RESUMO

Background: The nylon clamp, marketed as an accessory of electrical devices, has been used as an alternative method for definitive surgical hemostasis by ligature of arteriovenous vessels in ovariosalpingohisterectomy (OSH) in bitches and female cats. However, since May 2015, the Brazilian Veterinary Statutory Body (CFMV - Conselho Federal de Medicina Veterinária) banned its application, once it is a material still not regulated to be used in animals, in addition to the numerous reports of postoperative complications. This paper reports the migration of the clamp used in the OSH to the urinary bladder of the cat and the implications of the presence of the foreign body, in addition to discussing the use of this device in surgeries. Case: A 1-year-old Persian female cat, which, three months after an elective OSH in a private veterinary clinic, presented polyuria and hematuria. The patient presented pain at abdominal palpation; in the WBC were observed leucopenia and eosinophilia, indicating a chronic inflammatory process installed; the urinalysis showed the presence of crystals, increased urinary density, milky aspect indicating presence of pus, proteinuria and hematuria; on ultrasound were observed the presence of two amorphous mobile structures inside the bladder, producing acoustic shadow, measuring approximately 0.4 and 0.6 cm in diameter, suggesting the presence of bladder urolithiasis. Considering the results, the patient was sent for a cystotomy. The association of acepromazine (0.02 mg/kg), midazolam (0.2 mg/kg), morphine (0.2 mg/kg) and ketamine (10 mg/kg) was used intramuscularly as preanesthetic medication. For anesthetic induction, 5 mg/kg of propofol was applied intravenously, in addition to epidural anesthesia with 1 mL/4 kg of lidocaine along 0.1 mg/kg of morphine and, for maintenance, isoflurane in oxygen at 100%...(AU)

RESUMO

Background: Canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is a peculiar neoplasm resulting from the transmission of hostcancerous cells to another canid by implantation. Transmission occurs among reproductive age dogs, especially thosewith unrestricted sexual activity. It usually occurs on the external genitalia of dogs and other areas are unusual. However,implants have been described in injured mucosa, as well as metastases in lymph nodes, spleen, skin, anus and perianalspace, oral mucosa, nasal mucosa, eyeball and brain. The purpose of this report is to describe the first case of exclusivelyextragenital ocular CTVT in a prepubescent female dog.Case: A 6-month-old mixed-breed, non-spayed and prepubescent female dog, showing a fast-growing reddish-coloredmass in the right eye (RE), was examined. Blepharospasm, mild serosanguineous secretion, chemosis and a smooth surfacereddish mass with 2.5 cm in length occupying the orbital area were observed during physical examination, impairing thevisualization of the right eyeball. For ocular ultrasonography examination of the affected eye, acepromazine was used (0.03mg/kg) associated with methadone (0.3 mg/kg) intramuscularly, and propofol (4 mg/kg) for induction and 0.2 mg/kg formaintenance, intravenously. Ultrasonography examination evidenced an amorphous hyperechogenic structure, medial tothe RE, with homogeneous echotexture, punctiform vascularization to amplitude Doppler (Power Doppler), measuring 2.8cm in length and 1.4 cm in diameter, causing eyeball distortion and rejection. Based on ultrasonography results and withthe patient still anesthetized, an incisional biopsy of the peribulbar mass was performed with a 5 mm disposable punch.The final CTVT diagnosis was possible after histopathological analysis. No more CTVT nodules were found, especiallyin the vulva, which had a prepubescent appearance, consistent with age. Treatment...(AU)

RESUMO

O uso do diagnóstico ultrassonográfico especialmente em pequenos animais vem se tornando uma prática cada vez mais comum na rotina clinica médico veterinária. O presente estudo teve como objetivo quantificar e analisar os exames ultrassonográficos realizados em pacientes felinos no Hospital Veterinário da UFG/REJ durante o ano de 2017. Por meio do levantamento dos dados constatou-se que foram realizados 208 diagnósticos por imagem por meio da ultrassonografia, onde 29,33%, 29%, 8% e 3% dos casos correspondem a patologias dos sistemas digestório, urinário, reprodutivo e respiratório respectivamente. Dessa forma este estudo retrospectivo permitiu identificar e quantificar, quais são os achados e as patologias mais frequente em felinos em nossa rotina clínica, demonstrando também a importância da aplicabilidade da ultrassonografia para o diagnóstico das enfermidades.(AU)
