Tromboembolismo em felino com cardiomiopatia hipertrófica associada / Feline thromboembolism with associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Thrombus is the term used to denote the blood clot formed inside the heart or inside blood vessels. These thrombi can detach and lodge in any artery, causing arterial thromboembolism, which is a frequent complication in feline patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Clinical signs vary depending on the stage of disease progression and thrombus location. For the treatment, it is necessary to use potent analgesics and antithrombotic drugs / anticoagulants, in order to prevent relapses. This paper aims to describe a case of aortic thromboembolism (TEA) in a feline with associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

Intoxicação por cetoprofeno em cão / Ketoprofen intoxication in dog

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in human and veterinary medicine because of their analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties, however, they are drugs frequently involved in small animal intoxications. Although its use is safe in dogs, there is a risk of promoting renal and gastrointestinal toxicity, and some authors have observed in this species digestive lesions with clinical manifestations that are noteworthy after the use of non-selective COX-2 NSAIDs, such as ketoprofen. Thus, the objective of this work is to report a case of ketoprofen intoxication in dogs.

Enterotomia para retirada de fecaloma com evolução de 2 anos: relato de caso / Enterotomy for withdrawal of fecaloma with evolution of 2 years: case report

Fecaloma or fecolyte refers to the accumulation of feces that become dry, compacted and retained inside the large intestine where they dehydrate and solidify, leading to intestinal constipation. Its etiology is quite heterogeneous, ranging from infections and intestinal tumors, inadequate water consumption, dehydration, unbalanced diet or ingestion of foreign materials. For the treatment, it is possible to perform drug therapy in order to lubricate the intestinal contents and allow it to be moved to the final portion of the rectum and finally expelled from the organism or, depending on the case, surgical intervention is chosen. In this study, a case of fecaloma treated with enterotomy in Fortaleza will be reported.(AU)

Urolitíase em Schnauzer: uma abordagem clínica e cirúrgica / Urolithiasis in Schnauzer: a clinical and surgical approach

The urolithiasis in dogs is a very common disease in the veterinary clinic. It is characterized by mineralized salt accumulation in some region of the urinary tract and is more common in areas of the bladder and urethra, but rare in the kidneys and ureters. This study aims to report a case of urolithiasis in dog. It was answered in Clinical Veterinary ETAVE, Fortaleza, Ceará, a female, race Schnauzer, 10 years old, whose diet consisted of food and home cooking. There were made physical and complementary examinations of the animal, establishing the diagnosis of urolithiasis. Cystotomy was prescribed to remove the uroliths of the bladder, as well as medicine and the animal dietary modification. The uroliths were characterized as mixed. Surgical treatment associated with therapeutic diets is an excellent option for the control of relapses.
