Keratitis in red deer     

P. R. Wilson  B. S. Cooper  S. B. Badger  A. J. Jopp  Preeni Abeynayake 《New Zealand veterinary journal》2013,61(6):92-94

Twenty-five of 40 red deer (Cervus elaphus) exhibited corneal opacities and ulceration resembling mild bovine infectious keratitis. Attempts to incriminate either a bacterial or viral causal agent were unsuccessful.

Subconjunctival injections of a penicillin/streptomycin mixture were administered in both eyes of affected and in-contact animals. Resolution over an 8 week period was uneventful.  相似文献   

Colonization of a marker and field strain of Salmonella enteritidis and a marker strain of Salmonella typhimurium in vancomycin-pretreated and nonpretreated laying hens     

Hannah JF  Wilson JL  Cox NA  Richardson LJ  Cason JA  Bourassa DV  Buhr RJ 《Avian diseases》2011,55(4):588-592

This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of a vancomycin pretreatment on the ability of marker (nalidixic-acid resistant) Salmonella Enteritidis (SE(M)), field Salmonella Enteritidis (SE(E)), and marker Salmonella Typhimurium (ST(M)) strains to colonize within the intestinal and reproductive tracts and translocate to other organs of leghorn laying hens. In each of three trials, caged laying hens (76, 26, and 33 wk ofage) were divided into six groups designated to receive SE(M), SE(F), or ST(M), and half were pretreated with vancomycin (n = 11-12 hens). Vancomycin-treated hens received 10 mg vancomycin in saline/kilogram body weight orally for 5 days to inhibit Gram-positive bacteria within the intestines. On Day 6, all hens were concurrently challenged by oral, intravaginal, and intracolonal routes with Salmonella and placed into separate floor chambers by Salmonella strain. Two weeks postinoculation, all hens were euthanatized and the ceca, spleen, liver/gall bladder (LGB), upper (URT), and lower (LRT) reproductive tracts, and ovarian follicles were aseptically collected, and analyzed for Salmonella. Results did not differ for the three hen's ages and were therefore combined. The vancomycin pretreatment also had no significant effect on the colonization ability of SE(M), SE(F) or ST(M), and therefore results were combined within Salmonella strain. The marker strain of Salmonella Enteritidis was recovered from 21% of ceca, 4% of LGB, 9% of LRT, and 17% of the fecal samples. The field strain of Salmonella Enteritidis was recovered from 88% of ceca, 96% of spleen, 92% of LGB, 30% of LRT, 4% of URT, 13% of follicle, and 42% of the fecal samples. The marker strain of Salmonella Typhimurium was recovered from 100% of ceca, 74% of spleen, 91% of LGB, 30% of LRT, 9% of URT, 9% of follicle, and 100% of the fecal samples. Among ceca, spleen, LGB, and fecal samples, SE(F) and ST(M) colonization was significantly greater than SE(M) colonization. Overall prevalence of Salmonella in the reproductive tracts of challenged hens was relatively low, ranging from 4% to 30%.  相似文献

Evaluation of Equine Albumin Solution in Fluid Therapy in Horses with Colic     

Carla Bargi Belli  Juarez Pinto Fernandes Távora  Ronaldo de Azevedo Ferreira  Wilson Roberto Fernandes 《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》2013

Equine albumin solution can be a good therapeutic option in fluid replacement for treatment of horses with colic. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of initial fluid therapy with equine albumin solution in horses presenting with colic and mild-to-moderate dehydration, and to compare this therapy with fluid therapy based on crystalloids alone. Nineteen horses of both genders presenting with colic and mild-to-moderate dehydration were used. Animals were randomly assigned to one of two groups (control: fluid therapy based on crystalloid solutions; experimental: fluid therapy based on equine albumin and crystalloid solutions). Physical examination, hematocrit determination, blood gas analysis, serum biochemistry, blood and peritoneal lactate assessment, and measurement of colloid osmotic and arterial pressure were performed at predetermined times. Good results were obtained with equine albumin solution. More fluid is attracted into and maintained in the intravascular compartment, despite infusion of small volumes, as indicated by higher arterial pressure, lower capillary refill time, lower hematocrit and serum protein concentrations, lower colloid osmotic pressure, and better skin turgor. Equine albumin solution has good oncotic action and is a safe fluid therapy option for horses with colic and mild-to-moderate dehydration. Our results suggest it can be a good choice of fluid for correction of severe dehydration, although further research is necessary to determine the adequate dose in such cases.  相似文献

Antidiuretic response of a horse affected with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction to desmopressin acetate     

M. E. Moses  P. J. Johnson  N. T. Messer  D. A. Wilson 《Equine Veterinary Education》2013,25(3):111-115

Central diabetes insipidus (DI) was diagnosed in a 20‐year‐old American Quarter Horse gelding that was concomitantly affected with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID). The diagnosis of DI was supported by a positive response to administered desmopressin acetate. Diagnosis of PPID was supported by physical appearance and elevated plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone concentration following domperidone administration. The horse's physical condition improved following treatment with pergolide but long‐term treatment with desmopressin was not undertaken and severe polyuria and polydipsia persisted. Desmopressin acetate appears to be useful for the diagnosis of DI in mature horses concomitantly affected with PPID.  相似文献   

Ehrlichia canis infection in a dog with no history of travel outside the United Kingdom     

H. E. Wilson  A. R. Mugford  K. R. Humm  L. M. Kellett‐Gregory 《The Journal of small animal practice》2013,54(8):425-427

A two‐year‐old female neutered Tibetan terrier was referred following a one‐month history of lethargy, inappetence and pancytopenia, which had been poorly responsive to immunosuppressive and fluoroquinolone treatment. The dog was diagnosed with pure red cell aplasia and was found to be positive for Ehrlichia canis by both antibody titre measurement and polymerase chain reaction. The dog lived in London and had not travelled outside the UK. The dog was treated with doxycycline, prednisolone and ciclosporin, but died as a result of gastrointestinal tract haemorrhage. To the authors’ knowledge, this represents the first reported case of Ehrlichia canis in a dog in the UK with no previous travel history.  相似文献
