Exérese cirúrgica das lesões de um felino com micobacteriose cutânea atípica / Surgical debridement of the injuries of a feline with Atypical Skin Mycobacteriosis

As micobacterioses são bacilos resistentes a ácidos, causando doença crônica e progressiva em animais. Os felinos podem ser suscetíveis a infecções por micobactérias, especialmente quando há imunossupressão causada por retrovírus e / ou lesões por combate. O objetivo deste artigo é relatar um caso de micobacteriose felina atípica. Foi tratado em uma clínica veterinária particular, um felino, feminino, com histórico de ovariosalpingohisterectomia por um mês e com lesões fistulares na região da cirurgia. Foi realizada biópsia incisional e avaliação histopatológica, onde a análise foi compatível com micobacteriose atípica. A ressecção cirúrgica da maioria dos tecidos afetados foi realizada e a antibioticoterapia foi iniciada com marbofloxacina 2,2 mg / kg, SID, por 7 dias. Em vista do diagnóstico definitivo de micobacteriose atípica, doxiciclina 5 mg / kg, BID, foi adicionada à terapia por 90 dias, com regressão total da doença. A combinação de medicamentos com exérese cirúrgica é uma boa combinação terapêutica para uma remissão mais rápida da condição clínica.

Mycobacteriosis are acid-resistant bacilli causing chronic and progressive disease in animals. Felines may be susceptible to mycobacterial infections, especially when there is immunosuppression caused by retroviruses and / or fight injuries. The aim of this paper is to report a case of atypical feline mycobacteriosis. Was treated at a private veterinary clinic, a feline, female with a history of ovariosalpingohisterectomy for a month and with fistular lesions in the region of surgery. An incisional biopsy and histopathological evaluation were performed, where the analysis was compatible with atypical mycobacteriosis. Surgical resection of most of the affected tissue was performed and antibiotic therapy was started using marbofloxacin 2.2 mg/kg, SID, for 7 days. In view of the definitive diagnosis of atypical mycobacteriosis, doxycycline 5 mg/kg, BID, was added to the therapy for 90 days, with total regression of the condition. Combination of drugs with surgical exeresis is a good therapeutic combination for a faster remission of the clinical condition.

Doença intestinal inflamatória em felino / Inflammatory bowel disease in feline

Inflammatory bowel disease is a term that designates a set of pathologies mediated by the immune system. The objective of this work is to present a case report that shows the intestinal inflammatory bowel disease in a feline of 12 years. The animal had a history of chronic vomiting and progressive weight loss. Complete blood count, biochemistry and ultrasound were requested, showing anemia, leukocytosis with neutrophilia, normal biochemistry and ultrasonographic appearance compatible with advanced inflammatory disease or neoplasia. A supportive treatment was prescribed until exploratory laparotomy and incisional biopsy were performed. Reactive mesentery, lymphadenomegaly, severe thickening of the jejunal walls were found. Histopathology revealed a plasmacytic infiltrate in lamina propria and a greater amount of intraepithelial lymphocytes. It was prescribed a treatment with prednisolone, cobalamin supplementation and hypoallergenic diet. After 21 days, there was remission of clinical signs.(AU)

Parâmetros reprodutivos de caprinos da raça Canindé e Alpina Britânica nos Estados do Piauí e Ceará / Reproductive parameters of goats of the breed Canindé and British Alpine in the States of Piauí and Ceará

The objective of this study was to evaluate reproductive parameters of Canindé and British Alpine goatsin the states of Piauí and Ceará by measuring scrotal circumference (CE) and seminal parameters of eightanimals (Canindé (4) and British Alpine (4). Four samples were collected from each animal with the aid of anartificial vagina, after which each ejaculate was evaluated for volume, sperm concentration, total andprogressive mass motility, percentage of motile spermatozoa and vigor. Data were expressed as mean andstandard deviation and analyzed using the statistical program Graphpad Prism®. Although the values ofprogressive motility, scrotal circumference and volume were significantly higher in the British Alpine breed, thetwo races of the present study presented values regarding total motility and vigor within the one recommendedby the CBRA. Thus, the semen of the two breeds can be used for artificial insemination, germplasm bankformation and genetic breeding.(AU)

Meio de preservação à base de água de coco em pó (ACP-102c) é eficaz na manutenção da atividade mitocondrial de espermatozoides ovinos criopreservados / Preservation medium based on powdered coconut water (ACP-102c) is effective in the maintenance of mitochondrial activity of cryopreserved ram sperm

The study aimed to evaluate the mitochondrial activity of cryopreserved ram sperm preserved inmedium based on powdered coconut water (ACP-102c). Five sperm collections of two rams were held. Eachejaculate was divided into two treatments: T1 (ACP-102c+egg yolk+glycerol) and T2 (TRIS+eggyolk+glycerol). After dilution, the samples were filled into 0.5 ml straws, chilled to 4 °C and stabilized for 2 h.They were then frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen at -196°C. The activity mitochondrial of treatments wereevaluated in time 0h and post-thawing. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and submitted to theShapiro-Wilk normality test and subsequently suffered angular transformation into arcsine of percentages. Theresults were considered significant when P < 0.05. There was no significant difference between treatments. Itwas concluded that ACP-102c was able to maintain mitochondrial activity pot-thawing.(AU)
