    Comparison of prenatal development of Turkish Angora and Van cats
    (Univ Zagreb Vet Faculty, 2011) Macun, Hasan C.; Erat, Serkan; Arikan, Sevket
    The objectives of the present study were to gather data on the prenatal development of Turkish cats (the Angora and Van cats) and examine the effects of the breed on prenatal development. Three Angora and four Van cats, ranging in age from 3 to 4 years, were used in the present study. Depending on the stage of pregnancy, the gestational sac diameter (GSD), the fetal heart diameter (FHRTD), the fetal abdominal diameter (FAD), the fetal head diameter (FHD), the fetal gastric diameter (FGD), the fetal width of fore (FWFP) and rear footpads (FWRP) were measured by freezing the images of the fetus or fetal structure on the screen. The mean FHRTD value of the Angora cats was significantly (P = 0.033) greater than the corresponding value of the Van cats during the third week of gestation. The Van cats had significantly (P = 0.008) greater mean value of FHD than did the Angora cats during the fifth week of the gestation. There were no significant breed differences between the other fetal measurements. As a result, the prenatal development of the Angora and Van cats were found to be similar. The findings of the present study may also be used as an aid to estimate the gestational age of domestic cats.

    Intravaginal application of misoprostol improves pregnancy termination with cabergoline and alfaprostol in dogs
    (Schluetersche Verlagsgesellschaft Mbh & Co Kg, 2010) Çetin, Yunus; Macun, Hasan C.; Beceriklisoy, Hakki B.; Schaefer-Somi, Sabine; Aslan, Selim
    The goal of this study was to compare three different medications for the induction of abortion in bitches between day 22 and 40 after mismating, to reduce the dosage and frequency of PGF(2 alpha) applications and to investigate the effects of additional intravaginal applications of misoprostol, a PGE(1) analog. For this purpose, 22 bitches of different breeds were assigned to three groups: group 1 (n = 6) received cabergoline (Galastop (R), 10 mu g/kg daily, po) until abortion was complete (first application= day 0) and one administration of alfaprostol (Gabbrostim (R), 10 mu g/kg at day 3, s. c.); group 2 (n = 9) was administered cabergoline (10 mu g/kg daily, po) and alfaprostol (10 mu g/kg at days 0 and 3, s. c.); and group 3 (n = 7) received the same combination as group 2 in addition to misoprostol (Cytotec (R), 400 mu g for bitches with <= 20 kg bw, 600 mu g for bitches with >20 kg bw, every other day, intravaginally). Abortion occurred in 83.3%, 77.7% and 100% of cases in group 1, 2 and 3, respectively (p > 0.05). Cervical dilatation time was shortest in group 3 (3.1 +/- 0.9 days vs. group 1: 5.4 +/- 2.8 and group 2: 5.5 +/- 2.5; p < 0.05). Minor side effects like transient anorexia, weakness, mild vomiting and diarrhea or low grade hair loss were found in 30.3%, 54.3% and 54.0% of cases in group 1, 2 and 3, respectively. We conclude that a combination of oral cabergoline (10 mu g/kg) and alfaprostol (10 mu g/kg) is an effective method for inducing termination of pregnancy in bitches, However, a combination of oral cabergoline (10 mu g/kg), alfaprostol (10 mu g/kg) and administration of additional intravaginal misoprostol may be even more effective.
