Hemoparasitosis is a common disease in small animals. They are caused by protozoa or bacteria and are transmitted by ectoparasites, such as fleas and ticks. Among them, the most commonly found in veterinary medical routine are babesiosis, ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis, popularly known as "tick disease". Due to non-specific and similar symptoms, these diseases are difficult to diagnose at first and can often be asymptomatic. Therefore, the diagnosis is based on clinical suspicion, and later confirmed by laboratory tests. The successful treatment of these diseases depends on early diagnosis, choosing the best treatment that involves the use of specific antibiotics, such as doxycycline, and supportive measures to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications. The preventive use of ectoparasite control such as antiparasitic collars, medications such as fluralaner, or active ingredients that kill fleas and ticks, environmental control, regular consultations and annual tests are essential to combat them, reduce their effects and avoid fatalities. In this report, a male canine, SRD, aged 12 years, is portrayed, who, when carrying out a routine examination, was observed by laboratory tests to be co-infected with babesia, ehrlichia and anaplasma, without the animal showing characteristic clinical symptoms. .

Currently, the cereal with the largest production in the world is corn, and in Brazil, 46% of its total production is destined for animal feed. In animal nutrition, corn is used to feed both ruminants and non-ruminants and, despite not having much protein, it is an excellent source of energy. Therefore, to ensure that corn crops achieve good productivity, it is important to provide macronutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium in adequate quantities, as they are required in greater quantities by plants. Thus, aiming at sustainable advancement in animal nutrition together with maximizing corn production, this review examines the use of Corteva Agriscience's commercial biological inoculant Utrisha N®, developed with the exclusive strain of Methylobacterium symbioticum, a Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, which aims to reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizers, promoting sustainable agriculture, since, in addition to fixing atmospheric nitrogen, the product stimulates plant growth, reducing the need for fertilizers by up to 50% in certain crops. Measures like this not only promote agricultural efficiency, but also minimize environmental impact, highlighting the importance of sustainable agricultural practices in the production of animal feed.
Protocolo anestésico para orquiectomia em canino com Bav grau II : Relato de caso
(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2024-10-09) SANTOS, Bruna Pan dos; MICHELETTI, Carolina Dantas; BONFANTE, Juliana da Silva
Atrioventricular block (AVB) in dogs is a condition that affects electrical communication between the atria and ventricles of the heart, and is classified into three degrees and also diagnosed by electrocardiogram. Thus, in this case report, a male canine, of approximately three years of age, was submitted to pre-anesthetic evaluation for an orchiectomy. During the physical examination, a discrepancy between the animal's heart rate and behavior was identified, leading to the suspicion of a second-degree atrioventricular block (AVB), later confirmed by electrocardiogram. After returning for atropine administration to adjust the anesthetic protocol, the orchiectomy was successfully performed, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of cardiac conditions to ensure patient safety during surgical procedures. Thus, the situation illustrates the challenges and the importance, mainly, of a thorough cardiac evaluation, especially in animals that will be exposed to anesthesia, since dogs of any breed and age can be affected.
