Abstract

A two-day-old, male Holstein calf was presented with a history of anorexia, abdominal distension and pain, inability to urinate and defecate. In physical examination, depression, recumbency, dehydration, weak sucking reflex, abdominal distension accompanied by pain and fluctuation were found in the calf. Furthermore, mucous membranes were pale and capillary refill time was 5 seconds. Laboratory findings revealed sepsis and deficiency of the some minerals. However, the calf died right after clinical and laboratory examination. Necropsy showed a rough and solid formation in jejunum as well as abomasitis, local ulcer and erosions on the abomasal mucosa. As a result of these findings, abomasal ulcer and jejunal ileus caused by trichobezoar was diagnosed in the calf

Abstract

İki günlük erkek Holstein ırkı bir buzağı iştahsızlık, abdominal gerginlik ve ağrı, idrar ve dışkı yapamama anamneziyle getirildi. Fiziksel muayenede buzağıda depresyon, yan yatma, dehidrasyon, zayıf emme refleksi, ağrı ve fluktuasyonla birlikte abdominal gerginlik görüldü. Bundan başka, mukozal membran rengi solgundu ve kapillar dolum zamanı 5 saniyeydi. Laboratuar bulgularında sepsis ve bazı minerallerde eksiklik gözlendi. Ancak, klinik ve laboratuar muayenelerinin hemen sonrasında buzağı öldü. Nekropsi, abomasum mukozası üzerinde abomasitis, local ülser ve erozyon ile birlikte jejunumda sert ve kitlesel bir yapıyı gösterdi. Bu bulguların sonucu olarak, buzağıda trikobezoar nedenli abomasum ülseri ve jejuneum ileusu tanısı konuldu
