RESUMO
Cutaneous horn is a skin disease with low incidence and few citations in the literature. This report describes a dog with multiple cutaneous lesions of papillomatosis and one giant cutaneous horn on the face. Two sessions of cryotherapy achieved complete remission of the lesions.
La corne cutanée est une maladie de la peau à faible incidence et peu citée dans la littérature. Cet article décrit un chien avec de multiples lésions cutanées de papillomatose et une corne cutanée géante sur la face. Deux séances de cryothérapie ont permis d'obtenir une rémission complète des lésions.
Los cuernos cutáneos son una lesion patológica de baja incidencia y con escasas menciones en la literatura. Este artículo describe un caso de un perro con multiples lesiones cutáneas de papilomatosis y un cuerno cutáneo gigante en la cara. Dos sesiones de crioterapia consiguieron una remisión completa de las lesiones.

Feline aural inflammatory polyps are non-neoplastic masses in the tympanic cavity or the Eustachian tube that can be observed in the ear canal of the cat and are a common cause of otitis externa and otitis media in young animals, with or without respiratory signs depending on the direction of polyp growth. Most of the polyps occurring in cats are unilateral. Otoscopy or video-otoscopy is necessary for its diagnosis, and treatment consists of the mechanical removal of the polyp and subsequent use of anti-inflammatory drugs. The aim of this paper was to report a case of bilateral inflammatory aural polyps in a kitten treated successfully by the minimally invasive technique of per-endoscopic trans-tympanic traction. A seven-month-old female mixed-breed cat, presenting bilateral ear discharge, was submitted to endoscopic examination of both ears and polypoid masses observed in each horizontal canal. Both polyps were grasped and pulled with a polypectomy snare through the otoendoscope. The patient received dexamethasone immediately after the procedure and a long-term oral corticosteroid protocol was established post-avulsion. It was concluded that otoendoscopy allowed an accurate and quick diagnosis, that the mass removal by per-endoscopic trans-tympanic traction was an effective treatment with no complications, and that bilateral occurrences could indicate a differential diagnosis,
RESUMO
In this study 12 different diets to cat flea larvae, Ctenocephalides felis felis (Bouché, 1835), were tested in the following formulations: 1 part of wheat germ and 1 part of bovine, equine or ovine dried blood; 20 parts of dog chow, 4 parts of bovine, equine or ovine dried blood and 1 part of brewers yeast; 20 parts of dog chow, 3 parts of bovine, equine or ovine dried blood and 2 parts of brewers yeast; and 100 parts of bovine, equine or ovine dried blood, 15 parts of dog chow and 5 parts of brewers yeast. All diets were mixed 1:5 with sand. Just as control flea feces and sand were used in the ratio of 1:20. To each formulations were made 6 repetitions then were placed 2 g of the tested diet per assay tube and 20 eggs from the cat flea laboratory colony at the Departament of Animal Parasitology of the Veterinary Institute at Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro. Diets containing bovine and equine dried blood and wheat germ in the ratio of 1:1 showed high percentage of emerged adults, respectively 7 3,3% and 71,6%, when compared with the diets with dog chow and brewers yeast in the ratio of 20:4:1 (65,8% and 57,5%) and 20:3:2 (62,5% and 64,1%). Diets containing ovine blood showed a percentage of emerged adults around 50%.
