Background and Aim: Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders in small ruminants limit production efficiency and productivity growth in the livestock sector, thereby directly preventing farmers from augmenting their income. This study aimed to provide detailed insight into the etiology, hematobiochemical parameters, and epidemiological risk factors of GI disorders in goats and to determine the pathology associated with the disorders. Materials and Methods: Over the period of 2018-2019, 500 goats in and around Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, were screened for GI disorders based on clinical signs. Blood samples from the control (n=10) and treatment (n=25) groups were collected for both hematological and serum biochemical alterations. Fecal examinations (n=220) were conducted for parasitic, bacterial, and virological assessments. Detailed necropsy and histopathological evaluations were conducted on 27 goats. Results: The GI disorder prevalence rate and mortality rate among the 500 goats analyzed were 44.4% and 12.27%, respectively. Chi-square analysis showed a significantly higher occurrence of GI disorders among the goats that were between 6 months and 1.5 years old (58.72%), were of the Ganjam breed (45.49%), had a poor body condition (71.11%), and were housed with an earthen floor (55.22%). The most common etiological risk factor observed was parasitic infection (65.45%), followed by bacterial (18.18%) and mixed infection (9.54%). Blood analysis showed neutrophilia and eosinophilia in infected goats, in addition to anemia; significant decreases in total protein, globulin, albumin, and glucose levels; and significant increases in aspartate transaminase and alanine aminotransferase levels. The major histopathological findings were infiltration of mononuclear cells and desquamation of the intestinal and ruminal mucosa. Conclusion: Stakeholders should focus not only on parasitic infections and other important etiological risk factors for GI disorders in goats but also on proper farming management practices to help enhance the income of farmers. The hematobiochemical alterations and pathomorphological changes reported in this study can be used by field veterinarians as guidelines for clinical evaluation and disease severity assessment.

German Shephered dogs of either sex with chronic recurrent pododermatitis with various degrees of clinical signs along with excerbation of pus presented at the Teaching Veterinary Clinical complex, C.V.Sc. and A.H., O.U.A.T. were selected for the present study. The culture and sensitivity test of the skin swab from the lesions of the affected dogs revealed the presence of four bacterial species namely Staphylococcus intermedius, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactia, Micrococcus leuteus with highest sensitivity to antibiotics namely piperacillin+tazobactam, clindamycin, amoxicillin+potassium clavulanate and mupirocin. There was reduced Hb concentration with leucocytosis, neutrophilia and lymphopenia in the affected animals; however the biochemical parameters of liver and kidney function test remained within the normal value. The treatment was done with piperacillin with tazobactam @ 40 mg/kg intravenously thrice daily for 7 days, clindamycin @ 11 mg/kg body weight twice daily orally for another 7 days continuously along with regular dressing and topical application of mupirocin which brought complete recovery by 21 days and dogs were quite alright with growth of hair at the affected parts by 28th day.
