Animals Studied: One 20-year-old American Quarter Horse gelding and one 11-year-old pony mare were studied. Results: The presenting clinical signs, surgical technique, and postoperative results for two cases of iris hypoplasia treated with diode laser are described. Immediate postoperative complications-postoperative ocular hypertension (POH), corneal edema, and epithelial bullae-were possible anticipated effects but were controlled with topical medications in the first case. Following treatment, endothelial contact of the iris was eliminated, and a functional pupil was established in the first case. Anterior synechia occurred long-term but did not lead to pupil obstruction. Left untreated, the iris hypoplasia in the right eye progressed to a degree like that seen upon initial presentation in the left eye. In the second case, the area of the distended, hypoplastic iris was reduced, and the pupil remained functional. Conclusions: Diode laser ablation of hypoplastic iridal tissue was effective at eliminating anterior synechia in both cases presented here. The better functional results in Case 2 suggest that early intervention may result in more favorable outcomes.","PeriodicalId":37339,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine","volume":"2025 ","pages":"4021047"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11957872/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143755016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Animal Studied: A 3-year-old, female-spayed, Bernese Mountain Dog with a history of bilateral idiopathic anterior uveitis developed iris depigmentation, leukotrichia, and skin depigmentation. Procedures: The initial diagnostic evaluation for uveitis was unremarkable, including general bloodwork, urinalysis, infectious disease testing, thoracic radiographs, and abdominal ultrasound. After the development of dermatologic disease, uveodermatologic syndrome was clinically suspected and cutaneous biopsy specimens were collected for histopathology. Results: Cutaneous histopathology was consistent with vitiligo. Progressive and diffuse skin and hair depigmentation occurred over several years, but the dog's anterior uveitis remained well controlled on relatively minimal topical anti-inflammatory medications. No posterior segment ocular lesions developed, and the dog remained visual. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance: This report indicates that anterior uveitis and uveal depigmentation can develop in dogs associated with vitiligo. The presence of bilateral uveitis and uveal depigmentation, concurrent with skin and hair depigmentation, is often considered suggestive of uveodermatologic syndrome in a dog. This report illustrates the importance of cutaneous histopathology to confirm a clinical suspicion even in the most suggestive of clinical presentations.","PeriodicalId":37339,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine","volume":"2025 ","pages":"6586766"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11745554/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143013232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These lesions should be protected from infection using a product that has a low risk of reactivity. Medical-grade honey (MGH) exerts antimicrobial and wound-healing effects while posing a low risk of exacerbating TEN. In this case report, we are the first to describe the use of MGH for wound management in two feline TEN patients. Case 1 involved a 1-year-old female British shorthair cat, while Case 2 featured a 1-year-old female mixed-breed cat. Both patients presented to the hospital with various symptoms, including fever, tongue lesions, and lesions in the abdominal area following ovariohysterectomy surgery. TEN was confirmed via histopathological examination. The suspected cause of TEN in both cases was the iodine present in the surgical scrub. Tongue lesions were addressed with a liquid diet, and all xenobiotics were immediately withdrawn as a precaution. MGH products supplemented with vitamins were applied to the abdominal wounds following a wound lavage with Ringer's lactate. Daily dressing changes were performed without discomfort, pain, or any adverse reactions. In both cases, debridement became evident after just 1 day, and the patients fully recovered after 12 days of MGH therapy. This case report demonstrates for the first time the successful use of supplemented MGH for wound management in veterinary patients with TEN. The patients did not have any adverse reactions to the treatment, while MGH dressings provided antimicrobial protection and wound-healing effects. Furthermore, these cases highlight the importance of rapid diagnosis and immediate drug withdrawal to increase the survival rate. Overall, supplemented MGH is a safe and effective method to treat TEN-related lesions in feline patients.","PeriodicalId":37339,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine","volume":"2024 ","pages":"2415811"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11469928/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142476739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report a novel case of neurological and cardiological manifestations associated with disseminated protothecosis. An adult spayed female Boxer dog was presented with a 1-week history of anorexia, progressive central vestibular signs, and a Grade III/VI systolic heart murmur. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed obstructive hydrocephalus at the level of the mesencephalic aqueduct, while echocardiography and elevated troponin levels suggested an infiltrative cardiomyopathy. No obvious cause was identified. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collection was not performed due to associated procedural risks. Despite receiving symptomatic treatment and maintaining stability for 3 weeks, the dog eventually suffered cardiorespiratory arrest. Postmortem examination revealed disseminated protothecosis, predominantly affecting the heart and brain. We recommend that in cases where the cause of obstructive hydrocephalus is unclear, especially when CSF collection is not feasible, a comprehensive diagnostic method should be implemented. This includes meticulous investigations to identify infected tissues, followed by sampling and performing cytology/histology and culture tests to confirm the presence of the algal organism. Early diagnosis may allow early treatment, although long-term prognosis remains largely unfavorable due to the absence of effective treatments.","PeriodicalId":37339,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine","volume":"2024 ","pages":"1402828"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11333125/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142005422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Eurasian lynx was referred for femur fracture repair after it was seen with lameness of the left pelvic limb sustained in its natural environment. The animal was remotely darted using a combination of ketamine (5 mg/kg) and xylazine (5 mg/kg) intramuscularly. Once immobilised, the lynx was transported to the veterinary hospital in a restraining cage. After induction and endotracheal intubation, pelvic limb radiographs confirmed a closed, comminuted fracture of the left femur that required open reduction and internal stabilisation. A sacrococcygeal epidural was performed before surgery using lidocaine (2 mg/kg) and morphine (0.1 mg/kg) to complement the ketamine-xylazine-isoflurane anaesthesia, which allows a low-end-tidal isoflurane concentration. Clinical signs were continuously monitored and remained stable during the entire procedure, with the exception of a temperature that decreased to 35.8°C. No intraoperative analgesic rescues were necessary. Recovery was smooth and uneventful. The lynx showed no signs of motor weakness after surgery or other side effects related to the anaesthetic procedure. The successful management of this surgical case suggests that the described anaesthetic protocol could be recommended in orthopaedic procedures of the pelvic limbs in wild Felidae.","PeriodicalId":37339,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine","volume":"2024 ","pages":"6373424"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11329305/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142000827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
