    CLINICO-THERAPEUTIC STUDIES ON CANINE DIABETES MELLITUS.
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2019-07-23) Kapoor, Smriti; Wadhwa, Des Raj
    The study was conducted on 12 diabetic dogs presented at Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, CSKHPKV, Palampur (H.P.) between February 2018 and March 2019. On the basis of history, clinical examination and laboratory findings, dogs affected with diabetes were subjected to haemato-biochemical examinations. The overall incidence of the disease was 0.99% (12/1212) in the cases presented to College Veterinary Clinics. Maximum no. of cases (7/12) were recorded in old dogs (>5 years) and in winter season (8/12). The prominent clinical signs observed in diabetic dogs were polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, weight loss and lethargy. The mean fasting blood glucose (FBG) in diabetic dogs at the time of diagnosis was 403.08±31.99 mg/dl. Out of 12 dogs, 8 were having blood glucose level above 350 mg/dl and 4 dogs were having fasting blood glucose level below 350 mg/dl. The mean activities of aspartate amino transferase, alanine transferase and alkaline phosphatase were markedly higher in diabetic dogs. The mean cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, amylase and lipase level were markedly increased in diabetic dogs as compared to healthy dogs. Mineral and electrolyte profile revealed hypercalcaemia in diabetic dogs. Urine examination revealed hypersthenuria, glycosuria, variable ketonuria and leucocytes in urine samples of diabetic dogs. Anion gap was increased along with decreased blood pH and base excess which indicated metabolic acidosis. Oral hypoglycemics were not found to be effective in diabetes management in dogs. Insulin treatment was given @0.5 IU/kg bwt in dogs with mean fasting blood glucose >350 mg/dl (group I) and @0.25 IU/kg bwt in dogs with mean fasting blood glucose <350 mg/dl (group II) . Adjustments in the initial insulin dose were made in individual animals after generating serial blood glucose curve. Insulin treatment showed reduction in overt clinical signs of DM (polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, weight loss and lethargy), fall in FBG (63.32 percent in group I and 44.6 percent in group II) and improvement in haemato-biochemical parameters, at the end of 4 weeks treatment. Insulin therapy along with dietary modification showed marked therapeutic efficacy and improvement in overall quality of life in diabetic dogs.

    CLINICO-THERAPEUTIC STUDIES ON HAEMOPROTOZOAN AND RICKETTESIAL DISEASES OF DOGS.
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2019-07-22) Kalia, Rishabh; Wadhwa, Desh Raj
    The present investigation was aimed to study the clinical, haemato-biochemical and therapeutic aspect of haemoprotozoan and rickettesial diseases of dogs. The study was conducted on 1747 dogs presented to Teaching Veterinary Clinical Comple x, Palampur from November 2017 to May 2019. On the basis of history, clin ical signs and physical e xa mination, 259 dogs were screened using various parasitological or molecular techniques and among them, 66 dogs were found to be positive for either haemoprotozoan or rickettesial diseases, thus representing an overall incidence of 3.78%. Out of 66 affected dogs, 25 (37.88%) suffered from haemoprotozoan diseases consisting of B. gibsoni (n= 21), B. canis (n=3) and H. canis (n=1) and 41 (62.12%) suffered from rickettesial diseases and all were of ehrlichiosis. These diseases were more prevalent in warm and humid seasons (81.82%, summer and monsoon), in adult dogs (42.42%, 1-5 years of age) and in male dogs (81.82%). Ge rman Shepherd and Labrador (18.18 % each) were the most common affected breeds. Major clin ical signs were fever, inappetence, vomiting, melena, pale mucous membranes, dark yellow urine, dullness and depression, epistaxis, dehydration and lymph node enlargement. Neurological signs like fits, chorea etc., skin lesions like petechiae, ocular signs like eye discharge, hyphema, scleral bleeding etc. and ascites were less commonly observed. Haematology revealed macrocytic hypochromic anaemia and thrombocytopenia. Biochemically, hypoglycemia, hypoproteinemia and raised BUN, ALP and total bilirubin values were observed. Splenomegaly, pleural effusion, evident bronchial pattern, hepatitis, decreased vascularity of renal cortex and medulla, cystitis and cholecystitis were main radiographic and/or ultrasonographic findings. Babesia affected dogs were randomly divided into 4 groups for treatment including supportive therapy. Group I (n= 8) were treated with Imidocarb dipropionate which led to recovery in 62.5% dogs. Group II (n= 7) were treated with combination of Imidocarb dipropionate with Do xycycline which led to recovery in 71.4% dogs. Group III (n= 5) were t reated with Do xycycline which led to recovery in 40% dogs and Group IV (n=4) dogs were treated with Do xycycline and Clindamycin which led to recovery in 50% of dogs. Ehrlichia affected dogs were also randomly divided into 4 groups for treatment including supportive therapy. Group I (n=12) were treated with Do xycycline and recovery in 66.66% dogs was observed. Group II (n=8) were t reated with combination of Do xycycline and Oxytetracycline and recovery in 87.5% dogs was observed. Group III (n=12) were treated with combination of Do xycycline and Imidocarb and recovery in 66.66% dogs was observed and Group IV (n=9) were treated with combination of Do xycycline and Clindamycin and recovery in 55.5% dogs was observed. It was concluded that combination of Imidocarb dipropionate and Do xycycline along with supportive therapy was most efficacious in treating babesiosis whereas combination of Do xycycline and Oxytetracycline along with supportive therapy was most efficacious in treating ehrlichiosis.

    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2019-07-23) Chauhan, Samar; Wadhwa, Des Raj
    The present investigation was aimed to study the clinical, haemato-biochemical and therapeutic aspect of haemoprotozoan and rickettsial diseases of cattle. The study was conducted on 918 cattle presented to Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Palampur from November 2017 to May 2019. On the basis of history, clinical signs and physical examination, 120 cattle were screened using parasitological techniques and among them, 39 cattle were found positive for either haemoprotozoan or rickettsial diseases and co-infections, thus representing an overall incidence of 4.25%. Out of 39 affected cattle, 29 (74.36%) suffered from single infection of haemoprotozoan diseases consisting of B. bigemina (n=6) and T. annulata (n=23), 7 (17.95%) suffered from rickettsial diseases all of which were of anaplasmosis and 3 (7.69%) suffered from co-infections of T. annulata and A. marginale. These diseases were more prevalent in humid seasons (53.85%, monsoon), in age group of 5-9 years (48.72%), in female cattle (79.48%) and in Jersey cross breds (43.59%). Major clinical signs observed were fever, anorexia, lymph node enlargement, pale & icteric mucous membranes and dehydration. Respiratory signs like nasal discharge, tachypnoea etc., ocular signs like ocular discharge, corneal opacity etc., coffee coloured urine, melena, incoordination in gait etc. were less commonly observed clinical signs. Haematology revealed macrocytic hypochromic anaemia. Biochemically, raised levels of ALT, ALP, AST, BUN, creatinine, total bilirubin along with hypoproteinemia and hyperglycemia were observed. Babesia affected cattle (n=6) were treated with Imidocarb dipropionate along with supportive therapy and recovery in 50.00% cattle was observed. Theileria affected cattle were randomly divided into 3 groups for treatment along with supportive therapy. Group I (n=8) were treated with Buparvaquone and recovery in 87.50% cattle was observed. Group II (n=8) were treated with Oxytetracycline and recovery in 75% cattle was observed. Group III (n=7) were treated with combination of Buparvaquone and Oxytetracycline and recovery in 100% cattle was observed. Anaplasma affected cattle (n=7) were treated with combination of Imidocarb and Oxytetracycline and recovery in 85.71% cattle was observed. Anaplasma and Theileria co-affected cattle (n=3) were treated with a combination of Buparvaquone and Oxytetracycline and recovery in two cattle was observed. It was concluded that combination of Buparvaquone and Oxytetracycline proved to be most efficacious in treating theileriosis and combination of Imidocarb with Oxytetracycline proved to be efficacious in treating Anaplasmosis.

    INVESTIGATIONS ON BOVINE CUTANEOUS PAPILLOMATOSIS
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2017-07-20) Sultan, Tahir; Wadhwa, Des Raj
    The present work was conducted with the objective to study the prevalence of Bovine Cutaneous Papillomatosis, clinical appraisal of affected animals, efficacy of different therapeutic measures and to formulate strategic therapy against bovine cutaneous papillomatosis. The prevalence of bovine papillomatosis was recorded as 6.52 per cent in a total of 429 animals screened. The disease was more prevalent in the age group of 1 to 3 years (58.89%). Crossbred cattle were mostly affected particularly Jersey cross cattle (72.22%). The incidence was highest in females (98.88%). The affected cattle were either heifers (41.57%) or in their first lactation (34.83%). Teats were affected in maximum cases (85.55%). Warts on other body parts were present in 28.88 per cent cases, which include warts on face, muzzle, periorbital area, neck, shoulder, ventral abdomen, perineal region, fore and hind limbs. Warts were mostly of moderate (37.77%) or mild severity (35.55%), upto 1 cm in size (86.66%) and cauliflower (35.55%), ricegrain (22.22%) or flat (12.22%) shaped. Most warts were sessile in nature (47.77%), rough surfaced (63.33%) and brown (36.66%), grey (22.22%) or black (21.11%) coloured. Histopathologically, the wart tissues were classified as Papilloma and Fibropapilloma. Combined use of Anthiomaline, Autohaemotherapy and Levamisole was more efficacious (72.22%) than combination of Autohaemotherapy and Levamisole (54.54%). Autogenous wart vaccination was effective in 75 per cent cases while Ivermectin was effective only in 20 per cent cases. On the basis of these observations, it is advised to use either combination of Anthiomaline, Autohaemotherapy and Levamisole or Autogenous wart vaccine for the treatment of bovine cutaneous papillomatosis.
