Gastrointestinal disorders of dogs and cats
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an infectious viral disease of cattle caused by Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) belonging to genus Capripoxvirus of family Poxviridae. The disease is characterized by fever, nodular skin lesions, lymphadenopathy, limb oedema, and sometimes death. The disease originated in Africa and are considered to be transmitted all o...
Tetanus is a potentially fatal disease of the nervous system, arising from toxins produced by Clostridium tetani, an anaerobic bacterium found in the soil. A four-year-old male nondescript dog was presented to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Mannuthy with the complaint of recumbency, incoordination, panting and restlessness. General inspe...
Vector-borne diseases are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in domestic cat population and hepatozoonosis is one such infection. Incidence of hepatozoonosis has been described in a variety of animal species but information on cats is scarce. To investigate the occurrence of this pathogen in domestic cats, blood samples were collected fr...
A 3-month-old kitten weighing 1.05 kg was presented to the University veterinary hospital at Kokkalai in Thrissur district of Kerala, India, with the complaint of open-mouth breathing, lethargy and complete anorexia for the past three days, and weight loss. Detailed clinical examination revealed inspiratory dyspnoea without stridor, tachypnoea, muf...
Coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) are emerging as the most prevalent causative agent of bovine mastitis. They are resistant to many commonly used antibiotics due to the presence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. A study was conducted to evaluate the AMR profiling of CNS isolated from bovine subclinical mastitis.Coagulase negative staphy...
Anaplasmosis is a fatal infectious disease affecting small ruminants all over the world. Haematological analysis and therapeutic evaluation of anaplasmosis were done in clinically affected goats from Thrissur district, Kerala in this study. A total of 100 blood samples from clinically affected goats were collected and microscopically examined using...
Leptospirosis is an economically important zoonotic bacterial disease of cattle with global
distribution. The present study investigated the seroprevalence and distribution of leptospiral
serovars in cattle population in Pananchery panchayat of Thrissur district, Kerala. From 52
apparently healthy dairy cattle, serum samples were collected in both...
The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of malassezia infection in dogs from Thrissur in relation to various predisposing factors such as age, breed, sex and season. One hundred and sixty-four cases of malassezia infection were identified between March 2021 and August 2021. The highest occurrence was noted in the age group of one to six...
Canine parvovirus (CPV) infection remains as a major threat to canine practitioners as well as pet owners as it requires intensive care for at least seven days and is associated with a high rate of fatality. This study conducted on 40 dogs with diarrhoea revealed a prevalence of 35 per cent (14/40) for CPV infection in Thissur, Kerala. Aetiology wa...
Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequently isolated pathogen from bovine mastitis including subclinical, clinical, and chronic infections. Virulence factors possessed by S. aureus aid in causing infection and inflammation by producing toxins and proteins, which are responsible for the pathogenesis of the disease. In the current study out of 51 an...
Dermatophytosis is one of the most common skin diseases that affect dogs. Geographic
factors like temperature and humidity play an important role in determining prevalence of
dermatophytosis. The aim of this study was to determine the macroscopic and microscopic
identification of different types of dermatophytes from the dogs presented to Universit...
Malassezia is a commensal organism known to cause disease under favourable conditions,
and has been isolated from many animals as well as human beings. Malassezia pachydermatis is
the most common cause of yeast dermatitis in dogs and there are many determinants involved
in the production of disease in the host. This study aims to deterimine the pre...
Oriental theileriosis caused by Theileria orientalis is a baffling problem among cattle in the humid tropics. The pathogenesis of this disease is mainly due to the extravascular haemolysis leading to anaemia in infected cattle. There are limited options available for treatment and control of this disease. The present study was conducted in 30 cattl...
The present study was envisaged for the detection of subclinical mastitis in 108
apparently healthy dairy cows of University Livestock Farm, Mannuthy and Livestock Research Station, Thiruvazhamkunnu. The quarter milk samples collected under sterile conditions were screened using California mastitis test, somatic cell counting and electrical conduct...
The present work has been carried out to study the haemato-biochemical profiles of cattle
infected with oriental theileriosis. Theileriosis was diagnosed in 30 cross bred cattle by blood smear
examination and confirmed by PCR. Whole blood samples were collected from positive animals
and were subjected to estimation of haemato-biochemical parameters...
Bovine mastitis is an endemic disease among dairy cattle all over the world and antimicrobial therapy is one of the prime therapeutic and prophylactic tool against mastitis. In the present scenario, the efficacy of antimicrobial chemotherapy is being threatened by the rising tide of antimicrobial resistance. A study was conducted to evaluate the co...

... Many clinicians have advocated extensive use of symptomatic and supportive therapy, especially fluids for successful treatment of parvo virus infection as reported by Prittie (2004); however, Roy et al. (2010) have recommended the additional use of antibiotics (Ceftriaxone and Tazobactam) along with supportive therapy to obtain the better response. Navya et al. (2022) suggested supplementation of intravenous sodium bicarbonate in treatment of parvoviral enteritis. Savigny and Macintire (2010) carried out detailed investigation of the use of Oseltamivir to treat the parvo virus affected dogs. ...
... Similar clinical manifestation was reported by Moriello and Newbury (2006). Tarra et al. (2022) reported that majority of the animals affected with dermatophytosis were presented with variable clinical signs and distribution of lesions. ...
... Mastitis was the most common abnormality noticed in diseased group (32.0 per cent). Higher incidence of clinical mastitis was previously reported among early lactation dairy cattle in Thrissur district (Easaw et al., 2022). Dohoo and Martin (1984) and Suthar et al. (2013) could not find any significant 712 Epidemiological investigation of subclinical ketosis in early lactation dairy cattle in Thrissur district _________ association between occurrence of subclinical ketosis and mastitis. ...
... BPQ is a second-generation hydroxynaphthoquinone antiprotozoal drug originally developed as an anti-malarial compound (Hudson et al., 1985)that has also been studied in vivo and in vitro for the treatment of Theileria species in bovines (Wilkie et al., 1998;Muraguri et al., 2006;Carter, 2011;Bailey, 2013;Goud et al., 2021). BPQ is currently considered the drug of choice in endemic regions against theileriosis in cattle (Ibrahim et al., 2020). ...

... Hold 4 °C Until use 4 °C Until use of 9.8 per cent in their study. Jose et al. (2021) reported in their studies a lower prevalence of coliforms, Klebsiella spp. (7.40 per cent) and E. coli (4.47 per cent), isolated from clinical bovine mastitis which was consistent with our study. ...
... This shift might stem from host-specific responses to hemolysis (Kim et al. 2017). As previously reported by Sudhakar et al. (2021), there was a significant elevation in BUN concentration within infected animals, whereas creatinine levels remained unchanged. This discrepancy could be linked to an increased protein turnover and renal damage, associated with an increased destruction of RBCs in infected animals. ...
