Resumo
Atendeu-se uma cadela, sem raça definida, com aproximadamente cinco meses de idade, apresentando anamnese com queixa de apatia e hiporexia associadas a vômitos e emagrecimento progressivo com início incerto. Ao exame físico era evidente distensão abdominal com dilatação intestinal e aumento de peristaltismo. O animal apresentava-se emaciado e subdesenvolvido, com acentuado grau de desidratação, pulso filiforme e nível de consciência reduzido. Minutos após o início do atendimento a cadela foi a óbito. À necropsia, pôde-se observar um segmento do intestino delgado atravessando o púbis e com lúmen reduzido. Tal apresentação se faz relevante por se tratar de um caso nunca antes descrito na literatura veterinária.
A five-month-old mongrel bitch was presented with history of apathy and hyporexia in addition to vomit and progressive weight loss of uncertain beginning. At the physical examination, abdominal distention with intestinal dilatation and increased peristaltic movements was evident. The animal also was emaciated, highly dehydrated, with filiform pulse and reduced conscience level. It died a few minutes after the physical exam. At the necropsy, a small bowel segment could be observed crossing the pubic bone causing obstruction due to a reduction in the lumen at the point of adhesion. This presentation has an important relevance because such case has never been reported before in the veterinary medical practice.
