Horner's Syndrome Associated With Escherichia Coli Infection In A Raccoon (Procyon Lotor) - A Case Report, Fernando Nájera Muñoz, Alfredo Carlos Suárez Saavedra
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
This clinical case describes a three-year-old male raccoon (Procyon lotor), castrated, from La Lajita Oasis ParkZoological Park (Spain) which showed lack of appetite, state of mental depression and mild dehydration. Duringclinical examination an abscess was detected in the left ventrolateral area of the neck as well as clinical signscompatible with Horner’s Syndrome in the left eye. A hypersensitivity test was carried out by sympatheticinnervation with topical epinephrine 0.0001% and results suggested the presence of second-order Horner’s Syndromeformed by pressure from the abscess on the sympathetic innervation of the left eye. A radiologic study of the neckwas performed and blood and …

A total of 145 Escherichia coli isolates originated from clinically-healthy pigs were analyzed for plasmidprofiles. All but one isolate (n=144) carried one to nine plasmids with size ranging from 0.7-16.2 Mda. Fifty-sixplasmid profiles were defined based on sizes and numbers of plasmids in each strain, of which the most commonpatterns were 15.8, 4, 3.3, 1.7, 1.3 Mda and 16.2, 15.8, 4, 3.3, 2.3, 1.7, 1.3, 1, 0.7 Mda. The results indicate widedistribution of plasmids among the commensal E. coli isolates originated from clinically-healthy pigs.
