| dc.description.abstract | Ethiopia has huge number of livestock population but couldn‘t earn much from the sector. One of the bottlenecks, for the lesser degree of gain from the sector, is disease of animals. So this thesis was done with the objective of clinical case study on major diseases of veterinary importance in Bishoftu town Ethiopia. The study was conducted from September 2017 to June 2018 in clinics found in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture, and Ada‘a district veterinary clinic. From the retrospective data of the aforementioned clinics, the most frequently occurred diseases during the past five years were first identified and patients that were coming to the clinics during the study period with the listed out type of disease were purposively sampled, diagnosed, treated and followed up for months until the final outcome of the condition. Twenty cases were studied and compiled following the scientific case publishing format where summary, literature review, case history, clinical examination and findings, tentative diagnosis, sample collection, laboratory diagnosis and result, treatment and outcome of the disease were briefly recorded. The findings of each case were finally discussed in relation to the findings on other literature and scientific publications. The twenty compiled case studies include seven cases on cattle (Actinomycosis, Blackleg, Colisepticemia, Navel ill, Lumpy Skin Disease, Mastitis and Parafilariosis), six cases on equines (African Horse Sickness, Epizootic Lymphangitis, Grain overload, Rabies, Strangles and Tetanus), two cases on small ruminants (Goat pox and Coccidiosis), three cases on poultry (Collibacillosis, Newcastle and Salmonellosis) and two cases on canine (Canine Parvovirus and Flea allergy dermatitis). So confirming diagnosis based on laboratory findings is recommended to initiate effective treatment and control measures which safeguards the health and welfare of treated animal and reduces the spread of infection to other animals or, in the case of zoonotic disease, to humans. | en_US |
