RESUMO
Relatou-se a ocorrência de fratura patelar associada à ruptura do tendão patelar em um cão sem raça definida, macho, atendido em um hospital veterinário escola. A técnica utilizada foi a combinação de fixação óssea com fio de Kirschner e aplicação de banda de tensão, recomendada em fraturas transversais da patela. Para reparar a lesão do tendão patelar, realizou-se a sutura tipo Kessler modificada com fio de náilon 0,80mm. No retorno do paciente, 150 dias após o procedimento cirúrgico, havia processo cicatricial ósseo avançado da patela. Concluiu-se que as medidas adotadas para reparação da lesão foram eficazes.
It is reported the occurrence of patellar fracture associated with rupture of the patellar tendon in a mongrel male dog referred to a Teaching Veterinary Hospital.

This study is a contribution to the ex situ and in situ conservation and preservation of Sloths. The behavioral records of the social interaction between mothers and offspring allow the detection of important learning interactions and psychomotor development. The results provide valuable information that may assist in improving management conditions of captive orphan progeny. They also favor a more effective monitoring of released or transferred specimens. Age is of fundamental importance in deciding what is important during the release, transfer, or reintroduction of the species
