Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Veterinary Faculty Animal Hospital was brought from livestock to 3 calves aged between 15 and 20 days with complaints of weakness, dehydration, inability to get up and nervous findings. Two of them failed to the treatment, and brought to the pathology department after euthanized. Both animals were macroscopically dehydrated, cachectic, and hair loss in some parts of the body. There was 1-2 liters of white light colored transparent fluid in the abdominal cavity. Many organs and serous membranes in the abdominal cavity were hyperemic. At histopathological examination, haemorrhage, edema and degenerative changes were detected in many parenchymatous organs. Calcium oxalate crystals were found in many tubular lumen, especially proximal convolute tubules in kidneys. In the light of clinical, macroscopic and histopathological findings, the case was diagnosed with ethylene glycol toxicity. Ethylene glycol toxicity is often seen in cats and dogs living near industrial or auto car repair shops, and animals that accidentally drink antifreeze wastes. In this case report, ethylene glycol toxicity was reported for the first time in calves in livestock.
Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy大学兽医学院动物医院将3只年龄在15至20天之间的小牛从牲畜中送到，它们有虚弱、脱水、无法站起来和神经紧张的症状。其中两只治疗失败，被送到病理科后实施了安乐死。两种动物均出现宏观脱水、恶病质和身体某些部位脱毛。腹腔内有1-2升白色浅色透明液体。腹腔内许多器官及浆膜充血。在组织病理学检查中，在许多实质器官中发现出血，水肿和退行性改变。在许多肾小管腔中发现草酸钙晶体，尤其是近曲小管。结合临床、肉眼及组织病理学检查，诊断为乙二醇中毒。乙二醇中毒常见于生活在工业或汽车修理店附近的猫和狗，以及不小心喝下防冻剂废物的动物。在本病例报告中，首次报道了牲畜中小牛的乙二醇毒性。

Abstract: Despite having a low fatality rate in monkeys, monkeypox remains an important disease because of its zoonotic potential. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical, pathological, ultrastructural and virological findings of the first monkeypox case diagnosed in a baby monkey in Turkey with unknown transmission. A monkeypox infection was detected in a 1-month-old, female, baby monkey born in Antalya Zoo and died with skin lesions. It was reported that the baby's mother did not care for and caregivers took care of the cub, and skin lesions on the hands of the caregivers and responsible veterinarian were reported. Necropsy, histopathology, electron microscopy and CAM test were performed. Typical cutaneous and pulmonary poxvirus finding in a baby monkey was described in this case. CAM results firstly reported in a monkeypox case. Because of the zoonotic potential of illness, monkey colonies, particularly in zoos, must be controlled with vigilance. This is the first monkeypox report in a baby monkey in Turkey.

In this research, the clinical and radiological findings after the treatment of distal femoral fractures in cats using hybrid external fixator were evaluated. The research material consisted of totally 10 cats with different ages, races and sexes that were clinically diagnosed with femoral fracture. Hybrid external fixators configured by both circular and linear fixators were used as osteosynthesis materials in the study. Two cases with closed fractures were applied with closed reduction and external fixation methods whereas 8 cases diagnosed with open fracture or excessive dislocation underwent limited open reduction and external fixation. The radiological examination findings revealed that fracture consolidation started on the postoperative 7th and 10th days in 9 and 1 cases, respectively. Bone healing was completed (formation of osseous callus was detected) in 4, 5 and 6 weeks in 2, 2 and 6 cases, respectively. The fixators of all the patients were removed 1 week after completion of healing. In the study, soft tissue complications such as edema of the related extremity, mild pin-base infection and open fracture wound were determined in 3, 3 and 4 cases, respectively. However, these complications were found not to negatively affect the healing time of the fractures. As a consequence, it was concluded according to the data obtained from this study that distal femoral fractures in the cats within the age and weight range of the study can be successfully treated using hybrid external fixator method

In this trial, it was planned to determine the effect of protected calcium butyrate (PCB) supplemented at different amounts on performance, carcass characteristics, blood biochemical values, jejunum histomorphology, and meat traits in Japanese quails. 196 one-day-old unsexed Japanese quails divided into 4 groups with 7 replicates. A conventional corn and soybean meal-based diet was formulated, and all groups’ diets were supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 g/kg PCB respectively for 42 days. From the results, PCB supplementation significantly improved body weight (BW) on the 21st day, body weight gain (BWG) between 0 to 21 days, hot carcass yield (HCY), relative weights of the hearth. Similarly, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and villus height (VH) levels were lower in PCB supplemented groups. Besides, PCB supplementation in Japanese quails decreased villus-crypt rate (VCR) except for the control and the group fed with 2.0 g/kg PCB. This study showed that dietary PCB supplementation in Japanese quails’ diet improved growth performance in young chicks and carcass yield, BUN, and lipid profile. On the other hand, the supplementation didn’t affect the antioxidant status, homocysteine, and folic acid values in blood and meat traits.

Anencephaly is a congenital disease manifesting with the absence of the brain due to the failure of the cranial part of the neural tube to close during the embryonic stage. The disease may be accompanied by other anomalies and usually results in premature death. A stillborn puppy of a 2-year-old female Pomeranian dog is examined in this case. The lack of brain tissue and accompanying abnormal skull formation was noted macroscopically. The eyes were protruding out of their normal position (exophthalmos), and a bifid tongue together with a secondary cleft palate was present. On serial sections stained with Haematoxylin-Eosin, only the medulla spinalis among the central nervous system structures could be inspected microscopically. Immunohistochemistry staining revealed GFAP immunoreactivity in the astrocytic glial cells. NeuN immunoreactivity was detected in the neurons in the medulla spinalis and spinal ganglions. Incomplete retinal layers were observed on the eye sections stained with Haematoxylin-Eosin and NeuN. The case was concluded to be coherent with skull and nervous system congenital malformations rarely observed in dogs. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first description of a dog with anencephaly, bifid tongue and cleft palate.

Research on the history of the fields of science has special meanings and importance in the history of veterinary medicine. Various studies are carried out on this subject, both at the level of scientific articles and at the level of large-scale doctorate. In this article, the beginning of the veterinary surgery field in Turkey and its historical development in Ankara University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, which is the oldest faculty, are discussed. The main material of the study was the first-hand archival resources provided by the Rectorate, Dean's Office and Departments of Ankara University, and information was collected by making face-to-face and telephone interviews with the academicians of the field. Various books and journals related to the subject were also used. The data obtained were evaluated within the framework of the historical methodology and were written down chronologically. The processes of the modern surgery education, which started with the Prussian Veterinarian Godlewsky in the Ottoman period, continued within the Higher Agricultural Institute and later Ankara University in the post-Republican period, the changes in the structure of the department with the changes in the university laws, the educational status, the academic stages and the number of publications until April 2022 of faculty members have been determined. The data obtained can shed light on the evaluations to be made in this field. As a result, it has been tried to present a well-coordinated source on the history of the field. The inclusion of detailed data on the surgical units of all veterinary faculties in Turkey would enable the holistic determination of the quality of surgery in veterinary medicine.

Lethal acrodermatitis (LAD) is a rare disease affecting bull terriers and miniature bull terriers characterized by poor growth, progressive skin lesions and immunodeficiency. A mutation in the Muskelin 1 (MKLN1) gene was determined as the causative mutation for LAD, and a genetic testing method for affected dogs has been established. A bull terrier representing symptoms similar to those of LAD was submitted to clinics, and a blood sample was taken for genetic testing. DNA was extracted, and direct mutation screening confirmed the causative mutation MKLN1:c.400+3A>C. Due to the severe progression of the disease and lack of available treatment, we have been informed that the patient was euthanised. This is the first report case of LAD from Turkiye, and based on our findings, we heavily suggest that owners and breeders should implement genetic testing before breeding to reduce and eventually eradicate this mutation from the population.

Dogs have an important role in public health due to their close contact with humans and living in common areas. This study was aimed to investigate the presence and prevalence of gastrointestinal system helminths in stray dogs in Erzurum province. Gastrointestinal helminth eggs were detected in a total of 190 out of 446 (42.6%) in stray dogs in Erzurum province. In the study, taeniid eggs (17.71%, 79/446), T. canis (16.82%, 75/446), T. leonina (12.78%, 57/446), Linguatula spp. (4.48%, 20/446), spiny-headed worms (2.91%, 13/446), hookworms (2.69%, 12/446), Alaria spp. (1.12%, 5/446) and Trichuris spp. (0.22%, 1/446) eggs were observed. In addition, proglottid structures of Mesocestoides spp. (3.14%), Taenia spp. (2.69%), and D. caninum (1.12%), adults of Alaria spp. (0.22%), T. canis (0.22%), and T. leonina (0.22%) were detected. According to the results of the study, zoonotic parasites including taeniid cestodes, T. canis, Linguatula spp., spiny-headed worm, hookworm, Alaria spp., and Trichuris spp. were common in stray dogs in the province. Public health risks can be reduced by regular deworming of dogs, proper management of the process, prevention of environmental contamination with dog feces, and proper enforcement of sanitation protocols.

Abstract: The first practices associated with specialization training in veterinary medicine in Turkey were initiated in the field of military veterinary medicine in 1880s. On the other hand, six civilian veterinarians were sent abroad for specialization training in 1909. In the Republican era, specialization training in civil veterinary medicine was carried out in a planned and programmed system in accordance with the seven basic regulations issued by the Ministry of Agriculture from 1942 to the 1980s. In 1982, all graduate studies in the field of health sciences were included in graduate schools of health sciences, meanwhile the Specialization High School, the main institution that trains specialists for civil veterinary services, was closed, thus specialization education in this field was terminated. In the following years, the legal regulations prepared for specialization training in civil veterinary medicine could not be put into effect, thus specialists could not be trained for about 40 years. In 2018, a new regulation was put into effect for specialization training in civil veterinary medicine. But since the training has not started yet, it remains unknown to what extent this practice will meet national requirements and universal standards.

But since the training has not started yet, it remains unknown to what extent this practice will meet national requirements and universal standards.","PeriodicalId":7874,"journal":{"name":"Ankara Universitesi Veteriner Fakultesi Dergisi","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69596169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
The article investigates the influence of visceral (surgical treatment of abdominal pathologies) and somatic pain syndrome (osteosynthesis) on dogs’ clinical parameters and haemostasis. It was found, that the best variant for abdominal operations in dogs is acepromazine-ketamine-propofol anaesthesia and for osteosynthesis – acepromazine-butorphanol-ketamine. The use of neuroleptics (acepromazine, xylazine) with general anaesthetics (ketamine, propofol, sodium thiopental) in abdominal operations ensured rapid entry into anaesthesia (< 2 min) and duration 19–23 min. The use of acepromazine-ketamine-propofol provided well-managed anaesthesia during 11.1 ± 0.5 min, rapid recovery (17.3 ± 2.4 min), without significant changes in heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), blood pressure (BP), haemoglobin saturation (SpO2). Unbalanced anaesthesia and insufficient analgesia under xylazine-ketamine caused a sharp decrease in HR, BP, RR with their increase due to visceral pain, led to hypoxia (SpO2 < 92%). During the osteosynthesis, acepromazine-butorphanol-propofol-ketamine anaesthesia provided complete analgesia with twice the rapid recovery of dogs without significant changes in HR, RR, BP, SpO2 during surgery. Acepromazine-ketamine-thiopental anaesthesia accompanied by pronounced analgesia with a decrease in HR and BP. Xylazine-ketamine-thiopental anaesthesia, under apparent analgesia, led to hypotension (decreased HR, BP) and hypoxia (decreased RR, SpO2). The data obtained will optimize the selection of drugs' combinations for dogs' anaesthesia, taking into account the type of pain response.
