lymphocytes of uniform size, surrounded by stromal tissue, with macrophage cells, and lymphocytes with moderate mitotic index with the diagnosis of Tumor venereal transmission (TVT). The results of hematology examination showed that the dog had thrombocytopenia, increased lymphocytes and increased MCHC values.

Cutaneous lipoma is a benign tumor of fatty tissue, whose presence is generally not dangerous but can cause discomfort or be aesthetically disturbing. The purpose of this case report is to outline how to diagnose and treat cases of cutaneous lipoma in dogs. The case presented involves an 8-month-old female local dog with predominantly black fur and white markings, which was diagnosed with a cutaneous lipoma. The chosen treatment method was surgery to remove the fatty mass from the cutaneous tissue of the caudal abdominal region. Before surgery, the dog received premedication with atropine sulfate subcutaneously, and anesthesia was administered using xylazine and ketamine intramuscularly, given separately. The operation to remove the tumor involved making incisions through the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The wound was closed using a continuous suture pattern with absorbable PGA 3.0 sutures for both the subcutaneous layer and the skin. Post-operative treatment included regular cleaning of the wound area with 0.9% NaCl, application of antibiotic powder, and oral administration of cefixime trihydrate and meloxicam for five days. A week after surgery, the dog showed signs of recovery based on physical and clinical evaluations.

Proud flesh or exuberant granulation tissue is a frequent complication in equine distal limb wounds, often delaying healing. This case report presents a 4-year-old Sandalwood pony mare with proud flesh on the left hindlimb. Diagnostic evaluation, including hematology and histopathology, revealed signs of active inflammation and fibroblast proliferation. Surgical excision and debridement were performed under sedation and local anesthesia to expose healthy tissue in order to support proper healing. Postoperative care included NSAIDs, antibiotics, hemostatic agents, and oral omeprazole to prevent gastric irritation. Daily bandage changes and veterinary monitoring contributed to a satisfactory healing outcome without complications. This case highlights the importance of combined surgical and medical management treatment is effective in treating equine proud flesh.

MANAGEMENT OF BULBUS OCULI PROLAPSE IN A CAT AT JOGJA VETERINARY CLINIC, YOGYAKARTA

2025-07-30T14:04:58+07:00

Enucleation is an orbital surgical procedure performed on patients with indications of increased intraocular pressure due to glaucoma that cannot be treated with medication, intraocular neoplasia that may cause intraocular pain, or severe trauma. Prolapse of the bulbus oculi in cats is generally caused by glaucoma (increased intraocular pressure), bacterial or viral infections, trauma from being hit by a vehicle, scratches, fights with other animals, or ocular tumors. The purpose of this report is to describe the management of enucleation in cats at Jogja Veterinary Clinic, Yogyakarta. The subject of this case is a female cat named Telon, approximately four months old, weighing 1.65 kg, who was brought to Jogja Veterinary Clinic with a complaint of a protruding eye. Based on anamnesis, physical examination, and clinical symptoms, Telon was diagnosed with bulbus oculi prolapse and underwent enucleation surgery as a medical intervention. The treatment provided included antibiotics, vitamins, analgesics, and topical ointment. The cat received postoperative care for four days and showed good wound healing. It was concluded that the enucleation procedure using the transpalpebral technique in Telon had a favorable prognosis.

PERBEDAAN INTERVAL WAKTU PEMBERIAN CAMPURAN Lactobacillus plantarum DAN KUNYIT DALAM AIR MINUM TERHADAP BOBOT KARKAS DAN LEMAK ABDOMEN BROILER

2025-07-30T14:26:36+07:00

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different intervals of administering a mixture of Lactobacillus plantarum and turmeric in drinking water on carcass weight and abdominal fat of broiler chickens. The research was conducted for 35 days at the Animal Production and Forage Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Science, University of Jambi, using 200 Lohmann Platinum (MB 202) day-old chicks of mixed sex. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was applied, consisting of four treatments and five replications, with 10 birds per replicate. The treatments were: P0 = drinking water without additives; P1 = 2% mixture of L. plantarum and turmeric administered daily; P2 = every two days; P3 = every three days. The mixture ratio of L. plantarum to turmeric was 3:1, given at 2% per liter of water. Observed parameters included feed and water intake, slaughter weight, carcass weight (absolute and relative), and abdominal fat (absolute and relative). Data were analyzed using ANOVA. Results showed no significant differences (P>0.05) among treatments for all parameters. However, the two-day interval treatment (P2) tended to improve slaughter and carcass weights while reducing abdominal fat compared to other treatments.
