El objetivo del estudio fue clasificar las fracturas de huesos largos en caninos diagnosticados en el servicio radiológicode la Clínica Veterinaria Docente Cayetano Heredia de la Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia durante el periodo2013 – 2015. Se registraron los casos presentados de acuerdo con el tipo de fractura y se clasificaron de acuerdo conlas variables edad, sexo, tamaño y raza de los animales. Se seleccionaron 115 placas radiográficas. El hueso fémur fue el que presentó mayor frecuencia de fracturas (36,5%), los que correspondieron mayormente a caninos machos (61,7%), jóvenes (55,7%), de tamaño pequeño (51,3%) y razas puras (57,4%). La localización de las facturas fue con mayor frecuencia en la diáfisis (57,4%);de tipo simple o extra articular (68,7%); y de gravedad leve (47,8%). El estudio concluye que los animales jóvenes fueron los más afectados en relación ...

The Peruvian Hairless Dog (PHD) breed was registered in 1981 in the International Cinological Federation and is a National Heritage of the country. The breed has three defined sizes: large, medium and small. Echocardiographic reference values have been published for the general canine population; however, the clinical value is relative when considering the variation between breeds and their categories. The aim of this study was to determine the normal echocardiographic values of PHD according to age, weight and sex. The sample was 10 males and 20 females, comprising 17 young adults, 9 middle adults and 4 senior adults, and by body weight in 15 dogs ≥8-≤10 kg and 15 dogs >10-≤12 kg. Ten echocardiographic parameters were evaluated, which did not present significant differences by age group. The weight variable showed significant differences for the values LVDD (diastolic left vent...

The aim of the investigation was to carry out the ultrasonographic evaluation of the abdominal organs of the kinkajou (Potos flavus). The seven adult individuals (2 males and 5 females) from the “Buen Pastor” zoo (Los Olivos, Lima) were evaluated. An ultrasound equipment with a 4-9 MHz convex transducer was used to evaluate the topography, shape, margins, ecotexture, and echogenicity of the abdominal organs. The spleen has a slightly thicker head than the body and tail. The liver showed medium echogenicity, isoechogenic in relation to the kidney and hypoechogenic in relation to the spleen. The right kidney was found slightly more cranial than the left, presented a renal cortex of medium echogenicity, a slightly hyperechogenic medulla in relation to the cortex, and a 2: 1 medullary cortex ratio. The bladder wall presented a heterogeneous ecotexture with poorly defined walls. The ultra...
