Item Comparison of effectiveness of parenteral lincomycin/spectinomycin combination and dexpanthenol application in goat kids with contagious ecthyma(Polish Soc Veterinary Sciences Editorial Office, 2018-04-16) Avcı, Oǧuzhan; Yapıcı, Orhan; Kasap, Sevim; Temizel, Ethem Mutlu; Karakuş, Adil Ömer; Büyükcangaz, Esra; Kavukçu, Fatih; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/İç Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/Mikrobiyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-6834-0808; 0000-0003-4337-577X; AAP-7998-2020; AAL-2323-2020; 26430270100; 57212942021; 36514844800; 25649139400; 57204181576Contagious ecthyma (CE) is a highly contagious viral skin disease that is typically self-limited. Treatment options include topical antiseptics, such as KMNO4, local antibiotics and systemic antibiotics to prevent secondary skin infections. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the lincomycin/spectinomycin combination and dexpanthenol (Dxp) in goat kids with CE. The study was conducted at a Saanen dairy goat farm in Bursa, Turkey. The owner of the goat herd inquired at the veterinary hospital about the appearance of granulomatous lesions on the muzzles of goat kids. In this study, 24 goat kids (1-month-olds) were used. All animals were subjected to the same conditions. Blood and papule samples were taken from the animals' lips, muzzle and buccal mucosa for virological analysis. Swab samples were taken from the lesions for culture and antibiogram. The animals were divided into three groups. Lesions were clinically scored at days 1, 7 and 15 according to a modified previously used scoring system. Goat kids were equally grouped on the basis of lesions on the buccal mucosa, lips and muzzle. The animals in group A received 15 mg/kg lincomycin/spectinomycin combination (Lypectin*, Vilsan) intramuscularly for 3 consecutive days, group B received 20 mg/kg Dxp (Bepanthen* amp, Bayer, Germany) intramuscularly for 3 consecutive days, and group C received 0.9% NaCl (2 ml), the control treatment. Clinical recoveries were almost equal in all groups, but by day 14, group A showed better recovery than group B and group C. Both study groups also showed better results than the control group for all days. In conclusion, we believe that the lincomycin/spectinomycin combination or dexpanthenol can be useful in the supplementary treatment of CE in goat kids.Item Floppy kid disease: Diagnostic and therapeutic approach in kids suffering from FKD in Northern Cyprus(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2017-12-08) Sayıner, Serkan; Temizel, Ethem Mutlu; Kavukçu, Fatih; Karakuş, Adil Ömer; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/İç Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı.Floppy Kid Disease (FKD) is a condition which is characterized with metabolic acidosis, generalized anorexia and muscle weakness that can be seen in young goat kids. During the course of an investigation on goat kids suffering from muscle weakness and increased deaths in a goat farm in Cyprus, 10 kids were evaluated. Hematological and biochemical examinations were performed for clinically depressive 5 kids. Also, blood gas analysis were performed for clinically depressive other 5 kids on the next day. As a result of the evaluation, blood pH values of 3 kids were 7.35, 7.33 and 7.26 in blood gas analysis and in addition to that base excess values of these kids were -3.90, -4.0 and -6.8, respectively. Furthermore, BHB values of these kids, which can be generated as a mid-product of D Lactate, were high and especially the kid with a pH value of 7.26 had BHB level of 160 μmol/L. Following the treatment, only 2 kids died during 1 month of follow-up treatment. This study emphasizes the importance of metabolic acidosis and related parameters in diagnosis of FKD. In general, separation of kids from nannies and giving them oral bicarbonate were thought to be effective for Floppy Kid Disease.
