Contribuição do exame ultrassonográfico no diagnóstico da doença retal policística em um cão da raça poodle

Abstract

Polycystic Kidney Disease (DRP) affects the kidneys through the formation of cavitary structures with liquid content (cyst), being commonly found in the feline species with long hair, most often of hereditary origin, resulting in chronic renal failure. PDD in the canine species has been described in the Cairn Terriers breed, being of hereditary origin and in the Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso breeds, of acquired origin. This report aims to describe polycystic kidney disease in a dog of the Poodle breed who had chronic renal failure.
