    Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the presence of bacterial translocation (BT) in cats undergoing laparotomy procedures for pathologies that are thought to increase intra-abdominal pressure or pressurize the intestinal wall. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five cats were evaluated that refered to Selcuk University Animal Hospital for laparotomy after the clinical, laboratory, ultrasonographic and radiographic examinations. Sterile swab samples were taken from the peritoneal fluid and an appropriate mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) immediately after reaching the abdominal region during the laparatomy. Identification of bacterial strains was carried out and bacterial spectra were analyzed. Antibiotic resistance of bacterial strains was determined by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Results: BT was diagnosed in 4 (16%) of 25 cats as a result of deteriorated intestinal perfusion due to foreign body. It was determined that 2 of the BT were isolated from swap samples taken from only MLNs and 2 of them were isolated from swap samples taken from both the peritoneal cavity and MLNs. It was determined that 50% of the bacteria growing in the peritoneum were E. faecalis (n=2) and 50% were E. faecium. It was determined that the bacteria growing in the MLNs formed P. fluorescens and E. faecalis. Conclusion: BT should be considered in the presence of pathologies that affect intra-abdominal pressure or affect the intestinal wall. It is thought that the suspicion of bacterial translocation should increase in pathologies that directly affectthe intestinal wall. Itis thoughtthatthe use of specific antibiotics will be more positive in terms of prognosis by performing an antibiogram.

    The first case of traumatic myiasis caused by Musca domestica in a dog in Konya, Turkey
    (SCIENTIFIC TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL TURKEY-TUBITAK, 2018) Dik, Bilal; Ilhan, Ceylan; Ceylan, Onur; Uzunlu, Elgin Orcum
    A case of traumatic myiasis caused by the Musca domestica (Linnaeus 1758) housefly was detected in a dog in Konya, Turkey. A 4-year-old Kangal breed dog injured in a traffic accident was brought to the surgery clinic of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Selkirk University in Konya, Turkey for treatment. Several dipterous larvae were collected from the wound of the dog, placed in a petri dish with 70% ethanol, and sent to the parasitology laboratory for identification. The larvae were examined macroscopically. The specimens were identified as third-instar larvae of M. domestica. This is the first report of traumatic myiasis caused by M. domestica in a dog in Turkey.

    Lipid-laden aqueous humor in a cat
    (KAFKAS UNIV, VETERINER FAKULTESI DERGISI, 2018) Arican, Mustafa; Parlak, Kurtulus; Uzunlu, Elgin Orcum
    This case report describes the clinical findings in a 5 years old neutered female cat presented with sudden onset of binocular blindness with cloudy appearance in both eyes. Systematic eye examination was performed after the anamnesis. Only intraocular pressure was increased in right eye. The examination of iris was not properly due to the opacity of humor aquosus. Liver function was checked in terms of diabetes and pancreatitis. Cholesterol and triglyceride levels were increased in blood analysis. The diagnosis was hyperlipidemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Dexamethasone (0.5 mg/kg) was applied to the subconjunctivaly; dexamethasone 0.196 w/v opthalmic solution drops (6 times in a day) and low-fat diet were recommended in the continuation of the treatment. The patient was immediately responded to the treatment within 36 hours. Aqueosus humor reached clear structure in both eyes. A visual activity was improve in the eyes. Post-operatively, the case was followed for 8 months. There were no complications encountered. This report is to contribute to increased awareness regarding the some ocular complications following diet programmes. In addition, the use of steroid ophthalmic solutions along with a diet program in the treatment protocol will accelerate the healing process quickly.
