Persistência do uraco em gato: relato de caso / Urachal persistence in a cat: case report

Relata-se o caso de um gato que apresentava persistência do uraco, cujos principais sinais clínicos, iniciados apenas aos cinco meses de idade foram micção através da cicatriz umbilical, hiperemia da área circunvizinha e presença de uma fístula no centro do umbigo. A afecção foi diagnosticada mediante exames clínico, laboratorial, ultra-sonográfico e radiográfico, especialmente pela cistografia

It is reported a case of a cat presenting persistence of the urachal. The symptoms only began at five months of age. The diagnosis was confirmed by the clinical, laboratorial, ultrasonographic and radiographic exams, especially by the cystography

Avaliaçäo do processo cicatricial utilizando Staphysagria e penicilina após rumenotomia experimental em caprinos / Evaluation of the healing process using Staphisagria and Penicilin after experimental \"rumetomia\"in caprinos

Com o objetivo de se avaliar a evoluçäo do processo cicatricial em caprinos submetidos a rumenotomia e tratados, no pós-cirúrgico, com Penicilina Benzantina e Staphisagria 6CH, 30 fêmeas adultas, sem raça definida, aparentemente sadias após exame clínico, foram divididas em tres grupos constituídos de dez animais.Após adaptaçäo às condiçöes de manejo, os animais foram submetidos a rumenotomia experimental e diariamente avaliados até o décimo quarto dia

Avaliaçäo do tempo de hemostasia em caprinos submetidos a tratamento prévio com Hamamelis 6 CH / Evaluation of the haemostasis period in Caprinos submitted to pre-treatment with Hamamelis 6CH

Com o objetivo de verificar a eficiência do Hamamelis 6CH como agente hemostático em animais da espécie caprina, 30 animais adultos e sem raça definida, sendo 4 machos e 26 fêmeas foram submetidos ao exame clínico e considerados aparentemente sadios. Em seguida foi realizada uma lavagem na face interna do pavilhäo auricular esquerdo com soluçäo fisiológica a 0,9 por cento, incisäo de pele de aproximadamente um centímetro de extensäo e, após o aparecimento de sangue, o cronômetro foi acionado

Chronic oral infections of cats and their relationship to persistent oral carriage of feline calici-, immunodeficiency, or leukemia viruses.

Two hundred and twenty-six cats from the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH), a cat shelter, and a purebred cattery were tested for chronic feline calicivirus (FCV), feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infections. Chronic oral carriage of FCV was present in about one-fifth of the cats in each of the groups. FIV infection was not present in the purebred cattery, was moderately prevalent (8%) in the pet population of cats examined at the VMTH for various complaints and was rampant in the cat shelter (21%). Unexpectedly high FeLV infection rates were found in the hospital cat population (28%) and in the purebred cattery (36%), but not in the cat shelter (1.4%). FCV and FeLV infections tended to occur early in life, whereas FIV infections tended to occur in older animals. From 43 to 100% of the cats in these environments had oral cavity disease ranging from mild gingivitis (23-46%), proliferative gingivitis (18-20%), periodontitis (3-32%) and periodontitis with involvement of extra-gingival tissues (7-27%). Cats infected solely with FCV did not have a greater likelihood of oral lesions, or more severe oral disease, than cats that were totally virus free. This was also true for cats infected solely with FeLV, or for cats dually infected with FeLV and FCV. Cats infected solely with FIV appeared to have a greater prevalence of oral cavity infections and their oral cavity disease tended to be more severe than cats without FIV infection. FIV-infected cats that were coinfected with either FCV, or with FCV and FeLV, had the highest prevalence of oral cavity infections and the most severe oral lesions.
