An 18-year-old, female Shih Tzu dog was presented at Prasu-Arthorn Animal Hospital, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Mahidol University with the clinical signs of abdominal enlargement, constipation and urine incontinence. The survey abdominal radiographs demonstrated only a caudal large oval soft tissue abdominal mass and abdominal ultrasonography was suggested to indicate the mass origin. However, ultrasonographic finding did not identify the mass location and tissue invasiveness so computed tomography (CT) was requested. The CT result revealed that the mass was a mixed heterogenous attenuating and fluid attenuating mass (8.56 x 5.47 x 6.72 cm) at the uterine body and involved the …

Management Strategies For Improving Survival Of Piglets From Hyperprolific Sows, R.N. Kirkwood, P. Langendijk, J. Carr Dec 2021

Management Strategies For Improving Survival Of Piglets From Hyperprolific Sows, R.N. Kirkwood, P. Langendijk, J. Carr

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

In efforts to improve profitability, sows have been subject to ongoing selection for larger litters. The current dogma is that larger litters improve sow productivity. This review, however, will question the validity of this assumption. It is inescapable that very large litters will have longer farrowing durations, lower average and more variable birth weights, and the sows will have insufficient teats available to feed their piglets. This is a recipe for increased piglet mortality with associated ethical considerations. This review will examine methods employed to address these challenges posed by larger litters in order to improve piglet survival. Producers, however, …

Carp Edema Virus A Rising Threat To Global Carp Population, Xolani Phaya, Jing-Xiang Zhou, Zhuo Yu Wang, Hao Wang, Jie Liang

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Carp edema virus (CEV), a poxvirus from the family Poxviridae, was first detected in 1974 in Japan and has since spread to most parts of the world. CEV is the etiological agent of koi sleepy disease (KSD), which has adverse health effects on both koi and common carp fish species. Equally, KSD leads to detrimental financial distress to carp farmers and further threatens both food security and ecology. The onset and severity of CEV/KSD is influenced by water temperature and handling stress. The prominent clinical sign of KSD in both koi and common carp is lethargy, which is manifested when …
