Infection of wounds in dogs and cats with enterobacteria from the genus Klebsiella spp. are rare in clinical practice. A female, Bull Terrier was brought to the veterinary clinic "BLvet" Banja Luka at the age of 8 months. Аccording to the owner, the dog was operated in another clinic and a several weeks later they noticed an abundant nasal discharge. Clinical examination revealed that the general condition of the dog was unchanged. There was a noticeable abundant purulent discharge, light-green in color with food remains from the nostrils. In the oral cavity, a foul breath - foetor ex ore was registered. By examining the oral cavity, a fresh-infected wound on the hard palate was visible. The wound healing was difficult due to the present infection, leaving the edges of the palate wound unattached. Only after taking a swab of the bottom of the wound, it could be noticed that this was an active suppurative process. Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated from the wound of the dog's palate.

This paper describes the occurrence of verminous bronchopneumoniain a domestic cat caused by the lung nematode Aelurostrongylus abstrusus (Railliet,1898).The male cat showed some of the signs of respiratory distress in earlier clinicalexaminations, but the definitive diagnosis was not made. Since the cat has been inpoor condition, a coprological examination was recommended. After coprologicaldiagnostics and findings of larval stage of parasite A. abstrusus, clinical examinationand radiology of thorax was repeated, and therapy were applied. Based on additionalanalysis, a chronic aelurostrongylosis was recorded. This is the first description ofaelurostrongylosis in cats in Republika Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina, whichpoints to the need that routine coprological examinations must be carried out indaily veterinary practice.

This paper describes a case of generalized sarcoptic mange (Sarcoptes scabiei) in a stray dog found in the Kotor Varoš Municipality. Clinical and dermatological examinations revealed the suspicion of Sarcoptic mange in the dog, which was confirmed by the finding of eggs and adult forms of Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis. As a secondary complication of mange, the presence of staphylococcal pyotraumatic folliculitis was determined. Hematological examination revealed anemia and leukocytosis. In basic therapy, 0.4 mg/kg of ivermectin was administered parenterally, with cephalexin administered orally at a dose of 40 mg/kg every 12 hours. The therapy lasted 30 days. Control examinations did not reveal parasitic elements in the scraped surface layer of the skin. In the discussion of this paper, the epizootiological characteristics of the disease and the list of dog`s skin diseases, that should be distinguished from sarcoptic mange in everyday practice, are presented.

This report describes a case of autochthonous canine angiostrongylosis in a mixed-breed dog in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The owner not?d the dog had lost appetite and weight, accompanied by a non-productive and intermittent cough. Physical examination revealed increased bronchovesicular pulmonary sounds and a caudally expanded lung field. Haematological parameters suggested mild dehydration in the dog. Radiological examination of the dog?s thorax showed a mild bronchointerstitial pattern with alveolar patches in the cardiac lobes. Coprological examination revealed the first stage (L1) Angiostrongylus vasorum larvae (Baillet, 1866). The dog was treated with two doses of 0.4 mg/kg of ivermectin administered subcutaneously with a time interval of 21 days between the two applications. Five weeks after the initial diagnosis, a repeated coprological examination revealed no evidence of L1 A. vasorum larvae in the dog?s faeces. This case report confirms the presence of A. vasorum in a dog from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
