“…In a series registered at a veterinary service in São Paulo, the number of surgical procedures in dogs was higher, with an average of approximately 67 cases per month (Cruz-Pinto et al, 2015). In a survey carried out in Teresina (state of Piauí), the number of monthly surgical procedures in dogs had an average of 34 procedures (Rodrigues et al, 2019), a rate very similar to the study in question.…”

“…This procedure was carried out on 214 bitches, representing 26.41% of the total surgical procedures performed in two years. In several studies about dog surgical casuistry in Brazil, ovariohysterectomies are the majority (Ataíde et al, 2020;Reis et al, 2018;Rodrigues et al, 2018;Rodrigues et al, 2019;Soares et al, 2022). In the present study, OH was more frequent than orchiectomies.…”

“…Orthopedic disorders correspond to nearly one third of all medical appointments in small animal routines, with fracture corrections being the main representative of orthopedic surgeries (Shiju, 2010), like seen in this study. In Brazilian veterinary services, orthopedic surgeries were also frequent (Ataíde et al, 2020;Reis et al, 2018;Rodrigues et al, 2019;Rodrigues et al, 2018;Soares et al, 2022).…”

“…The third most common surgical procedure in the service herein analyzed was mastectomy, performed on 105 patients (Table 3). Such procedure is one of the most performed surgeries in canine species in Brazil (Ataíde et al, 2020;Reis et al, 2018;Rodrigues et al, 2018;Rodrigues et al, 2019). This occurs due to high frequency of mammary gland neoplasia in bitches in the country (Honório et al, 2017;Ribas et al, 2012;Toríbio et al, 2012).…”

The classification proposed by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classifies patients according to anesthetic risk into five categories, ranging from healthy to very severe patients. Because of this, it is an essential tool to ensure the safety of patients undergoing a surgical procedure. The use of this classification allows the anesthesiologist to be prepared for possible complications and to predict the patient's real prognosis. The objective of the article was to carry out a retrospective study in a teaching veterinary clinic (CEV), analyzing medical records of dogs undergoing surgical procedures for two years, in order to verify the casuistry of each ASA category and the main surgical procedures carried out at CEV. Within the period studied, 810 patients were classified. The ASA I category included 166 animals (20.49%; 166/810). The ASA II category had 212 dogs (26.17%; 212/810). The ASA III category included 320 animals (39.50%; 320/810). The ASA IV category had 91 patients (11.23%; 91/810) and the ASA V category included 21 patients (2.59%; 21/ 810). The total number of deaths corresponded to 16 cases (1.97%; 16/810), affecting animals from ASA III or higher. The most frequent surgical procedures were ovariohysterectomy, fracture correction and mastectomy. It was concluded that the largest sample of dogs undergoing surgical procedures was ASA III patients and the most common surgical procedures were therapeutic.

Background: Otohematoma is common in dogs and is characterized by blood accumulation between the skin and cartilage of the outer ear. While the etiology is related to trauma, most cases have a predisposing condition. Treatment must drain the hematoma and maintain appropriate skin apposition to the ear cartilage. Treatment can be surgical, but there are also conservative options such as puncture drainage, followed by intralesional injection of glucocorticoids. This alternative method is less invasive than surgery, with an equivalent success rate. This study aimed to describe intralesional injection of corticosteroids for the treatment of dogs with otohematoma at a veterinary clinic.Materials, Methods & Results: Otohematoma was diagnosed and treated in 23 dogs (14 males and 9 females, weighing 9.6 ± 2.7 kg) at a reference private veterinary clinic. The dogs were chemically restrained, and their ears were cleaned with chlorhexidine. The lower face of each ear with otohematoma was then punctured with a needle coupled to a syringe to drain the liquid. Following drainage, the equipment was removed and the collected liquid volume was measured. A 0.5 mg/kg dose of methylprednisolone acetate was prepared and diluted in saline (0.9% NaCl) to a volume equivalent to 1/10 of the previously drained content volume from the otohematoma. The prepared solution was then injected into the drained ear. Additionally, each patient was treated for the original cause of the otohematoma, according to conventional protocols. Eight animals (34.78%) had bilateral otohematoma and 15 (65.22%) presented with unilateral lesions. Leukocytosis was observed in most patients. Other laboratory alterations present in the studied dogs were thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and anemia. Twenty (86.96%) patients presented with otitis externa. All patients were reassessed one week after the initial treatment, and 19 (82.60%) fully recovered. The remaining 4 (17.40%) required a new procedure to drain a small accumulation of liquid. Patients were then reassessed on the 15th day when full recovery was observed in 2 (8.7%). The remaining two (8.7%) underwent new drainage on the 15th day, accompanied by a new infusion of corticosteroids, returning recovered on the 21st day.Discussion: Consistent with the previous reports, unilateral otohematomas were more frequently observed in the present study. In most animals, the cause of otohematoma was otitis externa. This disease causes intense itching that leads to autotrauma, resulting in the rupture of vessels and accumulation of fluid between the skin and cartilage of the ear. Leukocytosis detected in the majority of patients was related to external otitis. The other hematological changes observed are common in the disease. The objectives of otohematoma therapy in dogs are to identify and eliminate the source of auricular pruritus, provide adequate drainage of the hematoma content, and maintain the appropriate apposition between the skin and cartilage in the ear. In all 23 patients in this study, these aims were met, culminating in favorable outcomes. The described method led to recovery for most patients (82.60%) in the first week and a success rate of 100% by the end of 21 days. These results observed in animal patients are similar to those seen in humans, where drainage leads to total regression of the disease. Glucocorticoids were chosen for treatment of otohematoma because of their anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, methylprednisolone acetate, an ester whose absorption was very slow, was used to allow for a longer anti-inflammatory effect.
