Innovations in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategies in Veterinary Biomedical Sciences: Addressing Infectious Diseases, Toxicological Challenges, and Parasitic Infections in Companion and Livestock Animals

OVERVIEW

The studies present a spectrum of veterinary biomedical and clinical issues, highlighting diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive strategies. The first study details a case of feline calicivirus infection in a Bengal cat, characterized by chronic stomatitis, rhinitis, and otitis, with a positive antigen test confirming the virus, although the patient ultimately did not survive; prevention through vaccination and cleanliness was emphasized. The second study investigates the antidiarrheal properties of shallot bulb infusion in mice, identifying a 1.25% concentration as most effective in reducing diarrhea by inhibiting intestinal peristalsis, suggesting further research to refine these findings. The third study reports a case of urolithiasis in a 10-year-old female Pomeranian mix, where cystotomy was performed to remove urinary bladder calculi, leading to recovery within 14 days post-surgery. The fourth study assesses the prevalence and management of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in Central Bangka Regency, revealing high prevalence rates in specific sub-districts and demonstrating effective recovery rates of 96.72% following comprehensive drug therapy and disinfection measures. Finally, the fifth study describes the surgical treatment of a prolapsed nictitating membrane (Cherry Eye) in an 11-year-old Beagle, with successful outcomes achieved through the Morgan Pocket method and supportive therapy including anti-inflammatory and topical treatments.
