Judul: Case Study of Acute Pancreatitis in Golden Retriever Using The Ultrasound Imaging Techniques
Abstrak: Studi kasus ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan gambaran ultrasonografi (sonogram) pada anjing Golden Retriever yang mengalami pankreatitis akut. Diagnosis penyakit ini dilakukan dengan serangkaian tes yang meliputi pemeriksaan fisik, pemeriksaan laboratorium hematologi dan kimia darah serta teknik pencitraan ultrasonografi. Sinyalemen pada kasus ini adalah anjing Golden Retriever jantan yang berusia 13 tahun dan memiliki bobot badan 42,1 kg. Anjing tersebut merupakan pasien rujukan dari Klinik Groovy Vet Care untuk dilakukan pemeriksaan lebih lanjut di Rumah Sakit Hewan Pendidikan FKH IPB. Hasil anamnesis dan pemeriksaan fisik diketahui anjing tersebut mengalami muntah, demam, dan kesulitan untuk berjalan. Pemeriksaan hematologi dan kimia darah menunjukan adanya peningkatan jumlah leukosit, neutrofil, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), globulin, amilase dan lipase. Hasil sonogram pada studi kasus ini menunjukkan bertambahnya ukuran dan perubahan struktur pada pankreas. Perubahan struktur pankreas menunjukkan bentuk yang tidak beraturan dengan ekhogenitas yang berkurang pada bagian tengah dan peningkatan ekhogenitas pada tepi pankreas sampai lemak mesenterika. Struktur hipoekhoik yang tidak teratur pada pankreas menunjukkan adanya nekrosa, edema dan pendarahan. Struktur hiperekhoik peripankreas sampai lemak mesenterika disebabkan karena steatitis peripankreas dan nekrosis lemak. Sehingga, dari serangkaian hasil pemeriksaan diatas, anjing tersebut didiagnosis mengalami pankreatitis akut., The purpose of this case study is to describe the ultrasound images (sonograms) of Golden Retriever dogs suffering from acute pancreatitis. Various test was carried on such as diagnosed using a battery of tests, including a physical examination, hematological and blood chemistry tests, and an ultrasound imaging technique. In this case, the signalement are a 13-year-old male Golden Retriever weighing 42.1 kg. The dog was referral patient from Groovy Vet Care Clinic to IPB University Veterinary Teaching Hospital for further examination. The anamnesis and physical examination showed that the dog was vomiting, feverish, and having difficulty walking. An increase in leukocytes, neutrophils, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), globulin, amylases, and lipase is found in hematology and blood chemistry tests. In this case study, the sonogram result shows that the pancreas has grown in size and undergone structural changes. The changes in pancreas structure seen on case dog sonograms showed an irregular shape with decreased echogenicity in the middle and increased echogenicity at the pancreas's edges to mesenteric fat. Necrosis, oedema and bleeding can be seen in an irregular hypoechoic structure in the pancreas. The hyperechoic structure peripancreatic to fat mesenteric is caused by regional perpipancreatic steatitis and fat necrosis. Therefore, from a series of examination results above, the dog was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis.

Judul: Case Study of Gallbladder Mucocele with Ehrlichiosis in Beagle Dog
Abstrak: Komplikasi gallbladder mucocele dan ehrlichiosis akibat infeksi bakteri Ehrlichia canis (E. canis) dapat menyebabkan gangguan kesehatan hingga kematian pada anjing. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui karakteristik gallbladder mucocele serta ehrlichiosis pada anjing melalui interpretasi ultrasonografi abdomen, hematologi, dan kimia darah serta studi terkait terapi yang diberikan. Seekor anjing beagle betina berumur ±15 tahun milik Rumah Sakit Hewan Pendidikan, Sekolah Kedokteran Hewan dan Biomedis, IPB University memiliki keluhan muntah frekuen, penurunan nafsu makan, dan lesu. Pemeriksaan fisik pada hewan menunjukkan bobot badan 6.8 kg, BCS 2/9, suhu tubuh 38 °C, dan dehidrasi dengan turgor kulit >3 detik. Sonogram abdomen menunjukkan adanya pembesaran gallbladder disertai adanya endapan sekitar 90 % dengan ekhogenitas hiperekoik. Pemeriksaan darah menunjukkan peningkatan nilai ALT 132 U/L, total protein 8.3 g/dL, anemia (eritrosit 2.68 x 106 µL), trombositopenia (trombosit 20 x 103 µL), leukopenia (leukosit 4.8 x 103 µL), limfopenia (limfosit 0.6 x 103 µL), dan kadar blood urea nitrogen yang tinggi (187 mg/dL). Evaluasi rapid test kit menunjukkan anjing positif terinfeksi E. Canis. Kombinasi terapi asam ursodeoxycholic, hepatoprotektan, antibiotik, suplemen darah, dan vitamin diberikan selama 2 bulan. Evaluasi sonogram dan darah dilakukan setiap 4 minggu. Kondisi anjing sempat menunjukkan adanya perbaikan, namun akhirnya pasien tidak bertahan dan mati, Complications of gallbladder mucocele and ehrlichiosis due to bacterial infection Ehrlichia canis (E. canis) can cause health problems and even death in dogs. This study aims to determine the characteristics of gallbladder mucocele and ehrlichiosis in dogs through the interpretation of abdominal ultrasonography, hematological, blood chemistry and studies related to the therapy given. A female beagle dog aged ± 15 years belonging to the Teaching Animal Hospital, School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical, IPB University has complaints of frequent vomiting, decreased appetite, and lethargy. Physical examination of the animals showed body weight of 6.8 kg, BCS 2/9, body temperature 38 °C, and dehydration with skin turgor >3 seconds. Abdominal sonogram showed an enlarged gallbladder with approximately 90% deposition with hyperechoic echogenicity. Blood examination showed an increase in ALT value of 132 U/L, total protein 8.3 g/dL, anemia (erythrocytes 2.68 x 106 µL), thrombocytopenia (platelets 20 x 103 µL), leukopenia (leukocytes 4.8 x 103 µL), lymphopenia (lymphocytes 0.6 x 103 µL), and high blood urea nitrogen levels (187 mg/dL). Evaluation of the rapid test kit showed the dog was positive for E. canis infection. Combination therapy with ursodeoxycholic acid, hepatoprotectants, antibiotics, blood supplements, and vitamins was given for 2 months. Sonogram and blood evaluation were performed every 4 weeks. The dog's condition had shown improvement, but in the end the patient did not survive and died.
