    Estafilectomia com rinoplastia em buldogue francês: Relato de caso
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2024-10-09) MICHELETTI, Carolina Dantas; IZIDORO, Letícia Cristina; NOZAWA, Marcela Helena; GONÇALVES, Brenna Maria Cyrino Nogueira
    Brachycephalic dog syndrome is prevalent in breeds such as Pugs, Boxers, Shih Tzus, French Bulldogs and English Bulldogs, due to anatomical abnormalities such as nostril stenosis and elongated soft palate. Consequently, these changes lead to several complications such as eversion of laryngeal sacs and tonsils, macroglossia and tracheal collapse, which generate significant consequences for the animals, mainly esophageal and gastric distension due to increased respiratory effort. Symptoms include noisy breathing, stridor, increased inspiratory effort, coughing, altered voice, episodes of emesis, cyanosis of the mucous membranes and syncope. Diagnosis is based on history, clinical signs, physical examination and complementary exams such as cervical and thoracic radiographs to evaluate tracheal narrowing. Finally, surgical treatment is essential, with staphylectomy to reduce the lengthening of the soft palate and rhinoplasty to remodel the nasal structure, in addition to palliative measures such as maintaining cool environments and controlling physical effort. Thus, this case report addresses the accurate diagnosis, surgical treatment and recovery of respiratory syndrome in a French Bulldog, highlighting the importance of early intervention and postoperative care to improve its quality of life.

    Leptospirose canina
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2019-09-18) QUEIROZ, Francielle Maria Prodócimo; NOZAWA, Marcela Helena; CHANQUETTE, Maria Vitória Marchenta; BERALDO, Mariana Ramos Andrade
    Canine leptospirosis is caused by the bacteria called Leptospira. Infection occurs through contact with stagnant water carrying urine from transmitters, most commonly rodents, which penetrate through scratches in the dermis and mucous membranes, reaching the bloodstream, which is ideal for its replication. It has zoonotic power, being transmitted to humans through floods or contact with infected animals, therefore, it is considered a public health problem.

    Tuberculose bovina
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2019-09-18) QUEIROZ, Francielle Maria Prodócimo; NOZAWA, Marcela Helena; CHANQUETTE, Maria Vitória Marchenta; BERALDO, Mariana Ramos Andrade
    Bovine tuberculosis is one of the most important respiratory diseases to be studied due to its fatality in animals, especially in cattle. This pathology generates losses economic issues related to the production and condemnation of carcasses. Cattle can be infected by Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare through various forms of contamination, the inhalation route (pulmonary) being the most pathogenic M.bovis infection. Concepts pathogenesis, lesions, clinical signs and diagnosis are reviewed in order to update knowledge on the aspect of bovine tuberculosis as a zoonosis.
