Tracheal laceration can have several causes, among them by run over, bite, projectile andiatrogeny. Tracheal lesions, although uncommon in companion animals, deserve specialattention, since, depending on the severity, they may cause death to the affected patients.The treatment may be conservative or surgical, being the choice dependent on thepresentation of the patient. This study is a case report of a laceration of the trachea in a dogby trampling, whose treatment of choice was the surgical one due to the critical state inwhich the animal presented itself. It all went well, the animal recovered quickly and well.(AU)

The method of fixation should be well tolerated and its application must be made in theshortest possible surgery and anesthesia times. This report describes the surgicalmanagement of a Harris's hawk who, on orthopedic examination, had functional impotenceof the pelvic limb right. A transverse complete fracture of the tibiotarsus was observed onradiographic examination. Closed fracture reduction was chosen and osteosynthesis withhybrid external fixator with tied-in intramedullary pin. After 30 days it was bone healingwas confirmed.(AU)
