The dog was brought to Madras Veterinary College teaching hospital with a history of bloody vaginal discharge along with an enlarged and tensed abdomen for the past seven days. Initial diagnostic evaluation included Radiography, Abdominal ultrasonography, Vaginal exfoliative cytology, Laboratory and Physical examination. Complete blood count revealed anaemia accompanied with thrombocytopaenia, hence intraoperative whole blood transfusion was performed. On Laparotomy, uterus exteriorized and was surgically managed by OHE. Post operatively the animal was monitored and its blood parameters were evaluated. Post transfusion results were normal and the animal recovered successfully.PresentationItem Open Access Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) and Supercutaneous plating (SCP) techniques for tibial and radial diaphyseal fractures in dogs.(2020-02) Ashok Kumar Reddy, GV; Ayyappan, S; Pushkin Raj, H; Shafiuzama, M; TANUVASEight dogs presented with history of radial and tibial diaphyseal fractures presented to the small animal orthopaedic unit, Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital were selected for study. Radiographs of the fractured limb and contralateral limb were obtained for to determine the fracture type and for selection of implant. The fractures were stabilized using either of the two techniques i.e. minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and supercutaneous plating (SCP). The supercutaneous plating technique was used in two cases of tibial fractures and in one case of radial fracture. MIPO was used in three cases of three cases of and two cases of radial fractures. The fracture reduction and implant position was determined using fluoroscopy intraoperatively. Modified Robert Jones bandage was done to immobilize the limbs post-operatively. Fracturehealing was studied using sequential post-operative radiographs. The functional outcome in the present study was excellent to good. No post-operative complications have been encountered in the present study. The techniques, implants used and the post-operative results are discussed.ThesisItem Restricted PATELLAR GROOVE PROSTHESIS FOR PATELLAR LUXATION IN DOGS(2018) Vijayashankar, V; Arunprasad, A; Pushkin Raj, H; Nagarajan, K; TANUVASThe study conducted in dogs presented to the Small Animal Orthopaedic Unit of Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital with the history, clinical signs, orthopaedic and radiological evidences revealed 106 dogs affected with patellar luxation that were taken for the incidental studies for a period of one year. The most common breeds affected were Non-descriptive breed, Spitz, Labrador retriever, Pug, Terrier and German Shepherd. Male dogs were found to be affected more and the incidence was found to be more in dogs less than one year of age and the incidence of unilateral medial patellar luxation was more than the bilateral patellar luxation. Dogs with minimal or asymptomatic lameness and Poor owner compliance for surgery were treated conservatively with NSAIDs for pain relief and rehabilitation. 12 cases which did not respond to conservative treatment were selected for surgical treatment with owners’ acceptance. Among the selected animals for surgical treatment, five were Non- descriptive breed of dogs, three were Labrador retriever, two were Spitz, a Pug and Terrier each one. Eight dogs were males and four were females. The age ranged between 8 months to 3 years and their body weight ranged between 9 to 24 kgs. Based on the severity of conformational defects of femoro-patellar joint, depth of femoral-trochlear groove, tibial tuberosity deviation and osteoarthritic changes observed in the femoral trochlear sulcus, the selected dogs were assigned to two groups (n=6) irrespective of breed, age, sex.ArticleItem Open Access Standardizing the technique of radial, ulnar, musculocutaneous and median (RUMM) nerve block in dogs(2022) Asarudhin, A; Pushkin Raj, H; Nagarajan, L, et al.,; TANUVASThe aim of this study was to evaluate an ultrasound-guided technique and the anatomical basis for radial, ulnar, musculocutaneous and median (RUMM) nerve block in dogs. The study was conducted in two phases. In phase 1, cadaver dissection (using 4 cadavers) for anatomical landmarks and ultrasound study of the axillary region were used to design and to perform the US-guided RUMM block.ArticleItem Open Access SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF POLYARTHRITIS WITH LINCOMYCIN IN A CALF-A CASE REPORT(2010) Das, BC; Arun Prasad, A; Pushkin Raj, H; Justin William, B; Suresh Kumar, R; TANUVASSeptic or polyarthritis is the most common clinical condition that affects the joints in cattle. Incidence of lameness related to joint diseases in cattle is well documented. Infectious arthritis may result from localization of bacteria, viral, mycotic or mycoplasma in a joint. With the presence of pus in the joint cavity, the infectious arthritis is termed as septic, pyogenic or suppurative arthritis. Haematogenous origin of infectious arthritis is the most common disease encountered in young calves as joint ill or neonatal polyarthritis. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococci spp., Corynebacterium pyogenes, E. coli, and Salmonella spp. are the most frequently implicated organisms for causing infectious arthritis in cattle. The presence of fibrin deposits over the synovial membrane and articular cartilage decreases the nutritive effectiveness of synovial fluid and inhibits the diffusion of antibiotics used to treat septic arthritis (Bertone, 1996). Lincomycin is an antibacterial agent widely used to treat gram-positive aerobic and anaerobic infections that are resistant to the β-lactamase antibiotics (Spoo and Riviere, 1995). The successful treatment of arthritis and pedal osteomyelitis with lincomycin was reported by Pleviderleith (1988).ArticleItem Open Access SUCCESSFUL MANGEMENT OF POLYARTHRITIS WITH LINCOMYCIN IN A CALF-A CASE REPORT(2009) Das, BC; Arul Prasad, A; Pushkin Raj, H; Justin William, B; Suresh Kumar, R; TANUVASA 21 day old crossbred female calf weighing approximately 40 kg was brought to the large animal surgery out patient unit of Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital, Chennai, with the history of limping of both the fore limbs and non-weight bearing of the left hind limb for the past one week. Clinical examination revealed polyarthritic condition. On administration of lincomycin the calf showed successful clinical recovery from polyarthritis.ArticleItem Open Access Surgical management of aural haematoma by leather punch technique using carbon dioxide laser in a dog(2022-06) Kibson, S; Pushkin Raj, H; Gokulakrishnan, M, et al.,; TANUVASAn aural haematoma is a fluctuant, fluid filled swelling noticed on the concave surface of the pinna, which has a content of either blood or serum between the cartilage plates and the skin (Beteg et al., 2011). The occurrence of aural haematoma is due to frequent ear scratching secondary to otitis externa, trauma to the ear pinnae and violent head shaking due to the presence of ear mite infestation (MacPhail, 2016). In the present case, leather punch technique using CO2 laser was performed.ArticleItem Open Access SYNTHETIC CAPSULE TECHNIQUE FOR MANAGEMENT OF HIP DISLOCATION IN A BUFFALO CALF -A CASE REPORT(2009) Arun Prasad, A; Justin William, B; Pushkin Raj, H; Das, BC, et al.; TANUVASHip dislocation (coxofemoral luxation) is the second most common luxation in cattle and buffaloes. Though the condition occurs in all age groups, it is most frequent in 2 to 5 years old animals. The inherent instability of the hip joint in bovine due to shallowness of the acetabulum, the lack of prominence of the acetabular ring, presence of notches at its margin, small articular head of the femur and under development of supporting ligamentous structures of the joint predispose these animals to hip luxation (Singh and Tayal, 2002). Hip dislocation is associated with traumatic episodes and dystocia in adult cattle and falling in calves (Ducharme and Trostle, 2004). The luxation is generally craniodorsal, but cranioventral luxation or luxation in the adductor foramen is also seen (Tulleners and Nunamaker, 1987). Extra capsular stabilization is technique used for the treatment of chronic luxation in canines when there is no joint capsule available for capsulorraphy.ArticleItem Open Access Ultra sonographic assessment of wound healing in horses(2022) Rajasekar, S; Sivashankar, R; Pushkin Raj, H; Nagarajan, K; TANUVASThe present study was aimed to investigate the utility of collagen and silicone extracellular matrices embedded with autologous platelet rich plasma for cutaneous wound healing in horses by analysing the vascularity with the use of ultrasound imaging. The horses with cutaneous wound were randomly divided into two groups with six animals each. Assessment of vascularity by ultrasonography was studied for 0, 5, 15, 30 and 45th day of post treatment period. Vascularity assessment by power doppler ultrasound examination revealed median score value which was statistically significant on 30th and 45th day of treatment between group I and group II animals which exhibited proper and complete healing.
