A 7-month-old La Mancha doe was presented with a right head tilt and ventral strabismus while circling to the left. History and physical examination led to a tentative diagnosis of a cerebral abscess. Computed tomography revealed a large, complex mass with ring enhancement in the left cerebral hemisphere, supporting the diagnosis. Postmortem examination confirmed the cerebral abscess. Bacterial cultures yielded heavy growth of Actinomyces pyogenes. 相似文献

The goal of this study was to collect quantitative and qualitative radiographic information of the normal adult llama thorax. Standing right-left lateral radiographs of the thorax of 16 normal llamas were made. Normal ratios of cardiac height, width, and height plus width to thoracic vertebrae 3-5 and thoracic height were calculated. Normal values determined for tracheal angle of divergence from the thoracic spine, cardiophrenic and cardiosternal contact are additional potential indicators of cardiac enlargement. Ratios of normal pulmonary artery and vein, caudal vena cava and trachea to the height of the fourth thoracic vertebra should allow identification of pathology of these structures. Observations regarding pulmonary vessels and airways, thoracic spine, sternebrae and portions of the gastrointestinal tract observed on thoracic radiographs are also included. It is proposed that these normal values and observations can be used to better evaluate diseases of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems of adult llamas. 相似文献

Complete blood counts and sternal bone marrow aspirates were obtained from healthy adult llamas ranging in age from 2.5 to 8.4 years. Megakaryocyte numbers and erythroid and myeloid series maturation and morphology appeared similar to other mammalian species. The particles contained 50 to 75% marrow cells with the remainder composed of lipocytes and stromal cells. In samples with numerous particles and adequate cellularity, M/E ratios ranged from 0.9 to 2.9. Samples with higher white blood cell counts and fewer particles had higher M/E ratios. Eosinophils comprised 14.3% of the myeloid series which is higher than other domestic mammals. Hemosiderin granules were numerous in marrow particles. 相似文献

Seventeen clinically healthy adult llamas were used to study the characteristics of transtracheal aspirates (TTA) and pleural fluid samples. Results of complete blood counts, fibrinogen determination and thoracic radiographs were within normal limits prior to sampling. Cytologic evaluation of TTA revealed the majority of cells were vacuolated macrophages (60-100%), with 0-40% neutrophils, and fewer lymphocytes (0-1%), eosinophils (0-3%), and ciliated respiratory epithelial cells (0-10%). In TTA from 10 of 17 llamas, neither aerobic nor anaerobic bacteria were isolated. Bacteria isolated in pure culture from TTA were similar to isolates found in clinically healthy animals of other species, and included Acinetobacter sp., Staphylococcus sp. and Bacillus sp. Results (mean +/- SD) of pleural fluid analyses were: total nucleated cell count 576 +/- 361/microliter; specific gravity 1.0133 +/- 0.002; glucose concentration 135.1 +/- 9.02 mg/dL; and lactate concentration 2.95 +/- 1.34 mg/dL. Pleural fluid total protein concentrations determined by refractometry ranged from < 2.5 to 3.5 g/dL. The refractive index ranged from 1.3396 to 0.0013. In pleural fluid, small lymphocytes were the predominant cell type. 相似文献

Alterations in clinical, hematological and metabolic variables in bovine neonatal endotoxemia.

下载免费PDF全文 Endotoxemia is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the neonate. Although many models are used to study the problem, none completely simulates the natural disease. To more clearly define a bovine neonatal endotoxemia model we studied the effects of dose of endotoxin on clinical, hematological and biochemical variables. Thirty-four neonatal calves were administered Escherichia coli endotoxin (LPS) at 0 (0.9% saline solution), 0.2, 2.0 or 20 micrograms/kg, by either IV bolus or infusion over 50 minutes. Variables monitored included mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), leukocyte (WBC) count, plasma glucose and lactate concentrations and clinical status. All LPS-treated calves displayed similar clinical signs within one hour. Dose-dependent differences in response to LPS among groups became evident over time. Substantial dose-dependent changes in attitude, appetite, mucous membrane character, capillary refill time, MAP, plasma glucose and lactate concentrations, and WBC count were noted in LPS-treated calves. Higher doses of LPS induced a more prolonged clinical response and significantly (p < 0.05) greater hypotension, lacticemia and hypoglycemia. While dose altered the response to endotoxin, the method of administration had no overall effect on the variables measured. 相似文献

A 9 month old female llama was presented with inspiratory dyspnea. Radiographically, there was a large soft tissue mass nearly occluding the nasopharynx. During endoscopic examination three nasopharyngeal bots were identified embedded in the mass. The larvae were removed and the patient treated with ivermectin. The patient was discharged one week later free of clinical respiratory disease. In follow-up radiographs made 6 weeks later, only residual radiopacity in the area of the mass remained. 相似文献

An isolate of Sarcocystis neurona (SN7) was obtained from the spinal cord of a horse with neurologic signs. The parasite was isolated in cultures of bovine monocytes and equine spleen cells. The organism divided by endopolygeny and completed at least one asexual cycle in cell cultures in 3 days. The parasite was maintained by subpassages in bovine monocytes for 10 months when it was found to be non-pathogenic to gamma interferon knockout (KO) mice. Revival of a low passage (10th passage) of the initial isolate stored in liquid nitrogen for 18 months retained its pathogenicity for KO mice. Merozoites (10(6)) of the late passage (22nd passage) were infective to only one of four KO mice inoculated. Similar results were obtained with SN6 isolate of S. neurona. No differences were found in Western blot patterns using antigens from the low and high passage merozoites of the SN7 and SN6 isolates. These results suggest that prolonged passage in cell culture may affect the pathogenicity of some isolates of S. neurona. 相似文献
