Four unmarried cats (Felis silvestris catus) were followed and taken to the Veterinary Hospital of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, located on the campus. Females were submitted to a dissociative anesthetic protocol consisting of ketamine (15mg/kg), acepromazine (0.03mg/kg), pethidine (3mg/kg) and midazolam (0.4mg/kg). Before abdominal muscle suturing, the local anesthetic bupivacaine at the dose of (2 mg/kg...
Objetivos: avaliar possíveis alterações renais causadas pelo contraste ioxitalamato de meglumina. Métodos: o contraste ioxitalamato de meglumina na dose de 5 mL/Kg (n=8) ou solução salina 0,9% na dose de 5 mL/Kg (n=5) foram administrados por via intravenosa em ratos Wistar machos (250-350g). Os animais foram mantidos em gaiolas metabólicas, e após 72 horas a função renal foi avaliada através de proteinúria, osm...
Feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is a challenge for the veterinary practitioner since its etiology and treatments are still undefined. The present paper investigated the role of the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) in the severity of the FCGS. Oral mucosal biopsies obtained from 19 cats with FCGS were divided into two groups according to their FIV serology status. Later, the clinical lesion score was ...
Snake venoms are composed of complex active substances, most of them of protein nature, causing various effects on humans and domestic animals and can lead to death. Philodryas nattereri is a native snake Ceara region, found throughout the state. This study aimed to know the morphological and physiological changes in mouse skin after inoculation with the total venom this serpente. The animals were divided into ...
Snakes from the genus Crotalus gained significant space in the scientific field since the development of researches with their venom involving cytotoxic activity. Crotalus durissus cascavella is the only subspecies recorded of the Caatinga biome of Northeastern Brazil and it’s noticed a lack of studies on its venom properties. The present study evaluated the crude venom of C. d. cascavella for its cytotoxic act...
The chemotherapy available for the treatment of Leishmaniosis and Chagas is restricted to a few medicines. Moreover, snake venoms have been studied because they have active substances with therapeutic potential. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro effects of total venom of Crotalusdurissuscascavella , Crotalusdurissusterrificus and Bothropsjararaca in Leishmania chagasi and Trypanosoma cruz...
Foreign bodies are digestible or not objects that can cause esophageal obstruction. Once located, the clinician must decide whether to observe its passage or perform the removal, being immediate intervention the most recommended. With that, we aimed to report a case of foreign body in the caudal esophagus of a canine, female, 8 years, with history of regurgitation and hyporexia. Based on anamnesis and physical ...
Snakes have an important biological role in the ecological chain, as well as in scientific researches performed with the venoms produced by them, since the enzyme-protein fractions these substances possess have been studied as pharmacological tools for the discovery of new therapies. Snakes of the genus Crotalus have gained significant relevance in the scientific field, since the venom produced by these reptile...
