Principales patologías de origen traumático en gatos atendidos en Biomedicina Veterinaria “Las Lomas” ubicado en la zona norte de la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

An investigation of the main traumatic pathologies was carried out in 100 cases of cats, which were classified with variables of sex, age, anatomical (castrated and whole) condition, causes of trauma and types of trauma. This research was carried out in the Veterinary Biomedicine "Las Lomas", located in the north of the city of Guayaquil. Digital radiographic studies were used to diagnose these traumas. In addition, we recorded all the data of the patients evaluated where it was determined that cats with a higher prevalence of trauma occur in a greater proportion in young male cats that have not been castrated and one of the main causes is by run over. This work was carried out in order to determine the frequency of traumatized cats arriving at the clinic and their predisposition according to the mentioned variables. As a conclusion, the radiological study is an essential part and is used to diagnose the severity of trauma in cats by observing bruises, fractures, wounds and dislocations in them. Owners are advised to castrate cats to avoid further trauma in the future.
