Öğe Türü: Öğe , Bir kedide polikistik böbrek hastalığı ve karaciğer kisti(Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi, 24.12.2025) Birdane, Fatih Mehmet; Yavuz, Tunahan; Sarıtaş, Zülfükar Kadir; Cıngı, Cenker ÇağrıBu olgunun materyalini, anoreksi, letarji ve abdominal gerginlik şikâyetiyle Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Hayvan Hastanesine getirilen beş yaşlı, dişi, British Shorthair ırkı bir kedi oluşturdu. Fiziksel muayenede abdomende ağrı saptandı, vücut ısısı ve nabız sayısı fizyolojik sınırlarda ölçüldü. Yapılan ultrasonografik muayenede iki böbrekte çok sayıda kistle beraber karaciğer parankiminde içi yaklaşık 20 ml sıvı dolu bir adet kist saptandı. Kistin büyüklüğü göz önünde bulundurularak yapılan perkutan aspirasyon ile lezyon boşaltıldı. Aspiratın mikrobiyolojik incelemesinde Gram (+) kok saptandı.. Bu olgu sunumunda, British Shorthair ırkı bir kedide polikistik böbrek hastalığı ile birlikte görülen hepatik kistin klinik, hematolojik, radyografik ve ultrasonografik bulgularının yanı sıra uygulanan girişimsel sağaltımın değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.Öğe Türü: Öğe , Diagnosis and surgical correction of a conjunctivopalpebral dermoid in a cat(Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi, 24.12.2025) Uygur, Diğdem; Uygur, Aslı; Tunç, Arda Selin; Şenel, Oytun OkanOcular malformations are rare anomalies of significant clinical relevance in veterinary ophthalmology. This case report aims to present the detailed diagnosis of a rare conjunctivopalpebral dermoid in a cat, supported by clinical and histopathological findings, and to describe the surgical intervention performed. A 1.5-year-old male mixed-breed cat was referred to the Ophthalmology Clinic of Ankara University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine with complaints of a mass in the eye, pruritus, and discharge, which had been present since kittenhood. Clinical examination revealed a dermoid located on the right upper eyelid, affecting both the eyelid margin and the adjacent palpebral conjunctiva. Following the diagnosis of conjunctivopalpebral dermoid, the abnormal tissue was completely excised via surgical intervention. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis, demonstrating keratinized epithelium, acanthosis, melanin pigmentation, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and mast cells within the tissue. No postoperative complications were observed, and the patient was monitored for approximately three months without any recurrence or additional issues. This report presents a comprehensive clinical and histopathological diagnostic approach and a successful surgical technique for a rare conjunctivopalpebral dermoid in a cat, offering a valuable contribution to the understanding and management of rare congenital anomalies in the field of veterinary ophthalmology.Öğe Türü: Öğe , A case of multiple struvite urolith formation in the urinary bladder of a geriatric dog(Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi, 24.12.2025) Yaygıngül, Rahime; Gürsel, Ahmet; Baydoğan, BurakThis study aimed to investigate the clinical, laboratory, radiographic and ultrasonographic findings for diagnosing urolithiasis in a dog. A 12-year-old Golden Retriever was brought to the Aydin Adnan Menderes University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Research and Practice Animal Hospital, Aydin, Türkiye, due to haematuria and polyuria that has been presented for two years. Physical examination revealed a hard mass in the caudal abdomen. Radiographs confirmed the presence of uroliths in the urinary bladder and ultrasonography showed acoustic shadowing, giving a hyperechoic appearance, leading to a diagnosis of urolithiasis. Uroliths were surgically removed by cystotomy and were found to be yellow, four to six-sided, and varied in size and shape, weighing 158 grams in total. Biochemical analysis identified them as struvite. While various medical and surgical treatment options exist for urolithiasis, traditional cystotomy remains the most commonly used and effective method, especially for large, multiple stones, as demonstrated in this case report.Öğe Türü: Öğe , Effects of anesthesia protocols for umbilical hernia surgery on blood gas parameters in calves(Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi, 24.12.2025) Yener, Kerem; Şahan, Adem; Yavuz, Ünal; Dikmen, Kübra; Hurma, Mehmet Sıdık; Karadağ, Mehmet SalihThis study aimed to evaluate the physiological effects of different preanesthetic sedative and lidocaine combinations in neonatal calves undergoing umbilical herniorrhaphy based on blood gas analyses. Twenty-five clinically healthy calves (42.3±15.8 days old; 79.6±7.2 kg) diagnosed with umbilical hernia were divided into five groups. Each group received a combination of lidocaine (L) with xylazine (X), dexmedetomidine (D), medetomidine (Me), midazolam (Mi), or butorphanol (B) (preanaesthetics administered intravenously). Local infiltration anesthesia was administered using lidocaine (4 mg/kg) across all groups. Venous blood samples were collected from each calf before anesthesia and at 5, 15, 30, and 60 min after induction. The following parameters were analyzed: pH, pCO₂, pO₂, HCO₃⁻, BE, sO₂, Hb, Hct, Na⁺, K⁺, Cl⁻, Ca²⁺, glucose, lactate, and creatinine levels. Although no significant differences were observed between the groups for most parameters, time-dependent changes within the groups were notable. In the DL group, marked acidosis and hypoxemia were detected at the 5th minute (p<0.05), whereas in the BL group, potassium and lactate levels increased significantly (p<0.05). The MeL group exhibited significant hyperglycemia (p=0.004), whereas the MiL group demonstrated the most stable values in terms of oxygenation and acid–base balance. Conclusion, the MiL combination is the most stable and safe anesthesia protocol in terms of hemodynamic and metabolic parameters during umbilical herniorrhaphy in neonatal calves. In contrast, protocols involving the DL and BL require careful monitoring. These findings provide important clinical insights into safe anesthetic management under field conditions.Öğe Türü: Öğe , Effect of momordica charantia and honey on probiotic yoghurt production(Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi, 24.12.2025) Kaya, Duygu; Keyvan, ErhanThis study investigates the impact of incorporating Momordica charantia (bitter melon) and honey into probiotic yogurt production, focusing on microbiological, physicochemical, and sensory properties. Bitter melon is recognized for its bioactive compounds, including antioxidants and prebiotic components, while honey is valued for its antimicrobial and nutritional benefits. Probiotic yoghurts were prepared with varying concentrations (1.5%, 3%, and 4.5%) of a honey-bitter melon mixture, and their properties were analyzed over 28 days of storage. Microbiological assessments revealed that the combination did not significantly affect the viability of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, while Lactobacillus acidophilus exhibited higher initial proliferation but showed no significant differences over time. Physicochemical analysis indicated that the honey-bitter melon mixture had minimal impact on pH and acidity levels. Water-holding capacity and syneresis varied among groups, with the gel structure of bitter melon contributing to reduced whey separation. Color measurements showed slight variations, suggesting the influence of bitter melon on yogurt brightness and hue. Sensory evaluation demonstrated that honey-bitter melon mixture enhanced the overall acceptability of probiotic yogurt, though no significant differences were observed between test groups and controls during storage. These findings suggest that incorporating bitter melon and honey into probiotic yogurt does not compromise microbial viability, maintains desirable physicochemical properties, and improves sensory acceptance. This study highlights the potential of bitter melon and honey as functional ingredients in probiotic yogurt, offering health benefits while preserving product quality.
