Microbiological Analysis of Acute Mastitis in a Van Cat

Bu olgunun materyalini Van Kedisi Araştırma Merkezi'nde yetiştirilen 7 yaşında 2.3 kg ağırlığında yeni doğum yapmış bir Van kedisi oluşturmuştur. Kedinin son iki gün içerisinde iştahsız olduğu, keyifsiz ve halsiz bir şekilde uzun süre yattığı bilgisi ile birlikte yapılan muayenede sol ikinci memede akut seyirli bir yangının olduğu memenin şiştiği, serleştiği, şiddetli ağrı ve meme ucundan başlayarak dokuya doğru yayılmış tarzda morarmanın olduğu izlendi. Hastaya akut mastitis tanısı konuldu. Sütte yapılan mikrobiyolojik muayene sonucunda Escherichia coli ve Staphylococcus simulans izole ve identifiye edildi

Bir Van Kedisinde Görülen Akut Mastitisin Mikrobiyolojik Analizi

In this case report, a 7-year-old female Van cat of 2.3 kg weight, bred and given birth in the Van Cat Research Center, is presented. There was a two day history of inappetence and fatigue, along with lying without movement for long. Our physical examination showed an acute inflammation accompanied by swelling, severe pain and hardness in the left caudal thoracic mamma, in addition to a bruise starting from the nipple and extending to the rest of the tissue. The cat was diagnosed with mastitis. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus simulans were identified after the microbiological analysis of the milk from the affected breast
