We present the case of a five-year-old intact mixed breed male dog with hemorrhagic prostatic cysts. The patient presented with hematuria, dysesthesia, and pain on abdominal palpation. Abdominal ultrasound, hematology, urinalysis, and biochemical evaluation tests were subsequently conducted. Laboratory tests revealed cloudy urine with bacteria, and countless red blood cells. On ultrasound examination, the prostate was severely enlarged, with heterogeneous and reduced parenchyma, surrounding a large cavity filled with anechoic material with moderate cellularity. The urinary bladder was markedly distended and had a round, hypoechogenic structure in the lumen. The patient was hospitalized and had significant, irreversible worsening of the clinical symptoms and died. Subsequently, necropsy of the patient was performed and a histopathological diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia associated with the presence of a prostatic hemorrhagic cyst, prostatitis, and chronic cystitis with an intraluminal blood clot was made. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to describe the occurrence of a hemorrhagic cyst in a canine prostate, thus bringing important information from clinical and imaging findings to the veterinary routine.
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar um caso de acidente ofídico em um equino, macho, da raça Mangalarga Marchador de seis anos de idade, encaminhado para o Hospital Veterinário da Faculdade Dr. Francisco Maeda FAFRAM Ituverava-SP, apresentando dificuldade respiratória, edema de focinho, epistaxe bilateral e desidratação. Após exames físico e laboratorial foi confirmado o diagnóstico de acidente ofídico do gênero Botrophs e instituído o tratamento com fluidoterapia, antibioticoterapia, antiinflamatórios esteroidais e não esteroidais, hepatoprotetores e transfusão sanguínea. O animal se recuperou totalmente e obteve alta médica após seis dias.

OPHIDIAN ACCIDENT IN HORSE AT ITUVERAVA-SP -CASE REPORT SUMMARY:This study aims to report a case of snakebite in an equine, male, Mangalarga Marchador six years old , referred to the Veterinary Hospital of the Faculty Dr. Francisco Maeda FAFRAM Ituverava -SP, having difficulty breathing, nose edema , epistaxis bilateral and dehydration. After examination, physical and laboratory confirmed the diagnosis of snakebite of gender Botrophs and treatment instituted with fluid therapy , antibiotics , NSAIDs nonsteroidal , hepatoprotective and blood transfusion. The animal has fully recovered and was discharged from medical after six days.
The high incidence of mammary tumors in small animals is concerning. Patient history, clinical examination, physical evaluation, and imaging studies are important for clinical staging. Ultrasonography is commonly applied to investigate the presence of abdominal metastasis. However, it has been shown to provide important information regarding mammary tumors’ architecture and advanced sonographic techniques can provide information regarding neovascularization, stiffness, and perfusion. Different techniques have been investigated to determine accuracy to predict the lesions’ histological classification. This paper reviews the information regarding each sonographic technique in the evaluation of mammary tumors, describing the most common findings and their potential to accurately assess and predict malignancy. Even though the gold standard for the diagnosis of mammary lesions is the histopathological examination, some ultrasonographic features described can predict the potential of a lesion being malignant. Among the different sonographic techniques, elastography can be considered the most reliable modality to accurately differentiate benign from malignant tumors when malignant lesions present increased stiffness. However, the combination of all sonographic techniques can provide important information that can lead to a better therapeutic approach and clinical staging. Furthermore, the potential of the sonographic study, especially CEUS to monitor therapeutic progression, demonstrate the need of further studies.
