Purulent omphalophlebitis and urachal infection

A Piedmontese heifer calf approximately 2 months old, despite antibiotic treatments administered prior to the clinical examination, presents with evident chronic polyarthritis, involving the left carpus and both tarsi. The clinical examination also reveals an umbilical pathology, which is certainly the origin of the joint problems. Deep abdominal palpation of the umbilical region (with the calf in lateral recumbency) reveals pathological involvement of the structures both anteriorly and posteriorly. Ultrasound examination confirms the presence of purulent inflammation in both the umbilical vein and the urachus.
