This study aims to was a clinical case report relating the use of infrared thermography (IR) associated to the ozone therapy as complementary tools to diagnose and treat a non-infectious inflammatory process in the locomotor system of an athlete-horse of the Amazon. The heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), and rectal temperature (RT) were measured both rest and after walking. Radiographic evaluation, complete hemogram and creatine phosphokinase dosage (CPK) were primarily conducted. The IR examination was additionally undertaken, and the thermograms were analyzed using Flir Tools. Ozone therapy was performed via intramuscular in the scapular area. All comparisons were done using ANOVA and Tukey test (5%). The animal presented HR, RR, and RT all within normal ranges. When the animal was made to walk it demonstrated pain, and HR (48 beats.min-1) and RR (60 breaths.min-1). The creatine phosphokinase dosage was 79 UL-1 and the IR showed that the thoracic region had a surface temperature of up to 39.1ºC, indicating of an inflammatory process. After the ozone therapy was a reduction in the white color pattern from 39.1ºC to 37.2ºC. The infrared thermography is an efficient technique that can be used for the diagnosis of inflammation, and ozone therapy is an innovative treatment.

Se presenta el resultado del tratamiento herbolario alternativo en lesión ulcerada en la región nasal de un canino. Una perra pastor alemán fue atendida en una clínica veterinaria con una lesión en la región nasal. Se identificó una lesión ulcerada nasal y maxilar, además, el animal se encontraba caquéctico y apático. El tratamiento fitoterapéutico, de mínimos efectos adversos y bajo costo, fue instituido a través de infusiones preparadas a partir de dos plantas medicinales, Stryphnodendron adstringens y Caesalpinia ferrea, conocidas como barbatimão y jucá (de alta acción cicatrizante y regeneradora). Se observó que el tratamiento herbolario fue una alternativa viable, que presentó resultados satisfactorios en el proceso cicatrizante, antiinflamatorio y de acción reepitelizante.
