The European Union legislation prescribes that generalised cases of septicaemia must be condemned at meat inspection. In Denmark, bovine carcasses with lesions indicating septicaemia are subjected to an additional investigation to elucidate whether findings reflect a generalised or local condition. ...

Two cows were referred to our clinic with moderate to severe hindlimb lameness due to infected wounds over the lateral and caudal aspect of tuber calcanei (TC) with regional swelling, consistent with septic subtendinous calcaneal bursitis. Ultrasonography (7.5 MHz linear probe) revealed...

The minimum soft tissue covering of the distal long bones of bovine limbs makes them particularly vulnerable to traumatic injury, which can result in infection and even formation of a bone sequestrum. This case report describes the clinical, sonographic and radiographic findings, surgical treatment ...

The study was undertaken to identify radiographic changes of hoof affections in dairy cattle. Out of the 78 cases radiographed, 67 cases were found to have lesions. Lateral and dorsopalmar/ plantar views of the affected foot of selected animals under study was evaluated. Soft tissue mass at...

Lactococcus garvieae is an emerging zoonotic pathogen impacting both humans and animals. Infection of this bacterium is known to cause mastitis in cattle, and endocarditis, osteomyelitis, liver abscess, and gastrointestinal problems are reported in immunocompromised and elderly people that...

A one-year-old, approximately 150 kg body weight, cow heifer was presented to the clinic with a history of left metatarsal fracture 20 days back. The synthetic cast was seen applied in field and was smelling foul. Radiographs in medio-lateral and dorso-plantar views revealed midshaft comminuted...

Staphylococcus agnetis has been previously associated with subclinical or clinically mild cases of mastitis in dairy cattle and is one of several staphylococcal species that have been isolated from the bones and blood of lame broilers. We reported that S. agnetis could be obtained frequently from...

This case report describes the clinical and radiographic findings and the surgical treatment of a serofibrinous arthritis of the antebrachiocarpal joint and of a chronic purulent arthritis of the intercarpal and carpometacarpal joints with osteomyelitis of the distal carpal bones and subchondral ...

Background: Published reports of rib fractures in adult cattle are limited to the occurrence of chronic rib swellings caused by calluses, which are unremarkable from a clinical standpoint, whereas studies identifying clinical signs of rib fractures were not found in a literature search. This report ...

Objective: In the context of a larger study on morphological changes of deep sole ulcers, claws with Rusterholz ulcer (RU) were investigated to describe the varied pathological changes of the RU. Material and methods: Hind limbs of 55 cows displaying external signs of complicated sole ulcers were...
