The aim of this study is to reveal the clinical, hematological, blood gases and biochemical parameters in calves with sepsis in different conditions in terms of standing ability and laterally recumbency. 30 calves, aged 1-30 days, diagnosed with sepsis were used in the study. The calves in the study were divided into two groups. Group A consisted of 14 calves with sepsis who were in a sternal recumbency position and could stand up only with assistance. Group B consisted of 16 calves with sepsis who were in a lateral recumbency position and could not stand up even with help. After clinical examination, blood samples were taken from the calves for blood gas, hematological and biochemical analyses. It was determined that none of the calves in group B, which lateral recumbency, had a sucking reflex except two, seven calves experienced complete loss of consciousness, and four calves died during the treatment process. Among the calves in group A, which tended to sternal recumbency, it was determined that eight calves did not have a sucking reflex, all of them were conscious, and four calves died during the treatment process. It was determined that metabolic acidosis (low pH, HCO3 and BE) was more severe (p<0.05) and capillary refill time was significantly prolonged in the calves with lateral recumbency that could not stand, compared to calves that could stand or were in sternal recumbency. As a result, it has been revealed that the evaluation of the recumbency position (sternal/lateral) in calves with sepsis can be an important criterion as an indicator of the general health status of the animals and the severity of metabolic acidosis.

Sepsisli neonatal buzağılarda fiziksel durum ile kan parametrelerinin değerleri arasındaki ilişki

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, ayakta durabilme yeteneği ve yerde yatma şekli açısından farklı durumdaki sepsisli buzağılarda klinik, hematolojik, kan gazları ve biyokimyasal parametreleri ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmada sepsis tanısı konulan 1-30 günlük 30 adet buzağı kullanıldı. Çalışmadaki buzağılar iki gruba ayrıldı. A grubunu sternal yatış pozisyonunda ve yardımla ayağa kalkabilen 14 sepsisli buzağı; B grubu ise lateral yatış pozisyonunda olup yardımla bile ayağa kalkamayan 16 sepsisli buzağıdan oluştu. Buzağılardan klinik muayene sonrası kan gazları, hematolojik ve biyokimyasal analizler için kan örnekleri alındı. Lateral yatış gösteren B grubunda yalnızca iki buzağıda emme refleksi vardı. Yedi buzağıda tam bilinç kaybı gözlenmiş, dört buzağı ise tedavi tamamlanmadan ölmüştür. Sternal yatış eğilimi gösteren A grubundaki buzağılarda ise sekiz buzağıda emme refleksinin olmadığı, hepsinin bilinçlerinin yerinde olduğu ve dört buzağının tedavi tamamlanmadan öldüğü belirlendi. Ayakta duramayan lateral yatıştaki buzağılarda, ayakta durabilen buzağılara göre metabolik asidozun (düşük pH, HCO3 ve BE) daha şiddetli olduğu (p<0.05) ve kapiller geri dolum süresinin de önemli düzeyde uzadığı tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak, sepsisli buzağılarda yatış pozisyonunun (sternal/lateral) değerlendirmesinin, hayvanların genel sağlık durumu ve metabolik asidozun şiddetinin bir göstergesi olarak önemli bir kriter olabileceği ortaya konulmuştur.
