“…But on the contrary, the total protein concentration was within the normal reference range (5.7-8.1 g/dL). Albumin level was towards the lower side of the reference range and resembled earlier findings in diffuse peritonitis of buffaloes [5]. There could be two possible reasons for lower total protein and albumin.…”

“…So, pregnancy seemed to be a greater risk factor than recent calving in the present study. The clinical findings were nonspecific and resembled other abdominal disorders like traumatic reticuloperitonitis, abomasal ulceration, and reticular diaphragmatic hernia [4,26,27], but were similar to published findings in cattle and buffaloes [5,11,28]. It is important to mention that the signs of complete anorexia, colic, tympany, loss of defecation, depression, dehydration, tachycardia, and tachypnoea were less pronounced than reported for peritonitis in cattle [11].…”

“…All owners gave their consent for the animals to be included in the study and undergo the testing procedures. The diagnosis of peritonitis was made based on clinical examination and peritoneal fluid examination [5,11]. Before predicting the diagnosis, traumatic reticuloperitonitis and perforated abomasal ulcer were ruled out by physical examination and other ancillary tests like radiography and ultrasonography.…”

Background: The present study aimed to describe clinical findings, hemato-biochemical changes, response to medical treatment, and outcomes for buffaloes suffering from peritonitis. Another objective of this study was to determine the prognosis of the disease. Methods: The study was conducted on 25 buffaloes suffering from peritonitis and presented to the Large Animal Hospital of Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Science University, Ludhiana, Punjab, India. The buffaloes were subjected to detailed clinical examination. Hematological, biochemical, and peritoneal fluid analysis was carried out along with treatment. Results: Peritonitis was more prevalent in pregnant buffaloes, being septic peritonitis in 60% of cases. The important clinical findings were depression, anorexia, reduced water intake, scanty feces, dehydration, and absence of rumen motility. The hematological findings were hemoconcentration, left shift, and toxic changes in neutrophils. Biochemical analysis revealed increased total bilirubin, AST, ALP, GGT, glucose, triglycerides, BUN, creatinine, lactate, fibrinogen, and rumen chloride, whereas albumin, fibrinogen ratio, potassium, chloride, calcium, and phosphorus were decreased. Abnormal peritoneal fluid changes were altered physical parameters and the presence of degenerated neutrophils, bacteria, and gut contents. Nucleated cell count and total peritoneal fluid protein were not reliable indicators of peritonitis. The absence of rumen motility, marked left shift, toxic changes in neutrophils, higher BUN, lower potassium (≤3.6 mmol/L), and unfavorable peritoneal fluid changes were the negative prognostic signs. Treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics and supportive therapy led to a recovery in about 50 percent of cases, with diffuse peritonitis cases being unresponsive. Long time survival rate was good, and there was no recurrence. Conclusion: The prognosis of peritonitis in buffaloes has to be precisely assessed on the basis of clinical, hemato-biochemical, and peritoneal fluid alterations. Standard classification of transudate and exudate did not apply in the majority of buffaloes with peritonitis.

“…All affected buffaloes suffered from anorexia, recurring tympany, ruminal atony, scanty hard or mucoid soft stool, abdominal pain and regurgitation of food. These clinical symptoms were almost identical to those of acute local peritonitis in buffaloes as described by (Elgioushy et al, 2019). In this study, gastrointestinal disturbances in animals with rumino-cutaneous fistulation could have been due to the accumulation of frothy tympany or indigestible food materials in the cranial sac of rumen, which could trigger the hypothalamus satiety center that controls feeding behavior (Ghurashi et al, 2009; Aref and Abdel-Hakiem, 2013).…”

One of the most prevalent postoperative complications following rumenotomy is ruminocutaneous fistulation, which can cause significant economic issue in ruminant. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical, hematobiochemical, and ultrasonographic variations in rumino-cutaneous fistulation before and after surgical correction in buffaloes. Five buffaloes with rumino-cutaneous fistulation and five clinically healthy buffaloes were evaluated in this study. Buffaloes with rumino-cutaneous fistulation exhibited reduced appetite, decreased rumen motility, scanty feces, and significant alterations in hematobiochemical parameters compared with clinically healthy control buffaloes. Ultrasonographically, buffaloes with rumino-cutaneous fistulation displayed a significantly lower rate of rumen contractions and a substantial increase in the thickness of ruminal and abdominal walls. Significant postoperative improvement in clinical, hematobiochemical and ultrasonographic parameters in affected buffaloes was noted. In conclusion, rumino-cutaneous fistula is a common surgical complication of rumenotomy and rumen trocarization in buffaloes. Surgical interference by excision of fistulous tract is satisfied for treatment. Ultrasonographic, clinical and hematobiochemical examinations are essential for the proper assessment of rumino-cutaneous fistulation before and after surgical correction in buffaloes.

“…Perforating abomasal ulcers are considered as the most common cause of omental bursitis and peritonitis. Diffuse peritonitis in ruminants is regarded as a potential fatal inflammation as well as the most common cause of peritonitis-related death worldwide (Elgioushy et al 2019). Both groups of diseased buffaloes examined in the present study exhibited common signs including altered appetite, scanty feces, mild abdominal distension, dehydration, rumen hypomotility or stasis and systemic disturbances.…”

Abomasal ulcers are difficult to diagnose clinically with limited therapeutic approach to combat the disease. Omental bursitis (OB) and local peritonitis (LP) are known sequelae of abomasal ulcer in cows. In this study, differentiation between OB and LP in regard to clinical symptoms, biochemical analyses and the response to treatment in Buffaloes was done. Twenty buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) were admitted with a history of intermittent appetite, wasting and mild abdominal distension during the period between March 2016 and August 2018. All cases were female (12 recently calved, 2 pregnant, 6 non-pregnant) aging from 3 to 9 years and weighing 350-600 kg. For comparison, 10 apparently healthy non-pregnant female buffaloes were used as controls. Abdominal ultrasonography confirmed the presence of 11 OB and 9 LP in admitted cases. Laboratory analysis revealed hyperproteinemia and hypoalbuminemia in OB. Hypokalemia and hypochloremia were detected in both OB and LP. Ultrasonography showed hypo-anechoic content with echoic stippling surrounded by echogenic wall in OB, whereas echogenic strands interspersed with anechoic fluid was reported in LP. Intra-lesional lavage by normal saline was applied several times under ultrasongraphic guidance followed by gentamicin 10% intramuscular and H2 antagonist intravenous for 5 days as well as parenteral and enteral fluid therapy. Seven cases of OB clinically improved, whereas no improvements were found in LP cases. OB secondary to abomasal ulcer has a good prognosis in contrast to LP. Ultrasonography provides a useful diagnostic tool and therapeutic guidance for such diseases. ARTICLE HISTORY
