ABSTRACT A 5‐year‐old female capybara, conditioned ex situ before mating, was monitored by ultrasound to establish prenatal growth and assess fetal echo‐biometric variables. The records were taken twice weekly until delivery (i.e., 5 months). measurements included gestational sac width (GSW), height (GSH), length (GSL), crown‐rump (CRL), trunk diameter (TD), heart major axis (HMA), biparietal (BDP), femur (FL). sacs detected on the 25th day after mating (DAM), embryos appeared 42nd DAM,...

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a multifactorial which causes short- and long-term negative effects. Early detection crucial for prompt response to therapy, as well decrease mortality risk. Clinical scoring systems have been developed mostly in North America screening calves at risk or suspected of having BRD, these tools also applied subtropical tropical countries. However, it has unknown whether had the same accuracy environmental conditions. Therefore, this study evaluated 4 different...

Malaria-associated acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) often results in morbidity and mortality. Murine models to study malaria-associated ALI/ARDS have been described; we still lack a method of distinguishing which mice will develop before death. This work aimed characterize murine model demonstrate the first predict whether are suffering from DBA/2 infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA developing or hyperparasitemia (HP) were compared using histopathology, PaO...

Training is a management practice that should be used to facilitate routine care and of animals. If well planned, training promotes human-animal interactions enables the completion veterinary procedures required for effective health assessment with lower stress levels. Hence, it indicated whenever ancillary tests are needed. A captive adult female capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) housed in public research laboratory state São Paulo, Brazil, was this study. The animal expressed aversion...

The study aims were to evaluate the effects of radial shock wave therapy (RSWT) in dogs with hip osteoarthritis (OA) using clinical assessment and kinetic analysis.Thirty diagnosed bilateral OA 30 healthy used. In dogs, one limb was randomly selected for treatment RSWT while contralateral served as an untreated control. Dogs evaluated walking on a pressure walkway. Peak vertical force (PVF) impulse (VI) documented; symmetry index (SI) also calculated. Blinded evaluation performed visual...

Background: Physical exercise is known to cause significant joint changes.Thus, monitoring behavior of athletic horses essential in early disorders recognition, allowing the proper management. Objectives:The aims this study were determine morphological patterns, physical examination characteristics and ultrasound findings show jumping training establish a score-based model for follow-ups metacarpophalangeal changes these animals.Methods: A total 52 joints from 26 who initially taming stage...

A one-year-old female miniature goat was presented to an emergency service after calving a dead goatling. Physical and ultrasonographic examination revealed the presence of viable fetus; therefore, submitted cesarean section. In postoperative period, animal had septic peritonitis caused by Enterococcus faecium casseliflavus. Both bacterial strains showed contrasting antimicrobial resistance profiles. Laparohysterectomy abdominal cavity lavage were performed, but, once adhesions necrotic...

A controlled study was designed in order to evaluate the effects of medial patellar desmotomy (MPD), combined with exercise restriction, on clinically and radiographically normal femoropatellar joints, identify instability by radiographic examination. MPD performed right hind limb horses were rested for 120 days. Both limbs radiographed before surgery at 15, 30, 60, 90, days after MPD, obtaining lateromedial, flexed caudocranial cranioproximal-craniodistal (skyline) views. The femorotibial...

Resumo: Brazilian sheep production has intensified, predisposing to an increased incidence of digestive disorders, such as abomasal ulcers. Ranitidine is used prevent and treat this disease; however, there little information on the parenteral use drug in adult ruminants. Few data exist concomitant metabolic changes behavior system associated with its use. For study, five healthy male ruminal cannulas were used. A 5x5 Latin square experiment a 2x2+1 factorial arrangement treatments was...

In this study, transplacental transmission of Neospora caninum in bitches at different stages pregnancy was evaluated. Three were inoculated the 3rd week and three 6th gestation with 10(8) tachyzoites N. (Nc-1 strain). All infected least one their offspring presented anti-N. antibodies according to indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT > 400). The pups mothers sacrificed tissues from central nervous system (CNS), popliteal lymph nodes, skeletal muscle, brain, lungs, heart liver...

This study aimed to grade joint abnormalities in horses submitted therapeutic arthroscopy using score-based protocols for equine assessment, correlated with arthroscopic treatment outcomes and owner satisfaction. In this prospective study, we evaluated 126 joints of athletic referred arthroscopy. The were scored according findings medical history physical, radiographic, ultrasonographic examination. Lameness, positive response flexion test decreased maximum angle detected more than 50%...

Este trabalho visou identificar as características ultrassonográficas mais importantes utilizadas para classificar os...

RESUMOEste trabalho tem por objetivo descrever a ocorrência, tipo, intervenções e desfechos das fraturas em potros de até 11 meses, atendidos no Hospital Veterinário da FMVZ-USP entre 2008 2019.Nesse período foram 31 casos, 17 machos 14 fêmeas.Os ossos acometidos foram: fêmur (25,8%), tíbia (19,4%), metacarpo principal rádio (16,1%), falange proximal (12,9%), úmero escápula (3,2%, cada).O tipo fratura mais observada foi Salter Harris II, acometendo sete casos (22,6%) fixação interna com...

A osteocondrose é uma das doenças ortopédicas do desenvolvimento mais comuns em cavalos, e deve ser encarada como desordem multifatorial. Caracteriza-se por doença dinâmica, onde o processo de reparo inicia-se quase que imediatamente após a formação da lesão osteocondral. intensidade eficácia deste são fortemente relacionados à idade, estão associados reposição dos componentes matriz cartilagínea. Uma vez fator crescimento tipo insulina-1 (IGF-1) age regulando cartilagem articular, este...

oint disease, specifically osteoarthritis, is one of the most prevalent and debilitating diseases affecting athletic horses. Despite technological advances in recent decades, clinical radiographic examinations are still commonly used methods for diagnosis equine osteoarthritis. Clinical data 2872 horses were compiled compared this study, it evaluated 146 cases osteoarthritis radiographies 259 affected joints reviewed order to verify how far examination consistent with examination, correlate...

ABSTRACT This retrospective study was based on data extracted from medical records of 48 horses with intestinal obstruction caused by enteroliths and/or foreign bodies seen over the course 17 years. Data analysis aimed at describing major features this type colic. Obstructions enteroliths, or both accounted for 40 (83.34%), 6 (12.50%) and 2 (4.16%) cases in sample respectively. Affected were aged 1 to 32 years (mean age 9.5 years) 14 fed alfalfa. Alfalfa is thought contribute enterolith...

Radiographic examination revealed blunt metal screw its reticulum. By time change motility through ultrasound was detected, animal had still not expressed any behavioral changes. A description case, follow-up findings laboratory data, like white blood cell count, serum pepsinogen...
