Abstract

We describe the case of a canine patient named Hachi, Alaskan Malamute breed with 8 months old, male sex, whole reproductive state and weight of 29 kg, who entered a nocturnal consultation on September 12, 2017 at the Kanicat veterinary clinic. The patient presented tachypnea, fever and pain in the left forelimb, with alterations in the blood count of regenerative anemia, leukocytosis and neutrophilia with deviation to the left. Subsequently, thoracic ultrasonography was performed finding a pleural effusion, whereby it was decided to insert a thoracic drainage tube, evacuate the fluid and perform a physical-chemical content, resulting in septic and hemorrhagic exudate associated with pathological conditions of thoracic traumas.
