Philodryas nattereriis a snake known popularly as field-runner or board, founded in regions of caatinga and in the Brazilian semiarid region. These snakes have a well-developed Duvernoy gland, connected to a grooved tooth, specialized for toxin inoculation. The work aimed to perform the histological characterization of the Duvernoy gland of the P. nattererisnake. For the study, four pairs of animal glands from ...
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...

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...
