Endometritis por Actinobacillus Equuli en cebra (Equus quagga) Parques Temáticos Hacienda Nápoles.

Abstract

Endometritis is an inflammation of the endometrium, commonly reported in mares, but with no information in zebras, this condition can be classified as acute or chronic and is generally caused by bacteria. Among the predisposing factors that influence the presentation of the pathology are age, abnormal vulvar conformation and immunosuppression of the animal. The present case report describes an adult non-pregnant female that developed locomotion abnormalities. An attempt was made to treat her clinically, but due to the presentation of non-specific signs, the diagnosis was difficult during the animal's life. Additionally, systemic alterations were found indicating a disseminated bacterial infection. The isolation of Actinobacillus equuli confirmed the bacterial etiology.
