RESUMO
Background: The occurrence of neonatal diseases and neonatal deaths in canines are considered higher in the first days of life of individuals and bacterial diseases are considered the second most common cause. Inflammation of the mesothelial lining of the abdominal cavity is referred peritonitis, which can be classified as primary or secondary and there is no description on the occurrence of canine fetal peritonitis in the veterinary literature. The objective of this study is to describe a case of canine fetus peritonitis, presenting abnormal sonographic findings of the fetus and abnormalities identified after birth that were not yet described in veterinary literature. Case: A female Poodle, six years of age, considered healthy and without clinical complications during the gestational period, was referred for sonographic evaluation at the end of the pregnancy, in order to evaluate of the fetal viability and estimate the gestational period. By ultrasound examination, two canine fetuses were identified and based on its morphogenesis and biparietal diameter, the estimated gestational age was approximately 58 days. On the individual examination of each of the fetus by ultrasound, it was found that one of them had normal sonographic findings and on the second canine fetus it was found an increase of the intra-abdominal echogenicity of tissues, loss of the sonographic definition [...]

O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso de onfalocele em cão, detectada pelo exame ultrassonográfico gestacional. Foi visualizado aumento da quantidade de líquido amniótico com presença de estruturas tubulares ecogênicas flutuantes que se inseriam em região umbilical de um feto, sugerindo herniação de alças intestinais. Apesar da dificuldade de se diagnosticar malformações congênitas pela ultrassonografia, em função do número e tamanho dos fetos caninos, o exame mostrou sensibilidade na detecção da onfalocele fetal. Devido à escassez de referências bibliográficas acerca de más-formações congênitas diagnosticadas pelo exame ultrassonográfico em cães, é necessário que sejam relatados todos os casos encontrados
This paper describes a case of omphalocele in a dog, detected through the gestational ultrasound exam. It was observed an increase of amniotic liquid amount with the presence of floating echogenic tubular structures that were inserted in the umbilical region, suggesting intestinal loops herniation. Although it is usually difficult to diagnose congenital malformations by the ultrasound exam during pregnancy, due to the number and size of the canine fetuses, in this case the exam was successful in detecting fetal omphalocele. It is necessary to increase the records of congenital malformations observed through ultrasound exam in dogs in order to improve the literature review of this issue
