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.

Intoxicação por Aldicarb (chumbinho) em um felino Relato de Caso / Aldicarb (chumbinho) poisoning in a feline - Case report

Aldicarb its a carbamate popularly known as “chumbinho” a pesticide very popular inBrazil, although his use is illegal because of your high toxicity. The poisoning by aldicarbin dogs and cats can be criminal or accidental, being an emergency in Veterinary Medicine.This study is a report of a clinic case of an accidental poisoning by aldicarb in a cat, thatdies two days after ingestion. The necropsy was made and the main finding was ahemorrhagic catarrhal gastroenteritis with tiny gray granules,compatibles with carbamate.The diagnosis was made based on the history and necropsy findings that suggests that thecause of death was a respiratory failure.(AU)

Intoxicação por ivermectina em cão da raça Maltês Relato de Caso / Ivermectin poisoning in a Maltese dog: a case report

Ivermectin is an anti-parasite medication widely used in Veterinary Medicine.Nevertheless, factors such as its easy acquisition and incorrect administration by petowners can lead to poisoning. This study reports a clinical case of a Maltese dogintoxicated by ivermectin. A 4-years-old male Maltese dog, weighging 3,05kg was referredto the Veterinary Hospital of the State University of Ceará, presenting incoordination,oliguria,sialorrhea, mydriasis and involuntary muscle spasms after 48 hours afterinnapropiate adsministration of a ivermectin. On physical examination, hypothermia,hypermetria and hyperesthesia were observed. Full blood count and biochemical profilewere requested. Supportive treatment with lactated Ringers solution fluid therapy, vitaminB complex and patient warming was conducted. The animal showed a significant clinicalimprovement and total recovered a week later.(AU)

Fibrossarcoma cutâneo em quati (Nasua nasua): relato de caso / In situ corneal squamous cell carcinom a induced by alkali burn in a dog

Fibrossarcomas são neoplasias malignas com origem no tecido conjuntivo, que acometem comumente cãese gatos idosos, sendo já descritas em algumas espécies de animais selvagens. Seu diagnóstico baseia-se nossinais clínicos, exame citopatológico, porém a confirmação é dada com a histopatologia. O prognóstico é reservadoe o tratamento de escolha é a excisão cirúrgica com ampla margem de segurança, no entanto outrosmétodos de tratamento podem ser usados como a criocirurgia, radioterapia, imunoterapia e quimioterapia.Um espécime de quati, fêmea, pertencente ao acervo do Parque Zoobotânico “Getúlio Vargas” Zoológicode Salvador deu entrada no setor de clínica e quarentena da instituição, apresentando 5 lesões ulcerativasno dorso, firmes ao toque, úmidas e com crostas nas bordas, não cicatrizante e com mais ou menos 2 centímetrosde diâmetro cada. Inicialmente foi instituído tratamento clínico com antibiótico e antiinflamatóriotópico e sistêmico, não observando, após 9 dias de tratamento, melhoras significativas do quadro,e portantoo animal foi encaminhado para excérese cirúrgica das lesões e encaminhamento para avaliação histopatológica.Realizou-se excisão cirúrgica das lesões com 2 centímetros de margem de segurança, e os fragmentosenviados ao laboratório para análise histopatológica. De acordo com os achados macroscópicos e microscópicosfoi diagnosticado fibrossarcoma de moderado grau de diferenciação. A excisão cirúrgica mostrou-seeficaz no caso em estudo, pois o animal respondeu bem ao pós-cirúrgico e não apresentou recidivas até omomento, 30 meses após a cirurgia. De acordo com a literatura consultada, este parece ser o primeiro casorelato de fibrossarcoma cutâneo de moderado grau de diferenciação em quati.(AU)

Fibrosarcomas are tumors originating from malignant tissue, which commonly affects older dogs andcats, has been described in some species of wildlife. Its diagnosis is based on clinical signs, cytologicalexamination, but confirmation is given by histopathology. The prognosis and treatment of choice is surgicalexcision with wide safety margin, however other methods of treatment can be used as cryosurgery,radiotherapy, immunotherapy and chemotherapy. A specimen of coati, female belonging to the collectionof Parque Zoobotânico ¨Getúlio Vargas” - Salvador Zoo was admitted to the medical and quarantinesector of institution, presenting five ulcerative lesions on the back, firm to the touch, moist and crustyaround the edges, non-scarring and about 2 cm diameter. It was initially established clinical treatmentwith antibiotics and anti-inflammatory topical and systemic, but after 9 days of treatment, no significantimprovements was observed, and therefore the animal was sent to surgical exeresis of lesions for histopathological evaluation and referral. We carried out surgical excision of lesions with 2 cm margin ofsafety, and to the laboratory for histopathological analysis. According to the macroscopic and microscopicfounding fibrosarcoma was diagnosed with moderate degree of differentiation. The surgical excisionwas effective in our case, because the animal responded well to post surgery and had no recurrence 30months after surgery. According to the consulted literature, this seems to be a first case report of cutaneousfibrosarcoma with moderate degree of differentiation in coati.(AU)
