        Anabolic-androgenic steroids are used to stimulate appetite, muscle growth, and increase the production of red blood cells. The aim of the present study was to comparethe effect of stanozolol and nandrolone decanoate hormones on serum concentration of erythropoeitin and testosterone, their probable side effects on liver and body weight changes in the cat. For this purpose, ten healthy male cats were divided into two equal groups. Group A included  five cats which received stanozolol (25 mg/cat IM) once weekly for six weeks. Group B included five cats which received nandrolone decanoate (1 mg/kg IM) once weekly for six weeks. Blood samples were collected five times on days zero, 3, 14, 28 and 42, for measurement of testosterone and erythropoietin. Both stanozolol and nandrolone decanoate showed effective function in increasing serum concentration of erythropoeitin and testosterone, but the effect of stanozolol was more than nandrolone decanoate in increasing hormone levels. A significant difference (p>0.001) was observed between groups A and B at days 14, 28 and 42 in increasing erythropoeitin and at days 3, 14, 28 and 42 in increasing testosterone. None of the drugs had hepatotoxic effects and stanozolol was more effective than nandrolone decanoate in increasing body weight (p<0.001). The results showed that although both hormones had effective function in increasing erythropoietin, testosterone, and body weight in cats, but stanozolol was more effective than nandrolone decanoate.  Manuscript profile

        Environmental temperature and photoperiod are among the important factors that may influence the reproductive cycle of various species. The aim of the present survey was to evaluate the different seasonal influences (cold= January and warm= July) and their intermediate seasons (April and October) on serum testosterone concentration in cats of Ahvaz region. For this purpose, one hundred and twenty adult male cats (domestic short hair breed) were examined. Blood samples were taken of thirty cats in each season, and testosterone concentration was measured using ELISA technique in serum samples. The average testosterone concentration of 3.42±0.49 ng/ml was detected in the studied cats. The minimum and maximum of serum testosterone level was also 0.01 and 17.2 ng/ml, in July and January respectively. The minimum of mean testosterone concentration was obtained in the warm season (0.62±0.23 ng/ml), while the maximum mean level was detected in the cold season (9.87±1.28 ng/ml). The mean testosterone concentration in spring and autumn was 2.26±0.5 and 0.94±0.3 ng/ml respectively. Environmental temperature and photoperiod correlated negatively with the testosterone concentration. The correlation coefficient between testosterone concentration with the average of minimum, maximum and total temperature, was calculated as R= -0.572, R= -0.615 and     R= -0.597 respectively. The correlation coefficient indicated an acceptable and high correlation of the negative (inverse) type, between testosterone concentration and photoperiod (R= -0.256). In conclusion, testosterone concentration is under the influence of season, with the mean testosterone concentration significantly lower in summer than the other seasons (p < /em><0.05).  Manuscript profile

        Garlic is a medicinal herbwith antioxidant, anti-hyperlipidemic and antidiabetic properties which is extensively used in the treatment of diseases. The purpose of the present study was to assess probable hematologic alterations and the activity of some erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes following garlic administration in dogs. In this study, ten male dogs were treated with garlic tablet with a dosage of 100 mg/kg, once daily for 45 days. Blood samples were collected three times on days zero, 45 and 60 of the experiment. Complete blood count (CBC), erythrocyte morphology, reticulocyte count, Heinz body and erythrocyte osmotic fragility test were performed. The activity of erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes including SOD (superoxide dismutase) and GPX (glutathione peroxidase) were also assessed. Garlic administration in dogs caused a significant reduction in erythrocyte count, hematocrit and hemoglobin concentration on day 60 compared to day zero (p < /em><0.05). In addition, a significant decrease was observed in mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) on days 45 and 60 and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) on day 60 (p < /em><0.05). Osmotic fragility assessment of RBC’s indicated that the percentage of hemolysis was significantly decreased in 0.55%, 0.50%, 0.45% and 0.40% salt concentrations (p < /em><0.05). Moreover, a significant increase was observed in the activity of erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes, SOD and GPX on day 60 (p < /em><0.05). The present study showed that garlic tablet administration with the dosages used in the present study, did not induce considerable destructive effects on erythrocytes while improving antioxidant defense system and osmotic tolerance of red blood cells.

        Radiography with contrast media is a diagnostic imaging technique with high-resolution that plays a prominent role in showing the transit time of gastrointestinal system. The purpose of the present research was to evaluate the effects of diphenoxylate and loperamide on the transit time of contrast media from the gastrointestinal in cat. The study was performed on twenty healthy female cat. The cats were divided into four equal groups. The first group (control) was received ketamine with diazepam, 40 min before administration of the contrast media. The second group was received diphenoxylate 0.1 mg/kg, the third group loperamide 0.1 mg/kg, and the fourth group loperamide 0.2 mg/kg, 30 min before administration of contrast media. Tranquilizer drugs were administered to all groups. Then the radiography was performed at times zero, 20, 40 and 60 min, and every hour until reaching the contrast media to colon. All groups that were received drug had a significant difference at the beginning of emptying with control group (p < 0.05). The mean total transit time of the stomach was 52 min for the control group, the diphenoxylate 120, the loperamide 0.1 mg/kg 156 and for the loperamide 0.2 mg/kg 204 min respectively. There was a significant difference between the control and the drug-receiving groups as well as the two groups of diphenoxylate and loperamide 0.2 mg/kg at the time of complete stomach emptying (p < 0.05). In conclusion, it was showed that Loperamide with dosage 0.2 mg/kg had the most delay effect in emptying of the gastrointestinal tract in cat. Manuscript profile

        Crystalluria is one of the most important factors contributing to the pathogenesis of urinary stones. The type of urinary crystals can be associated with urinary tract infection and subsequently alter urine pH. The aim of the present survey was to evaluate the frequency of crystalluria and bacteriuria in companion dogs of Ahvaz district. For this purpose, the urine of 101 healthy dogs was obtained by catheterization. Physical assessment was initially carried out for specific gravity, color, clearance and apparent characteristics, and then the biochemical analysis was performed to evaluate the presence of hemoglobin, glucose, protein, ketone bodies and urine pH was also measured. Urinary sediment was also evaluated for the presence of crystals, casts and cells. Urine samples were also examined for the presence of Staphylococcus, Proteus and Escherichia coli bacteria. Overall twenty cases (19.80%) had crystalluria; of which fifteen cases (75%) were struvite, two cases (10%) were oxalate calcium dehydrate, two cases (10%) mixture of struvite and oxalate-calcium dehydrate and one case (5%) mixture of oxalate calcium dehydrate and bilirubin. From a total of 101 samples, 40 cases (39.60%) had positive urine culture; of which sixteen cases (40%) were positive for Staphylococcus epidermidis and twelve (30%) for E. coli. Proteus was not isolated in any of the samples. There was no significant relationship between gender and breed with bacteriuria and crystalluria (p>0.05), but a significant difference was observed for age; with rising age resulting in increased crystalluria and bacteriuria (p<0.05). Also, the results showed that there was a close correlation between crystalluria and bacteriuria in dogs. Manuscript profile
