Blackleg, also known as black quarter, is a severe infectious disease affecting mainly pastured cattle and occasionally sheep worldwide. Blackleg is caused by the bacterium Clostridium chauvoei and it leads to myonecrosis with high mortality rates, particularly in young animals. Clinical signs include: - High fever - Depression (refusal to eat, lethargy) - Subcutaneous gas edema - Rapid death The pathogenesis involves ingestion of spores from the soil, which remain latent in muscles until activated by trauma or ischemia, causing necrosis and toxin release. Diagnosis is challenging. In the live animal a preliminary diagnosis of blackleg can be made based on clinical signs and the presence of typical muscle emphysema. Treatment options are limited: Prevention through vaccination may be the primary strategy. Treatment with antimicrobials (drug of choice being procaine penicillin) around affected tissues, aggressive surgical debridement to allow aeration along with supportive treatment can be of value too.

Feline heartworm disease (FHW) is a serious and potentially fatal disease caused by heartworms that can affect cats. Early detection of FHW is critical for effective treatment, and the FHW Antigen Rapid Test Cassette is an effective and convenient tool for detecting the presence of FHW antigens. 🐱Symptoms of FHW in cats include coughing, vomiting, weight loss, and difficulty breathing. Preventative measures for FHW include administering monthly heartworm prevention medication, keeping cats indoors to limit their exposure to mosquitoes, and regular testing to detect the presence of FHW antigens. The FHW Antigen Rapid Test Cassette is a simple and reliable diagnostic tool that uses a sandwich lateral flow immunochromatographic assay to detect FHW antigens in feline whole blood, serum, or plasma. It is easy to perform and provides results within just 5-10 minutes, making it a useful tool for veterinarians. #feline #cat #pet #heartworm #animal #animaldisease #diagnosis #management #rapidtest
