Bacterial endocarditis in a cow was successfully treated with a combination of antibiotics and anticoagulants, leading to long-term survival and reproductive success. This case highlights the potential benefits of anticoagulant therapy in managing bovine endocarditis.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Cardiology
  • Bovine Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Bacterial endocarditis, particularly of the tricuspid valve, can cause significant health issues in cattle.
  • Traditional veterinary medicine often overlooks anticoagulant therapy for septic endocarditis.

Observation:

  • A cow presented with weight loss, decreased milk production, fever, jugular/mammary vein pulses, tachycardia, cardiomegaly, and a holosystolic murmur.
  • Echocardiography confirmed tricuspid valve endocarditis, with Streptococcus viridans isolated from blood cultures.

Findings:

  • The cow received a treatment regimen including penicillin, furosemide, acetylsalicylic acid, heparin, and potassium chloride.
  • Despite persistent tachycardia and additional symptoms like diarrhea and edema, the cow survived for 14 months post-diagnosis.
  • She successfully produced a calf and four viable embryos during the survival period.

Implications:

  • This case suggests that anticoagulant therapy, specifically heparin, may be beneficial in treating bacterial endocarditis in cattle.
  • The feasibility of treating valuable breeding cattle with endocarditis is enhanced by advancements in reproductive technologies like embryo transfer.
