South American camelids (SAC) are being more and presented at the veterinary Clinics in Germany. A bad nutritional condition, which can be easily categorized using a body condition score (BCS) of animals, is often not noticed by owners. Further anaemia also only detected an advanced stage SAC. Clinical detection performed assessing FAMACHA©-score (FS), that adapted from small ruminants. So far, there little information available about BCS FS In this study, both clinical scores were assessed...
Abstract Contagious ovine digital dermatitis (CODD) is a significant disease of the foot characterised by severe lameness and progressive separation hoof horn capsule from underlying tissue. Similar to bovine (BDD), pathogenic members genus Treponema including medium phylogroup, phagedenis phylogroup pedis are frequently found together in CODD lesions. To date, was only described Ireland United Kingdom. In northern Germany, cases an unusually presented sheep flock that had been affected...
Alpacas kept in Central Europe are often deficient vitamin D3, which is supplemented orally or by injection the owners veterinarians. Vitamin D3 can be specified two different units (IU and µg), differ a factor of 40. By mixing up these units, an overdosage induced. In this study, three alpaca crias were examined after intoxication, with particular reference to kidney function. All animals developed non-specific clinical alterations 1-2 weeks overdose approximately 40 times. Plasma revealed...
Abstract Background Ovine laryngeal chondritis is a rare entity of sheep in the USA, Great Britain, New Zealand and Iceland, but has not been reported Germany so far. Here, two German cases are reported. Case presentation Two rams showed severe progressive signs dyspnea. Endoscopically, bilateral swelling larynx was identified both rams. Due to poor prognosis progression clinical one ram euthanized, while other died overnight. In cases, necrosuppurative laryngitis arytenoid cartilages found...
An infestation of bot fly larvae causes myiasis which is known to cause respiratory symptoms in ruminants. There are reports llamas, but our knowledge there no previous nasal due flies alpacas ("Vicugna pacos"). The following case report describes a neutered male alpaca showing sneezing and mild discharge. Endoscopic examination the upper tract revealed one nostril. After treatment with doramectin, was evidence living visible Bot should be considered as potential alpacas. In present case,...
Abstract Background Calcinosis has been reported for a broad range of different animals. Causes calcinosis include metabolic disorders due to kidney failure, intoxication with calcinogenic plants, or iatrogenic overdose vitamin D. Especially young animals seem be very susceptible developing calcinosis. Currently, however, there is lack information on in wildlife. Case presentation The following case report describes roe deer fawn admitted clinic general weakness and myiasis. Plasma levels...
Anaemia is a common condition in alpacas and attributable to variety of causes. Severe anaemia with packed cell volume (PCV) less than 10% frequently diagnosed, usually due blood loss resulting from haemonchosis. Many South American camelids (SACs) also suffer gastric ulcers, which are often associated other species. However, llamas, ulcers do not lead according the current literature. There no detailed clinical laboratory data on this scientific literature so far. We report case...
Abstract Poisoning is often suspected to be the origin of disease in South American camelids (SACs) by owners, but only a few cases this assumption can confirmed. In small ruminants, rhododendron poisoning common emergency for livestock veterinarians. However, condition has rarely been reported SACs so far. This paper provides information regarding clinical findings, hematology, chemistry, and treatment four alpacas after presumed intake leaves including pathological findings one animals....
Zusammenfassung Bei kleinen Wiederkäuern ist ein Volvulus des Darms seltener, in der Literatur nur vereinzelt dokumentierter Befund. Der Bericht beschreibt den Fall eines Kolonscheibe bei einer Zwergziege. Das Tier zeigte hochgradig gestörtes Allgemeinbefinden mit Schockgeschehen und wies schmerzhaftes Abdomen sowie eine ballonartige Struktur im rechten dorsalen auf. diagnostischen Laparotomie wurde Rotation um 360° nach rechts diagnostiziert. starb intraoperativ an einem...
Zusammenfassung Mandibuläre Osteomyelitiden kommen sowohl bei Haus- als auch Wildwiederkäuern immer wieder vor. Die entzündlichen Veränderungen des Kiefers werden dabei nicht nur von Actinomyces ssp. verursacht, sondern es andere bakterielle Erreger ursächlich in Betracht. Im Fall eines Muntjaks aus privater Haltung, der mit Fressunlust und einer soliden Umfangsvermehrung am Körper rechten Unterkiefers vorgestellt wurde, ließ sich röntgenologisch eine mandibuläre Osteomyelitis...
