The article is devoted to the current problem of differential diagnosis of diseases of viral etiology in small domestic animals. Viral diseases of dogs and cats are widespread among both high-breed and outbred animals. The spread of diseases is facilitated by an increase in the number of small domestic animals, the popularization of pet keeping, and cross-border operations related to the movement of animals. The possibility of using means and methods of diagnosing adenovirus infection in cattle, tentative diagnosis and differentiation of infectious hepatitis in dogs from plague of carnivores and parvovirus enteritis is being considered. Reducing the timing of diagnosis helps to increase the effectiveness of ongoing therapeutic and antiepizootic measures. The analysis of the place of carnivorous infectious hepatitis in the structure of the incidence of dogs is given. The article describes the research in the field of the possibility of using the established antigenic relationship of representatives of the adenovirus family for the in vivo and posthumous diagnosis of infectious diseases of small pets. The authors proposed a method for performing the production of serological reactions for the diagnosis of infectious hepatitis in dogs using diagnostic tools for adenovirus infection in cattle.

Injuries among domestic animals account for 50-70 % of all non-communicable diseases. Fractures of bones, mainly limbs, occur in 44.5 % of cases. The main goal of fracture treatment is to restore normal function and movement of the limb, and the ways in which this is done are varied. Preference is given to methods that do not constrain the movement of the limb, allowing the animal to use it during the treatment period. Purpose: This article discusses the method of bone osteosynthesis, which has proven itself in the treatment of bone fractures, and is relevant today in veterinary medicine. The main study was conducted on the basis of the veterinary clinic "Shans" in Pavlodar. For osteosynthesis, plates for osteosynthesis and screws made of titanium alloy were used. This is due to the fact that when in contact with each other, the metal that fixes bone fragments can oxidize. Animals come to the clinic as a result of injuries that lead to fractures. The most common causes include falls from a height, motor vehicles, careless or rough handling of animals, and contact with other animals. When a fracture is established by obvious signs or if a fracture is suspected, such patients are preliminarily sent for x-rays. Upon receipt of an X-ray image and with the consent of the owner of the animal, osteosynthesis is performed. When accessing bone fragments, the incision was made along the muscle fibers. Osteosynthesis was performed according to the method described by V.M. Shapovalov (2009). The general condition of the animals after osteosynthesis was restored after 3-5 days. All animals, after bone osteosynthesis, completely relied on the limb. Contractures of adjacent joints and muscle atrophy were not determined. Plain osteosynthesis of the femur, in the presence of the necessary instrument and consumables, is not very difficult to perform. Performing bone osteosynthesis in the early stages makes it possible to include the limb in the locomotory act, as a result of which the animal actively uses the limb during the rehabilitation period.
