Abstract

To our knowledge, there is no report aboutconcurrent occurrence of traumatic reticulopericarditis and non-penetrating foreign bodies in calf and the aim of this case report is to show the importance of them in calf. A dead, male Holstein cross calf was referred to Department of Pathology, School of Veterinary Medicine, Shahrekord University for necropsy. The necropsy was performed and for histopathological study, issue samples were taken from visceral organs. Macroscopically, ascitic fluid with strands of fibrin was observed in the abdominal cavity. The reticulum wall had necrohemorrhagic foci. There were numerous fibrous adhesions among reticulum, liver and diaphragm. Non-penetrating foreign bodies were found in the rumen. A large quantity of yellowish, foul-smelling fluid with caseous necrotic materials was observed in the pericardial sac. The pericardium and epicardium were greatly thickened and fused to each other by fibrous connective tissue. Microscopically, hyperemia, infiltration of inflammatory cells, fibrin fibrils, necrotic tissues and proliferation of connective tissue were seen in the reticulum wall, liver surface, pericardium, and epicardium. The results of this study show that the potential risk of TRP and non-penetrating foreign bodies should be taken into consideration for young animals such as a five-month-old calf to prevent economic losses.
