Lipoma em ganso-africano mantido como pet / Lipoma in African goose kept as pet

Os lipomas são proliferações benignas de adipócitos, caracterizadas pelo crescimento progressivo lento a rápido. Geralmente, formam-se a partir de massas subcutâneas em aves obesas, especialmente em periquito-australiano, cacatua e papagaio. Este tecido adiposo hiperplásico pode se desenvolver em qualquer parte do corpo, mas é mais frequente ao longo da quilha, região abdominal ventral, e na parte interna das coxas em aves. O caso retrata o diagnóstico e o tratamento de um lipoma em um ganso africano mantido em cativeiro na região de Fortaleza, CE.(AU)

Lipomas are benign proliferations of adipocytes characterized by slow to rapid progressive growth. Generally, they are formed from subcutaneous masses in obese birds, especially in Australian parakeet, cacatua and parrot. This hyperplastic adipose tissue can develop in any part of the body, but is more frequent along the keel, ventral abdominal region and the inner thighs in birds. The case reports the diagnosis and treatment of a lipoma in African goose kept in captivity in Fortaleza, CE. (AU)

Ressecção cirúrgica do metatarso em ave por avulsão traumática de dígito / Metatarsus surgical resection in bird by traumatic digit avulsion

No panorama social atual, as aves representam, de um modo geral, as espécies da fauna silvestre que mais são mantidas como animais de companhia, de modo que a criação de aves em cativeiro como animais domésticos está sendo popularizada. Isso se justifica não somente pelo aumento no número desses animais que vêm sendo mantidos por proprietários e criadores, como também pelo progresso no que diz respeito aos conhecimentos sanitários, zootécnicos e nutricionais. O desenvolvimento deste mercado no Brasil exige cada vez mais uma capacitação pelo médico-veterinário, visto que, um manejo incorreto, assim como as gaiolas, viveiros, poleiros e objetos de formato e materiais impróprios, podem levar ao aparecimento de lesões que, se tratadas de forma inadequada, causam sérios riscos à saúde do animal. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar um caso de ressecção cirúrgica do metatarso em um psitacídeo da espécie Eupsittula aurea após uma lesão que levou à automutilação com avulsão traumática de dígito pela ave, avaliando o tratamento utilizado para sanar essa enfermidade.(AU)

In the current social context, the birds represent, in general, the species of the wild fauna that are most kept as pet animals, in a way that the captive breeding of birds as pets is being popularized. This is justified not only by the increase in the number of these animals being kept by owners and breeders, but also by the progress in health, zootechnical and nutritional knowledge. The development of this market in Brazil, increasingly requires veterinarians capacity by the veterinarian, since an inadequate handling, as the uses of small cages and nurseries, perches and objects of inadequate forms and materials, can take to the incidence of injuries that, if mistreated can, cause real risk to the animal health. This current work has the objective of relate a case of metatarsus surgical resection in a psittacine of the species Eupsittula aurea after an injury that led to self-mutilation with traumatic digit avulsion of the bird, analyzing the treatment utilized to heal this disease.(AU)

Obstrução gástrica por ingestão de castanha de caju em iguana / Gastric obstruction by ingestion of cashew nut in iguana

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)

Resolução de abscesso intraocular em coelho doméstico com uso de gatifloxacino / Resolution of intraocular abscess in domestic rabbit with antibiotic therapy

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)

Encefalopatia hepática em Amazona aestiva / Hepatic encephalopathy in Amazonas aestiva

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)
