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)

The choice of the ideal anesthetic protocol must consider a number of factors, providing minimum anesthetic time, little cardiopulmonary depression and management of anesthesia must keep vital signs and physiological parameters monitored. Patients with neoplasia are even more important, because, normally, middle-aged or elderly animals show changes who qualified him as patients with risk category III or IV. The present study reports the case of a female dog SRD 10-year-old carrier of breast cancer submitted to unilateral mastectomy, highlighting the importance of the anesthetic protocol used.(AU)
