With increasing rates of transmission from felines to humans, zoonosis is worrying, both for health policies and for animal protection policies, since many animals are abandoned when contracting sporotrichosis, generating greater risks of spreading the disease among humans and other animals. Therefore, the objective of the article is to demonstrate that the disease can be successfully treated through the report of clinical experience. The method used for diagnosis was by imprinting the lesion, where the presence of the fungus Sporothrix schenckii was found in the yeast form with degenerated neutrophils and macrophages. The treatment performed was with Itraconazole at a dose of 100mg/day in the manipulated, similar and original versions, showing through the report the greater effectiveness of the original version of the drug.","PeriodicalId":282277,"journal":{"name":"Mathews Journal of Veterinary Science","volume":"654 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135755628","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}

A total of 384 cattle fecal samples were collected randomly and transported to Mendi Type B Veterinary Clinic Parasitology laboratory for larvae identification. Out of 384 fecal samples examined coprologyically, 18 showed positivity for lungworm infection with an overall 4.7% prevalence applying chi-square(x2) descriptive statistics. Age, sex, breed and management systems were considered as risk factors for the occurrence of the disease. Chi-square analysis indicated statistically significant association between age groups, body condition score and management systems and the disease (P<0.05) and non-significant association between breed, sex and the disease (P>0.05). The prevalence of lungworm by sex was found to be 6.3% and 3.7% in coprological examination of females and males, respectively. Prevalence of 7.0% and 1.8% were observed in animals of 1-5 years of age and animals of above 5 years, respectively. Highest prevalence was observed in extensive management system (8.6%) as compared with semi-intensive (4.5%) and intensive (0%) management systems. Analysis of lungworm infection by breed showed a higher prevalence in cross breeds (6.3%) than local breeds (4.4%). Moreover, the degree of infection by body condition score was assessed indicating 9.0%, 5% and 0.8% for poor, medium and good body conditioned animals, respectively. The study concluded that the prevalence of bovine lungworm in the study area was more associated with young stock in extensive and semi-intensive management systems.","PeriodicalId":282277,"journal":{"name":"Mathews Journal of Veterinary Science","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129875707","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}

Dogs with exaggerated juvenilelike craniofacial conformations, such as pug breed, are twenty times more prone to develop this condition. Although most of the cases are treated without surgical intervention, complicated and infected cases could lead to permanent blindness and other related complications. New approaches in treating this condition with mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been proposed with great results. Given their immunomodulation and regenerative properties, local administration of MSCs has proven to be safe and efficient in treating ocular related health conditions. This manuscript presents a complicated case of a canine CU treated with local infiltration of 1x106 canine dental pulp MSCs (cDMSCs). Stem cell therapy was performed at the Central Medica Veterinaria in Colima, Mexico with the consent of the owner, as it was hypothesized that the regenerative properties of MSCs could potentially alleviate the patient ́s condition. Notorious improvement was reported after 12 hours of infiltration, and neovascularization process was observed within the next few days. The patient was discharged on the 29th day of treatment, with minimal scar and fully regain normal vision. Therefore, using MSCs is a viable option for treating corneal ulcers in dogs.","PeriodicalId":282277,"journal":{"name":"Mathews Journal of Veterinary Science","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128222055","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}

Although widely distributed, the population of Sloth Bear is declining due to habitat loss and diminished food resources. There is a distinct seasonal variation in the food habits of the sloth bears in many parts of India due to scarcity of food. Insects, mainly the termites and ants are the most important food source for sloth bears, along with fruits are consumed in proportion to availability. In Southern India, it is interesting as Sloth Bears are found in the coastal habitat of Kasibugga range of Srikakulam District of Andhra Pradesh feeding on the eggs of Olive Ridley turtles that are laid on the sea shore from December to March during the winter seasons and on fruits of cashew plantations from March to June, the summer months. Sloth Bear has an excellent sense of smell in finding the turtle eggs. Our field observational study revealed, even though Sloth Bear is an omnivore; their diets vary seasonally and geographically as the eggs of turtles serve as protein rich food supplement in this particular coastal region. In our discussions, the villagers, told that sloth bears invade the coastal areas of Kasibugga range during turtle breeding season as the eggs and seedlings serve as seasonal diets which is a unique phenomenon reported only in this part of the world.","PeriodicalId":282277,"journal":{"name":"Mathews Journal of Veterinary Science","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128293749","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}

However, a lack of knowledge about animal welfare and the poverty of carthorse owners have led to several animal welfare and health problems for carthorses. A cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2021 to May 2022 in and around Sebeta town to assess the welfare problems of equines through an observational and questionnaire survey. A total of 384 equines (82 donkeys and 302 horses) were selected using simple random sampling technique and assessed for their body condition and skin problems and a total of 120 owners were included for the interview. According to the information gathered from the respondents, 30% of them take their animal to veterinary clinic, while 13.3% treat with traditional medication and the majority 56.7% of the owners were not interested to deliver their equines to veterinary clinic for treatment. From all the 384 studied equines, 52.6% of them (63.4% in donkeys and 49.6% in horses) were observed with lesions on their skin. The distribution of lesions on the body of the animal showed 69%, 62.9%, 46.0%, 35.6%, and 23.8% at the lips, tail/tail base, limbs, at back and wither, and flank region respectively. High proportions, 57% of donkeys had back and wither lesions, whereas 68.6% of horses had lip lesions. As a consequence, these problems reduce the efficient use of equines. Therefore, further studies on awareness on basic animal welfare principles should be created to working equine owners and necessary measures should be considered on equine health and welfare constraints to alleviate the problem.","PeriodicalId":282277,"journal":{"name":"Mathews Journal of Veterinary Science","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123909261","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}
