 What is cryptorchidism? Cryptorchidism refers to the failure of one or both testicles (testes) to descend into the scrotum. Cryptorchidism is much less common in cats than in dogs. The testes develop near the kidneys within the abdomen and normally descend into the scrotum by two months of age. This may occur later in some cats, but rarely after six months of age. Cryptorchidism may be presumed to be present if the testicles cannot be felt in the scrotum after two to four months of age.

  Rumi is 4 months old cat had limping from front paw on the day of examination, fixed this metacarpal fracture by splinting. After X-ray was conducted in the time of 30 days  • METACARPAL BONES The metacarpal bones are the bones on the forelimb of the cat that connect the carpus to the phalanges. There are five metacarpal bones on each limb, with the major weight bearing bones being the central metacarpal bones three and four. • X-ray will be the good tool for fracture diagnosis. • There are two common options to treat metacarpal fracture i.e surgical & non surgical. • Non invasive procedure with splinting  • Invasive procedure with IM pinning is common among others. • Cage rest & painkillers are good for post operative care  #veterinarysurgeon

 Anisocoria Anisocoria is a condition in which the pupils of the cat's eyes are different sizes; in other words, one pupil is larger than the other one. In cats, the pupil is an elliptically-shaped opening in the middle of the iris that allows light to pass through the eye to the retina. The pupil constricts or dilates (enlarges) according to the amount of light that enters the eyes, with both pupils normally dilating in dim light and constricting in bright light. Anisocoria is a sign of a disease of condition, therefore there can be several different causes, including: • Corneal injury such as an ulcer • Disease or injury to the brain or to the nerves tissues • Glaucoma (the pupil in the affected eye will be dilated) • Uveitis (the pupil in the affected eye will usually be constricted) • Retinal disease • Scar tissue formation between the iris and the lens (called posterior synechia) • Iris atrophy (Congenital defect of the iris, in which the iris tissue does not develop properly)...

  The autoimmune disease has primary lesions are superficial pustules, which frequently rupture to form crusts with underlying erosions. In cats, lesions most frequently develop at or around the nasal planum and muzzle, pinnae (See Figure above, Classic pattern of feline pemphigus foliaceus with adherent crusts around the face, dorsal muzzle, periorbital region, and pinnae). Thickly crusted and erythematous, Excessive scaling of the footpads with crusts adherent to the footpad margins and nails. Pathophysiology ; The feline pemphigus foliaceus involves development of autoantibodies, which produce a loss of intercellular adhesion in the upper layers of the stratum corneum (acantholysis). This leads to vesicle and pustule formation. Genetics, drugs and other factors are known triggers for antikeratinocyte autoantibody induction. Diagnosis;  Cytologic examination of pustule contents may provide a tentative diagnosis based on the presence of neutrophils and large rounded (acanthol...
