Background: Although bone tumors are common pathologies in companion animals, limited reports describe nasal osteosarcoma (OSA) in cats. Case description: A case of nasal OSA in a local Libyan cat was admitted to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tripoli-Libya, with nasal swelling and discharges and facial deformity. The radiological findings revealed nasal osteolysis with the absence of evidence of lung metastasis. In addition, fungal growth was not identified in microbiological culture. Furthermore, the pathological examination has grossly revealed a destructed nasal bone due to the presence of a tumor mass, with a mucohemorrhagic nasal discharge and absence of metastasis. OSA was confirmed histopathologically. Conclusion: This report presents the clinical, radiological, and pathological findings of a primary nasal OSA in a Libyan cat with no tumor metastasis to other body organs.

An experiment was conducted to study chlorpyrifos chronic toxicity in broilers and the protective effect of vitamin C. Oral administration of 0.8 mg/kg body weight (bw) (1/50 LD50) chlorpyrifos (Radar®), produced mild diarrhea and gross lesions comprised of paleness, flaccid consistency and slightly enlargement of liver. Histopathologically, chlorpyrifos produced degenerative changes in various organs. Oral administration of 100 mg/kg bw vitamin C partially ameliorated the degenerative changes in kidney and heart. There was insignificant alteration in biochemical and haematological profiles. It is concluded that supplementation of vitamin C reduced the severity of lesions induced by chronic chlorpyrifos toxicity in broilers.

ABSTRACT Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate changes of haematological and biochemical parameters in Hejazi goats under synchronization protocols treatment. Methods:Forty fertile and healthy female Hejazi goats were divided equally and randomly into four groups (n=10). All synchronization protocols started 7 days after the first 125 µg Cloprostenol injection (i.m.). The first group received CIDR treatment for 7 days only and followed by injection of second dose of PGF2α and 400 IU of PMSG, and the second group received CIDR treatment for 14 days and followed by injection of second dose of PGF2α and 400 IU of PMSG, and the third group received injection of 0.004 µg of synthetic GnRH analogue for 7 days and followed on day 14 by a second injection of 125 µg PGF2α followed by second injection of 0.004 µg of synthetic GnRH analogue, the fourth group received two doses of 125 µg PGF2α with14 days interval. Blood samples were collected from all of the does for biochemical analysis. Results: Observations showed no external or behaviour changes recorded and slight changes in all groups in diagnostic parameters. The conception rate tended to be decrease specific with increase in other days Conclusions: This study showed that monitoring the biochemical diagnostic parameters in the four groups going different protocols we didn’t record any significant different (P>0.05). The current study suggests that CIDR treatment for short and long are safe in Hejazi doe
