Overgrown nasal growths were removed surgically and three doses of Antimony lithium thiomalate were administered intramuscularly at week interval. Macroscopically, nasal granuloma was cauliflower like in Gir bullock, whereas cylindrical and pedunculated in Gir cow. Radiographically increased radiopacity of anterior nasal passage was observed. Histopathologically, nasal granuloma was composed by myxomatous stroma filled with inflammatory cells and lined by pseudostratified columnar epithelium. Macroscopic, radiographic and histopathologic findings were consistent with the diagnosis of nasal granuloma. Top Keywords Cattle, gir, nasal granuloma. Top |
