Tratamento cirúrgico da ginecomastia em um bode da raça Saanen

Background:  :  :  : Gynaecomastia in male goats is characterized by abnormal development of the mammary gland. Enlarged udder may be observed cranially to the scrotum, which can occasionally reach the size of the testicles. The udder may carry functional glands and impair the animal’s reproductive performance and welfare. The case of a successful surgical treatment of gynaecomastia in a high reproductive performance Saanen buck-goat is reported in the present study. Material, Methods & Results: The animal was admitted presenting significant augmentation of the mammary glands, which was clinically diagnosed as gynaecomastia. The male goat owned optimal phenotypic characteristics for the Saanen breed, which had been producing high performance descendents. The mammary glands had been impairing the goat’s locomotion and sexual performance. Manual milking resulted in great amount of milk secretion. The animal presented anorexia and impaired sexual performance. After clinical and laboratorial evaluation, the animal was submitted to radical mastectomy. An elliptic skin incision was performed around each mammary gland. Subcuticular blunt dissection was accomplished to isolate the mammarian tissue from the abdominal muscular layer and the spermatic chord. The excised mass was sampled for histological assessment. Subcuticular layer and skin closure was carried in a routine fashion. Hygienization of the surgical wound was performed with 2,5% PVP-I solution for ten days. Additionally, an association of penicillin G benzathine and streptomycin, and fluxinin meglumine were also given. The surgical procedure was successfully accomplished without any peroperative complication. The excised mass was sampled for anatomic/histological assessment. Macroscopically, the left mammary gland presented 22 cm in length, 12 cm wide and 26 cm in diameter. The right gland presented 16 cm in length, 7 cm wide and 13,5 cm in diameter. The microscopic assessment revealed hyperplasia of the glandular ducts. No abnormalities resembling malignant mammary neoplasms or degeneration were observed. At the end of the treatment, the animal was completely recovered. The animal convalesced satisfactorily and surgical wound healed completely within the first 10 days post-op. The goat was not culled and returned to normal reproductive activity. Within 12 months of follow-up, the animal was able to produce high milk yield performance progenies. Discussion: This case report presented relevant aspects of the surgical management of gynaecomastia, especially to veterinary practitioners dealing with milk goats. Gynaecomastia is not as common as other reproductive disorders in domestic animals. In opposition to the findings of the present study, other trials revealed that gynaecomastia usually does not affect fertility, libido, ejaculate parameters and sexual performance of goats. However, it is important to consider that neoplasic disorders such as mammary adenocarcinoma may be present, even though these are rare complications. Last but not least, the decision making on mastectomy in the present study was crucial in order to reestablish the animal’s welfare and its functionality in the farms reproduction program

Retroflexão de bexiga. Relato de caso em Blastocerus dichotomus (Cervo-do-Pantanal)

A bladder retroflexion was reported in Blastocerus dichotomus at The Veterinary Hospital of FCAV Jaboticabal-SP. A pregnat female from University breeder showed a retal and bladder prolapse. A cesarean were applied but not sucsseful for both. Then, the female was euthanized because the bladder had no conditions to be back again.A retroflexão de bexiga foi objeto de estudo em cervídeo atendido no Hospital Veterinário da FCAV-Unesp-Jaboticabal-SP. Uma fêmea gestante do criatório da Faculdade apresentou prolapso de bexiga e de reto. A cesariana foi efetuada, porém sem sucesso para ambos. Após esse procedimento, o animal foi sacrificado devido ao comprometimento total da bexiga

Exérese de lipoma em papagaio-verdadeiro (Amazona aestiva)

Lipomas são tumores freqüentes no tecido subcutâneo, de crescimento lento e benigno, podendo ser encontrados em tecidos mais profundos, como os músculos, órgãos abdominais e torácicos, na cavidade oral e no crânio. Este relato descreveu um caso de lipoma em um papagaio-verdadeiro, mantido em cativeiro na região de Fernandópolis, SP. O animal, de aproximadamente 10 anos de idade e 485 gramas, apresentava dificuldade de locomoção devido ao grande aumento de volume, progressivo há alguns meses e localizado na região adcloacal direita. Não foram evidenciadas alterações comportamentais ou na ingestão de alimentos ou água. À palpação, o nódulo apresentava consistência macia e pequenas áreas crostosas cutâneas. Foi conduzido o exame radiográfico e biópsia aspirativa com agulha e o animal foi submetido à cirurgia para exérese do nódulo, sendo realizada indução anestésica intra-muscular com diazepam e cetamina e manutenção por isoflurano. No período pósoperatório foram realizadas aplicações de antibiótico, antiinflamatório e analgésico. O nódulo extraído pesou 62 gramas, correspondendo a 12,8% do peso corpóreo, e foi processado histologicamente, revelando a presença de adipócitos bem definidos, com citoplasma desenvolvido e núcleos periféricos

Obstrução intestinal e enterotomia em tigre d’água (Trachemys dorbignyi)

A obstrução intestinal ocorre em quelônios, principalmente em decorrência de parasitismo e corpos estranhos, como pedras e areia. Um caso de compactação intestinal foi descrito em um tigre d’água macho com aproximadamente cinco anos de idade. O animal foi atendido no Hospital Veterinário da UNICASTELO, Campus Fernandópolis, SP, apresentando anorexia há uma semana, desidratação severa e estupor. O diagnóstico definitivo foi realizado mediante exame radiográfico simples, no qual se verificou grande quantidade de material radiopaco intestinal compactado. O animal foi submetido à celiotomia de emergência para retirada dos corpos estranhos intestinais. Para a indução e manutenção anestésica, utilizou-se anestesia inalatória com isofluorano. Após antissepsia local, uma abertura de 4cm 2 foi realizada no plastrão com auxílio de serra vibratória. O peritônio foi incidido, o intestino exteriorizado e a enterotomia realizada. Durante a cirurgia, o animal foi novamente submetido a exames radiográficos para confirmação da retirada dos corpos estranhos. Foi utilizado fio mononylon 4-0 para sutura intestinal em dois planos e peritonial em único plano. O segmento do plastrão retirado foi recolocado e fixado com resina epóxi e gaze, impermeabilizando-a. No período pós-operatório, o animal recebeu analgésico por dois dias e pentabiótico por cinco dias após a cirurgia. Alimentação oral pastosa foi fornecida via sonda do segundo ao décimo dia, com ótima recuperação clínica-cirúrgica

PSEUDO-HERMAFRODITISMO MASCULINO EM CÃO DA RAÇA AMERICAN PIT-BULL TERRIER

Ao exame clínico e posteriormente cirúrgico, constatou-se a presença de testículos e clitóris peniano. Alguns exames complementares foram realizados como radiografia pélvica e cariótipo, confirmando um caso de pseudo-hermafrodita masculino 78 XY cromossomos. PALAVRAS-CHAVES: American Pit Bull Terrier, cão, pseudo-hermafroditismo

Dancing as an elementary school activity in the vision of Physical Education teachers of the state public school system in<em>MARINGÁ</em>

The aim of this study is to analyze the opinion of Physical Education teachers about dancing activities in the first four grades of elementary schools of the state public school system in the municipality of Maringá, state of Paraná. The sample comprised nineteen Physical Education teachers from fifteen of the twenty-nine schools chosen at random in a descriptive research. The data were collected by the researchers through the application of open and guided questionnaires to the teachers after their Physical Education classes. The data were analyzed by the descriptive statistics method. The results showed that the teachers consider that dancing develops the children’s corporal consciousness besides exploring their possibilities of movement. It may also be concluded that lack of theoretical knowledge and of adequate facilities and materials in the schools are the main hampering factors for the teachers to develop dancing activities
