    Characterization of Pasteurella multocida isolates recovered from the oral flora of cats
    (Ankara Üniversitesi, 2020-12-25) Tınmaz, Tuğçe; Çelik, Baran; Halaç, Baran; Bağcıgil, Arzu Funda; Veteriner Fakültesi
    In this study, it was aimed to investigate the presence of Pasteurella multocida in the swab samples taken from the oral cavity of cats, and to determine the capsular type and antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates. For this purpose, swab samples taken from 300 cats were inoculated onto Knight's selective enriched medium and blood agar for isolation of P. multocida. Following after capsular typing of the isolates by PCR, the susceptibilities of the isolates to ceftiofur, clindamycin, erythromycin, enrofloxacin, amoxicillin+clavulanic acid, trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol were examined by the disk diffusion method. The relationships between oral colonization and various physiological and behavioral variables were evaluated, statistically. P. multocida was isolated from 48 (16%) of the samples and all strains were typed as capsular type A. While all of the isolates were resistant to clindamycin and susceptible to enrofloxacin, 8,33% tetracycline resistance was also remarkable. Multiple antibiotic resistance (MDR) was detected in 27% of the isolates. The colonization of P. multocida was found to be statistically significant in cats under the age of 1 and in cats living outdoors. The importance of antibiotic resistance observed in bacteria with a zoonotic character such as P. multocida should not be ignored since it poses a threat to public health. It was concluded that, in this study determination of tetracycline resistance, which has started to be reported in feline Pasterurella multocida isolates in recent years, and detection of multiple antibiotic resistance in 27% of isolates, was extremely important for public health.

    Priapism and its surgical treatment in a cat
    (Ankara Üniversitesi, 2020-12-25) Sarıtaş, Zülfikar; Korkmaz, Musa; Görücü, Fatma; Çelik, Sefa; Veteriner Fakültesi
    This study details a case of priapism in a 3-year-old, male, crossbreed cat weighing 5,4 kg treated successfully with surgery. The cat was brought to the Afyon Kocatepe University Veterinary Health Application and Research Centre for general examination and castration. Clinical examination revealed a fully erect and hard/solid penis. Serum biochemistry, complete blood count, and testosterone results of the animal were within the reference ranges except for urea. When the conservative treatment was unsuccessful, it was decided to perform a perineal urethrostomy operation. Postoperative examination on day 10 revealed healing and comfortable urination; thus, the stitches and urinary catheter were removed. In conclusion, this report of successful treatment of priapism in a cat through perineal urethrostomy can contribute to veterinary literature.

    Treatment outcomes of using paraosseous clamp and cerclage stabilisation technique in long bone fractures of cats: a retrospective study
    (Ankara Üniversitesi, 2020-12-25) Şen, İlker; Sağlam, Mehmet; Veteriner Fakültesi
    The stabilisation technique of paraosseous clamp and cerclage has become one of the most widely used current techniques because of the easy of applicability and low cost. It is a relatively new method providing rigid fixation in the treatment of fractures, especially those which do not have sufficient cortex resistance and have a wide medullar canal in the period when the long bones of the extremity have not completed development. The technique is based on binding 3 double cerclage wires to each other to form a paracortical belt. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of fractures in the extremity long bones of cats treated with the new stabilisation method of paraosseous clamp and cerclage. The study group was formed of 14 cats of various breeds and ages, of both genders, diagnosed with a fracture of the extremity long bone. Clinical and radiographical follow-up examinations were made at 10, 30, and 45 days postoperatively. Clinical healing was achieved in 13 cases on postoperative day 45, and those cases could use the affected extremity. A correlation was determined between the functional healing results and low complication rates, including unstable fractures, and it is supported that this technique could be use of this technique in the treatment of long bone fractures. In conclusion, the results of this study demonstrated that the paraosseous clamp and cerclage stabilisation technique can be used as an alternative method in the treatment of long bone fractures, especially in indicated cases.
