The aim of this study was to improve visual acuity and esthetic correction in a short hair domestic cat with strabismus. A domestic short hair cat (1 year old, male) referred with visual deficit and progressively obvious strabismus. For recession surgery, medial rectus muscle was detached from the sclera after used suspensory suture. The muscle insertion was recessed 4 mm and sutured to sclera. In conclusion, strabismus can be caused to visual deficy and treated succesfully by recession surgery in cats.
The purpose of the study reported here was to determine echocardiographic findings in naturally heartworm-infected dogs, and evaluate these findings to use in the diagnosis of adult worms in the pulmonary artery. Sixteen male dogs (8.8%) of the 180 dogs in our study, weighing 7.5-42.0 kg, ranging in age from 1 to 8 years, were determined to be positive for Dirofilaria immitis according to the results of membrane filtration and antigen ELISA tests. Dogs identified with adult heartworms in their blood were evaluated by parasitological. The mean worm burden in infected dogs was 4730 ± 5479 (min: ...Daha fazlası
This current work aims to assess the efficacy and tolerability of trabeculectomy procedure for the management of congenital glaucoma in two cats. Filtration surgery was performed using a limbus-based approach, and flap was raised smoothly to nearly limbus on sclera. Sclera-corneal trabecular block was removed both with surgical knife and microsurgery scissors. Successful result was defined as resolution of leakage with no need for additional surgery, together with maintaining intraocular pressure in the range of 5-21 mmHg with anti-glaucoma medications. In conclusion, trabeculectomy decreased ...Daha fazlası
The aim of this study was to investigate the some trace mineral values on hoof in cows with hoof disease and comparison with healthy ones. Twenty-three Holstein dairy cows (hoof disease group (HD, 18 cases); control group (C, 5 cases) were studied. Determinations of Pb, Fe, Ni, Zn, Cd, Cu and Mn in the samples were carried out by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. Lead, Fe, Ni, Cd, Cu and Mn values were higher in group HD than group C, but just Pb, Ni, Cd, and Cu values were statistically significant. Zn value was lower significantly in group HD than group C.

Backround: Milk is produced at the cost of other metabolic processes in the body and high milk yield has been associated with lameness and claw lesions. Lameness has also been associated with a decrease in milk yield. In the past, claw disorders and lameness in dairy cattle have been an increasing problem of the modern dairy industry. Hoof trimming is performed to prevent hoof lesions and improve gait by correction and maintenance of the hoof symmetry and shape. Lameness caused by hoof disorders can be treated by correct hoof trimming. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that one- ...Daha fazlası
Bu çalışmada, sağlıklı tavşanlara topikal olarak uygulanan travoprost, timolol ve travoprost/timolol kombinasyonunungöz içi basıncı (GİB) üzerine etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Çalışma materyalini 42 adet sağlıklı Yeni Zelanda ırkı tavşanoluşturdu. Çalışma materyalini oluşturan tavşanlar üç gruba ayrıldı. Grup 1’de travoprost, Grup 2’de timolol ve Grup 3’detravoprost/timolol kombinasyonu topikal olarak uygulandı. Tüm gruplarda sağ gözler deney grubu olarak belirlendi ve ilaçuygulaması yapıldı. Travoprost ve travoprost/timolol gruplarına günde bir defa saat 08:00’de, timolol grubuna ise g ...Daha fazlası
The aim of this study was to report a new cause of cataract, namely snake bite induced cataract in a dog. A 3-year-old male mongrel dog was referred to our clinic for the assessment of cataract in both eyes. The dog was bitten by a snake nearly 4 months ago. A 40 dioptre acrylic lens with 13 mm haptics was implanted into the lens capsule. In the left eye, posterior synechia was detected in the temporal part of the iris, but decentration of the intraocular lens was not observed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of bilateral cataract caused by ophidism and treated by surgic ...Daha fazlası
The aim of this study were to report a case of unilateral spontaneous anterior lens luxation associated with retinal detachment and surgical removal in a common buzzard. An adult common buzzard (Buteo buteo) of unknown sex, free-fly was found unable to fly on a pasture during the day. In the left eye the lens was luxated into the anterior chamber. The luxated lens was removed from the anterior chamber by an irrigation/aspiration technique after corneal incision. During the follow-up period of 3 weeks no signs of glaucoma or any other complications was detected. This is the first case of sponta ...Daha fazlası
The aim of this study to present the cytogenetic approach in a case of uveodermatologic syndrome in a 18-months-old, male, Siberian Husky. This dog was referred with a history of vision impairment and bilateral redish eyes. Clinical examination confirmed depigmentation over the lips and mouth mucosal area. On ophthalmic examination there was bilateral dilated pupilla, depigmentation of the fundus with visionable choroidal vessels, posterior uveitis, and loss of vision. A presumptive diagnosis of uveodermatological syndrome was made. Complete blood counts and biochemical parameters were normal. ...Daha fazlası
