It is presented the case of a 9-month-old canine patient, of an undefined breed, with decreased feed intake and increased size of the ventral part of the mandible. Radiographic examination showed bilateral and ventral bone proliferation of the mandibular body with increased radiodensity in this area. The lesion was compatible with craniomandibular osteopathy, a rare disease of unknown etiology that affects young dogs and is usually self-limiting and has a favourable prognosis.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la presencia de anticuerpos contra Encephalitozoon cuniculi en conejos destinados como mascotas. Se evaluaron las muestras serológicas de 76 conejos clínicamente sanos provenientes de 7 granjas de la provincia de Lima. Las muestras se procesaron utilizando un kit de ELISA. Anticuerpos contra el Encephalitozoon cuniculi fueron encontrados en el 43/76 (56.6%) de la muestras analizadas. El análisis de regresión logística de los resultados mostro que la edad en meses (9 meses) se asociaba al riesgo que un conejo sea positivo a la prueba serológica (P<0.05). Los resultados demostraron la presencia de anticuerpos contra Encephalitozoon cuniculi con una alta prevalencia en conejos destinados como mascota en la provincia de Lima.

The frequency of lesions of the appendicular skeleton diagnosed in canines was evaluated in the radiology area of Small Animal Clinic of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos during the period 2012-2016. In total, 2552 radiological recordings made in the appendicular skeleton were analyzed. Of these, 43.3% (n=1106) presented traumatic injuries, 23.2% (n=591) orthopedic injuries, 12.7% (n=323) degenerative injuries, 2.7% (n=69) injuries compatible with osteomyelitis, 1.7% (n=42) lesions compatible with neoplasms, and 0.5% (n=13) lesions compatible with hypertrophic osteodystrophy. Among trauma injuries, the bone structures with the highest frequency of fracture were the pelvis (35.1%; n=388) and femur (26.9%; n=298) and among orthopedic injuries were patellar luxation (36.9%; n=218) and hip dysplasia (36.6%; n=216). Traumatological injuries wer...
