Öğe Abomasal impaction due to sand accumulation in two cows(Sivar-Soc Italiana Veterinari Animali Reddito, 2015) Simsek, A.; Sekin, S.; Icen, H.; Kochan, A.; Celik, O. Y.; Yaman, T.Introduction - Abomasal impaction is rarely encountered in cattle and is characterized by the drying of the abomasal content and the enlargement of the abomasum as a result of the abnormal accumulation of solid matter in the organ. Aim - This manuscript aims at reporting the occurrence of the rarely encountered abomasal impaction in Turkey. Materials and methods - Two five-year-old dairy cows presenting with symptoms of inappetence, lethargy and constipation constituted the material of the study. Based on the clinical symptoms and necropsy findings, the animals were diagnosed with abomasal impaction. Result and discussion - The body temperature, heart rate and respiratory frequency of the animals, which were slightly dehydrated, were within the normal ranges. Abdominal auscultation revealed reduced rumen contractions and bowel sounds were not heard. On palpation of the right abdominal wall, a large and hard mass was detected, while percussion was associated with a moaning sound. Post-mortem examination revealed the presence of a blood-tinged, dry abomasal content of hard consistency, composed of roughage and foreign substances, including soil, sand and gravel. Conclusion - In animals given feed and water containing mud or sand, sand may accumulate in the abomasum and lead to fatal impaction cases, resulting in significant economic losses. Animals displaying signs of chronic weight loss, ruminal tympany and constipation are recommended to be evaluated for abomasal impaction.Öğe The Efficacy of Tarantula cubensis Extract (Theranekron) in Treatment of Canine Oral Papillomatosis(Academic Journals Inc, 2011) Icen, H.; Sekin, S.; Simsek, A.; Kochan, A.; Tunik, S.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Tarantula cubensis extract (Theranekron, Richter Pharma, Austria) applied on canine oral papillomatosis. A total of 10 dogs brought from dogs shelter to the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Dicle Turkey and aged between 7 and 36 months were used in this study.

Regression of papillomas was observed after the beginning of treatment in second week. At the end of the third week 7 dogs recovered. The treatment continued on 3 dogs for two more weeks after which there was complete resolution of the lesion. Tarantula cubensis extract applications therefore seemed to be effective in the treatment of canine oral papillomatosis.Öğe Prevalence of Dirofilaria immitis, Ehrlichia canis, Borrelia burgdorferi Infection in Dogs from Diyarbakir in Turkey(Academic Journals Inc, 2011) Icen, H.; Sekin, S.; Simsek, A.; Kochan, A.; Celik, O. Y.; Altas, M.
