Serum protein analyses are beneficial tools used to evaluate the health status of animals in a clinical veterinary setting. Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) is becoming more commonly diagnostic laboratories, and commercial reagents for quantitation acute phase proteins (APP) available validation nondomesticated mammals. With increased numbers red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) presenting wildlife facilities with sarcoptic mange, there potential clinically impactful tool and/or APP this species....

Objectives We evaluated the efficacy of cryosurgery in association with itraconazole for treatment feline sporotrichosis. also compared length protocol others reported literature. Methods Cats naturally infected fungi Sporothrix schenckii complex were evaluated. Diagnosis was confirmed by cytology and fungal culture. Prior to cryosurgical procedure, every animal receiving 10 mg/kg/day PO, different time periods. The same maintained until 4 weeks after complete healing lesions. Results Eleven...

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the larvicidal efficacy nitenpyram for treatment screwworm myiasis caused by Cochliomyia hominivorax in naturally infested dogs. Seven Beagle dogs presenting with were treated twice at an interval 6 h. animals received dosages between 1.43 and 4.42 mg/kg body weight each given treatment. criteria used determine drug larval expulsion fall. These quantified 15 min intervals within first hour followed 2, 3, 4, 6, 18 h post-treatment. highest happened 1 2...

Otitis media (OM) in dogs can occur as a primary condition instead of an extension otitis externa (OE), characterized by the presence fluid middle ear (ME) referred to OM with effusion (OME). OME has been reported brachycephalic breed (boxer), and same is described secretory Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. These be asymptomatic or present pain, facial nerve paralysis reduced hearing. This report describes two cases associated neurologic signs Boston terriers no previous history OE, normal...

This paper reports five cases of intact adult male crossbreed cats presenting with myiasis caused by Cochliomyia hominivorax. Three were stray animals that died despite treatment due to the severity lesions while two client-owned previously treated cryosurgery which completely recovered. Myiasis New World screwworm fly in appears be more frequent than thought, deserving attention from both veterinary practitioners and owners.

This paper reports a case of furuncular myiasis caused by the human bot-fly Dermatobia hominis in domestic cat from Brazil. A crossbred shorthaired female approximately 3 years old, presented with three boil-like cutaneous lesions at left cranioventral region neck. These were diagnosed as myiasis. The animal was sedated, and after shaving fur, larvae removed lesion digital compression. Afterwards, wounds treated 10% iodine solution also wound-healing cream containing sulfanilamide, urea...

Abstract Background The human botfly, Dermatobia hominis , is a common cause of furuncular myiasis in dogs Latin America. Lesions can be single or multiple, each harboring an individual larva, presented as erythematous nodule that causes pruritus and pain. Typical treatment consists sedation for removal larvae by surgical incision manual pressure. Medications to kill the larva before its extraction reduce inflammation discomfort provide less traumatic larval removal. Isoxazolines are...

ABSTRACT Otitis externa (OE) is a common disease in dogs, and topical medications are the preferred treatment. Compounded solutions of enrofloxacin commonly used practice to treat bacterial OE; however, tolerability different concentrations this antibiotic ear canals dogs has not been evaluated. The objective study determine if higher concentration applied external canal clinically tolerated with healthy ears. Sixteen client-owned bilateral ears no previous history OE were enrolled....

Current guidelines for the use of systemic antimicrobials treatment superficial bacterial folliculitis in dogs include recommendation that disease be treated a minimum 3 weeks and at least 1 week beyond clinical resolution. With increasing antimicrobial resistance being noted bacteria involved this condition, as well increased evidence-based medicine, dogma needs to reevaluated.

Abstract Background Topical therapy is preferred for otitis externa (OE) in dogs. Otic products commonly contain glucocorticoids that can be systemically absorbed and possibly interfere with diagnostic tests such as intradermal testing (IDT). Hypothesis/Objectives To determine the effect of a long‐lasting otic solution containing mometasone furoate (MF) on IDT immediate reactions to withdrawal time before IDT. Animals Seventeen dogs healthy ears (Group 1) 12 OE 2). Materials Methods...

Three dogs who were presented with cutaneous lesions and had histopathologic findings consistent pemphigus foliaceus treated injectable polysulfated glycosaminoglycan as an adjunctive to systemic immune-modulatory therapy. These patients not adequately controlled oral glucocorticoids in conjunction cyclosporine, azathioprine, and/or mycophenolate. Polysulfated contributed induction of remission reduced glucocorticoid doses all dogs.

In this study 12 different diets to cat flea larvae, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouche, 1835), were tested in the following formulations: 1 part of wheat germ and bovine, equine or ovine dried blood; 20 parts dog chow, 4 blood brewer’s yeast; 3 2 100 blood, 15 chow 5 yeast. All mixed 1:5 with sand. Just as control feces sand used ratio 1:20. To each formulations made 6 repetitions then placed g diet per assay tube eggs from laboratory colony at Departament Animal Parasitology Veterinary...
