ABSTRACT
Canine ehrlichiosis is a disease caused by species of genus Ehrlichia with great importance in veterinary. The clinical signs as well as haematological changes are variable and it is necessary to use other more specific diagnostic methods. The present work reports the case of a female dog, SRD, presenting hyperthermia, convulsion, uveitis, nystagmus, myoclonus, ataxia, prostration and lymphadenitis. The necropsy report was suggestive of ehrlichiosis.(AU)

A dog showing lameness and pain at the right forelimb was treated at the Laboratory of Clinical and Surgery of dogs and cats of the University Veterinary Hospital of CPCE/UFPI and the diagnosis of complete fracture by avulsion of the right ulna at the olecranon region with presence of free bone fragment was confirmed by radiographic examination. The clinical treatment consisted in the use of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and systemic analgesic in addition to use of local healing ointment. It was performed surgical correction of free bone fragment by olecranon osteotomy.(AU)
