Accidents caused by hymenopterans (bees, wasps, hornets) are frequent in domestic animals, mainly in dogs and horses, but are rarely reported in the literature. The sites of the body most attacked by bees are the nasal, oral and ocular regions. Sometimes the immediate allergic reactions, caused by the direct effect of bee venom, outweigh the reactions caused by the venom of snakes, scorpions and spiders. The clinical state manifested by these patients can result either from the local hypersensitivity reaction by a sting, or from poisoning by a few stings or systemic toxic reaction by multiple stings. Most dogs stung by multiple bees, even receiving immediate recommended treatment, do not survive.

Immune-mediated non-erosive polyarthritis is a pathology that has as its etiology chronic infectious diseases, systemic lupus erythematosus, lymphocytic-plasmacytic synovitis, reactions to drugs or other mediated immune disorders, being in most cases of idiopathic origin. Immunomediated polyarthritis is caused by the deposition of immune complexes in the synovium of the joints, which produces a hypersensitivity reaction, leading to an inflammatory process in the affected area. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of immune-mediated non-erosive polyarthritis caused by hemoparasitosis in a dog. A four-year-old poodle, weighing 9.8 kg, with a history of progressive weight loss, hyporexia, diarrhea and ixodidiosis was treated. On physical examination, intermittent claudication and painful tenderness were found in bilateral hip joints. Hemogram, coproparasitological, and radiographic examinations were requested. The treatment instituted was subcutaneous application of atropine sulfate and imidocarb hydrochloride (two doses with an interval of 15 days) and prescription of doxycycline, ranitidine, carprofen, fembendazole.

Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide polysystemic disease that has the mandatory intracellular coccid Toxoplasma gondii as its etiological agent. This protozoan can infect all warm-blooded animals, including man. Felids are classified as definitive hosts while the other homeothermic animals are intermediate hosts. The three main routes of transmission are congenital infection, eating raw or undercooked meat infected with tissue cysts and eating food and / or water contaminated with oocysts. Other routes of transmission that can also be considered, but that occur less frequently are unpasteurized milk, blood transfusion and organ transplantation. The primary infection by T. gondii can be asymptomatic in some animals, including man, however, as the parasite is encysted in the musculature, the disease may reappear when the animal is subjected to stressful situations, glucocorticoid therapy or is affected by another condition. immunodepressor. Dogs can be considered an important source of infection for man, because due to the proximity between humans and their dogs and the fact that dogs are quite curious animals, they can rub themselves in substances such as cat feces, becoming parasite carriers.
