Öğe Cystitis and Bilateral Pyonephrosis in a Mixed Breed Goat(Univ Agriculture, Fac Veterinary Science, 2018) Kose, Serkan Irfan; Kanat, Ozgur; Cantekin, Zafer; Ozturk, Aliye Sagkan; Erturk, AlperPyonephrosis defined as suppurative destruction of the parenchyma of the kidney and rarely reported in domestic animals The aim of this case report was to evaluate pyonephrosis in the goat by clinical, laboratory and ultrasonographic examinations. A 4-years-old mixed breed doe goat in 45 kg body weight, having complaints with abdominal distension, dysuria, strangury, abdominal pain, groaning, and lethargy, was used. General physical and laboratory examinations, ultrasonographic imaging, and microbiological analysis were performed. Goat was euthanized by the owner request because of bad clinical situation and prognosis. Pyonephrosis and cystitis were determined in this mixed breed goat in the light of clinical, laboratory, ultrasonographic imaging, and especially post-mortem examinations. In conclusion, the results of this case report will provide important insights into pyonephrosis less frequently seen in goats in the clinics. (C) 2018 PVJ. All rights reservedÖğe Diagnosis of Transmissible Venereal Tumors in Bitches - Platelet Indices Are a Remarkable Marker?(Univ Fed Rio Grande Do Sul, 2023) Kose, Serkan Irfan; Kose, Ayse Merve; Urer, Ece Koldas; Bahan, Onur; Gozer, Ahmet; Ambarcioglu, PinarBackground: Hematological analyses are seen as more preferred laboratory analyses in canine transmissible venereal tumor studies. There is no information about the availability of platelets and their indices in routine practice in canine transmissible venereal tumor cases. Taking this as a starting point, this study analyzed the usefulness of platelet indices in dogs with transmissible venereal tumor in clinical laboratory diagnosis as well as examined the relationship between white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets (PLT), main platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), plateletcrit (PCT), and the ratio of main platelet volume to platelets (MPV/PLT). Materials, Methods & Results: In the study, a total of 42 bitches of various breeds were used. Nineteen healthy bitches were used as a control group, and the others 23 with cTVT as a study group. Metastasis was not observed in any of the bitches involved in the study. History, clinical findings, and cytological examinations were evaluated for the diagnosis of cTVT. In animals with hemorrhagic discharge and neoplastic lesions, a vaginal cytological examination was performed. Typical TVT cells with large nuclei and intracytoplasmic vacuoles were observed in the vaginal cytological examinations, and the diagnosis of TVT was made. Healthy bitches (19) and those with TVT (23) were 39.16 5.37 months and 47.61 5.14 months old, respectively. From all animals, 2 mL blood samples were collected from V. cephalica to evaluate PIs in the complete blood count (CBC). Collected blood samples were analyzed using an automated hematology analyzer. As a result of the analysis, WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCHC, RDW, PLT, MPV, PDW, PCT, and MPV/PLT data were obtained. Mild leukocytosis, an increase in PLT, and a decrease in MCV and MPV/PLT were determined in the study group compared to the control group. Cut-off values in CBC of bitches with TVT were determined as WBC: 13.35 (sensitivity: 78%; specificity: 90%); MCV: 67 (sensitivity: 57%; specificity: 95%); PLT: 315.50 (sensitivity: 65%; specificity: 74%); and MPV/PLT: 0.028 (sensitivity: 78%; specificity: 58%). In CBC analyses, a strong negative correlation between PLT and MPV/PLT was detected in both groups. Discussion: Canine transmissible venereal tumors are common in both stray and pet dogs. It is naturally transferred from animal to animal during mating by live tumor cells. This tumor can commonly affect the external genitalia and internal organs in some cases. It generally has the look of cauliflower, and its surface is ulcerated, inflammatory, hemorrhagic, and infectious. More preferred laboratory analyses are complete blood count and blood chemistry analysis in cTVT for to evaluate the success of treatments. Platelet indices have been investigated in many diseases such as endotoxemia, chronic enteropathy, mammary tumor, parvoviral enteritis, septic peritonitis, lymphoma, pyometra, visceral leishmaniasis, and babesiosis in dogs. There is no information available for either diagnostic or prognostic use of the PIs in canine TVT cases. Ultimately, in light of the presented study's results, platelet indices, especially PLT and the MPV/PLT ratio, seem to be notable laboratory markers in terms of easy accessibility and low-cost assessment techniques in canine transmissible venereal tumor cases. New data, however, should be established by a thorough follow-up study using a larger sample size and addressing its usefulness as a diagnostic or prognostic marker in canine transmissible venereal tumors.Öğe The Effect of Cefovecin Sodium in Shelter Dogs with Bacterial Lower Respiratory Disease(Inst Tecnologia Parana, 2023) Kose, Serkan Irfan; Ozer, Burcin; Gonenci, Ramazan; Cantekin, ZaferThis study evaluated the clinical and bacteriological efficacy of cefovecin sodium in shelter dogs with bacterial lower respiratory disease. All dogs (n = 32) with lower respiratory disease were divided into two treatment groups: the cefovecin (n = 16) and the ceftriaxone (n = 16) groups. On the first five days and the 8th day of treatment, and after treatment (15th day), the examination of all dogs was performed. Blood analysis and thoracic radiographic imaging were done. In bronchoalveolar lavage fluids, in the cefovecin group, Bordetella bronchiseptica (n=13), Staphylococcus spp. (n=9), Streptococcus spp. (n=7), Klebsiella pneumonia (n=1); in the ceftriaxone group; B. bronchiseptica (n=5), Escherichia coli (n=5), Pasteurella canis (n=4), Streptococcus spp. (n=3), Staphylococcus aureus (n=1), Pasteurella aerogenes (n=1) and Klebsiella oxytoca (n=1) were isolated and identified. Cefovecin and ceftriaxone sodium treatment protocols had anti-bacterial efficacies of 68.75% and 100%, respectively. In light of the study results, it is concluded that although cefovecin sodium looks to be an antibacterial drug that may be used to treat bacterial lower respiratory tract infections in shelter dogs due to its ease of use, cefovecin and other cephalosporins should not be used empirically as they may contribute to bacterial resistance.Öğe THE EFFECTS OF L-CARNITINE IN BUDD-CHIARI SYNDROME IN A DOMESTIC CAT(Univ Sv Kiril & Metodij Skopje, Fak Veterinarna Medicina, 2016) Ozturk, Aliye Sagkan; Altug, Nuri; Kose, Serkan Irfan; Ozturk, Oktay HasanThis paper describes a thrombosis in the vena cava caudalis of a 15 year-old cat with ascites. Trauma and eventually feline enteric corona virus infection in the cat were not detected. In the intrahepatic region, a blockage of vena cava caudalis was brought to light by ultrasonographic imaging. An aspirate of abdominal fluid revealed modified transudate. Liver enzyme levels were increased in the serum sample of the cat. The levels of total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS) were elevated in the peritoneal fluid. Liver protection diet with L-carnitine, diuretic therapy and antimicrobial drugs were administrated for treatment of the cat. During the continuous treatment, the amount of abdominal fluid decreased, but never completely absorbed. L-carnitine was administered to the cat during the time of treatment, and subsequently the levels of liver enzymes decreased. However, the cat died because of recurrent ascites and persistent thrombosis. In conclusion, ultrasonographic examination was very reliable, non-invasive and highly useful diagnostic method for BCS and L-carnitine has crucial effects on the quality of life, energy metabolism and liver enzyme levels. However, the blockage of the vena cava caudalis could not completely respond to medical treatment and thrombosis should be eliminated by surgical intervention.Öğe How Did SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic Affect the Cats' Health in Hatay Province? A retrospective study(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2022) Kose, Serkan Irfan; Ozturk, Aliye Sagkan; Uyanik, GokhanThe SARS-CoV-2 pandemic affected not only the physical and emotional health of human beings but also cats. Restrictions put into effect during the pandemic resulted in changes in the daily routine of pet cats and the number of new pet owners. The current study aimed to evaluate the diseases induced by stress in cats, such as gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and urinary tract diseases. To this end, the study evaluated the pre -pan-demic (n: 52) (March 2019-Feb 2020) and pandemic (n: 95) (March 2020-March 2021) diagnosis data of cats (n: 147) with gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and urinary system diseases admitted to the Internal Medicine Department of Hatay Mustafa Kemal University Veterinary Health, Practice and Research Center between March 2019 and March 2021. There was no statistically significant difference between the sexes of the cats admitted to the clinic in both periods. There was a significant change in cat breeds during the pandemic, except for the mixed-breed and Ankara breeds. The age (mean +/- SEM) of the cats admitted to the clinic was 30.14 +/- 4.24 months before the pandemic and 30.45 +/- 3.43 during the pandemic. Distributions of gastroin-testinal diseases in the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods were determined as 35.7% and 64.3%, respec-tively. During the pandemic, the number of gastritis cases was lower than that in the pre-pandemic period, and the number of gastroenteritis cases was higher than that in the pre-pandemic period. Except for gastro-intestinal diseases (P <.05), a statistical difference between the periods was not found. The changes, espe-cially influencing the daily routine of cats and causing stress, seem to have had significant effects on the gastrointestinal health of domestic cats. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.

In this study, prospective cross-sectional serologic survey and examination of local health authority records for CSD, the seroprevalence of antibodies against Bartonella henselae in pet and stray cats, and its public health aspect were investigated. Total antibodies to B. henselae were evaluated by indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) in serum samples taken from 93 pet cats and 93 stray cats from the Selcuk University Veterinary Faculty Animal Hospital and Konya Municipality Stray Animal Shelter. Percentages of pet cats and stray cats seropositive for antibodies against Bartonella henselae (26.88% and 41.94%, respectively) were significantly higher than percentages of pet cats. Total seroprevalence of Bartonella henselae was found to be 34.41% in the study. A total of 438 CSD cases were identified in the Konya region according to the data received from local health authority records in the previous 1.5 years (2011-2012). Stray cats have higher seroprevalences of antibodies against Bartonella henselae, but this likely was related to greater exposure to vectors of these organisms. In conclusion, it was observed that CSD is an important risk for public health in Konya region. Therefore in order to decrease CSD prevalence in this region and prevent transmission of the disease to humans, information, treatment and prevention studies must be carried out within the One Health concept.
