abstract
Three female crossbred cows with varied age of 2-4 years were presented with a history of teat lesions. Physical examination of udder of all the cows revealed eruptions of multiple small red papules, at different stages of disease, limited only to teats. All the animals did not show any other systemic signs of illness. The typical lesions were also noticed on the milker’s fingers, hand and forearm. Limitation of lesions to the teats, circular in shape, that change to horse shoe-shaped rings during time and presence of similar lesions on milker’s fingers was enough to diagnostic confirmation of pseudo-cowpox. All the affected cows were treated with topical broad-spectrum antibiotic ointment along with multivitamins with complete recovery in 20 days after initiation of treatment and no relapse occurred for five months.
