Maxim VetZine #2024 Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC): Difficulty Urinating in Cats August 2024 So, you know, your beloved cat suddenly has difficulty peeing? Don't panic yet! It could be that he has FIC, or in cool terms Idiopathic Bladder Inflammation. Yes, it's also called idiopathic, so even veterinarians are confused about the cause. Usually, cats that have FIC complain of pain when they pee, often go back and forth to the litter box but only have a small amount of urine, or even have blood in their pee. Poor thing, right? Stress, the environment, or perhaps another disease could be the culprit. But don't worry, the vet can help reduce the complaints. The veterinarian may give you medication, special food, or tell you to relax first. It's very important to keep the litter box clean, give it good food, and give your cat time to relax so it doesn't get stressed. If your cat does this often, don't hesitate to take it to the vet, okay? We will slowly discuss Difficulty Peeing in Cats . What is Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC)? FIC is a disease that causes inflammation of the cat's bladder. Idiopathic means the exact cause is not known for certain. Even so, experts suspect that stress, environment, and perhaps other medical conditions play an important role in the occurrence of FIC. FIC generally has gone through a series of diagnostic examinations with various causes, but the cause may not be known for certain. Why does FIC often occur in cats? Stress: A change in environment, the presence of another cat, or even a change in routine can stress a cat. This stress can trigger inflammation of the bladder. Environment: The dirt in the litter box, the type of litter used, or even the location of the litter box can affect a cat's urinary tract health. Medical conditions: Although they rarely occur together, there are several medical conditions that can trigger or worsen FIC, such as infections, chronic inflammation, tumors, and obesity. High salt feed: there are no definite reports, but cats fed dry-food with salt mineral content such as high levels of magnesium are a risk factor, and lack of fluid intake too. Race : there is no research that definitively proves that certain races are more susceptible to FIC. Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC) is more often associated with environmental factors, stress, and overall cat health management, rather than a specific breed. What are the symptoms of FIC? Difficulty urinating: Cats will often try to urinate but little or nothing will come out. Crying in pain when urinating. Constant licking of the genital area. Blood in urine. Behavioral changes: Cats may become more aggressive, shy, or lose their appetite. How is FIC diagnosed? The veterinarian will perform a physical examination, urine tests, microscopic examination, ultrasound, and possibly blood tests to rule out other possible causes such as infection or urinary tract stones. How to treat FIC? FIC treatment aims to reduce inflammation and stress in cats. Some treatments that may be given include: Medicines: To reduce infection, inflammation and pain. Special diet: Special foods designed to help maintain urinary tract health. Reduce stress: Create a calm and safe environment for your cat. Behavioral therapy: Helps cats deal with stress and anxiety. Important to remember: FIC is a disease that often recurs. Appropriate and consistent treatment is essential. Take your cat to the vet if you suspect symptoms of FIC. Prevention: Keep the litter box clean: Change the litter regularly and clean the litter box daily. Provide quality food: Healthy food can help maintain a healthy urinary tract. Consult a veterinarian, okay? Reduce stress: Create a calm and safe environment for your cat. Get your cat checked regularly: Regular health check-ups can help detect health problems as early as possible. Conclusion FIC is a fairly common health problem in cats. With proper care, your cat can live a comfortable and healthy life. If you have further questions, do not hesitate to consult a veterinarian.

Fleas are parasites that suck the blood of animals. When they suck blood, lice can also transmit diseases and other parasites. One of the most serious effects of tick bites is anemia. Why Can Fleas Cause Anemia? Blood Loss: Ticks suck a significant amount of the animal's blood. If the flea infestation is severe and lasts a long time, the pet may lose a lot of blood. Infection: Flea bites can cause skin infections. This infection can worsen blood loss and cause anemia. Other Diseases: Some types of ticks can also transmit other diseases that can cause anemia, such as Lyme disease in dogs. Signs Your Pet Has Anemia Due to Fleas: Weakness and Lethargy: Pets will appear more lethargic and less energetic. Pale Skin: The gums and mucous membranes inside the mouth will look pale. Rapid Breathing: Pets will have difficulty breathing. Fast Heartbeat: The heart will work harder to compensate for the lack of blood. Weight Loss: Reduced appetite and decreased body weight. How to Prevent and Treat Anemia Due to Fleas: Flea Control: Brush regularly: Brush and comb your pet's fur regularly to remove fleas. Bathe regularly: Bathe using a special anti-lice shampoo. Use flea medication: Consult your veterinarian to get the right flea medication. Clean the environment: Wash pet bedding, carpets and furniture frequently used by pets. See a Vet: If your pet shows signs of anemia, take him to the vet immediately for examination and treatment. Important: Flea-induced anemia is a serious condition and requires immediate medical attention. Don't delay taking your pet to the vet if you suspect a flea infestation or anemia. Additional Tips: Prevention: Prevention is better than cure. Use flea prevention products regularly as recommended by your veterinarian. Pay Attention to Tick Season: In certain seasons, flea populations usually increase. Increase vigilance and take extra precautions. With proper treatment, flea-induced anemia can be cured. Don't hesitate to consult a veterinarian for further information. Author: Dr Mahardhiko Widodo Reference: CDC animal health 2024

Do you need to brush your teeth? Dr Mahardhiko Widodo August 2024 Halitosis Every time a dog or cat eats, within 4 hours a " plaque " will form, a thin biofilm covering the teeth which will become a good growth medium for bacteria. The anabul's ability to clean its teeth is only if it is used to eating dry food and dental snacks. However, what if the anabul is a picky eater? It is very possible that he will get used to eating foods that easily form plaque. Once formed, it will stick and accumulate day after day, week after week, and signs of bad breath will appear. Plaque is formed by bacteria, salivary products, and feed particles. The accumulated plaque is called tartar. Once tartar appears in the mouth, tooth and mouth damage has occurred. Why? Because the metabolism of growing bacteria produces enzymes that cause damage to teeth, gums and jaw bones. Over time, it results in inflammation such as gingivitis and periodontal disease. Animal mouth disease can cause foul-smelling breath, this develops very easily, and if severe requires action by a veterinarian, and possibly the extraction of several teeth that are rotting down to the roots. Generally doctors recommend dental scaling and dental surgery. It is important to know carefully that the main goal is to prevent tartar from appearing again, preventing inflammation and tooth loss. For this reason, as a pet owner, starting small habits such as dental care at home is key, and planning with a doctor to regularly check the child's oral health. Stages of Tooth Damage Nice Job! - Healthy mouth No plaque or tartar was found on the teeth. Gums look healthy and pink. There are no abnormalities in the teeth. Brushing your pet's teeth every day is ideal. Stage 1 - mild gingivitis If you pay attention, you will see redness and inflammation at the boundary between the teeth and gums. It may not be complete, but plaque begins to form slowly. Start taking care of your animal's teeth every day from now on. Stage 2 - moderate gingivitis The whole gum is inflamed! It appears reddish and inflamed at the boundary between the teeth and gums. Pain when eating may occur and bad breath. Opportunities for bacteria to damage the roots of the teeth and spread through the blood capillaries. In this condition, bacteria can spread to other organs of the body. There's no time left, start considering your health by going to the doctor and scaling. Stage 3 - severe gingivitis Mouth pain becomes a sign, and the animal experiences hypersalivation or drooling all the time. Tartar is easily visible to the naked eye. Inflammation occurs throughout the gums like cherry red! The bacteria has spread to other organs, and the tartar hardens into calculus or petrification. The heart and kidneys may experience serious inflammation. Dental Scaling and surgery are needed to evacuate several decayed teeth. Home care will unfortunately become a routine activity from now on, to prevent mouth pain, tooth loss and infections in the future Stage 4 - End-stage periodontal disease Chronic infections occur, destroying part or all of the mouth, teeth, gums, and possibly the jawbone. The spread of bacteria or sepsis has occurred in the heart, kidneys and liver. Dental Scaling and surgery are needed as soon as possible to evacuate some or all of the decayed teeth. Home care will unfortunately become a routine activity from now on, to prolong the child's life expectancy. Don't be discouraged, because your little one never refuses any food we give. Choose good food, think about dental snacks and take care of your dental health from now on. Actions that may be needed in Scalling-Dental Surgery Pre-anesthesia blood profile . Anabul needs to be examined hematologically and blood chemistry for appropriate anesthesia and surgical protocols including pain medication management. Insertion of an intravenous (IV) catheter and infusion therapy , required for injection treatment, includes anesthesia protocols. IV infusion helps maintain body temperature and blood pressure which are vital for the body's organs. Anesthesia and Monitoring Process , in the anesthesia procedure, the child will monitor breathing, inhalation and oxygen, heart and lung rhythm, pulse, oxygen saturation, ECG, and blood pressure in monitoring the patient. Complete oral exams, in this procedure a thorough assessment of the entire mouth is carried out, including teeth, gums, tongue, and bones of the upper and lower jaw to assess swelling, decay, tumor masses, bleeding, and calculus. Dental scaling , using an ultrasonic scaler to clean plaque and tartar, especially on the biofilm, between the teeth, until it reaches the lower gum line. This procedure is similar to scaling in a human dentist Tooth Evacuation and Extraction , some dead teeth are rotting down to the roots, must be evacuated by removing the tooth because it is the main door for the spread of bacteria or sepsis. Antibiotics are required during surgery and home care. Pain management , like living creatures that have a good quality of life, babies will be prioritized to receive local anesthesia, painkiller injections, and prescription drugs to control oral health and pain at home.

21 Apr 2021 Top 6 Penyakit Liver Kucing Drh Sherly Noviaria Hati (liver) merupakan organ terbesar regio abdomen mamalia, dan organ aksesoris terbesar sistem saluran pencernaan. Liver berperan dalam menjaga kesehatan dan berperan penting mengatur metabolisme tubuh si Kecil. Apa saja 6 penyakit liver kucing? ​ Penyakit liver terjadi karena adanya gangguan penurunan fungsi organ liver secara bertahap. Penyakit liver yang sering dijumpai pada kucing antara lain hepatitis (peradangan pada hati), hepatomegali (pembesaran organ hati), sirosis (kerusakan hati end-stage), hepatic lipidosis , kolangiohepatitis , portosystemic shunt , dan tumor hati primer. ​ Hepatitis dibedakan menjadi dua yaitu akut dan kronis. Hepatitis akut disebabkan oleh iskemia yang berkepanjangan, paparan toksin, dan gangguan metabolisme. Hepatitis kronis sering muncul dengan peningkatan enzim liver, berkala, dan manifestasi klinis. Berbagai macam penyebabnya antara lain keracunan tembaga (copper storage disease ), obat-obatan yang dapat merusak hati (hepatotoksik ), infeksi bakteri dan parasit darah. Adapun beberapa kasus memiliki penyebab yang tidak diketahui (idiopathic chronic hepatitis ). Peradangan hebat pada organ liver dalam waktu yang lama cenderung berkembang menjadi jaringan parut (fibrosis ) dan pada akhirnya organ liver mengalami kerusakan parah (sirosis ). Hepatomegali secara medis merupakan pembesaran organ hati melebihi ukuran normalnya, dan dapat disebabkan oleh adanya peradangan, kelainan pada penyumbatan aliran vena hepatica dan vena porta , maupun obstruksi saluran empedu. Obstruksi saluran empedu secara kronis dapat memperburuk fungsi liver. Hepatic lipidosis terjadi akibat gangguan metabolisme lemak, sehingga menimbulkan penumpukan lemak pada sel hati. Hepatic lipidosis sering terlihat pada kucing obesitas yang tiba-tiba berhenti makan. Perubahan nafsu makan secara mendadak menyebabkan cadangan lemak tubuh terakumulasi, kemudian mengalami gangguan fungsi organ, pembengkakan dan kerusakan yang meluas pada liver. Kemampuan kucing mencerna pekan berlemak sangat tinggi. Namun, kemampuan liver memetabolisme cadangan lemak tubuh sangat terbatas. 90 persen , penyakit lipidosis adalah konsekuensi sekunder dari penyakit utama seperti obesitas, diabetes, kanker, hipotiroidismus, pankreatitis dan penyakit ginjal . Kolangiohepatitis yaitu peradangan pada saluran empedu dan liver. Kolangiohepatitis lebih sering terjadi pada kucing yang disebabkan oleh infeksi bakteri yang naik dari saluran pencernaan secara ascendens. Perjalanan penyakit ini tidak memandang segala usia, berjalan secara kronis dan progresif. Gejala yang muncul terjadi saat sudah parah dengan perut yang berisi tumpukan cairan (ascites), jaundice dan kondisi yang lemah. ​ Tumor hati primer jarang terjadi pada kucing. Sifatnya dibedakan jinak atau ganas, sehingga sangat diperlukan pengambilan sampel biopsi jaringan tumor. Gejala yang muncul dapat berupa gejala umum pada gangguan fungsi liver. ​ Portosystemic shunt merupakan kondisi pembuluh darah abnormal yang seharusnya tidak ada ketika lahir, persistent dan berkembang. Kondisi ini memungkinkan aliran darah dari usus secara parsial tidak masuk ke liver, karena adanya pembuluh darah abnormal (shunt ), sehingga racun dapat mencapai langsung ke otak tanpa dimetabolisme dulu oleh liver. Kondisi tersebut menyebabkan perilaku abnormal. ​ Gejala Klinis ​ Gejala klinis dari penyakit liver seringkali tidak jelas dan tidak spesifik, tergantung dari penyebab dan tingkat keparahannya. Umumnya gejala yang tampak yaitu berat badan yang menurun , lemas , muntah , demam , ascites , jaundice yang tampak di gusi, lidah, kulit, dan mata Diagnosis ​ Penyakit liver dideteksi dengan pemeriksaan lanjut oleh dokter hewan antara lain pemeriksaan fisik, pemeriksaan hematologi, kimia darah, USG, Radiologi X-Ray, dan/atau biopsi jaringan . Dari hasil yang diperoleh dapat membantu menilai tingkat keparahan, fungsi organ liver, maupun penyebab potensial penyakit liver. Pengobatan ​ Pengobatan penyakit liver sangat tergantung pada penyebabnya, sehingga perlu dilakukan pemeriksaan dahulu oleh dokter hewan. Perawatan khusus dan suportif dapat membantu dalam banyak kasus termasuk cairan infus pada kucing yang dehidrasi, dukungan nutrisi yang cukup, dan medikasi yang dapat membantu mendukung fungsi organ liver. Dalam kasus anorexia , pemerian nutrisi melalui stomach tube sangat membantu memenuhi kebutuhan nutrisi si Kecil, dan diperlukan selama satu bulan atau lebih. ​ Konsultasikan dengan dokter hewan kesayanganmu, agar rencana kesehatan si Kecil dapat terjamin. ​ ​ Editor: Drh Miko Widodo . ​ Sumber Pustaka: Molly AW, Allison AS. 2015.
