It is caused by excessive accumulation of fat within the liver due to a negative energy bal- ance. A Holstein Friesian cross breed cow aged seven years was brought to Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital with the history of inappetance, wasting and recurrent mastitis. The animal has calved one month back. Clinical examination of cattle revealed normal vital signs but change in milk consistency, swelling of right fore and hindquarter of the udder, fruity odour in the breath, decreased ruminal motility and suspended rumination was noticed. Haematological, serum biochemical profile and urine ketone bodies were evaluated. Haematological parameters found to be normal. Serum bio- chemical profile showed an elevated hepatic enzymes, decreased glucose, protein, albumin and cho- lesterol. Urine analysis showed presence of ketone bodies in rothera’s test. Liver biopsy was taken for histopathology. Ultrasonography showed increased echogenicity of the liver parenchyma. The case was tentatively diagnosed as secondary ketosis due to fatty liver syndrome and was treated with hypertonic dextrose, oral propylene glycol, supplementation therapy with B complex vitamins, oral cud trans- plantation and also treated for mastitis based on Antibiotic Sensitivity Test (ABST). Histopathology revealed fatty infiltration of liver. Following treatment clinical improvement was noticed on successive days and animal recovered uneventfully.OtherItem Open Access Ultrasonographic and Endocrinological Characterization of Mid-Cycle Oestrus in Crossbred Cattle(TANUVAS, 2014-12) Satheshkumar, S.; Raj, H.
