Disturbances of the postpartum period can occur in all female livestock, of which uterine prolapse is the most commonly diagnosed. The author decided to describe his own case of uterine prolapse in a female alpaca and one of the possible treatments. Knowing the reasons for its occurrence and performing appropriate and quick therapy reduces the risk of consequences resulting from later and occasionally an incorrect diagnosis and treatment. It also contributes to the preservation of proper subsequent female oestrus cycles, and its fertility.

To our knowledge, there are no sufficient reports on the full management of hip luxation in rabbits, including descriptions of the diagnostics procedure with the use of computed tomography, surgical procedure, and postoperative management with a measurable assessment of the results. The objective of this study was to report on a computed tomography examination of a coxofemoral joint in a rabbit, a surgical technique for the repair of craniodorsal coxofemoral dislocation, as well as short- and long-term postoperative outcomes. Craniodorsal coxofemoral luxation was diagnosed by physical examination and radiographic examination. A craniodorsal luxation of the femoral head and the presence of an intact femoral neck were confirmed by computed tomography. An ostectomy of the femoral head and neck was performed using a craniolateral open approach. The coxofemoral luxation was successfully reduced, and reluxation did not occur. At short- and long-term follow-ups, in parallel with clinical examination, an extensive pain assessment protocol was applied. CT proved to be a simple and effective technique and should be considered as an alternative to radiographic examination for diagnosis of coxofemoral luxation in rabbits. An immediate surgical intervention in hip dislocation in rabbits is necessary to alleviate pain associated with the movement of the injured joint and to avoid development of degenerative changes. In follow-up examinations after the procedure, a reliable assessment of postoperative pain and the effectiveness of perioperative analgesia should be made by introducing a postoperative pain assessment protocol. It could simplify an objective comparison between outcomes of different orthopaedic procedures in rabbits.

Knowing the blood composition and determining the range of reference values for individual species of domestic animals is a key factor in monitoring their individual and herd health. The aim of the study was to determine the values of selected morphological and biochemical blood parameters, and also to compare the results obtained for farm red deer (Cervus elaphus) with fallow deer (Dama dama). Blood haematological parameters were determined using an automatic haematological analyzer with appropriate software, while biochemical parameters were determined using an automatic analyzer using the spectrophotometric method. The values of morphological and biochemical blood parameters of both deer species were close to the reference values of the blood of domestic ruminants. The only significant differences concerned the level of glucose and total cholesterol. Mean glucose levels of 145.90 ± 28.56 g/dl in red deer and 96.31 ± 14.51 g/dl in fallow deer were higher compared to glucose levels in sheep, goats and cattle. In contrast, the cholesterol level of 59.90 ± 3.18 mg/dl and 77.23 ± 13.74 mg/dl, respectively, in of the researched species was significantly lower compared to the reference level for domestic ruminants. To conclude, it can be assumed that these differences in blood composition may result from the species diversity of the tested animals compared to sheep, goats and cattle. In addition, it should be borne in mind that different husbandry procedures are used for these species, including limited interference with their feeding habits, which in this case are closer to the conditions of their natural habitat.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an acute, febrile, highly contagious infectious disease characterized by reproductive dysfunction and respiratory failure. Its high morbidity and mortality have caused significant economic losses to the swine industry. With the continuous development of PRRSV, its genetic variation is also increasing, which causes great difficulties for the clinical prevention and control of infections casued by the virus. Monitoring the genetic variation of the virus and vaccine immunity at any time is the current research focus. In this study, patients suspected of having PRRSV were sampled, and the virus was successfully isolated. The genomic variation characteristics of the new isolate of HLJ03 were determined, especially the molecular characteristics of GP5 and NSP2, and the main focus was placed on the analysis of genetic variation. The results provide important information for further investigation of the molecular prevalence of porcine PRRSV and create a basis for the prevention and control of porcine PRRSV infections.

Gingivostomatitis is a common finding in veterinary feline patients. Many conditions and infectious agents have been suggested to play a part in pathogenesis of feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS), including pathogens and noninfectious factors. The most common approaches to treating gingivostomatitis are pharmacotherapy and surgical dental extraction. However, despite the application of these methods, treatment progress is often unsatisfactory: many cats show little or no improvement and require further treatment. Data from the literature indicate a high therapeutic efficacy of tooth extraction combined with mesenchymal stem cell application. This method can significantly improve the effectiveness of treatment and the patient’s prognosis compared to tooth extraction alone, which is a method of choice in the case of gingivostomatitis. Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent progenitor cells that divide, differentiate, and eventually trigger the genesis of different tissues. Furthermore, they exhibit anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and antimicrobial effects and can modulate neoangiogenesis. These and other properties of stem cells, whose biology has been studied and described in detail, explain their beneficial effects in FCGS treatment. For veterinary surgeons considering this method, mesenchymal stem cell sources include bone marrow and adipose tissue. There are many established stem cell isolation protocols, which are summarized in this publication.

In recent years, the association between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) changes and tumorigenesis has been discussed. In contrast to human medicine, there are still few studies on the molecular basis of canine tumors. One of the most commonly diagnosed, solid mammary carcinoma, is characterized by its aggressiveness, difficult treatment, and generally poor prognosis. The aim of the study was to reveal mutations and polymorphisms in mtDNA in dogs with solid mammary carcinoma and to determine the relationship of these changes with the process of neoplastic transformation. Blood, healthy tissue, and neoplastic tissue samples were collected from two crossbreed dogs diagnosed with G3 and G2 solid mammary carcinoma. Subsequently, for the first time, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) was used to analyze the whole genome mtDNA of dogs with solid mammary carcinoma. Thus, bioinformatic analyses included all 37 mitochondrial genes. As a result, 10 polymorphisms and 20 mutations were identified. Most polymorphisms/mutations were found in the dog with the more advanced stage of the disease (G3). Twelve of the thirty changes identified have not been described in the literature so far. These include eleven mutations in COX2 (m.7308A>G), ATP6 (m.8536C>T), ND4L (ins.9913_9914AG, ins.9913_9914TG, m.10165C>T), ND4 (m.10204C>T), CYTB (m.16248A>G, m.16268A>G), D-loop (m.16378G>A, m.16408G>A, m.16507T>A) which may be related to canine tumorigenesis.

Hair cortisol analysis is a helpful tool for non-invasive measurement of the long-term activity of the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis. Long-term exposure to stressors affects, among others, animals staying in shelters for homeless animals. The study aimed to assess the hair cortisol level in cats from 8 different shelters. Hair grows on average about 1 cm per month. Therefore, it was concluded that the cortisol level in the hair closer than 1 cm to the skin reflected the cortisol level in cats during their stay in the shelter (A period). In contrast, the cortisol level in the rest of the hair corresponded to the cortisol level preceding the cat’s admission to the shelter (B period). Hair cortisol levels in the cats were higher before they arrived at the shelter than during their stay. Hair cortisol levels in the period before the shelter were higher in females than they were in males. On the other hand, during the stay at the shelter, the opposite was true: the cortisol level in females was lower than in males.

Mandibular fractures are the most common among all skull fractures. Most of them are the result of blunt trauma resulting from hitting an obstacle, kicking by another horse, or falling after a jump. The majority of fractures are open and infected. Some of them are complicated, involving the molar or premolar teeth. Treatment of such fractures is challenging because results depend on stable bony union and functional integrity of the occlusal surface. Osteosyntheses were performed under general anesthesia. Complications included infection around one implant close to the fracture line and fistulation in case 2 created by a fractured tooth which had to be extracted. In spite of the mentioned problems, good results were achieved in both cases. Stabilization of unilateral mandibular fractures with our own design fixator which is minimally invasive and provides sufficient fixation to obtain good results. The use of the fixator has proved to be beneficial and has a number of advantages in the treatment of this kind of fracture.

Foot-and mouth disease (FMD) and peste des petits ruminants (PPR) are highly contagious and an economically devastating diseases, currently endemic to the African and Asian continents. The aim of this paper was to present the role of wildlife in the epidemiology of both diseases. There are more than 100 species of wild, feral, laboratory, or domesticated animals that have been infected naturally or experimentally with FMD or PPR viruses. Experimental infections of several African wild ruminants can result in clinical FMD. African buffalo represents the best known FMD wild host reservoir in Sub-Saharan Africa. North American mule deer were found susceptible to FMDV infection with significant mortality. Other wild ruminants such as impala can also contribute to FMDV maintenance. In Europe several deer species and the Eurasian wild boar are susceptible to FMDV. PPRV has been reported to have infected some wildlife, such as African buffalo, saiga antelope, dorcas gazelles, gemsbok, Nubian ibex and some other ungulate species. The role of wildlife in FMD and PPR epidemiology may concern wildlife as indicators, victims, bridge hosts or maintenance hosts for both diseases. In addition, they are occasionally victims of disease outbreaks, and they are often relevant for disease management as either bridge or maintenance hosts. Wildlife deserves to become a key component of future integrated surveillance and disease control strategies in an ever-changing world. However, it must be stated that efforts to control FMD and PPR in wildlife may not be successful when the diseases are endemic in livestock and may cause more harm to wildlife, human livelihoods, and domestic animals.

The purpose of this study is to present the profiles of fifty-seven Polish veterinary surgeons, prisoners of the Starobielsk camp, murdered at the headquarters of the Kharkov NKVD Board in late April and early May 1940 and buried at the Polish War Cemetery, Cemetery of Victims of Totalitarianism in Kharkov. In the article, the authors provide a brief historical outline of the Red Army’s invasion of Poland in September 1939 and the motives leading to the Katyn Massacre. The main part of the article contains a list of names of Polish veterinary surgeons, victims of the Katyn Massacre, together with biographical notes.

It is also important to assume that after the end of the current war, the Polish War Cemetery in Kharkov will probably become the only memorial of the Katyn Massacre on the territory of the former USSR.
