Item Megaesôfago secundário a persistência do quarto arco aórtico direito em felino: Relato de caso(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2024-10-09) TAGLIAFERRO, Karoline Saturnino; AZEVEDO, Giovana Helena da Silva; TORRES, Maria Lúcia MarcucciPersistence of the fourth right aortic arch is characterized by being a congenital vascular ring anomaly most commonly observed in dogs, considered rare in cats, comprising 95% of all vascular ring anomalies found in small animals. This condition results from malformations arising from changes in the embryogenesis of the aortic arches, where the right aortic arch persists in relation to the left aortic arch, leading to esophageal stenosis and, consequently, megaesophagus. The most evident clinical signs are regurgitation, weight loss, excessive appetite, apathy and discomfort after meals, in addition to dehydration and weakness, especially in puppies, in which dry food has recently been introduced. Respiratory signs may be associated with secondary aspiration pneumonia, due to megaesophagus. The diagnosis can be obtained through the analysis of clinical signs together with imaging tests, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and simple or contrast radiography of the cervicothoracic region, where esophageal dilatation is visualized mainly with the contrast medium. Treatment is performed through a surgical procedure together with adjustment of dietary management, with a reserved prognosis, according to the clinical picture of each individual. Thus, the present study aims to describe the case report of persistent fourth aortic arch with secondary megaesophagus in a feline, in which the surgical procedure was performed as a treatment method.Item Abordagem clinica e estratégias de manejo da cinomose em canídeos silvestres: Revisão bibliográfica(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2024-10-09) FARIA, Alex Takahashi de; CARVALHO, Ana Luisa Gonçalves de; TORRES, Maria Lúcia MarcucciThe 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.Item 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 MarcucciHemoparasitosis 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. .Item Úlcera de córnea em felinos(Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2022-09-09) PORCEL, Lidiane Moreira; TORRES, Maria Lúcia MarcucciThe cornea of cats is composed of four layers: epithelium, stroma, Descemet's membrane and endothelium. Corneal ulcer occurs when there is a rupture of the epithelial layer and exposure of the stroma, and can be classified according to its etiology and depth. In cases where only the epithelium is injured, the ulcer is called superficial, and when there is a loss of part of the stromal layer, it is called deep. Descemetocele occurs when the stromal layer is completely lost and Descemet's membrane is exposed. Corneal rupture occurs when Descemet's layer is completely lost. Corneal ulcer in cats is usually caused by trauma, but bacterial and viral infections such as Herpesvirus, corneal dryness and endocrine diseases are factors that can also culminate in its appearance. The clinical signs observed in patients with some type of corneal ulcer are: blepharospasm, epiphora, photophobia, conjunctival hyperemia, corneal edema and miosis. Treatment depends on the severity of the ulceration and the primary cause, and may be clinical with the use of topical antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and 1% atropine, or surgical using one or more procedures together.Item Hiperplasia Endometrial Cistica: Piometra(Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2022-09-09) SANTOS, Lauani Teresa Sala dos; GIÃO, Letycia Martuci; LORO, Maria Gabriela Soares; TORRES, Maria Lúcia MarcucciPyometra is a condition that affects the reproductive tract of females, characterized by the accumulation of purulent secretion in the uterine lumen that comes from cystic endometrial hyperplasia associated with a bacterial infection. It mainly affects middle-aged and elderly bitches and can present in two ways, with the cervix open or with the cervix closed. Its diagnosis is based on anamnesis, clinical signs, physical and complementary exams, with ultrasound being the most important. Symptoms include apathy, anorexia, lethargy, abdominal pain, emesis, polyuria, and polydipsia. The treatment of pyometra can be clinical or surgical, depending on the general condition of the patient and future reproductive purpose.Item Dermatite atópica canina: revisão de literatura(Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2022-09-09) ANDRADE, Camila Fernanda de; LANDGRAF, Leticia Chaim; DONEGÁ, Natália Silva Bueno; TORRES, Maria Lúcia MarcucciCanine 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.
