“…The radiological examinations conducted with the aid of intravascular contrast proved a valuable tool for morphological studies and clinical diagnoses, especially in anatomical‐surgical studies using different species, as it aids in the search and understanding of several diseases, employed in wild animal clinic associated to clinical examinations (Cavalcanti et al, 2021). These contrast media fit very well in clinical diagnoses, as structure opacity indicates anatomical and pathological aspects (Sartori et al, 2013).…”

Understanding the cardiovascular system is fundamental in diagnosing pathologies and interpreting exams, such as contrast radiographs. In this context, the present study describes the collateral abdominal aorta artery branches of red‐rumped agouti. Ten red‐rumped agoutis, six males and four females, were assessed. The vascular system was perfused with Neoprene 450 latex coloured with a yellow pigment, dissected and analysed. Three euthanized animals were perfused with a barium sulfate solution (1 g mL−1) associated with latex Neoprene 450 at a 1:3 ratio to obtain contrast‐enhanced radiographs. The abdominal aorta emitted the celiac artery, which in turn originated the left gastric, hepatic and splenic arteries. The second collateral branch comprised the cranial mesenteric artery, followed by the renal arteries, which emitted the adrenal arteries, with the caudal emergence of the gonadal arteries. The caudal mesenteric artery appeared in a caudal direction. The abdominal aorta divided after reaching the pelvic cavity entrance, originating the right and left common iliac arteries. Before its bifurcation, the abdominal aorta dorsocaudally emitted its last collateral branch, the median sacral artery. The collateral branches of the aorta, therefore, resemble previously described rodent patterns, with few variations.

“…Esses animais são frequentemente encontrados atropelados, tal fato é facilitado pelo seu grau lento de locomoção, sendo muitas vezes vítimas da alta velocidade dos carros e/ou de estradas sem estruturas de proteção à fauna(OLIVEIRA et al, 2012). Um levantamento de exames radiográficos realizados em animais silvestres entre 2017 e 2020, no setor de diagnóstico por imagem da Faculdade de Veterinária da Universidade Federal de Pelotas, Pelotas (RS), revelou que a causa mais frequente dos encaminhamentos de mamíferos silvestres foi o trauma(CAVALCANTI et al, 2021) Arenales et al (2020),. ao avaliarem alterações patológicas em 99 tamanduás cativos e de vida livre, provenientes de cinco Estados brasileiros, identificaram que o atropelamento foi a causa do óbito em 42,4% dos casos.…”

Os tamanduás são animais lentos e frequentemente são encontrados atropelados próximos a rodovias. Muitos deles sofrem traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE), que é uma afecção com alta taxa de mortalidade. Este trabalho teve como objetivo relatar o atendimento clínico de um exemplar de tamanduá-mirim (Tamandua tetradactyla) com histórico de atropelamento e suspeita de TCE. O animal foi avaliado clinicamente e submetido a exames complementares, após foi instituído tratamento de suporte e acompanhamento. O manejo clínico e o protocolo terapêutico instituídos para este caso foram semelhantes aos descritos na literatura para animais de companhia, os quais mostraram-se eficientes, sendo o animal reintroduzido ao seu habitat natural após dois meses.

Cardiac measurement by chest X-ray is very important in the cardiac characterization of dogs and cats, however, the wild animal clinic has a different reality. Opossums (Didelphis albiventris) are part of the Brazilian fauna and are frequently referred for clinical and radiographic evaluation. The objective of this research was to evaluate the thorax of skunks and establish the average of VHS and VLAS for these animals. Chest radiographs were performed in lateral and ventrodorsal projections to measure the VHS and VLAS, thoracic depth and tracheal diameter. The mean VHS was 7.85 (± 0.3) for males and 8.12 (± 0.5) for females and the measured VLAS was 1.19 (± 0.2) for both sexes. The mean value for thoracic depth was 1.13 (± 0.03) and the ratio between the diameter of the chest inlet and the diameter of the trachea was 0.25 (± 0.02), with no significant differences between the sexes. This is the first study that addresses the thoracic evaluation by tracheal and cardiac measurements of skunks through radiographic examination.
