Glasser's disease is an infectious and acute disease seen in pig after weaning, which is characterized by fibrinous polysterositis, arthritis and meningoencephalitis. A case of 3 month old piglet breed "Chwanche" (local) was presented to Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH), Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS), Paklihawa Campus which chief complain of constipation since three day. Piglet was admitted on VTH and physical and clinical examination was done and heart rate, respiratory rate and temperature were 130/min, 60/min and 106°F respectively. Auscultations abdomen revealed burble sound. First phase treatment was done and further examination was started with hematology. PCV and WBC count were 38% and (28×10 3 /µl) but after five hours the pig was died and postmortem examination was done. Necropsy findings reveals severe polyserositis, fibrinous covering around the lungs and heart, Swollen liver with fibrinous deposition and congested intestinal epithelium. Sever polyserositis indicates that this case is a glasser`s disease.
Caecum impaction is a condition, caused by poor dentition, a sudden change in food, parasitism, and coarse roughages in which caecum remains impacted with indigestible food mass resulting in colic along with depression and anorexia. A 10-month, indigenous Terai mixed breed, male goat having weight 15 Kg was brought to Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Paklihawa, Province Number 5, Nepal, with complaints of anorexia, abdominal swelling, history of excessive wheat flour feeding, and no faecal discharge for two days. Temperature, heart rate, and respiration rate were 102.2oF, 130/minute, and 28/minute respectively. On physical examination, a heterogeneous rod-shaped mass was felt in the right caudal abdomen and abdominal ultrasonography revealed mixed echoism pattern in the lumen of caecum indicating the presence of a foreign body in the caecal region. Laparotomy parallel to the last rib on right paralumbar fossa followed by typhlotomy were performed. Semi-digested hard faeces were milked out manually through caecum and incision was corrected properly. The goat was kept under observation with post-operative care for seven days till the complete recovery. Thus, this case study described a rare case of caecum impaction due to semi-digested feeding particles in goat.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
