“…Occasionally more than one ulcer type occurs at the same time. 13 Ty pe-1 abomasal ulcer is an erosion or a non-perforated ulcer accompanied by minimal haemorrhage. Type 2 ulcer is associated with severe intraluminal haemorrhage because of erosion of a large blood vessel, and type-3 ulcer is perforated and characterised by localised peritonitis.…”

This study involved 60 cows aged 1.9 to 13 years (mean 4.8 ± 2.3 years) with type-3 abomasal ulcer. The most common clinical signs were, in decreasing order of frequency, partial or complete anorexia (98%), obtunded demeanour (95%), decreased skin surface temperature (78%), congested scleral vessels (73%), abdominal guarding (61%), tachypnoea (58%), fever (58%) and tachycardia (55%). One or more concomitant disorders were diagnosed in 86% of the cows. The most common abnormal laboratory findings were hypokalaemia (75%), shortened glutaraldehyde test time (46%) and hyperfibrinogenaemia (43%). The diagnosis of type-3 abomasal ulcer was made in all cows during laparotomy and/or at postmortem examination. Forty-eight (80%) cows were euthanased immediately after the initial examination, during laparotomy or after unsuccessful treatment. Twelve (20%) cows were treated with a solution of sodium chloride and glucose administered via an indwelling jugular catheter, antibiotics, metamizole or flunixin, and discharged from the clinic. Ten cows were still in production two years later.

“…U3 is a perforated ulcer accompanied by localised peritonitis, U4 is a perforated ulcer characterised by generalised peritonitis and U5 is an ulcer that has perforated into the omental bursa causing omental bursitis. Sometimes more than one type of abomasal ulcer occurs in the same cow [9]. The clinical findings of cows with TRP [10], U1 [11], U2 [12], U3 [13], U4 [14] and U5 [8] were recently described in detail, and overviews of older studies of cows with TRP [10] and of cows with abomasal ulcer [11] were also reported.…”

Diagnostic reliability of clinical signs in cows with traumatic reticuloperitonitis and abomasal ulcers

et al. 2020

Background Clinical signs of traumatic reticuloperitonitis and abomasal ulcer are often similar making the disorders difficult to differentiate. The goal of our study was to compare the frequency of individual clinical signs of cows with traumatic reticuloperitonitis and cows with abomasal ulcers and determine their diagnostic significance. The frequency of the findings “rectal temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, demeanour, signs of colic, arched back, abdominal guarding, bruxism, scleral vessels, rumen motility, foreign body tests, percussion auscultation, swinging auscultation and faecal colour” of cows with traumatic reticuloperitonitis (TRP, n = 503) and cows with type 1 (U1, n = 94), type 2 (U2, n = 145), type 3 (U3, n = 60), type 4 (U4, n = 87) and type 5 (U5, n = 14) abomasal ulcer were compared, and the reliability indices “diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, positive and negative predictive values and positive likelihood ratio” were calculated. A total of 182 healthy cows served as controls (control group). Results None of the cows in the control group had colic, rumen atony or melena, 99% had no abnormalities in demeanor and appetite and did not have a rectal temperature of ≤38.6 or > 40.0 °C, a heart rate > 100 bpm or a respiratory rate > 55 breaths per min, and 95% did not have an arched back or bruxism. The control group was therefore ideal for comparative purposes. Many signs such as mild increase in rectal temperature, scleral congestion and positive foreign body test were non-diagnostic because they occurred in healthy as well as in ill cows. Likewise, differentiation of cows with TRP and abomasal ulcer was not possible based on single clinical variables; a detailed history and a comprehensive assessment of all clinical findings were required for this. Conclusions The findings of the present study serve as a guide for the veterinarian in the differentiation of cows with traumatic reticuloperitonitis and abomasal ulcer.

“…As a result of the complications of the conservative methods, its unacceptability by many owners, and its failure to solve the problem, surgical intervention became the most reliable radical solution for preventing self-suckling behavior in cattle ( Abou-El-Ella, 1999 ; Bademkiran et al., 2006 ). Unfortunately limited techniques were established to correct such behavioural disorder and their main idea is to prevent cupping of the dorsum of the tongue to eliminate the ability of animals to suck teats ( Bademkiran et al., 2006 ; Ducharme et al., 2017 ; El-Sherif, 2018 ; Kersjes, Nemeth & Rutgers, 1984 ; McCormack, 1976 ).…”
