ABSTRACT
Desde a sua domesticação o equino tem sido utilizado em diversos tipos de atividade, a fim de atender necessidades humanas. Recentemente tem-se crescido o interesse do uso desses animais em atividades de esporte e lazer, de tal modo que estes passaram a ser vistos como atletas, tendo de manter altos índices de desempenho e estando susceptíveis aos mais diversos tipos de lesões. Avanços recentes nas áreas da medicina esportiva, fisioterapia e reabilitação equina têm auxiliado no processo de recuperação desses animais e retomada do desempenho atlético após períodos de inatividade por lesão. Assim a presente revisão tem por objetivo caracterizar as técnicas de fisioterapia e reabilitação equina bem como apontar as principais indicações de cada uma destas.(AU)
Horses has been used as different purposes to support humans, since it domestication. There is an increase of interest on its use for competition and entertainment and this require high performance levels of these animals witch became them susceptible to injuries. Recent advances on equine sports medicine, physical therapy and rehabilitation have helped on recovery after inactivity period by injury. The aim of this review is to characterize physical therapy and rehabilitation techniques and to show its main indications.(AU)

Over the years, the national sheep industry obtained an increase in its population, even with the climatic adversities such as drought that consequently cause a shortage of food, thereby increasing the intoxications by toxic plants. Each year the discovery of toxic plants is increasing, having a great importance in veterinary medicine, for the diagnosis of certain disorders that may come to affect the equines, cattle, sheep and goats. The present work reports the poisoning by Tephrosia cinérea in a sheep, with the purported diagnosis, treatment to recovery of the animal.

The aim of this paper is to describe an attempt to correct a thoracic trauma with drilling and sternum fracture in a filly. Cleaning the thoracic cavity was made, muscle graft placement, reduction and synthesis subcutaneous space of the skin. Recommended antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-tetanus serum and rest. Despite the efforts the animal came to death days later because of postsurgical complications.

The navicular syndrome is a high relevance pathology. It is one of the chronic disease that most attacks equines 4 to 15 years. Several factors as faulty genetic predisposition in the blood circulation for the region of the navicular, biomechanical factors, imperfect resignation and instability of the hoof are proposed like as etiological actors. The aim of this study was report a case of navicular bone syndrome in equine and bring forward the discussed therapeutic conducts. In the physical exam, the animal presented accented claudication on step and the illness was diagnosed through the x-ray and from there, neurectomia was carried out. After the surgical treatment, the animal was treated and discharged for not demonstrating painful signs. There is no remedial treatment for the illness, therefore when the first clinical signs appear, it must be taken the proper steps so does not compromising the life of the animal.

The purpose of this report was to describe the successful treatment of cutaneous habronemiasis using dexamethasone, triclorfon and policresulen in nitrofurasone ointment. The active action of these components is an anti-inflammatory effect and the removal of necrotic tissue. The ointment was effective for topical use on cutaneous habronemiasis when combined to systemic therapeutical approach and improvement of health management of stalls and stables.
