    STUDIES ON APPLICATION OF NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY FOR NAVAL ILL / JOINT ILL IN CALVES
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2018-07) GAVKAR MANDAR YESHWANT; Dr. B. N. NAGARAJA
    The studies on application of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for joint ill in calves was carried out in calves found to be suffering from joint ill presented to the Department of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology, Veterinary College Hebbal, Bangalore. Six clinical cases of calves were subjected to the NPWT to check the outcome. The gross changes, clinical signs, haematological and biochemical parameters and the radiographic findings were recorded before the treatment and on 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day after the treatment. A significant variation in the rectal temperature was noticed in all the cases. Among the biochemical p

    The studies on application of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for joint ill in calves was carried out in calves found to be suffering from joint ill presented to the Department of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology, Veterinary College Hebbal, Bangalore. Six clinical cases of calves were subjected to the NPWT to check the outcome. The gross changes, clinical signs, haematological and biochemical parameters and the radiographic findings were recorded before the treatment and on 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day after the treatment. A significant variation in the rectal temperature was noticed in all the cases. Among the biochemical parameters only alkaline phosphatase showed significant variation. A significant difference was observed in the synovial fluid/ joint discharge total protein, total leucocyte count, polymorphonuclear cells count and pH between 0th day and 28th day. There was a significant variation in the clinical parameters like joint diameter, ROM and lameness pattern, which showed gradual improvement after the treatment. The most sensitive antibiotic was found to be Ceftriaxone and sulbactum in majority of the cases. The radiographic evaluation revealed changes like, soft tissue swelling, severe arthritis, increased intra-articular spaces, air pockets and in chronic cases ankyloses. The application of NPWT was found to be an effective method in the treatment of joint ill, it provided better healing early recovery from the disease by reducing the swelling and oedema, continuous removal of the joint discharge and increased blood supply to the joint. The animals were able to support with the affected limbs after the treatment.
