Extraordinary Anggik!
Welcome to my world. Enjoy! ^^
Post ini dibuat karena beberapa hari yang lalu, seorang kakak tingkat yang sudah menjalani pendidikan profesi menceritakan pertanyaan ujian lisannya. ” Ditanyain Pediculus apa yang ada di monyet masa’, Dek!” ungkapnya pada aku dan Gege suka Dancow yang kebetulan menyatroni lab parasit.
Toxoplasma gondii from Intraperitoneal liquid of mice…

This poor, poor dog — she and her penmate got into a fight, and the other dog practically gave her an episiotomy. The bite wound extended from her vulva to just below her anus. She also had a small cut on her anus that required stitching, and several other small puncture wounds all around her hindquarters and belly. And she was wagging her tail when her distraught owner brought her in O.O
We anesthetized her and cleaned the wounds as best we could. Then Dr. H— placed a drain and sutured up the main wound and the small cut on her anus. The other wounds were left open to heal by second intention. We sent her home with an e-collar, antibiotics, and pain meds.
Unfortunately she came back two days later because (surprise!) a beagle figured out how to unlatch her e-collar, then chewed out her own drain. So Dr. L— fixed it, reinforced her e-collar with duct tape, and sent her on her way again. That did the trick, and she recovered fully :)

This is the first bear to ever have brain surgery
A three-year-old Asiatic Black bear named Champa has just undergone successful surgery to remove a buildup of water in her brain. It marks the first time in medical history that a bear has been given such a procedure.
Champa has lived most of her life at a northern Laos sanctuary run by Free the Bears, an Australian conservation group that protects bears from wildlife traffickers. Asiatic Black bears are hunted for their bile — a valuable ingredient in traditional Chinese and Korean medicine.
She was rescued when still a cub, but Champa’s handlers soon noticed she had a protruding forehead and had difficulty socializing with other bears. Eventually, the growth slowed, but her behavior became increasingly erratic and her vision faded.
Veterinarians diagnosed her as having hydrocephalus — water on the brain.
Because it’s against Buddhist tradition to euthanize animals, the sanctuary staff arranged for a specialist, Romain Pizzi, to perform a technique called “keyhole” or laparoscopic surgery in which a small incision is made with the help of a small camera.
And indeed, Champa was in good hands; Pizzi has performed similar surgeries on other nonhuman animals, including seals, reindeer, and jaguars. In preparation, Pizzi talked to pediatric surgeons, studied bear skulls and brains, and looked at the brains of a hydrocephalic otter and fox.
The procedure lasted six hours (details here). At one point a medical pump short-circuited on account of the high humidity, and Pizzi had to resort to a mattress pump to keep the bear’s abdomen inflated.
Soon after the surgery, Champa could finally raise her head to look directly at sanctuary staff. Though they can’t be entirely certain, the staff also suspects that her vision has improved. But her headaches appear to be gone, she’s gained weight, and she’s now more sociable with other bears.

This cat has a severe Sporothrix infection. Sporothrix is a fungal organism that can infect many different species. In humans this disease is known as Rose Gardener’s disease because it can be spread via rose thorn punctures. There are three forms of the disease: cutaneous, pulmonary, and disseminated. In humans the disease can be treated with anti-fungal medications.
Cats are unique because they usually have quite severe infections and act as amplifiers of the disease. They are constantly shedding organisms from open wounds and can infect other animals as well as human beings. Unfortunately this is a very difficult disease to treat in cats and because it is zoonotic the best course of action is usually euthanasia.
This cat had disseminated disease. Its skin was ulcerated severely and on the front left foot so much tissue had sloughed that the carpal bones could be seen. Radiographs showed that the lungs were full of the fungus. Euthanasia was elected as the most humane treatment.
