_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Resumo: Ainda hoje há um grande número de animais silvestres que sofrem de maus tratos oriundos do tráfico, sendo mantidos em cativeiros inadequados, sofrem com os atropelamentos nas estradas e são vítimas também de doenças infecciosas, por isso que a medicina de animais silvestres vem crescendo nos últimos anos. Por perceber que são poucos os trabalhos que relatam tratamentos executados em animais silvestres e que associem a alopatia com a acupuntura, realizou-se este relato que mostra a associação do tratamento alopático de feridas com o uso de acupuntura em um tucanotoco.
