A case of steroid-induced osteoporosis-related multiple fractures and dislocations are described after a seizure is reported. Patient had two years history of steroid use with no supplement or antiresorptive therapy. There was a delay in the diagnosis which affected an otherwise good outcome in such situations. It is recommended that patients on steroid should be given calcium, vitamin D, and an antiresorptive. Furthermore, a meticulous clinical examination is required in patients who are on steroids and suffer epileptic seizures to rule out skeletal injury.

The aim of this study was to report the outcome of the use of an external fixator to treat a pelvic canal stenosis in a 5-month-old female cat. The cat was referred with a history of 3 weeks of intermittent signs of constipation refractory to the medical management, occurring after surgical treatment for a bilateral sacroiliac luxation and sacral fracture. The clinical examination revealed instability of the pelvis and a radiograph showed a pelvic canal stenosis and megacolon. External fixator was the method of choice to be used in this case. The manually applied tension on an external fixator resulted in a widening of the pelvic canal. At 45 days after surgery, there were no signs of constipation, and the radiological examination showed progressive bone healing. At 18 months post-op, the cat had no abnormalities both on the clinical examination and on the radiography. In conclusion, the use of an external fixator led to the widening of the pelvic canal using a minimally invasive procedure. To the authors’ knowledge, this case report represents the first surgical description and clinical outcome of the widening of the pelvic canal in cats using an external skeletal fixator.

Concurrent lymphosarcoma and salmonellosis in a 12-year-old female neutered domestic shorthair cat in Grenada is described. Clinically, the cat was emaciated, and had a history of vomiting and diarrhea of two months duration. Clinical examination revealed a large palpable mass in the craniodorsal abdomen and fluid in the thoracic cavity. Gross lesions consisted of moderate pyothorax and pyoabdomen with variably-sized, single to multiple, soft, white masses in the mesentery adjacent to the pancreas, on the serosal surface of the stomach, and on the quadrate lobe of the liver. Histopathological findings associated with these masses were compatible with lymphosarcoma. Sheets of neoplastic round cells, some with intracytoplasmic eosinophilic granules, were found in the masses associated with the omentum, stomach, and liver. <i>Salmonella enteritidis</i> was isolated in pure culture from the thoracic fluid, collected during clinical examination, and mesenteric mass, collected during necropsy, and both isolates showed similar antimicrobial susceptibility patterns.

Background. Ogilvie syndrome is a rare postpartum complication. It is characterized by an acute colonic pseudo-obstruction which occurs in the absence of a mechanical cause. Early detection of the diagnosis is essential to avoid cecal perforation. Case report. We report a case of Ogilvie syndrome following caesarean section in a 39-year-old woman (gravida 2, para 2) with a history of secondary infertility 10 years ago due to tubal stenosis and subserous fibroma, which led to the indication for cesarean section in second pregnancy at 39 weeks of gestation. Three days after cesarean section, the patient presented with significant abdominal distension and tenderness, vomiting, weakness, and nausea; an abdominal X-ray showed cecal distension. Abdominal computed tomography scan with intravenous contrast revealed distension of the ascending and transverse colon with air-fluid levels but without transitional mechanical obstruction. The patient was successfully treated. Conclusions. Ogilvie syndrome is a rare but serious complication that should be considered in fit young patients who present with pain, severe abdominal distension and failure to pass flatus after caesarean section.

Gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV) is a progressing bloat condition in dogs characterized as dilatation followed by rotation of stomach. A sevenyear old 18 kg black colour female non-descriptive dog presented, with history of difficulty in respiration within half an hour after feeding of curd meals. With the history and general clinical examination the case tentatively diagnosed as gastric dilatation. After unsuccessful advancement of oro-gastric tube, needle gastric paracentesis was performed on left side of the abdomen caudal to the last rib for decompression. Mid-ventral celiotomy and gastrotomy were performed after stabilization of heart rate and respiratory rate. After evacuating the whitish frothy content from the stomach, derotation and incisional gastropexy was performed. On 14thpostoperative day telecommunication confirmed the milk based meal induced GDV canine patient recovered uneventfully. Electrocardiogram monitoring done for first 24 hours period and ventricular arrhythmia was managed by using lidocaine (loading@2mg/ kg bw followed by 25mcg/kg/min for 30 min). It is concluded that on 14th postoperative day telecommunication confirmed the milk based meal induced GDV canine patient recovered uneventfully.

Pesticide is used in agriculture, but their non-competent usage can cause adverse effect on people and animals. There are numerous clinical states and symptoms which can give clinical image similiar to pesticide poisoning, with vagal symptoms as a vertigo, weariness, nausea, vomiting, headache, pain in abdomen and musles. That is why diagnosis of accidental pesticide poisoning is difficult. The base for establishing of diagnosis is information that the person was in contact with pesticide, confirmed by laboratory and toxicological analysis. In some cases pesticide poisoning can not be proved by laboratory methods. In these cases history of disease and clinical examination can help in establishing of diagnosis.
