A 2-year-old domestic cat named Simba presented with respiratory symptoms, including coughing and nasal discharge containing serous exudate. Additionally, the cat exhibited abdominal enlargement. During the physical examination, palpation of the trachea triggered a coughing reflex, and the cat appeared to be attempting to expel something from its throat. Fecal examination revealed the presence of Toxocara sp. and Ancylostoma sp. eggs. A routine hematology test showed leukocytosis, lymphocytosis, monocytosis, granulocytopenia. The cat was diagnosed with pneumonia caused by the migration of Toxocara sp. and Ancylostoma sp. larvae.Treatment was given with Pyrantel pamoate (Combantrin®) 125 mg/tab with a dose of 40 mg (1/3 tab) orally once a week for two weeks, repeating depending on the severity, Amoxyclav antibiotic 625 mg/tab with a dose of 64 mg (1/10) orally twice a day for 7 days, and fish oil (Tung-hai Fish Liver Oil®) orally one soft gel per day for 7 days. An evaluation on the seventh day showed that the cat’s condition had improved.

Therefore, early identification and analysis of disease causes are
essential, particularly through preliminary examinations such as
antibody titer measurement and anatomical pathology observation. In
addition, laboratory testing for parasites, viruses, and bacteria plays
a crucial role in establishing an accurate diagnosis and supporting
effective treatment decisions. The case animal in this report is a white
broiler chicken exhibiting clinical signs of illness. The chicken was
sourced from a poultry farm located in Cianjur Regency and had
shown symptoms of disease for four consecutive days. Clinical signs
observed included lethargy, reduced appetite, weight loss, dull
plumage, swelling, and occasional abnormal respiratory sounds
(gurgling or "ngorok"). The diagnostic approach included serological
testing to assess the immune response and anatomical pathology
examination. Based on the clinical presentation, a differential
diagnosis of Newcastle Disease was considered.

Studi Kasus : Identifikasi Toxocara cati pada Kucing di Rumah Sakit Hewan Universitas Hasanuddin

Toxocariasis is a zoonotic disease caused by infection with the parasitic worm Toxocara cati, which commonly infects cats and can be transmitted to humans. This study aimed to identify the presence of T. cati in cats through macroscopic and microscopic examination of fecal samples. Samples were collected from post-operative cats exhibiting clinical signs such as lethargy and decreased appetite, with adult worms observed in their feces. Examination was conducted using the flotation method with a saturated salt solution. The results revealed the presence of adult T. cati worms with distinct morphological features, including cervical alae on the anterior end and a curved posterior end. Additionally, round-shaped eggs with thick, rough brownish walls were identified. These findings highlight the importance of routine parasitological examinations and regular deworming to prevent the spread of toxocariasis. Maintaining environmental hygiene and feed quality also plays a crucial role in controlling this disease.

Studi Kasus: Penanganan Prolapsus Ani dengan Enterektomi pada Kucing Domestik di Rumah Sakit Hewan Jawa Barat

Domestic cats are one of the types of animals commonly kept as pets
in Indonesia. Stray cats are a type of domestic cat that can also be
kept as pets because they are capable of socializing with humans.
However, due to their behavioral patterns and the lack of proper pet
management, stray cats are often exposed to diseases and can become
carriers for other cats. On September 9, 2024, a male cat named Kucil,
approximately 4 months old and weighing around 2 kg, was brought
to the West Java Provincial Animal Hospital with a complaint of a
mass protruding from the anus. The purpose of this case study is to
determine the diagnosis and management of prolapsed rectum in
domestic cats. The diagnostic methods used included anamnesis,
physical examination, and supporting tests, such as blood hematology.
The physical examination revealed a body temperature of 38.5°C and
a capillary refill time (CRT) of less than 2 seconds. Upon performing
an inspection of the anus, a mass was found protruding through the
anus, leading to the diagnosis of prolapsed rectum in Kucil. The
treatment involved an enterectomy or surgical removal of the intestine
that had prolapsed from the anus. Post-operative therapy included
antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and vitamins
