Malformações congênitas em um gato – relato de caso

Abstract

Congenital malformations, although representing only 1 to 2% of clinical veterinary care, become a challenge when they occur, in the etiological sense for a good therapeutic management of the patient. The feline species often has viral and parasitic infections that can cause malformations in embryonic life. The exploration of the feline patient's health profile that presents suspicion of congenital malformations is important to determine the best management and prognosis of the patient. Given the above, the objective of this work was to report the case of a feline with three congenital malformations. In the presented report, it is suggested the involvement of Feline Coronavirus and Toxoplasma gondii as etiologic agents involved in ocular malformations.
