Medicina Veterinaria Y Zootecnia

Anamnesis, es un término aplicado a la historia pasada de cualquier paciente (Animal), referida hacia la parte sintomática que se presenta en un caso particular de enfermedad. Consiste en un conjunto de preguntas y respuestas entre el técnico y la persona encargada del cuido de los animales. Dichas preguntas deberán estar dirigidas hacia las funciones orgánicas más manifiestas, requiriendo información sobre el apetito, sed, defecación, micción, rumia y lactancia; averiguar qué medidas fueron tomadas para tratar la afección; preguntar sobre casos anteriores tratados por el dueño o por un facultativo, ya que algunos síntomas pueden ser ocasionados por la terapéutica y no por una enfermedad determinada.

Este manual presenta una serie de casos donde la producción de rumiantes y su salud están comprometidas. En la práctica profesional, con frecuencia se observa que la incorrecta alimentación genera desajustes homeostáticos, por lo que se pretende que los estudiantes del ciclo profesionalizante de la licenciatura en Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia, de las asignaturas Prácticas de Temas Selectos de Profundización Disciplinaria: Alimentación de Bovinos y Alimentación de Pequeños Rumiantes, revisen cada problema bajo la metodología de Análisis Basado en el Estudio de Casos; con el firme propósito de que adquieran experiencia en el abordaje de estos casos clínicos, integren sus conocimientos de diferentes asignaturas y planteen las estrategias de alimentación y zootecnia pertinentes, para corregir de forma adecuada y expedita el problema planteado.

Digital dermatitis (DD) is an infectious bacterial disease affecting cattle feet. Footbaths are a common herd-level control method for DD; however, variations in product, concentration, and frequency of use complicate comparisons between protocols. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate all walk-through footbath protocols reported that determined efficacy for prevention and treatment of DD lesions in dairy cattle. An extensive literature search was conducted, including electronic databases and gray literature updated until March 2018. Studies identified included all liquid walk-through footbath protocols that were compared to other footbath protocols or no footbath. Only studies with treatment or prevention of DD lesions as an outcome were included. Literature search and subsequent screening identified 14 publications with 24 treatment comparisons and 24 prevention comparisons. Studies included mostly had low and/or unclear risks of bias. Descriptive analyses were performed according to prevention and treatment outcomes, with case and success definitions summarized as odds ratios (OR). A subsequent network meta-analysis was conducted of 11 studies, comparing 17 protocol comparisons for the prevention outcome and 10 studies comparing 19 protocol comparisons for the treatment outcome, using semi-informative priors in a Bayesian statistical framework. Results of a random effects Bayesian network meta-analysis indicated only 5% copper sulfate used at least 4 times/wk was superior to both no footbath (OR: 5.26; 95% CrI: 1.27-28.8) and a water placebo (OR: 9.47; 95% CrI: 1.03-85.8) in treatment of DD. No other protocol was associated with a reduction in DD, and there were no differences in pair-wise comparisons between any active treatments. Unfortunately, for both outcomes (treatment and prevention), small sample sizes (adjusted for clustering) limited the power to detect substantial differences between protocol effects. Thus, despite widespread use of footbaths, limited strength of evidence for use remains and standardized protocols with large sample sizes are needed to further investigate effectiveness of footbath protocols for control of DD. This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.

Today, she is a veterinary sonographer in Canoas, RS, Brazil. She also teaches online courses on veterinary ultrasound, and provides mentorship to veterinary sonographers in Brazil through an online program called Ultrasound Club, which is currently under expansion to become international (https://veterinaryultrasoundclub.com).

Minimal, mild and moderate distensions correspond to 0.5 ml/kg, 2 ml/kg, and 4 ml/kg, respectively. * These values are based on computed tomography (CT). The ureteral diameter observed on post-contrast CT scans measured up to 0.34 cm. * Maximal height (cutoff value) of the caudal pole in sagittal plane. Length is too variable and not significantly important for evaluation of adrenal gland alterations in dogs.

Xanthinuria is a very rare disease in cats. Its etiology may have a genetic origin or may be due to an iatrogenic xan- thine-dehydrogenase inhibition that finally results in urolithiasis. The present work reports two cases of xanthine uro- lithiasis in European Shorthair unrelated male and female cats. Both uroliths were analyzed by stereoscopic microsco- py, infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Besides the report of these two clinical cases, a detailed pathophysiologic review and some updated recommendations for diagnosis and treatment for this condition were done.
