(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2024-10-09) FARIA, Alex Takahashi de; CARVALHO, Ana Luisa Gonçalves de; TORRES, Maria Lúcia Marcucci
The study on distemper reveals that this viral disease can affect several native species, resulting in serious consequences for populations of wild canines, whether kept in captivity or not, with high rates of morbidity and mortality. The clinical signs observed in wild canines are similar to those found in domestic dogs and include lethargy, fever, nasal and ocular secretion, in addition to severe neuromuscular complications that can develop over time. The transmission of the virus between different species represents a significant threat to the conservation of wild species, especially due to the proximity of urban areas to the natural environment, which results in the fragmentation and degradation of habitats. In addition, the migration of domestic species to conservation and rehabilitation centers also contributes to the spread of the virus, since animals can carry pathogens and transmit the disease to wild species. This work highlights the importance of an effective clinical approach in the management of distemper for the conservation of wild canines, demonstrating the importance of adopting appropriate diagnostic methods and treatment strategies, as well as the application of preventive measures for the intervention and spread of the disease between species, thus protecting the health of these animals and preserving them from infectious diseases.

(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2009-09-30) MEGIATTO, Erika Alice Proni; MORAES, Cíntia Miguel de; MORAES, Franciana de; LOURENÇO, Maria Lúcia Gomes; TORRES, Maria Lúcia Marcucci
Due to a lack of information, pet owners commonly administer non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs without knowledge of the interaction, dosage and consequences of misusing these drugs. This factor is the main cause of gastrointestinal ulceration in dogs. A female dog with anorexia and frequent episodes of emesis, as well as mucopurulent and melena vaginal secretion, was treated at the Veterinary Hospital Vicente Borelli, at the University Center of the Octávio Bastos Education Foundation (HOVET - UNIFEOB). In the anamnesis it was discovered that the owner had been treating his animal with meloxican for eight days. After the diagnosis of pyometra, the animal was submitted to ovariosalpingohisterectomy, where the presence of a gastro-duodenal ulcer in the healing phase and peritonitis was found. After palliative treatment for 30 days, he was discharged and medicated with his homeostasis restored. The purpose of this report is to warn that the indiscriminate use of anti-inflammatory drugs can lead to serious injuries, putting the lives of pets at risk.
Acidentes com abelhas (apitoxinas) : relato de caso
(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2011-05-30) SILVA, Ana Paula Teixeira da; SAWADA, Marina Lie; PINHEIRO, Alessandra de Oliveira; TORRES, Maria Lúcia Marcucci
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.
Aspectos clínicos da atrofia progressiva generalizada da retina em cães
(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2019-09-18) PASSOS, Dayara Inês; FERMINO, Patrícia de Fátima; TORRES, Maria Lúcia Marcucci
Hereditary retinal diseases affect both humans and animals. Generalized progressive retinal atrophy (APGR) is a prolonged and progressive retinal degeneration due to inherited autosomal recessive mutations in genes expressed in photoreceptors and in the retinal pigment epithelium. Clinically, bilateral mydriasis, night blindness, decreased or absent pupillary reflex are observed. The diagnosis is based on clinical history, ophthalmological examination, ultrasound and electroretinography as complementary tests. For these facts, the science of this pathology is important for its identification, in order to avoid its multiplication.
Aspectos da ceratoconjuntivite seca (CCS) em cães e gatos: revisão de literatura
(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2019-09-18) LIMA, Amanda Curcio de; ARAÚJO, João Pedro Alves de; TORRES, Maria Lúcia Marcucci; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida Furlanetto
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (CCS) or dry eye is a chronic inflammatory eye disease, often diagnosed in dogs and more rarely in felines. It is a disorder of the precorneal tear film, which results in a deficiency of the aqueous fraction or the mucin and/or lipid layers of the tear film, leading to inflammation of the conjunctiva and cornea, pain and reduced vision. The Schirmer tear test (TLS) is considered the main means of diagnosis. There are several causes for the onset of the disease, but the immune-mediated is believed to be the most common. Treatment is usually recommended in the use of tear stimulants and tear mimetics in addition to antimicrobials. The objective of this work was to expand the knowledge about CCS, a very common disease in veterinary medicine.
Coinfecção por hemoparasitos em cão assintomático : relato de caso
(Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2023-10-18) PINHO, Bruna Candido; SANTOS, Bruna Pan dos; MICHELETTI, Carolina Dantas; FERREIRA, Maria Eliza; TORRES, Maria Lúcia Marcucci
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. .

Demodicosis is a chronic dermatological disease of genetic predisposition that affects dogs. It is caused by the mite Demodex canis, which is a natural inhabitant of the skin of these animals. The diagnosis is made through skin scraping. An animal of the canine species, female, nine months old, mixed breed, with fourteen kilos of body weight was sent to the Veterinary Hospital, for an ovariosalpingohisterectomy when it was found that she presented a dermatological picture, compatible with demodicosis, A physical examination was performed and a skin scrape, in which he detected the presence of the demodex canis mite, was prescribed Doxycycline (Doxitin ®), Dipyrone (Dipyrone ®), Ivermectin 1% (Mectimax®), and My pet®. (D -Fenotrine and Piriproxifen). After 30 days the animal returned a little better compared to the first consultation, but the owner reported that he used Doxitin ® but did not give Mectimax ® or passed My pet ® (D-Phenotrine and Piriproxifen). On this day it was Amitraz and Ivermectin. On the second return after 70 days, the animal had a significant improvement, but the owner made use of Ivermectin and a drug based on fipronil.

Canine atopic dermatitis is a skin disease of genetic origin that occurs in response to a hypersensitivity reaction to environmental antigens, characterized by intense itching and self-induced, reddish lesions on the skin, which can lead to secondary infections. Some breeds are more affected; the diagnosis is most often presumptive and can be closed by means of specific allergic tests. Therapy can last for the life of the animal. A five-year-old male labrador dog was admitted to the veterinary hospital due to a severe skin condition where a physical examination, skin scraping and wood lamp were performed and a fur culture was requested in order to arrive at a diagnosis. conclusive. However, only the fur culture was positive for dermatophyte. Dermatophytosis treatment was performed with a shampoo based on: 2% chlorhexidine, 3% miconazole, feed change due to suspected hypersensitivity. food, use of ectoparasiticides for suspected Flea Bite Allergic Dermatitis and treatment with antibiotics (cephalexin) for the presence of secondary bacterial infection. Due to the persistence of dermatopathy, it was diagnosed as atopic to the exclusion of other suspicions.

Canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) is a multifactorial pathology, of type I hypersensitivity with IgE production and dependent on the animal's immune system, its breed, age, place where it lives and seasonality. In addition, it may be related to other conditions, such as food hypersensitivity and allergic dermatitis to ectoparasite bites (DAPE), or present symptoms very similar to other skin diseases. Regarding the clinical signs, the animal presents pruritus, alopecia, edema, lichenification, hyperpigmentation, pustules, hyperkeratosis, ferruginous dyschromia and secondary infections. Therefore, the diagnosis of CAD is based on a complete anamnesis, clinical signs, general clinical, dermatological and complementary exams for a diagnosis of exclusion. Thus, the treatment is lifelong and is based on the control of clinical symptoms, consisting of the use of topical therapies, desensitization, fatty acids, antihistamines and occasionally immunosuppressive drugs. The prognosis is good, although there is no cure, control can be performed promoting a quality of life for the patient.

Helicobacter spp. are bacteria that colonize the gastric mucosa of several species, and H. pylori is not described as the main microorganism found in the gastric mucosa of dogs and cats. Dogs are usually asymptomatic, but when they show clinical signs, chronic emesis is often seen. The diagnosis can be confirmed through the rapid urease test, serology, cytology and histopathological examination, and treatment is performed when there are clinical signs. The present work describes a case of chronic gastritis caused by H. pylori, diagnosed through biopsy, collected by endoscopy associated with the urease test. The treatment was based on the use of antibiotic therapy (azithromycin associated with metronidazole) and gastric protectors.

(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2019-09-18) ANDREACI, Fernanda Lepri; SANTOS, Larissa Andressa Ripari dos; PINHEIRO, Rafaela Cristiane Francisco; TORRES, Maria Lúcia Marcucci
Glaucoma is a serious disease that affects numerous species, being one of the main responsible for blindness in dogs, and in cats at a lower incidence, leading to a degeneration of nervous structures and progressive loss of vision, thus causing irreversible blindness. The main associated factor is the increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) caused by the reduction or obstruction of aqueous humor drainage. Among the diagnostic methods are ophthalmoscopy, gonioscopy and application tonometry. The main objective of clinical treatment is to provide temporary relief and with the progression of the disease, surgical intervention can be performed. As the condition has a progressive character, it causes irreversible visual damage, leading the animal to loss of vision. The purpose of this article is to review the literature on glaucoma in dogs and cats.
