ThesisItem Open Access COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON ASCITES IN DOGS(SRI VENKATESWARA VETERINARY UNIVERSITY TIRUPATI - 517 502. (A.P.) INDIA, 2017-12) SREEHARI, M; SURESH KUMAR, R.V(MAJOR); VEENA, P; JAGAPATHI RAMAYYA, PABSTRACT: The present investigation entitled “Comprehensive study on ascites in dogs” was carried out to study comprehensive information on ascites in dogs. 18 dogs of either sex were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria divided into three groups of six animals each in one group. Based on clinical and ultrasonographic examination cases were allotted. Group I animals were given medical treatment group II animals received medical treatment and underwent abdominocentesis. Group III animals received medical treatment, abdominocentesis and dialysis procedures. In all the groups various clinical symptoms, changes in physiological, biochemical and haematological parameters were studied. Radiological, ultrasonographic and peritoneal fluid analysis were carried out to differentiate the possible etiological agent for appropriate therapy. Incidence was found to be more in males compared to females. Clinical symptoms like anorexia, weight loss, abdominal distension, lethargy, vomitions were recorded in all the three groups. Medical treatment was carried out using antiemetics, diuretics, antibiotics, protein supplement, hepatoprotective drugs as supportive therapy. Abdominocentesis was adopted in group II in addition to medical treatment whereas abdominocentesis and peritoneal dialysis was adopted in group III. No significant changes were noticed in physiological parameters except fluctuations in respiratory rate and depth. Girth circumference in cm ranged from 20 to 40. Sinus arrhythmias, Tall R-wave and increased R-R interval were few ECG findings recorded in the study. Peritoneal fluid collected from samples showed exudate, moderate exudate and transudate nature. Ground glass appearance was a prominent radiographic feature in all the groups however cardiomegaly, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly were also observed. Ultrasonographic features all the groups included, hyper-echoic floating internal organs in anechoic fluid which were useful in differentiating causative agents and aided in fluid collection. Peritoneal fluid cytological smears examination of samples in the present study revealed more no of neutrophils, mesothelial cells and few erythrocytes. Biochemical and haematological values showed non-significant either increase or decrease in values at different periods of observation. Though satisfactory result was obtained in group I further recurrence was noticed. Abdominocentesis and peritoneal dialysis group II and III revealed good results without much accumulation. One animal in group II and III were reported to be dead. Based on the above study it is concluded that clinical and ultrasonographic examination are essential to differentiate conditions from ascites. Treatment based on etiological agent is better for obtaining good results.ThesisItem Open Access COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON YOKE GALL AND RELATED AFFECTIONS IN CATTLE(SRI VENKATESWARA VETERINARY UNIVERSITY TIRUPATI - 517 502. (A.P.) INDIA, 2007-03) RAVANA REDDY, P; SURESH KUMAR, R.V(MAJOR); HARAG0PAL, V; CHANDRASEKHARA RAO, T.SABSTRACT: The study dealt with incidence of yoke gall and related affections in cattle in Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh over a period of six months collected from 18 veterinary institutions and surrounding villages. Non-descriptive cattle recorded highest rate of incidence (56.48%) followed by Ongole cattle (43.52%) and no cases were recorded in crossbred cattle. Young cattle within the age group of 2-6 years showed maximum occurrence (63.89%) followed by 6-10 years (27.78%) and above 10 years (8.33%). Incidence of yoke gall and related affections were more on left side (47.22%) than right side (44.45%) and on top (8.33%). In yoke gall and related affections the highest number of cases recorded were yoke gall (46.30%) followed by yoke ulcer (25.92%), yoke abscess (17.60%), yoke cyst (3.70%), yoke tumor (3.70%) and wounds at neck region (2.78%). The changes in haematological and biochemical parameters were due to the stress, the animal was undergoing either during trcatmcnt/sugery. Histopathology of yoke gall and related affections revealed subepidermal congestion, mild oedema and moderate infiltration of inflammatory cells, formation of granulomatous nodule in dermis and few cases showed presence of numerous squamous cell carcinoma lesions. Some cases showed severe necrosis, oedema in sub-dermal layer and infiltration of neutrophils. Yoke gall and related affections were treated based on diagnosis with topical application of counter irritants, fomentation, incision, drainage and irrigation of the cavity with antiseptics and surgical treatment under local anesthesia with post operative dressing and antibiotic therapy appropriately. Gentamicin followed by streptomycin were the suitable antibiotics in treating yoke gall and related affections.ThesisItem Open Access DESIGNING AND EVALUATON OF ARTIFICIAL LIMB PROSTHESES IN DOGS(SRI VENKATESWARA VETERINARY UNIVERSITY TIRUPATI - 517 502. (A.P.) INDIA, 2018) THENNAVAN, A; SURESH KUMAR, R.V(MAJOR); VEENA, P; JAGAPATHI RAMAYYA, PABSTRACT: The present study was conducted on “Designing and evaluation of artificial limb prostheses in dogs”. Among a total of 1001 canine cases referred to Department of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology, College of Veterinary Science, Tirupati from January to December 2017, 202 cases were related to orthopaedic ailments wherein, 14 cases were not suitable for surgical management and required amputation as a salvage procedure. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria six animals were utilized for the study. Detailed clinical, orthopaedic and neurological examinations were carried out on the cases included in the study. The animals had crush injuries with loss of muscle, bone, cutaneous tissue, open wound and neoplasia. In all the animals, amputation or disarticulation was performed as per the case. Biochemical parameters like calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase were estimated at 0, 7, 14 and 21 days post surgery. The calcium and phosphorus values showed nonsignificant changes whereas, alkaline phosphatase levels showed significant change in the present study. Skiagrams taken provided information about types of fractures, bones involved and level to which amputation or disarticulation to be performed. After amputation or disarticulation measurements were taken on contralateral limb to prepare prosthetic limb. Various steps like measurement recording, contouring of the angulation, identification of pressure points, negative casting, filling the cast, moulding with HDPE pipe, padding with ethylene foam and preparation of edges with Velcro and belt were carried out. The prepared prosthetic limbs were applied to the animals after complete healing. Outcome of the prosthetic limb usage was characterized by its acceptance, functioning, loosening or break of the material. The owners were advised to practice the adaptation of the prosthetic limb to the animal at regular interval for better outcomeThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON FENTANYL PREMEDICATION ON CERTAIN ANAESTHETIC COMBINATIONS IN CANINES(SRI VENKATESWARA VETERINARY UNIVERSITY TIRUPATI - 517 502. (A.P.) INDIA, 2006-02) KRISHNA VENI, L; SURESH KUMAR, R.V(MAJOR); SREENU, MAKKENA; SRILATHA, Ch.ABSTRACT: The present study was conducted on twelve animals to study the effect of fentanyl premedication on different anaesthetic combinations in bitches which were divided into two groups of six animals in each group. Fentanyl was administered in both the groups @ 2 mdkg body weight intravenously. Later xylazine and thiopentone sodium (2.5%) were given intravenously at the dose rate of 1 mg and 10 mg/kg body weight respectively in group I. In group I1 propofol and thiopentone sodium (2.5%) were administered intravenously at the dose rate of 5 mg and 10 mgkg body weight, respectively. Induction was smooth and excellent without any struggling in both the groups. Good muscle relaxation and early abolishing of all reflexes were noticed in group I1 animals compared to group I. The recovery was smooth and uneventful without any post anaesthetic complications in both the groups, however it was early in group 11.Rectal temperature showed nonsignificant fall upto 60 min in both the groups and were within normal range. Respiratory rates showed a nonsignificant fall following drug administration in both the groups through out the observation period. Pulse rates showed a significant fall in both the groups throughout the observation period, upto 2 hrs in group I and upto 4 hrs in group 11. SPOz values were within normal physiological range during the entire period of observation. The haematological parameters like TEC, TLC and Hb values did not show any significant changes, however they fluctuated within the normal range. The packed cell volume values in group I showed a significant fall upto 2 hrs after drug administration whereas group I1 animals recorded a significant rise at 60 minutes observation period. Changes in ALT, AST, glucose and protein were not statistically significant and fluctuated within the normal physiological range in both the groups.ThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON PREEMPTIVE ANALGESIC EFFECTS ON AMPUTATION OF HORN IN CATTLE(SRI VENKATESWARA VETERINARY UNIVERSITY TIRUPATI - 517 502. (A.P.) INDIA, 2006-04) PENCHALAIAH, P; SURESH KUMAR, R.V(MAJOR); HARA GOPAL, V; SRILATH, ChABSTRACT: Twelve cattle undergoing amputation of horn procedures were randomly divided in to two groups. In group I animals surgery was performed following standard procedure and in group I1 meloxicam was administered at the dose rate of 0.2 mg per kilo gram body weight intravenously 30 minutes before anesthesia and surgery. Preemptive analgesic effects were evaluated by physiological, haematological, pulse oxymetric, and biochemical studies. Meloxicam did not alter rectal temperature and pulse rate values in the present study. Though the respiratory rates showed the significant rise in both the groups these were within the normal physiological range. Pulse oxymetric studies revealed no sigruficant changes in Sp02values in both the groups. Total erythrocyte values showed sigmficant reduction in group I whereas the changes were not sigruficant in meloxicam treated group. Both the groups showed leukocytosis, neutrophilia, and lymphocytopenia, more sigruficantly in group I compared to group 11. Haemoglobin and packed cell volume values were sigruficantly reduced in group I compared to group LI. Biochemical parameters like cortisol, C-reactive protein and glucose were sigruficantly increased in group I where as meloxicam treated animals showed non sigruficant fluctuations. In conclusion meloxicam a selective COX-2 Inhibitor could be used satisfactorily as a preemptive analgesic to reduce post operative pain in amputation of horn in cattle.
