Pioderma bacteriano por Staphylococcus spp en dos ocelotes (Leopardus pardalis) del parque temático Hacienda Nápoles.

Abstract

Remote clinical case report of two ocelots Leopardus pardalis, male, unsterilized, 2 years old, 6.5 and 7 kg in weight. In the remote clinical examination, it was evidenced that the animals are listless, inappetent and do not respond to positive conditioning stimuli. The animals in less than a week presented a skin lesion where alopecia was evidenced, which was exacerbated in region and intensity, thus generating a considerable lesion. The ocelots were identified as skinny ocelot 956 01700017724 and lame ocelot 977 170000084291, for each one a different condition was proposed as a presumptive diagnosis, thus for the first specimen bacterial pyoderma which is accompanied by chronic kidney disease and for the second bacterial pyoderma with complication of a fracture of the phalanx 5, thus being the dermatological disease shared by both specimens, which was approximated by means of diagnostic tests carried out such as hemoleukogram, blood biochemistry, skin cytology, trichogram, skin scraping plus KOH, antibiogram, for the skinny ocelot abdominal ultrasound and the lame ocelot x-ray of the forelimbs. The therapeutic approach consisted of palliative treatment for kidney disease and fracture, antibiotic therapy, and medicated baths for the dermatological condition.
