The study analyzed the profile of Canicross practitioners in Brazil. A semi-structured questionnaire consisting of 33 questions was used: seven related to the handler and 26 to the dogs. Results: Of the total handlers, 53.3% are women, 64% have practiced the sport for at least 5 years and 52.3% trained with a personal trainer. Of the dogs, 62.6% were females, 60% were between one and four years old and the Mixed Breeds were the majority with 34.6%; as for the health of the animals, 80% of the handlers stated that they did not carry out veterinary monitoring aiming at the Canicross. 6.6% of the animals had sports-related injuries and 80% of these cases received veterinary treatment. It was clear that handlers know strategies to prevent and / or treat injuries caused by the sport, however this is not reflected in dogs. The unprecedented nature of the work will help handlers, veterinarians and sports lovers to draw up protocols so that dogs can practice Canicross safely.
Doenças com quadros obstrutivos, inflamatórios, parasitários e neoplásicos estão entre as patologias gastrointestinais que acometem cães e gatos, contudo, somente as manifestações clínicas, muitas vezes são insuficientes e subjetivas, e podem não contribuir para diferenciar lesões intestinais inflamatórias de neoplasias intestinais, sendo o exame ultrassonográfico a modalidade de diagnóstico mais eficiente e menos invasiva para detecção de tumores gastrointestinais em cães e gatos. Além disso, a ultrassonografia pode auxiliar a biópsia do segmento acometido, que pode ser realizada também por endoscopia ou ocasionalmente por laparotomia exploratória para obtenção do diagnóstico definitivo. O objetivo deste relato é salientar a importante contribuição do exame ultrassonográfico para o auxílio diagnóstico de neoplasias intestinais em cães e gatos, descrevendo um caso de neoformação duodenal (leiomioma) em um paciente da espécie canina.
Intervertebral disc disease is one of the main neurological disorders in dogs. The clinical signs and prognosis may vary according to the location of the lesion, type of herniation, time of evolution, delay in performing the surgical intervention and the patient's behavior. Usually, lesions in the cervical region usually cause a severe clinical picture, such as hyperalgesia refractory to drug treatment until tetraparesis. In these cases, surgical intervention is the therapeutic modality of choice. The gold standard exams for the diagnosis of DDIV are magnetic resonance and myelotomography. Granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the brain and / or spinal cord. It can cause focal or multifocal injuries and can even reach the brain stem. Physiotherapy plays an important role both in the recovery of patients undergoing cervical surgery as it contributes to the control of local edema, accelerates tissue healing, restores muscle strength and stimulates neuromuscular function, and in the patient with a Granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis condition, as it helps in postural control, balance and gait.
Resumo.A Fisioterapia Neurofuncional é uma área extremamente importante na fisioterapia humana e vastamente conhecida. O foco principal é a realização de ações básicas pelo paciente neurologicamente comprometido como ficar em estação, pegar um copo e/ou caminhar. Na fisioterapia veterinária é uma vertente nova, porém em franca ascensão. A Meningocencefalite Granulomatosa (MEG) é uma doença comum na clínica veterinária, de prognóstico reservado a ruim e que provoca alterações neurológicas importantes no paciente. Embora seja uma doença grave e progressiva, a fisioterapia neurofuncional na MEG foi importante para o retorno de funções básicas como o caminhar, além de ajudar no controle de dor causada pela espasticidade apresentada pela paciente. É necessário que novos estudos sejam realizados, mas, no que se refere à qualidade de vida, ela se mostrou muito eficiente.
