The margay (Leopardus wiedii) belongs to Carnivora order and present’s nocturnal habits. There are few studies using this specie, whereas it is between feline species vulnerable to extinction. Thus, we propose a descriptive study about female genital system and behavior of the arteries responsible for the blood supply to these organs in margay. It used one exemplary victim of poaching that to death. The animal was stored in freezer. Subsequent to defrost at room temperature, it proceeded with the solution injection Leoprene Latex ‘650’ colored in red for better identification of vessels before the adjacent strutures. The specimen was fixed using an aqueous 10% formaldehyde with subsequent immersion in the same fixative solution. The genital system were dissected and the organs and arterial branches were identified and photodocumented. The female genital system of margay consists of a pair of ovaries, uterus with a pair of uterine horns, vagina and vulva. The arterial distribution of female system have a common vessel to iliac artery which branches and leads to internal pudendal artery sends a branch along the pudendal nerve pathway, urogenital artery. This, we performed divided into two branches, cranial and caudal. The cranial branch irrigates laterally cervix and uterine horns and caudal branch, vagina and vulva. The ovarian arteries, peers, originate from abdominal aorta only vascularization the ovaries. The female genital system and vascularization of the genitals organs of margay resembles of domestic carnivores including cats and some wild felines like the ocelot and find differences with the same description held in other domestic and wild species. https://doi.galoa.com.br/doi/10.17648/jibi-2448-0002-1-1-4163
Doença renal policística (DRP) é uma doença genética que acomete frequentemente gatos persas. Os animais acometidos apresentam cistos renais.Um paciente felino da raça Persa foi atendido no Hospital Veterinário Universitário da Universidade Federal do Piauí em Teresina. No exame clínico observou-se aumento no abdômen cranial, mucosas normocoradas, desidratação 7% e temperatura retal de 37,8ºC, após o exame ultrassonográfico constatou a presença de cistos renais bilaterais.O trabalho objetivou relatar um caso de um felino da raça persa.Palavras chaves: rim, cistos, gato persa.
