| dc.description.abstract | Livestock is an indispensable component of Ethiopian agriculture, with live animals and their byproducts contributing approximately 40% of the agricultural economy. Disease significantly impacts livestock productivity by reducing growth rates, reproductive performance, and milk production while increasing mortality rates and economic losses. Surgical interventions play a critical role in treating various diseases and conditions in livestock, thereby enhancing their health, productivity, and overall well-being. Complications following surgery at the incision site can include swelling, local infection, sinus formation around sutures, hematoma (blood accumulation), drainage from the incision site, incisional opening (dehiscence), and hernia formation. The present case report was compiled between September 2023 and May 2024 GC aimed to document a variety of surgical conditions affecting different body systems in domestic animals. The cases were referred to or directly presented to esteemed institutions such as Professor Fiseha Gebreab Memorial Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad, Donkey Sanctuary Veterinary Clinic, and Amanuel Veterinary Clinic located in Dire. The objective was to analyze the outcomes of these surgical interventions, their procedures and encountered complications. All the cases presented in this study were thoroughly examined to determine the organ or system that was affected. The animal's medical history, clinical observations, and laboratory results were meticulously documented in the patient record format. Animals with urgent surgical conditions underwent premedication, aseptic preparation, and anesthesia. They subsequently received specific surgical treatment and corrections, followed by adequate postoperative care and routine follow-up. A total of twenty-one cases were handled, 13 out of 21 (61.90%) were large animals and 8 out of 21(38.01%) were small animals. 4 out of 21 (19.05%) cases died, while 17 out of 21 (80. 95%) animals recovered. Continued research and detailed documentation of surgical cases should be encouraged to build a robust database of case studies that can serve as valuable references for veterinary practitioners | |
