    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Bovine Health
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Oral medications are commonly administered to cattle for various ailments.
    • Improper administration techniques can lead to iatrogenic injuries.
    • Pharyngeal trauma in cattle is an underreported complication of medication delivery.

    Observation:

    • Four cases of cattle presented with anorexia and suspected gastro-intestinal issues.
    • Clinical signs included excessive salivation, pharyngeal pain, fever, dysphagia, and pneumonia.
    • Physical examination and endoscopy revealed pharyngeal trauma secondary to oral drug administration.

    Findings:

    • Radiographs confirmed retropharyngeal cellulitis in three of four cases.
    • Dysphagia and forestomach stasis were attributed to pain-induced inhibition or vagal nerve compromise.
