Bleeding abomasal ulcers in cows cause severe anemia and anorexia. Prompt treatment with blood transfusions and supportive care led to recovery in most affected cattle.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Ruminant Health
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Bleeding abomasal ulcers are a serious condition in cattle.
  • Clinical signs include anemia, anorexia, and abnormal feces.
  • Diagnosis and treatment are crucial for animal welfare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical signs, pathological findings, and therapeutic outcomes.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of various treatment protocols.
  • To report on the prognosis for cows with bleeding abomasal ulcers.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical examination of 35 cows with bleeding abomasal ulcers.
  • Analysis of blood and rumen fluid parameters.
  • Treatment including blood transfusions, intravenous fluids, and medications (Vitamin K, C, calcium, metoclopramide).

Main Results:

  • Key findings included moderate to severe anemia, tachycardia, dark feces, anorexia, and poor general condition.
  • Two cows were euthanized immediately; 5 died or were euthanized despite treatment.
  • 28 cows recovered within days with improved general condition, appetite, and defecation.

Conclusions:

  • Bleeding abomasal ulcers present with significant clinical and hematological changes.
  • Aggressive treatment, including blood transfusions and supportive care, can lead to recovery in most cases.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are vital for improving outcomes in affected cattle.
