📃 Leucoderma/vitiligo in Buffaloes 🐃
Copper is essential for melanin synthesis via the enzyme tyrosinase. Deficiency leads to reduced melanin production, causing depigmentation (white patches).
Zinc is critical for skin repair and maintaining immune function. Deficiency impairs keratinocyte function, exacerbating skin issues.
✅ Treatment:
1️⃣ Copper Supplementation:
🥄 Oral: Copper sulfate 0.25-0.5 g/day/adult (mix in feed).
💉 Injection: Copper glycinate or copper calcium edetate (dose as per vet advice).
🧂 Use mineral mixtures rich in copper.
2️⃣ Zinc Supplementation:
🥄 Oral: Zinc sulfate 0.5-1 g/day/adult (mix in feed).
💉 Injection: Zinc gluconate or zinc methionine.
3️⃣ Dietary Support:
Add oil cakes, legumes, and mineral blocks.
Supplement with Vitamin A & E for better skin repair.
✅ Prevention:
Provide balanced mineral mixtures daily.
Check soil/fodder for mineral content to adjust diet accordingly.

📃 IV catheter placement in the calf's auricular vein 🐄
A: Cranial third of a right ear in a calf (viewed from the dorsal aspect) showing two ear veins forming a V, and the lesser visible ear artery below.
B: Catheter prior to insertion into a straight ear vein holding the catheter with the right hand and the ear with the left hand. Either a straight ear vein or a V-shaped bifurcation of 2 veins is the preferred site for catheter placement.
C, Catheter inserted into a straight ear vein approximately 0.5 inches (1 cm) with blood coming out of the stylet needle. At this point of insertion, the catheter can be fully advanced and the stylet removed.
D: Suturing of the ear catheter to the auricular pinna using an injection needle and monofilament rigid suture material. Place two stitches on each side of the catheter forming a simple knot.

💥 Giant throat tumor in a horse 🐎

This horse was referred to Equitom with a massive swelling at the parotis region. The mass was exceptionnal in size (24 cm diameter) and CT examination revealed the swelling not to be a mélanome, as often seen in grey horses, but a real and much more invasive tumour!

Senior surgeon, dr Tom Mariën, who has become an expert in complicated throat tumours, studied the case and accepted the challenge!

Before surgery, he knew this would be the toughest and most complicated procedure he ever had to perform in a throat of a horse.

Here you see we removed the 20 meter of compressive bandages out of the drainage opening 48 hours after surgery.

💥Do you know how to take a blood sample from a giant tortoises?🐢

Different sites can be used in giant tortoises (as in other chelonians) but the size and strength of these big individuals does not allow you to use them all!

One site of choice is the brachial vein. It allows a simple, quick and easily accessible collection of a large quantity of blood.

In turtles (>1kg) where it is difficult to collect blood from the subcarapacial venous sinus, the dorsal coccygeal vein or the external jugular veins, this site can be used!

💥 PALPEBRAL REFLEX EXAMINATION IN DOGS 🐕 📌Nerves Involved: 1. Facial Nerve (CN VII) - Motor branch: controls orbicularis oculi muscle (eyelid closure) - Sensory branch: palpebral nerve (afferent pathway) 2. Trigeminal Nerve (CN V) - Ophthalmic branch (V1): sensory input from eyelid 📌Examination Technique: 1. Gently touch medial canthus (angle between eyelids) 2. Observe eyelid closure 📃 Normal Response: 1. Immediate, complete eyelid closure 📃 Abnormal Response: 1. Delayed or incomplete closure 2. Absent reflex (indicating facial nerve damage) 📌Anatomical Landmarks: 1. Medial canthus 2. Lateral canthus (outer corner) 3. Palpebral fissure (eyelid opening) 📌Clinical Significance: 1. Evaluates facial nerve function 2. Assesses trigeminal nerve sensory input 3. Detects eyelid or orbital diseases ©️Video Credit: DrCatthyMorris Disclaimer: This educational video is only shared for veterinary students learning! #Vets #vetmed #dogs #pets #veterinarian #uvas #fvas #pvmc #dogcare
