Luxación coxal cráneo dorsal en canino hembra de 4 meses.

Abstract

A 4-month-old Cocker Spaniel, whose owner reports having been run over, was taken to the CVPAUP. On clinical examination, the patient presented claudication without support (grade IV), pain on palpation, abduction of the thigh and hip, as well as asymmetry in the pelvis compatible with coxal dislocation. Radiographic examinations were carried out confirming the dorsal skull coxal dislocation of the right limb. Complementary tests were taken, such as blood counts and blood chemistries, which were within the reference values. It was decided to enter the operating room, proceeding to perform the surgical treatment (surgical resection of the femoral head and neck of the right limb) without any complications. Post-surgical management was carried out without major complications and this was based on the monitoring of vital signs, an in-hospital treatment with antibiotic therapy, analgesia, gastric protector was performed. He was discharged with out-of-hospital treatment with antibiotics, analgesia, gastric protector and a dressing system that was carried out for 10 days, later he returned to a control assessment in which the patient's evolution without abnormalities was evidenced.
