Skin grafting refers to a reconstructive method used in cases of integumentary discontinuity, being an excellent option for covering lesions. Surgical defects resulting from the excision of cutaneous neoplasms are its main indication. A 13-year-old male SRD dog was treated at the São Lucas Veterinary Hospital, in the city of Ji-Paraná - RO, during the physical examination, a neoplastic mass was noticed on the lateral face of the left forelimb. The tegumentar grafting technique was chosen due to the length of the surgical cut and the scarcity of skin to approximate the incised edges, so the skin graft was removed from the left lateral region of the chest.
Corneal ulcer is considered an emergency, which can lead to loss of vision if left untreated. Among the surgical techniques of choice, the pedicled conjunctival flap is a procedure that provides mechanical and vascular supply of the conjunctiva to the corneal lesion. The aim of this study is to report a case of bilateral descemetocele in a nine-month-old female dog, Shih Tzu, treated at São Lucas Veterinary Hospital of Ji-Paraná. Initially, the treatment was systemic and topical drug therapy, after 72 hours, surgery was performed in both eyes and temporary tarsorrhaphy only in the right eye, later following the entire healing process.
