RESUMO.Foram atendidos dois cães da raça Teckel, ambos com histórico de dificuldade de locomoção e perda de propriocepção, sem alterações nos exames hemáticos. O primeiro cão, uma fêmea, de quatro meses de idade, apresentou ao exame radiográfico presença de massa radiopaca na metáfise distal do fêmur proximal e distal, da tíbia e proximal da fíbula esquerda; além de estruturas semelhantes nos processos espinhosos de T3, T6 e T7 e na terceira costela direita, projetando-se para o interior da cavidade torácica. O segundo cão, um macho de 6 meses de idade, apresentou massas ósseas nodulares no ísquio e ílio, e nas metáfises proximais de ambas as tíbias e distal da tíbia direita, além de alterações idênticas nas costelas, projetando-se, tanto para a superfície externa quanto interna do tórax. Portanto, após a análise radiográfica foi diagnosticado Exostose Cartilaginosa Múltipla (ECM), uma doença caracterizada por projeções ósseas recobertas por cartilagem. Adotouse como medida terapêutica o uso de tramadol e o acompanhamento da evolução da doença.

This article reports the care of two dogs from Teckel race, both with a history of limited mobility and loss of proprioception, no changes in hematic tests. The first dog, a female, 4 months old, had to take radiographic presence of radiopaque mass at the distal femoral metaphysis, proximal and distal tibia and the proximal left fibula, and similar structures at the spinous processes of T3, T6 and T7 and the third right rib, protruding into the chest cavity. The second dog, a male 6 months old, had nodular bone mass in the ischium and ilium, and proximal metaphysis of tibiae and distal right tibia, as well as similar changes in the ribs protruding both to the surface external and internal chest. Therefore, after the X-ray analysis was diagnosed multiple cartilaginous exostosis (ECM), a disease characterized by bone projections covered with cartilage. It was adopted as a therapeutic measure the use of tramadol and the monitoring of disease progression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
