    Haemoncosis is an important parasitic disease that normally affects sheep and goats and is caused by the nematode of the genus Haemonchus, of the Trichostrongyloidea family. Its evolutionary cycle has a period of development in the host, called the parasitic phase, and another called the environmental phase. This parasite is known for its extreme resistance to anthelmintics, becoming a major problem for goat and sheep farming. The control of haemoncosis depends on early awareness by the producer, monitoring the proliferation of H. contortus and management protocols and prophylactic measures such as anthelmintic treatments. The clinical signs observed are anemia, apathy, hypoproteinemia, anorexia, dehydration, weight loss, generalized edema and decreased milk production. Among the necropsy findings, gelatinous atrophy of cardiac fat can be seen, which is normally observed in cachectic animals, or those undergoing some process of carbohydrate deprivation, or any process that results in an abrupt loss of body weight, requiring the use of lipid reserves, initiating a process of lipolysis and mobilization of this fat for ATP synthesis. The present study aims to report a case of haemoncosis in a goat in which gelatinous cardiac atrophy was observed as one of the necropsy findings.

    Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE) is one of the most common autoimmune skin diseases in small animal clinics, with a high prevalence, especially in dogs. Its etiology is not yet well defined, however it is possible to state that hormonal and genetic factors influence the onset of DLE, as well as sun exposure, especially in light areas of the body, as this disease results in depigmentation, peeling and erythema of the skin. The diagnosis is made based on anamnesis, physical and histopathological examination, and its differentials include pemphigus foliaceus and actinic dermatitis. Being an autoimmune condition, there is no cure, however, the prognosis is favorable when the lesions are controlled through the use of corticosteroids, sun protection and vitamin E supplementation. The present work aims to describe a clinical case diagnosed as DLE in a two-year-old female dog.
