CVM%A Executive meets in Sherbrookee annual conference of La Corporation professionnelle

Ides me'decins ve'terinaires du Que6bec (CPMVQ) held&September 16-18, 1993, in Sherbrooke, provided a good occa-

Canadians provide aid for Lippizaner horses in CroatiaW ith the recent outbreak of war in the1j, country formerly known as Yugoslavia,the government-owned herd of Lippizanerhorses was suffering from lack of medical careand supplies. Although not as well-known astheir Austrian cousins, the horses have longbeen a source of national pride for the country.Under the care of theirkeepers, the magnifi-cent animals weremoved several times toavoid the fighting, butthey were in dire needof medical aid. Due todonations and the workof several Canadians, theherd received medica-tions and supplies.

Lieutenant-Colonel JimCalvin, commanding offi-cer of the SecondBattalion of the PrincessPatricia's Canadian LightInfantry, and his troops were posted in March1993 as United Nations peacekeepers toDaruvar, Croatia. While there, Lt.-Col. Calvinlearned of the plight of the Lippizaner herd andsought help to get medical aid for the animals.He contacted his friend, veterinarianDr. Patricia Haugh in Winnipeg, for help.

Dr. Haugh, a felinepractitioner, took up thecause even thoughadmits to not havingtouched a horse in over adecade. With the help ofher colleagues who are elocal large animal veteri-narians, she produced alist of supplies that thehorses would likely requireand the names of theirmanufacturers. TheCanadian offices of the vet-erinary pharmaceuticalfirms on the list were con-tacted by Dr. Haugh and asked for donations.

Although the drug companies were advisedthey likely would not be allowed to publicizetheir contributions (a ban that was later liftedby the military once the battalion had left thearea), all companies contacted were generouswith supplies. Over $5,000 worth of supplieswere received. Ayerst Laboratories and CoopersAgropharm donated vaccines; AustinLaboratoires/Vetoquinol Canada provided oint-

ments, antibiotics, and vitamin mix; MTCPharmaceuticals donated bandaging materials,shampoos, fly spray, iodine, poultices,linaments, and cough syrup; rogar-STB andSmithKline Beecham provided deworming med-ications, and SmithKline Beecham also donated

vaccines and syringes.Soon Dr. Haugh's catclinic and house beganto overflow with boxesof horse supplies.

Local military personnelthen sorted all the sup-plies to ensure thatvaccines were refriger-ated and flammablesdid not explode duringtransport. Air Canadashipped the boxes atno charge, and eventhe Canadian

embassy in Vienna played a part byreceiving the vaccines and refrigerating themuntil they could be shipped to Croatia.

By the time the supplies reached Daruvar, thehorses were in hiding again and it was not untilJune that the much needed materials finallyreached the horses. On July 26, 1993, Lt.-Col.

Calvin was at last ableto write to all contribu-tors letting them knowof the safe delivery ofthe supplies. By thistime, of the original120 horses at stud in1991, 14 were killedintefighting, 19

were lost or stolen, 3were left behind withCroatians who aidedin the rescue, and 10died of exhaustion orsickness on the jour-ney. The remaining

horses were saved as well as thebooks and records of the stud.

With the supplies provided by Canadian drugmanufacturers, there are high hopes that thisherd of magnificent horses will fully recoverfrom the ravages of war.

(We congratulate Dr. Patricia Haugh on her suc-cess in assisting these horses, and thank her forbringing this article to our attention. CVI eds.)

D a e ml p lpnC iemDes Canadiens se mobilisent pour les Lippizans de CroatieAcause du conflit qui a recemment eclate dans

l'ancienne Yougoslavie, l'elevage de chevauxLippizans du pays, propriete gouvernementale, enest arrive a manquer de soins et de medicaments.Bien qu'ils ne soient pas aussi connus que leurscousins autrichiens, ces chevaux ont longtempsconstitue une source de fierte nationale. Leurs gar-diens ont cherche a les mettre en securite et ilsont deplace plusieurs foisces magnifiques creaturesloin des zones de com-bats. Mais ils avaient unbesoin urgent de medica-ments. Grace aux dons etaux efforts de plusieurscitoyens canadiens, leschevaux resoivent desor-mais les soins necessaires.

Les troupes du secondbataillon canadien d'infan-terie legere de la PrincessePatricia, commandees parle lieutenant-colonel JimCalvin, avaient ete postees,en mars 1993, a Daruvar, enCroatie, dans le cadre d'une mission de paix desNations-Unies. C'est la-bas que le lieutenant-colonelCalvin a pris connaissance de la situation precaire desLippizans et a entrepris de faire parvenir une assis-tance medicale aux gardiens des chevaux. 11 a con-tacte son amie, la docteure Patricia Haugh, aWinnipeg, pour obtenir son aide.

La docteure Haugh aimmediatement pris leschoses en main, bienqu'elle ait admis ne pasavoir touche un chevaldepuis plus d'une dizained'annees. Avec la partici-pation de ses collegueslocaux, medecins veteri-naires de grands animaux,elle a dresse Ia liste des pro-duits vraisemblablementnecessaires pour soigner leschevaux, ainsi que la liste desfabricants. La docteure Haugha ensuite contacte les siegessociaux de chaque entreprisepharmaceutique figurant surla liste, et a fait appel a leur generosite.

Ces compagnies ont ete prevenues qu'elles neseraient sans doute pas autorisees a faire part aupublic de leur contribution (interdiction levee par lesmilitaires apres le depart de la region dubataillon). Pourtant, tous les groupes contactesont donne genereusement. Des fournitures d'unevaleur de plus de 5000 $ ont ete re,ues. AyerstLaboratories et Coopers Agropharm ont donne desvaccins. Austin Laboratories/Vetoquinol Canada afourni des pommades, des produits antibiotiques et

des vitamines. MTC Pharmaceuticals a envoye despansements, des shampoings, des produits anti-mouches, de l'iode, des cataplasmes, des onguentset du sirop contre la toux. Rogar-STB et SmithKlineBeecham ont, quant a eux, fait parvenir des produitsvermifuges et SmithKline Beecham a donne des

vaccins et des seringues.Rapidement, la cliniquepour chats, ainsi que lamaison de la docteureHaugh, ont ete envahiesde cartons de produitsequins.

Le personnel militaire locala alors passe en revuetous les produits afin des'assurer que les vaccinssoient refrigeres et queles elements inflamma-bles n'explosent paspendant le voyage. AirCanada a assure leur

r transport gratuitement.Meme l'ambassade du Canada a

Vienne a collabore, en se chargeant de garder lesvaccins au froid avant qu'ils ne partent enfin pour laCroatie.

Lorsque ces medicaments sont arrives a Daruvar, leschevaux avaient du, une fois de plus, etre mis a I'abri.11 a fallu attendre jusqu'au mois de juin pour que ces

produits qui faisaient sicruellement defaut puis-sent parvenir a leurs gar-diens. Enfin, le 26 juillet1993, le lieutenant-colonel Calvin etait enmesure d'informer parcourrier tous les dona-teurs de la reception enbonne et due forme desme6dicaments. Entretemps, sur les 120chevaux que le harascomptait en 1991, 14avaient ete tues pen-dant les combats, 19perdus ou voles, 3avaient ete laisses aux

Croates qui avaient aideles autres a fuir, et 10 etaient morts de fatigue ou demaladie pendant le voyage. Les autres ont pu etresauves, avec les registres et les annales du haras.

Grace a I'aide des fabricants de medicaments cana-diens, il y a de grandes chances pour que cettetroupe de chevaux d'une beaute exceptionnellepuisse finalement se recomposer, malgre la guerre.

and an attached vegetation. A ventricular septal defect,one centimeter in diameter, was also identified. Theaortic valve was removed and replaced with a monostrut#25 Bjork-Shiley valve (Shiley Incorporated, Irvine,California) and the ventricular septal defect was patchedwith autologous pericardium. The patient received sixmore weeks of the same intravenous antibiotic regi-men and was subsequently discharged home. He hasremained well.

Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of bovinemastitis (4) and is the second most common cause ofnative valve endocarditis in man. This is the first reportof a possible association of these two conditions.Although causality cannot be. proven, the possibilityexists that infected cow's milk may have been thesource of the strains of S. aureus that infected thefarmer's aortic valve through the fissures and abra-sions of his hands which came into frequent contactwith his cows' milk. Cultures of milk were taken fromthe cows in the herd, and 15 specimens grew S. aureus.While the sensitivities of these strains (methicillin-sensitive and penicillin-resistant) differed from those ofthe patient, the milk was cultured four weeks after thepatient was first examined with cellulitis of the hand. Inthe interim, a number of the cows had received empiri-cal antibiotic therapy, which may have eradicated thestrains infecting the patient. There was no other site ofinfection and, specifically, nasal swabs from the patientwere negative, indicating that nasal carriage was not thelikely source of the organism. Many farmers may havecracks and abrasions on their hands acting as potential

portals of entry for bacteria from contaminated milk butdo not develop endocarditis. This particular farmer,however, had a predisposition to developing endo-carditis in that he had a congenitally abnormal aorticvalve. Transmission in this case is speculative, is basedon a temporal relati6nship of human and cattle infection,and is unproven microbiologically. However, in theabsence of any other source, the infected milk is alikely cause of the patient's infection and ultimateendocarditis. Given the high prevalence of staphylococcalmastitis, which is often subclinical, it would appearprudent for individuals in contact with milk to wearlatex gloves that are impenetrable to microorganisms andto give prompt attention to skin abrasions.
