Fístula perianal em cães – relato de caso

Abstract

Fistula, fissure or also called anal furunculosis, is a chronic pathology of inflammatory purulent character of the perianal gland, resulting in discomfort, painful abscess and weakness of the animals. The discomfort generated by this disease is often only referred to by the owner when he observes the animal by dragging the butt on the floor; Biting the base of the tail; Dyskinesia (painful and difficult defecation); Licking the anal region often or when the animal cries and this becomes a discomfort in daily living. Due to the concern with the welfare and health of these animals, the present study reports two cases of clinical care in German Shepherd dogs, with different indoles and whose treatment also differed in the result. Therefore, the need for intensive care by the owners does not exclude the high incidence of future complications, thus making the prognosis reserved in some cases.
