Abstract
Lumpy skin disease is a World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) listed disease and causes high morbidity around the globe. It causes damage to hide and affects the fertility and productivity of domestic animals. This case report describes the clinical management of lumpy skin disease in a local Sahiwal bull. Bull with the complaint of nodular eruptions on different body parts was presented at the veterinary clinic of University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan. A comprehensive medical examination indicated that the bull was feverish, with a rectal body temperature of 105°F and had a burst of small to large-sized circumscribed nodules on various body regions, including the neck area. The diagnosis of lumpy skin disease was verified based on the history, clinical observations, and ELISA results. The case was addressed with a mix of medication (20% oxytetracycline, 1% doramectin, and 5% mepyramine maleate) and serum treatment. The bull recovered and is now healthy.
