Dermatophytes are keratinophilic fungi that can cause zoonosis. However, the role wild animals play in the transmission of these infections is yet to be determined. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of dermatophytes on the haircoat of Brazilian wild mammals. Thirty-two healthy wild mammals from several taxa were studied: 17 were captive and 15 were free-living individuals. Samples were obtained by rubbing the haircoat with sterile carpets. Samples were cultured on Mycobiotic agar, and the plates were incubated at 25 ºC. Identification of the isolates was carried out on the basis of macro- and micromorphology. Dermatophytes were isolated from 9.5% of the animals: Microsporum gypseum from one maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus), Microsporum cookie from one coati (Nasua nasua), and Trichophyton ajelloi from one bush dog (Speothos venaticus). These animals represent therefore sources of infection for both humans and other animals and are important for public health policies.

Marijuana consists of a mixture of dried leaves and flowers of the plant Cannabis sativa. Animals are usually poisoned by accidental ingestion. The effects of the plant are associated with cannabinoids, which are not found in other plant species. An increase in poisoning cases in dogs was observed in some states of the USA. In Brazil, reports are scarce. The objective of this study is to report a case of a dog intoxicated by marijuana. The animal was admitted to the hospital with incoordination, depression, mydriasis, decreased pupillary reflex, horizontal nystagmus, opisthotonos, bradycardia, and obnubilation. The patient was hospitalized and subjected to supportive treatment, since there is no antidote for this kind of poisoning. Patient recovery took approximately 36 hours.

A five-year-old mongrel bitch was admitted for acute care presenting neurological symptoms such as ataxia, muscular stiffness on forelimbs, pronounced depression, lethargy, weakness, incoordination, mydriasis and bilateral decreased pupillary reflex. Twelve hours post-admittance, the patient vomited both crushed and intact seeds of Talisia esculenta. Literature reports cases of sheep and cattle poisoning with similar symptoms by ingestion of fruits and leaves of T. esculenta. The aim of this article is to report this case, since no such records in companion animals are available.

Laboratory tests play an important role in the study of wildlife animals, providing information concerning the physiological aspects of the patients. Laboratory tests follow standardized protocols, producing reliable results. The processing of biological samples is divided into preanalytical, analytical and postanalytical stages. The preanalytical phase has the highest chance of error, resulting in equivocal information. The clinical pathology of wild animals is still a growing or even unknown area by many practitioners. There are several factors prior to laboratory analysis that must be standardized in order to obtain correct results. The aim of this paper is therefore to review the main factors related to the pre-analytical phase in the processing of wildlife specimens in the area of clinical pathology.

Ultrasonic biomicroscopy (UBM) or high frequency ultrasound (35-100 MHz) is a tool used for ocular imaging. The 4 to 8 mm tissue depth range enables assessment of the anterior segment of the eye, aiding in the diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of ocular diseases. It is a noninvasive test able to identify different structures of the eye, such as cornea, sclera, anterior chamber, iris, ciliary body, posterior chamber, iridocorneal drainage angle and lens. This review aims to present the use of UBM in veterinary medicine, demonstrating its advantages, limitations and indications in the ophthalmology of small animals.

Nodular dermatofibrosis is a syndrome that affects middle-aged to old German shepherds, in which the appearance of dermal fibrotic nodules is associated with a concomitant and progressive kidney cystic disease. The cause is putatively genetic and the main clinical signs are of dermatological character, including papules and nodules on the limbs (carpus, tarsus, metacarpus and metatarsus), digits, cephalic region, and the trunk, albeit less frequently. The nodules are firm and hyperpigmented and can be cutaneous or subcutaneous. Systemic signs are also observed and related. There can be kidney insufficiency secondary to unilateral or bilateral kidney epithelial cysts, kidney cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma, as well as concomitant uterine leiomyomas. Diagnosis is obtained by histopathology of skin lesions and of kidney mass. There is no effective treatment for this syndrome. The aim of this study is to report a case of nodular dermatofibrosis in a male German shepherd.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of adverse and metabolic effects caused by glucocorticoids used as antipruritic therapy in dogs. Two groups were studied. Group 1 consisted of six dogs treated with 0.5 mg/kg prednisone every 24 hours for seven days, subsequently on alternate days for one week, and then twice a week until 30 days of treatment were completed. Group 2 consisted of six dogs treated with 0.2 mg/kg deflazacort every 72 hours for 30 days. Clinical and laboratory changes were already evident 15 days after treatment onset in both groups. However, deflazacort promoted more metabolical alterations compared to prednisone with respect to hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, and high levels of ALT and ALP. These values improved after the interval between prednisone administrations was increased, which reinforces the importance of protocols with spaced dosage in chronic therapies.

This report describes the radiographic findings in a case of atlantoaxial instability associated with agenesis of the odontoid process of the axis in an adult dog. Clinically, the patient presented apathy and tetraparesis. A simple radiographic examination of the cervical region was performed, which allowed the disclosure of agenesis of the odontoid process of the axis without articular changes. The atlantoaxial normality index (ANI) was 0.103 mm, indicating instability of the joint. A conservative approach was adopted by means of a cervical collar, movement restriction and anti-inflammatory therapy. We concluded that asymptomatic adult animals can be carriers of this condition, and that the calculation of the ANI was an effective tool to complement the subjective radiographic evaluation of this articulation on this report’s dog. The patient remains stable with the cervical collar.

Hip dysplasia is an orthopedic disease that leads to incongruity and degenerative joint disease. It is more frequent in large and giant dogs. It has high morbidity and causes lameness, pain and reduced activity. In the worst cases, the patient loses mobility. It is a multifactorial polygenic disease, resulting from genetic and environmental factors. Joint laxity is the most searched feature for early diagnosis of hip dysplasia, and radiography is the most used diagnostic method. CT images are used to reach better diagnosis and disease control. There are conservative and surgical treatments described for controlling the disease in affected animals. This article highlights the importance of the different imaging modalities for the selection of breeders and for disease control in the most affected breeds.

Renal neoplasias are rare in dogs. When these occur, they usually affect middle-aged dogs from medium to large breeds, and most of them with malignant behavior. Only 7-11% of these tumors are of mesenchymal origin. Renal mesenchymal metastases appear most frequently in the lungs and abdominal organs. Clinical signs are non-specific, such as weight loss, inappetence and hematuria. This article describes a case of renal stromal sarcoma in a 7-year-old Rottweiler bitch. The main symptoms were fatigue and prostration. Exams showed anemia and neoplastic lesions in both kidneys, liver and jejunum. Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration was inconclusive. Final diagnosis was achieved port-mortem, through tissue biopsy and immunohistochemistry.
