Ruminoscopic Visualisation of an Unusual Rumenitis in a Six-Month Camel Calf: A Clinical Case Report
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: The present clinical case report aimed to describe a novel ruminal finding in a 6 months camel calf. The case was suffering from chronically progressive weight loss, unthriftiness and stunted growth. Upon clinical examination, the calf appeared with generalised weakness, the origin of which couldn’t be clinically detected. A comprehensive clinical and laboratory examination was performed but it did not yield a diagnostic significance. Examination of the rumen via endoscopy revealed presence of massive lesions occupying the caudo-dorsal parts of the rumen. The nature of the reported lesions was extensive scare tissue formation, ulceration, ruminal wall hypremia, thickening of ruminal wall and nodules formation.
