Retículo pericardite traumática em bovino leiteiro - relato de caso

Abstract

The Veterinary Medicine is a science of extreme importance to society. The supervised curricular internship contributes in an indispensable way to the training of the veterinarian. The present work aimed to report the activities developed at Fazenda Santo Antônio belonging to the Canto Porto Group, located in the city of Mogi Mirim, in the state of São Paulo, in the area of dairy cattle. Among the activities developed, clinical and laboratory care were monitored. The report describes a case of Traumatic Reticulum Pericarditis, a disease often found in dairy herds with economic relevance to farmers. Traumatic Reticulum Pericarditis is caused by sharp objects that are ingested by animals and cause perforations in the reticulum and pericardium, resulting in inflammation and infection of the pericardium, heart failure and toxemia. Traumatic Pericarditis Reticulum has great economic importance because most of the affected animals die due to the absence of diagnosis, which must be accurate and done earliest as possible so that the treatment can be used efficiently.
