Canine dermatology remain a challenging field that requires a variety of knowledge as dermatological problems are reported to be the most common health problem in small animal practice. Blood, skin and biopsy samples were collected from 50 dogs of different breeds and sexes. The present study is designed for identification of the different etiological agents causing skin diseases in dogs, evaluation of some hematological and biochemical parameters in diseased dogs and histopathological examination of selected cases using skin biopsy. These dogs were grouped into two groups, the first one was the control group (n=10) apparently healthy dogs and the second group (n=40) diseased dogs presented with different skin ailments where 12 out of 40 dogs were suffered from demodicosis, dermatophytosis (6 cases), pyoderma (8 cases) , mixed infection (10 cases) and canine atopic dermatitis (4 cases). Evaluation of the hematological parameters revealed presence of anemia and leukocytosis with apparent neutrophilia in dogs with pyoderma and eosinophilia in the other groups. Biochemical parameters lied within the reference range in all diseased groups. Staphylococcus spp. was the most common bacterial isolate in canine pyoderma. With respect to histopathological picture, results indicated presence of large focal area of epidermal liquefactive necrosis associated with dense neutrophils infiltration. Severe dermatitis, folliculitis, perifollicular and perivascular inflammatory cells infiltration, all these changes associated with cases of pyoderma. Demodicosis cases demonstrated as heavy mite infestation in different developmental stages in the stratum conium of the epidermis and in the follicles. Laminar orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis, vacuolated epidermal prickle cells, acanthosis and vaculation of keratinocytes of the infundibula. Dermatitis characterized by moderate to marked inflammatory infiltration. Necrosis of adnexa, folliculitis and perifollicultis were also recorded in demodecosis infected dogs. Fungal dermatosis showed pronounced laminar orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis and acanthosis. Vacuolar degeneration of keratinocytes and fungal Hyphae were seen in dermatophytosis infected dog. Ulcerative dermatitis in form of focal extensive area of epidermal necrosis and ulceration associated with inflammatory cells infiltration, acanthosis and spongiosis of prickle cell layer were noticed in mixed infection infected dogs. The most common infectious skin problems during our study were pyoderma, red mange and dermatophytosis. The predominant pathogen in pyoderma affected dogs was Staphylococcus spp. Histopathological examination was very useful in our study as they provide accurate diagnosis in a short period of time and help in clear visualization of the clinical picture.","PeriodicalId":202817,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Medical Journal (Giza)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115063000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Apparently normal cats should be screened for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Aim: This study has two aims, first, to determine the normal M-mode and 2D echocardiographic measurements in Persian cats obtained from right lateral recumbent position and express the relation of these measurements with gender, age and body weight. Second, to study the prevalence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Persian cats. Materials and Methods: Seventy eight (78) apparently healthy Persian cats, weighing between 2 and 5 kg, age range (2 to 14) years and of both sexes were enrolled in this study. Cats were subjected to M-mode echocardiography. Measurements from the right parasternal longitudinal axis left ventricular outflow tract view of the heart. Left ventricular internal dimension, interventricular septal thickness and left ventricular posterior wall thickness during diastole and systole, left atrial diameter, aortic root diameter, left ventricular systolic functional parameters, and indices were all measured. Left ventricular hypertrophy was identified when posterior wall during end of diastole ≥ 6 mm. So a separated group was made for Persian cats whose Posterior wall during diastole ≥ 6 mm to detect the apparently healthy Persian cats with Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Results: Gender showed statistically significant on heart rate (p=0.002). Age has statistical significant on left ventricle posterior wall during diastole. Body weight has statistical significance on left ventricle posterior wall during systole. Gender, age and weight have no effect on left ventricle internal diameter during systole and diastole, interventricular septum during systole and diastole, Left atrium and aorta. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is identified in 12 (15.3%) of the 78 examined cats. Conclusion: Gender has no effect on echocardiographic measurements except Heart rate is higher in females than in males, posterior wall during diastole increase by increasing age and posterior wall during systole increase by increasing body weight. Apparently normal cats should be screened for HCM.","PeriodicalId":202817,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Medical Journal (Giza)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126363721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
