Canine parvovirosis, or viral haemorrhagic gastroenteritis, is a contagious infectious disease of canids that is characterized by gastrointestinal syndrome and mortality, especially in young puppies. Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV2) is the pathogen agent of disease, and it is considered antigenically distinct from CPV1, the etiological agent of a disease that causes neonatal mortality in puppies. The high rate of morbidity and mortality in young animals requires the use of specific prophylactic measures. Vaccination against canine parvovirosis is part of the common vaccination scheme; a live-attenuated vaccine is used. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the dynamics of anti-CPV antibodies as a result of vaccination, considering that CPV is extremely important in the sanitary management of dogs.

The aim of this paper was to find out the effects of diets with different levels of metabolizable energy (ME) and crude protein (CP) administered during the pre-lay period on the subsequent productive performances of the Lohmann Brown hybrid. A low ME diet (2,690 kcal/kg) and a high ME diet (2,820 kcal/kg were prepared, each one with two variants of CP levels: low (15%) and high (17%). These diets were applied from 15 to 22 weeks of age. From 23 weeks of age, all birds were fed a diet containing 2,700 kcal/kg and 15.6% protein. Egg rate was significantly higher in the high-protein-high-ME fed group. In the same group, the intensity of the yolk colour decreased and the level of total protein concentration in the albumen was higher. Other researched productive parameters (feed intake, egg mass, feed conversion rate) and egg properties (eggshell colour, eggshell breaking strength, Haugh units) were found not significantly modified by the experimental pre-lay feeding.

This paper aims to highlight the impairment of the renal and hepatic function in anticoagulant rodenticide poisonings. The study involves 40 cases taken from the archive of the Veterinary Emergency Hospital within the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Cluj-Napoca between 2017 - 2022, 7 cats and 33 dogs. This article collects important laboratory values, we elaborated a database to be able to diagnose, treat and evaluate the renal and hepatic status of these animals. For the hematology part a VetScan HM5 device was used, thrombocytopenia was found, the erythrocytes, haemoglobin and haematocrit had lower values. For the biochemistry part we used a PrimeVet device, we detected important changes in the level of glucose, lactate, total bilirubin, smaller changes in creatinine and urea. For the coagulation tests a Quickvet specialty analyser was used, the prothrombin time in 50% of the cases presented low values, 14% presented normal values, and in 36% had high values. In each case the partial thromboplastin activation time presented high values. We detected kidney insufficiency in 2 cats and 3 dogs, and liver problems in 2 cats and 8 dogs.

An 8 years old intact tomcat, was referred with urinary incontinence and polydipsia. After ultrasound examination, the patient was diagnosed with feline urologic syndrome and hydronephrosis. Acute urethral obstruction is the result of a physical or functional obstruction and can be life-threatening due to azotemia, hyperphosphatemia and hyperkalemia. Following the onset of obstruction, regardless of its nature, bilateral hydronephrosis can occur. Biochemistry revealed low serum sodium, serum albumin (ALB), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total proteins (TP) and glucose (GLU) were elevated. On further examination, by determining serum fructosamine concentration, stress hyperglycemia was excluded, and diabetes mellitus was diagnosed. This article brings valuable insights into the complex pathology of feline urologic syndrome, paving the way for enhanced clinical strategies and potential preventive measures.

This study aims to describe the morphological characteristics of the jackal skull. The jackal (Canis aureus) belongs to the Order Carnivora, Family Canidae, and is widespread in northern Africa and southern Europe. In Romania, the number of specimens of this species has dramatically increased in recent years because the jackal has no natural predators, and wolf specimens are rare. The skull features are valuable elements of species identification. Data on skull morphology in jackals in the specialized literature are few and lacking in detail. A skull from an adult specimen from the Anatomy discipline collection was used for the study. The following conclusions emerged: the external sagittal crest is very high; the paracondylar processes are attached to the tympanic bulla; the foramen lacerum is absent; the presence of 2-3 lesser palatine foramina, placed caudal to the greater palatine foramen; the supraorbital foramen is absent; on the medial face of the angular process there is a reduced fossa.

A 5 years old, Shar Pei intact female, presented with lethargy, progressive weight loss, pale mucous membrane and severe dehydration (7-10%). The patient was diagnosed with acute on chronic renal disease (ACKD), polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and non-regenerative anemia and was referred for hemodialysis. A central venous catheter was placed under light sedation. During central venous catheterization, the cardiac rhythm was monitored by ECG. A key factor for a favorable outcome of the procedure is to understand the correlation between central venous catheterization and cardiac electrical activity. ECG monitoring goal was to observe alterations in P-wave morphology, which reflects atrial depolarization, during central venous catheterization. By monitoring the P-wave variations with extensive care is possible to observe the valuable cardiovascular dynamics in the context of central venous catheterization, aiding clinicians in optimizing patient care and safety of the procedure.

In this study, we recorded and analysed electrocardiograms of different dog breeds. All the animals included in the study were healthy in terms of cardiac pathology. Upon analysing the obtained results, we found that Labrador Retrievers exhibited the highest P wave amplitude (0.40±0.05 mV). Regarding the R wave amplitude, high values were observed both in medium-sized breeds (Beagle – 1.70±0.16 mV) and large breeds (Rottweiler – 2.43±0.30 mV). As for the T wave amplitude, high values were observed in small breeds (Yorkshire Terrier – 0.24±0.14 mV) and medium-sized breeds (Cocker Spaniel – 0.24±0.14 mV), while large breeds (Labrador and Rottweiler) had the lowest values (0.21±0.14 mV). Regarding the duration of the main ECG components, it was observed that the P wave had the shortest duration (0.02±0.01 s) in Beagles and the longest duration (0.08±0.04 s) in Labrador Retrievers. The PR interval had the shortest duration (0.04±0.01 s) in Beagles and the longest duration (0.10±0.02 s) in Rottweilers. The QRS complex had the shortest duration (0.02±0.01 s) in Beagles. The QT interval had the shortest duration (0.16±0.01 s) in Yorkshire Terriers. The T wave had the same duration (0.04±0.01 s) for all examined breeds. Regarding heart rate, it was observed that larger dogs have a lower heart rate compared to smaller dogs.

The parotid gland is one of the major salivary glands present in domestic mammals, mainly developed in herbivores. In the specialized literature, there are studies related to the size and development of the gland in ruminants, analyzing correlations between diet and parotid gland morphometry. The parotid region is an area of interest for clinicians, given the traumatic lesions or tumor formations that can occur in this region and which also lead to pathologies of the large salivary glands. Despite the low incidence of salivary gland diseases in most domestic animal species, inflammatory processes may occur, and medicamentous treatment may be associated with surgical treatment. The study focused on aspects of the morpho-topography and vascularization of the parotid gland in small ruminants, also describing its rapport with vascular-nervous and lymphatic structures. Among the most important differences and individual variations observed are differences in gland morphometry and variations in the topography of the parotid duct.
