Pathoanatomical case of post-castration complications in ram

An autopsy was performed on a ram that died after castration by incision. In addition, hematologic and coproovoscopy examinations of all sheep of the same age and living conditions were performed before castration (n = 4). As a result, it was found out that the blood loss typical for castration by incision led the ram operated to breathing and heartbeat stopping and then to death due to severe normochromic anemia. Anemia associated with invasion of nematodes of the Strongyloididae family was recorded in all operated animals, but its clinical manifestations were less pronounced. In addition to nematodes of the Strongyloididae family, nematodes of the Trichocephalidae family were found in the dead ram, which taken in a whole caused a more severe state and death.
