Feline parotid salivary duct sialocele is an uncommon disorder that has been previously reported in association with traumatic rupture of the duct in only two cats. Both cases were successfully treated by proximal duct ligation. We describe the successful surgical treatment of a parotid duct sialocele, secondary to spontaneous salivary duct stenosis, in an adult domestic shorthair cat. Th...... hiện toàn bộ

OverviewChlamydophila felis is a Gram-negative bacterium and its primary target is the conjunctiva. The bacterium does not survive outside the host. Infection Transmission requires close contact between cats; ocular secretions are probably the most important body fluid for infection. Most cases occur in cats under 1 year of age. Chlamydophila felis is t...... hiện toàn bộ
Idiopathic Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Cats: Rational Treatment SelectionJournal of Feline Medicine and Surgery - Tập 11 - Trang 32-38 - 2009
Lauren Trepanier
Practical relevance Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a common diagnosis in cats with chronic gastrointestinal signs. Its management presents clinical challenges, not least because rational therapy relies on a definitive diagnosis, and current understanding of the underlying pathogenesis has, to date, limited the development of specific therapies. The mainstays of trea...... hiện toàn bộ
Natural FCoV infection: Cats with FIP exhibit significantly higher viral loads than healthy infected catsJournal of Feline Medicine and Surgery - Tập 8 - Trang 69-72 - 2006
Anja Kipar, Keith Baptiste, Andreas Barth, Manfred Reinacher
Natural feline coronavirus (FCoV) infection has been shown to not only induce intestinal infection with viral shedding, but also systemic infection which either remains without clinical signs or leads to feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). As systemic infection is not the key event in the development of FIP, the question arises as to whether a potential difference in viral load might be ...... hiện toàn bộ
Efficacy of azithromycin for the treatment of feline chlamydophilosisJournal of Feline Medicine and Surgery - Tập 5 - Trang 305-311 - 2003
W.M.A. Owen, C.P. Sturgess, D.A. Harbour, K. Egan, T.J. Gruffydd-Jones
The current recommended treatment for feline chlamydophilosis involves daily oral administration of antimicrobials to all cats within an affected group for a prolonged period of time (4–6 weeks). Not surprisingly, owner compliance can be poor resulting in apparent treatment failure. Recent anecdotal evidence, supported by its efficacy in the treatment of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in...... hiện toàn bộ

Although knowledge of feline haemotropic mycoplasmas (haemoplasmas) has dramatically improved in recent years, some issues still remain to be elucidated. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the prevalence of feline haemoplasma infections in blood samples collected from cats in northern Italy. A convenience-sample of 307 cats (40 anaemic; 258 non-anaemic; nine with unknown haematoc...... hiện toàn bộ
