Repair of femoral and humeral fractures in adult cattle.

Humeral or femoral fractures in 4 adult bullocks were successfully repaired with Kuntschner clover leaf nails. Animals responded favorably to surgery and physiotherapy, including massage and planned exercise. Follow-up for 1 year revealed near-normal gait and restored utility. The significance of postoperative management, especially of physiotherapy, is stressed.

Case report: Abomasal involvement in bovine diaphragmatic hernia and surgical management.

Two rare cases of internal herenia in bovines (Bubalus bubalis), in which reticulum and abomasum had herniated into the thoracic cavity, were successfully treated. Involvement of abomasum did not exhibit any additional symptoms other than those commonly observed in cases where only reticulum is herniated. The term diaphragmatic hernia has been considered appropriate for this condition by the present authors.

Coulter S hematocrit and microhematocrit in polycythemic patients.

Falsely high microhematocrits are found when compared to Coulter S hematocrit levels. This increase is exaggerated when hematocrit levels are increased and the cells are hypochromic and microcytic. Polycythemic patients monitored with microhematocrits may be phlebotomized incorrectly because of this abnormality. We suggest the use of Coulter S hematocrits or spectrophotometric hemoglobin levels to monitor polycythemic patients.

Treatment of diaphragmatic hernia in buffaloes.

The surgical treatment of diaphragmatic hernia attempted on 19 lactating buffaloes is described. Thirteen cases recovered uneventfully, 1 recovered after developing brisket oedema and 5 died, 3 during surgery and 2 postoperatively. The desired depth of anaesthesia was achieved by the administration of 6% chloral hydrate followed by 5% thiopentone sodium. A postxiphoid approach and the use of a continuous lock stitch suture were preferred to repair the vent in the diaphragm. Pre- and post-operative use of hydrocortisones and fluids and sufficient tissue oxygenation by controlled positive pressure respiration are believed to be keys to the success of the treatment adopted.
