ABSTRACT
Gastric obstructions in reptiles due to the ingestion of foreign bodies may be the result of inadequate nutritional management, stress or by mistake in food seizures. If it is difficult to diagnose the obstruction through radiography, the animal may die. This paper reports the case of a gastric obstruction by a cashew nut (Anacardium occidentale), occupying the entire lumen of the stomach in a female green iguana (Iguana iguana), of free life and in gestational period, identified only during necropsy.(AU)

Intraocular abscesses usually have an indication of surgical resolution, since drainage is not indicated when it occurs in this region. The gift study objective is to report the clinical resolution of an intraocular abscess with the topical antibiotictherapy. A rabbit, female, four years old, was atended at the Hospital Veterinarian Jerônimo Dix-Huit Rosado Maia with the complaint of ocular inflammation. During physical examination was verified inflammation and content caseous intraocular. An improvement in infection was also perceived, thus deciding to continue the conservative treatment with the antibiotic. After 29 days of treatment, a complete reversal of the abscess was observed, resulting only in a corneal opacity, suggestive of scar tissue. It was concluded that gatifloxacin was effective in the treatment of intraocular abscess, thus alternative treatment before deciding on enucleation.(AU)

A Turquoise-fronted Parrot (Amazona aestiva) was attended at the Veterinary Hospital Dr. Jerônimo Dix-Huit Rosado Maia - HOVET UFERSA presenting changes suggestive of hepatic, apathetic disease, below-average body score and with diarrhea. After correction of the diet and initial treatment with anti-inflammatory and essential amino acids, the animal returned with episodes of seizures, suggesting clinical diagnosis for hepatic encephalopathy. Treatment with silymarin (at a dose of 75 mg / kg orally -VO) twice daily (BID) was instituted for 30 days, then extended for continuous use, thus achieving a stability in the general picture of the animal.(AU)

This is a case report of an early stage hepatic encephalopathy in a Eupsittula cactorum caused by inadequate nutritional management. The clinical suspicion was originated from the anamnesis and the clinical signs of the bird. Blood samples were collected for hemoparasites analysis, complete blood count and uric acid, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) dosages. The treatment prescribed was the administration of hepatoprotective drugs and antibiotics combined with the dietary adequacy in order to reverse the clinical picture.(AU)
