    (Ankara Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi, 2022) Sevim, Kadir; Veteriner; Veteriner Fakültesi
    Interest in green iguanas (Iguana iguana) as pet animals is increasing day by day. Compared to other pet animals, the diagnosis and treatment methods of reptilian diseases are limited. Considering that these diseases will also concern public health, new research is required. Hirstiellosis is a zoonotic ectoparasitic disease seen in green iguanas (Iguana iguana). Recommended therapies are mostly empirical, some of which can be low-impact or toxic. The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of ivermectin solution (5 mg/l) in the treatment of hirstiellosis and to provide preliminary data for further studies. Ivermectin solution was found to be effective in the treatment of three iguanas with the aforementioned disease, and no clinical side effects were found in the control examinations made at regular intervals.

    (Ankara Üniversitesi, 2021-06-30) Sevim, Kadir; Çolakoğlu, Ekrem Çağatay; Veteriner Fakültesi
    Feline dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a rare disease characterized by myocardial failure and systolic dysfunction. Taurine deficiency is the most important cause of DCM phenotype in cats. A 2 year-old Scottish fold and a 8 month-old domestic shorthair cat were referred to hospital with anorexia, weakness and increased respiratory effort. Based on electrocardiographic, radiographic and echocardiographic findings, the both cases were diagnosed with DCM. The cases were managed with pimobendan, furosemide, acetylsalicylic acid and taurine. The cats were more active and clinically healthy during 15 days follow-up. No remarkable changes were observed in follow up echocardiographies. The cases presented here reflect the clinical signs, cardiological examination findings, diagnosis and management of idiopathic DCMin 2 cats.
