In order to estimate the population of dogs in the streets of Camaguey, Cuba a field survey was carried out on stray dogs in four neighbourhoods of the Camagüey city during September to December 2015. Data related to sex of the dog, presence of ectoparasites (ticks and fleas) and skin diseases was collected. Besides, faecal material was collected from roads and public places. The number of stray dogs per neighborhood ranged from 45 to 75. Furthermore, 62% of the observations corresponded to dogs with skin lesions or presence of ectoparasites and 61.7% of the fecal samples were positive for eggs of gastrointestinal parasites, mostly of the genera Ancylostoma and Toxocara.

Este estudio retrospectivo tuvo como objetivo demostrar el uso del sulfato de vincristina, vía subcutánea, para el control del tumor venéreo transmisible canino (TVT) de ubicación genital y extragenital, mediante la revisión de siete casos atendidos entre 2000 a 2016 con signos clínicos compatibles con TVT. El diagnóstico clínico del TVT se orientó por la morfología macroscópica y la localización, así como por los signos de esta patología. La quimioterapia con sulfato de vincristina en dosis de 0.025 mg/kg por 3 a 6 semanas, fue efectiva en todos los casos, observándose remisión de los signos clínicos.

A retrospective study of 15 canine patients from the neighborhoods of Camagüey, Cuba in the period 2016-2017, with clinical signs compatible with hemoparasitosis and laboratory diagnosis by blood smear and Giemsa coloration of canine ehrlichiosis. An alternative therapy with antianemic reconstitutes, hydration with Lactate Ringer and oxytetracycline was proposed for the treatment of canine ehrlichiosis.

The study aimed to determine the risk factors associated with the presentation of canine parvovirosis (CPV) in four locations in Cuba. The work was carried out between September 2018 and March 2019 with 87 canines of different breeds and ages, positive or not for CPV, in the municipalities of Ciego de Ávila, Camagüey, Morón and Gaspar (Cuba). The association measures [Odds ratio] (OR) of the possible irrigation factors to contract canine parvovirosis were determined. The risk factors associated with CPV with statistical significance were type of feeding and vaccination.

The aim of this retrospective study was to show the use of vincristine sulfate via subcutaneous in the control of genital and extragenital Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumour (TVT), by reviewing seven cases treated between 2000 and 2016 with clinical signs compatible with TVT. The clinical diagnosis of TVT was based on the macroscopic morphology and location of tumours and the signs of this pathology. Chemotherapy with vincristine sulfate at doses of 0.025 mg/kg for 3 to 6 weeks was effective in all cases, with remission of clinical signs.

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of nux vomica, the homeopathic complex TratHo® cholera and Gentamicin 5% in the treatment of diarrhea in piglets. A total of 150 piglets of 5 days old that showed diarrhea in a pig unit in Camagüey, Cuba, were evaluated. The animals were distributed in three groups of 50 each. In group I, piglets were treated with nux vomica 30 CH in a dose of 5 drops sublingual every 12 h the 1st day and then every 24 h until the 5th day. In group II, piglets were treated with to TratHo® cholera 30 CH in a dose of 5 drops sublingual every 12 h the 1st day and then every 24 h until the 5th day. In group III, piglets were treated with gentamicin 5% intramuscularly, 2 to 4 mg/kg every 12 h for 5 days. In all cases, piglets were rehydrated with lactated Ringer’s solution intraperitoneally, using 100 to 300 ml depending of the degree of dehydration. The clinical ev...
