Abstract

A two and a half-year old Simmental bull was presented to Iowa State University's Food Animal and Camelid Hospital for anorexia and lethargy of several days. Clostridium perfringens type A was identified via fecal culture and toxin genotyping. Hemorrhagic bowel syndrome (HBS) was diagnosed based on microbiological results along with abdominal ultrasonography, complete blood count, and serum biochemistry. Aggressive multi-modal therapy was employed including intravenously administered fluid therapy, potassium penicillin, lidocaine, flunixin, and pantoprazole among other supportive care. The bull was discharged after 15 days of hospitalization and recovered uneventfully to full function by the next breeding season. Currently all case reports with regard to HBS in beef cattle describe mortality. While the dairy cattle literature demonstrates that HBS has a high mortality rate, and suggests that surgical intervention has a higher prognosis when compared to medical therapy in dairy cattle. Our case would provide support to aggressive medical treatment for HBS in beef cattle.

牛出血性肠综合征的医学处理

一只两岁半的西门塔尔公牛被送到爱荷华州立大学的食用动物和骆驼医院，患有厌食症和昏睡数日。通过粪便培养和毒素基因分型鉴定出A型产气荚膜梭菌。出血性肠综合征(HBS)的诊断是基于微生物学结果以及腹部超声检查、全血细胞计数和血清生化。采用积极的多模式治疗，包括静脉输液、青霉素钾、利多卡因、氟尼辛和泮托拉唑等支持治疗。公牛在住院15天后出院，并在下一个繁殖季节平静地恢复到完全功能。目前所有关于肉牛HBS的病例报告都描述了死亡率。然而，奶牛文献表明HBS具有高死亡率，并且表明与药物治疗相比，手术干预对奶牛的预后更高。我们的案例将为积极治疗肉牛HBS提供支持。
