Sparganosis in a Cat

Abstract— —A sparganum is an intermediate stage of certain pseudophyllidean tapeworms and is normally found in various species of fish and small vertebrates. This paper presents an unusual case of sparganosis in a cat, normally considered a definitive host of several genera of Pseudophyllidea. The animal was anorectic and lethargic, and a palpable mass was present in the abdomen. The mass was in the fundic portion of the stomach and protruded into the lumen. The overlying gastric mucosa had ulcerated areas. Histologically, the mass represented a fibrous connective tissue reaction with formation of septa. Sections of a parasite, a sparganum,? were within the compartments formed by the septa. Résurné—Le sparganum, forme larvaire de certains ténias pseudophyllidiens, se rencontre d'habitude chez diverses espèces de poissons et de petits vertérés. L'auteur décrit un cas, excetoinnel, dep sparganose chez le chat, animal normalement considéré comme hôte définitif de plusieurs genres de pseudophyllidiens L'animal atteint, dont l'état etait accompagné d'anorexie et de Iéthargie, prásentait une tumeur abdominale perceptible à la palpation. La tumeur, située dam la région du fundus, s'avançait dam la cavite gastrique. La muqueuse gastrique présentait des zones ulcéreuses. L'examen histologique a permis de constater que la tumeur représentait une réaction du tissu conjonctif fibreux, avec formation de septa. Les alvéoles constituées par ces septa renfermaient des sections d'un parasite, identifié comme sparganum. Zusammenfassung— —Ein Spaaganum ist ein Zwischenstadium bestimmter pseudophyllider Bandwurmer und wird normalerweise in verschiedenen Spezies von Fischen und kleinen Wirbeltieren gefunden. Diese Abhandlung beschreibt einen ungewohnlichee Fall von Sparganosis einer Katze, die normalerweise als Wirtstier verschiedener Genera von Pseudophylliden angesehen wird. Das Tier war anorektisch und lethargisch, und im Abdomen war eine fuhlbare Masse vorhanden. Diese Masse befand sich im Fundus des Magens und ragte in das Lumen hinein. Die daruberliegnde Magenschleimhaut hatte ulcerierte Gebiete. Histologisch stellte die Masse eine fasrige Bindegewebsreaktion mit Bildung von Septa dar. Teile eines Parasiten, eines Sparganum, befanden sich in den von den Septa gebildeten Raumen.     

Isolation and Identification of Trichomonas foetus Causing Chronic Diarrhea in Cat

To further identify a new strain of Trichomonad isolated from the feces of a cat with chronic diarrhea, isolation and cultivation, morphological observation and gene homology analysis of 18S rRNA of the Trichomonad were accomplished in this study. Morphological observation showed that the Trichomonas was shaped pear or spindle, with 3 anterior flagella and 1 posterior flagella. The results of phylogenetic tree construction showed that Trichomonas isolated in this study is Trichomonas foetus, which is in the same evolutionary branch and is closely related to the sequence MH400076.1 in GenBank with 99% sequence similarity. Based on the above identification results, this Trichomonas isolated from cats with long-term chronic diarrhea is T. foetus.     

猫源胎儿三毛滴虫的形态学观察及分子鉴定

旨在进一步鉴定从1例长期慢性腹泻猫粪便中新分离到的1株毛滴虫,分别对其进行了分离与体外培养、形态学观察及18S rRNA基因序列相似性分析。形态学观察结果显示,分离株毛滴虫呈梨形或纺锤形,且具有3根前鞭毛和1根后鞭毛,为胎儿三毛滴虫形态结构。18S rRNA基因序列与GenBank中三毛滴虫基因序列比对及系统进化树结果显示,分离的猫源毛滴虫序列与胎儿三毛滴虫MH400076.1处于同一分支,且相似性达到了99%。综合判定,从患有长期慢性腹泻猫的粪便中分离到的毛滴虫为胎儿三毛滴虫。     

Nutritional Management of Idiopathic Chronic Colitis in the Dog

Idiopathic chronic colitis was diagnosed in 13 dogs. Owners sought veterinary care because of semiformed to liquid feces, fresh blood and/or mucus in the feces, tenesmus, increased frequency of defecation, vomiting, weight loss, and flatulence in their dogs. A lymphocytic, plasmacytic infiltration in the colonic lamina propria was found on colonic biopsy specimens. Signs resolved in all 13 dogs after they were fed a low residue, easily assimilated, relatively hypoallergenic diet. In 11 dogs, two commercial diets not previously fed to these dogs were successfully substituted for the initial test diet, without causing recurrence of signs. Only two of these 11 dogs subsequently tolerated a switch to diets that had been fed at the time of onset of signs of colitis. All 13 dogs have been successfully managed from 2 months to 28 months following the initiation of dietary therapy. The results of these dietary challenges strongly suggest a dietary role in the pathogenesis of this disorder, and also illustrate the importance of dietary therapy in the management of idiopathic chronic colitis.     

Nocardial Pleuritis in a Cat

A seven year old himalayan x siamese cat was presented to the Ontario Veterinary College Teaching Hospital with severe peracute respiratory signs. A diagnosis of nocardial pleuritis was made on the basis of clinical findings, radiology and bacteriology examination of the thoracic exudate. Combined surgical and chemotherapeutic measures for three weeks and further chemotherapy at home for two weeks proved to be a successful treatment regime.     

Essential Thrombocythemia in a Cat

The diagnosis of essential thrombocythemia in a cat was made by fulfilling the five applicable criteria set forth by the Polycythemia Vera Study Group for use in humans. The criteria were 1) a platelet count persistently above 600,000/microL, 2) a normal initial hematocrit that did not rise in response to iron therapy, 3) normal serum iron concentration, 4) absence of collagen fibrosis of the bone marrow, and 5) no cause for reactive thrombocytosis. In addition, normal thrombopoietin concentrations and splenic hypofunction were demonstrated. Melphalan was not effective in decreasing the platelet count and the cat died of sepsis.     

Generalized Osteosclerosis in a Cat

A 12-year-old, neutered male, domestic long-hair cat was evaluated for a 6-month history of inspiratory stertor and epiphora. In computed tomography of the skull and pelvis, and radiographs of the thorax, right femur and stifle there was generalized osteosclerosis, with obliteration of the nasal turbinates and nasolacrimal duct obstruction. The cat also had a large fibrosarcoma involving the right pelvic limb. Osteosclerosis is a rare disorder that is poorly understood but has been described in several species. Various manifestations, potential causes, and radiologic findings of osteosclerosis are discussed.     

Hemifacial Microsomia in a Cat

A 7‐month‐old domestic medium hair cat presented with facial asymmetry affecting the bony and soft tissue structures of the right side of the head including the maxilla, nose, eye and pinna of the ear. Additionally, neurological dysfunction of the facial and vestibulocochlear nerves on the affected side was present. A congenital malformation affecting the first and second embryologic pharyngeal arches was suspected. This is the first case of hemifacial microsomia of likely congenital origin reported in a cat.     

Granulocytic Leukemia in a Cat

Abstract— Granulocytic leukemia was diagnosed in a 41/2-yr-old, male domestic cat that died following an acute illness characterized by malaise, anorexia, anemia, very high white blood cell count, palpable lymphadenopathy, development of subcutaneous leukemic nodules, and terminal neurologic signs. Leukemic involvement of liver and spleen were found post mortem.

Bei der Sektion fanden sich leukämische Veränderungen in der Milz und Leber.     

Traumatic Atlanto-Occipital Luxation in a Cat

Traumatic atlanto-occipital luxation was diagnosed in a cat that presented with right hemiparesis. The luxation was reduced by manipulation, and the head and neck immobilized for eight weeks with a splint formed from aluminum rod. Clinical neurologic recovery was complete.
