| Popis: | Iatrogenic aspiration pneumonia (AP), often caused by incorrect drenching and feeding with inappropriate bottles, is a frequent condition that can lead to sudden death depending on the amount of aspirated fluid. The evaluation of clinical scores and blood gas analytes may provide valuable insights into the complications that may arise due to AP in later stages. In this study, the AP Group consisted of 23 Holstein breed calves aged 1-14 days, which developed clinical signs such as cough, nasal and/or ocular discharge, and respiratory distress after forced feeding with inappropriate bottles. The Control Group consisted of 11 healthy calves with similar characteristics. Clinical examinations, Calf Health Score (CHS) evaluations, and venous blood gas analysis were performed. Based on anamnesis, calves with AP were classified as either Acute or Chronic AP. In clinical examination, heart and respiratory rates were higher in the Acute AP Group compared to the other groups (P |
