Developmental capacity of domestic cat oocyte matured in vitro is poor when compared to that of in vivo matured oocyte. While cytoplasmic maturation of the oocytes is essentially required for embryo development, little is really known about distribution of cell components during the course of in vitro maturation (IVM). The aims of this study were to examine and to describe the changes in the distribution of microtubule and actin microfilaments in relation to stage of nuclear maturation during IVM. Cumulus oocyte complexes were matured in vitro for 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24 h and then labeled with immunofluorescent dyes …

In this case presentation, retinal degeneration due to enrofloxacin intoxication encountered in a domestic short-haired male cat is discussed. History of the patient revealed that he had received 7.8 mg/kg enrofloxacin twice daily for 10 days. Both pupils were dilated. Pupillary light reflexes were negative in both eyes. Direct and indirect ophthalmoscopic examinations showed tapetal hyperreflectivity, and slight attenuation of the retinal blood vessels compared to those of a healthy cat was observed in both retinas. Follow-up information obtained from the owner by telephone 6, 12, and 18 months later revealed that there had been no improvement in the cat´s …

A 2-year-old male cat presented with sudden onset of binocular blindness in both eyes. The appearance of eyes seemed to change to cloudy white. Evaluation of intraocular components of the anterior segment was completely impossible due to the presence of homogeneous discoloration of the affected eyes. Careful history taking revealed that the cat had received megestrol acetate prescribed by the referring veterinarian for the treatment of urine spraying for 10 months. Laboratory findings revealed hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia. According to the history of drug therapy, ocular signs, and laboratory findings, a diagnosis of drug induced lipemia and subsequent lipid-laden aqueous humor …

Coxiella burnetii causes Q fever (Coxiellosis) in humans and animals worldwide. The present study was carried out to determine the seroprevalence of Q fever among stray cats in 3 providences (Ankara, Niğde, and Kayseri) in Central Anatolia, Turkey. A total of 143 sera from stray cats were examined for the presence of IgG against C. burnetii phase II antigen by indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT). Seven out of the 143 (4.9%) stray cats were seropositive for Q fever, with titers of 1:64 to 1:256. Seroprevalences in Ankara, Niğde, and Kayseri provinces were 1.6%, 7.4%, and 8.3%, respectively. This is the …
