A CASE REPORT ON CAESAREAN SECTION OF COW AT LOHAGARA UPAZILLA, CHATTOGRAM, BANGLADESH
(Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University Chattogram-4225, Bangladesh, 2020-08) BARUA, BIJOY
Caesarean Section is a surgical procedure in which an incision is given through the abdominal wall and uterus in order to deliver fetus. It is also known as C-section. Dystocia is a common disorder in high yielding breeds. It is one of the most challenging surgical procedures in case of dystocia to save life of dam and fetus. An owner came from Charomba with a history of 3 years old Sahiwal cross cow of first pregnancy suffering from difficult parturition at his backyard farm to Upazilla veterinary hospital & livestock office, Lohagara, Chattogram. The owner claimed that the cow had labor pain more than 24 hours. On clinical examination the cow revealed normal temperature, respiration, heart rate and pulse rate. The cow was in lateral recumbent position. Per vaginal examination revealed complete dilatation of cervix, anterior presentation of fetus but only two fore limbs were in the bath canal & the head was laterally bend with existence of death fetus. Then it was decided to perform a cesarean section to deliver fetus. The surgery was performed only using local anesthesia by inverted ‘L’ block technique. Instruments were sterilized by boiling of water. The operation site was prepared for aseptic surgical procedure. A vertical incision was given in the left flank. Single death fetus was surgically and successfully removed with proper care to avoid proliferation of uterine contents into the peritoneal cavity. The cow was treated with antibiotics (Streptopenicillin@10mg/kg, IM), antihistaminic (Pheniraminemaleate@1mg/kg, IM), painkiller (Meloxicam@ 0.5mg/kg, s/c), fluid (5% DNS, IV) and minerals (Ca, Mg, P, IV) during the first 5 days of post-surgery. For topical application at incision line in skin used 5% Povidone iodine twice in a day. Removed skin suture materials at 14th day of post-surgery. Caesarean section through left flank laparotomy is an effective method of resolving dystocia to save cow with fetus.

(Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University Chattogram-4225, Bangladesh, 2019) Uddin Nipu, Md Naim
This report presents a case of a 10-year-old canine patient diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertensive cardiomyopathy. The dog exhibited typical symptoms of CKD, such as decreased appetite, weight loss, increased thirst, and frequent urination. Laboratory tests confirmed elevated kidney function markers, including Creatinine and Blood Urea Nitrogen, along with proteinuria in urine analysis. Ultrasound imaging revealed structural changes in the kidneys. Additionally, elevated cardiac troponin-I levels and X-ray findings indicated heart enlargement, suggesting hypertensive cardiomyopathy. A comprehensive treatment plan was implemented to address the underlying conditions and improve the dog's quality of life. This included dietary modifications to reduce protein and phosphorus intake, medication to manage blood pressure and control phosphorus levels, and supportive care to address secondary complications. Regular monitoring of kidney function and overall health was essential to assess treatment response and adjust the treatment plan as needed. While the dog showed initial improvement following treatment, long-term management of CKD and its associated complications remains crucial. This case underscores the significance of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment for CKD in dogs. By addressing the underlying kidney disease and its associated complications, veterinarians can improve the quality of life and extend the lifespan of affected dogs.

A 20 days old male deshi (local) calf was presented at Upazilla Veterinary Hospital, Kaptai, Rangamati for ocular examination in November 2019 with a history of epiphora, blepharospasm and ocular discharge for 5 days. Clinical examination revealed that, there was hairy growth in the median canthus and ocular discharge on right eye. No pain noticed on the direct palpation. The present case was diagnosed as ocular dermoid cyst and surgical treatment was needed. On other clinical examination revealed that the calf had no other complication and feeding habit was normal. In the surgical process, no sedation was needed because the calf was restrained by owner. Firstly, regional nerve such as infraorbital and supraorbital nerve was blocked with 2% lignocaine to desensitize the eyeball. After desensitize the eyeball dermoid tissue of the eyeball was grasped gently by forceps and excised the cyst by surgical blade. This procedure is called superficial keratectomy. After surgery, post- operative care was suggested and combination of procaine penicillin &streptomycin antibiotics, antihistaminic drug & painkiller were i/mly administrated to prevent infection and pain. The calf was followed up after 6 days of surgery and no reoccurrence was seen. In conclusion, we can say that superficial keratectomy was the scientific way to remove dermoid cyst. Post-operative care with antibiotics and supportive treatment was followed to check secondary bacterial infections and avoid post-operative complication. After 6 days, the completion of post-operative period the calf was recovered well.

(Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University Khulshi, Chattogram-4225, Bangladesh, 2022-11) Tanjid, Sumyia
Beef cattle rearing is very popular all over the world to meet the demand for animal protein and the growth rate of beef breed increasing day by day. The main objective of this study was to assess the health status of an exotic American Brahman beef cattle breed. A case was attended to or call on by a veterinarian in a commercial beef cattle farm. This case history was that, 10 years old American Brahman cattle, weighing 938kg, presented with a primary complaint of weakness, off- feed and laminitis. The cow had a history of being imported from America to Bangladesh. Physical examination findings revealed severe dehydration, off-feed, laminitis. Clinical examination findings were rectal temperature 102°F, abnormal rapid breathing and increase heart rate. For proper diagnosis, haemato-biochemical tests of diseased cattle were done, and proximate components and mineral analysis of feed were also done. Blood samples from other four healthy Brahman cattle were also evaluated for comparison. Haematological parameters of diseased cattle revealed Hb 70g/L, PCV 24% and TLC 18.10×10³/cumm. In biochemical examination of diseased cattle found calcium 7.3mg/dl, phosphorus 8.4 mg/dl, albumin 22.6g/L, AST 153.6 U/L, ALT 109.7 U/L, BUN 45.6 mg/dl, creatinine 4.7 mg/dl, total protein 117.1g/L and glucose 27.6 mg/dl. The haemato-biochemical parameters of healthy cattle were within normal range. Due to the severe dehydration and prolonged fasting in diseased cattle, blood glucose levels are drastically reduced. In conclusion, we may say that the diseased cattle had died due to hypoglycaemic shock.
A case study on ileocolic intussusception in a Doberman dog
(Chattogram Veterinary & Animal |Sciences University, 2013-06) Bary, Md. Akramul
A study was undertaken to diagnose the ileocolic intusussception and compared the haematological parameters of a four-months-old male doberman dog with normal value. The dog was presented on october 3, 2012 to the pet centre, Tamilnadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (TANUVAS), Namakkal, India, with a history of vomiting and tenesmus, no defecation, fresh blood was discharging through rectum, abdominal palpation felt a firm, painful mass in the mid-caudal abdomen. The case was suggestive of intestinal intussusceptions, later on an ultrasound examination revealed alternating hyperechoic and hypoechoic concentric rings within the lumen of a distended loop of bowel, giving the typical "target" sign and soft-tissue opacity mass was being identified on survey radiographs. The intussusception was found to be ileocolic on laparotomy. Resection and end-to-end anastomosis was performed. After surgery, the patient recovered slowly and did not vomit for 5 days, after which the patient regurgitated once daily. So, rapid identification of the intussusception with correction of fluid and electrolyte disorders, followed by immediate surgical intervention, is being possible to a successful outcome. Key words: canine, ultrasonography, intestinal telescoping, resection, end-to-end anastomosis.
A Case Study on Repeated Jaundice in a Local Breed Female Cat
(Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University Khulshi, Chattogram-4225, Bangladesh, 2022-11) Rashid Mim, Afrin
A 2-year-7-month-old female local breed cat was diagnosed with jaundice about 3 times this year. The cat was icteric with severe hyperbilirubinemia. Hematological and serum biochemical analysis revealed that the cat had severe hyperbilirubinemia associated with hypophosphatemia and FIV virus. It also had moderate elevation of alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. Our study revealed that hemolysis occurs due to hypophosphatemia and FIV virus infection and this condition leads to repeated jaundice. After being treated with medicinal drugs such as cynomin, cataphos, amphexin and given a nutritionally balanced diet accordingly to daily energy the cat recovered from this condition.
