Introduction: Postoperative wound healing in dogs, crucial for recovery and complication prevention, has prompted exploration of innovative therapies like ozone. While human studies support its positive effects, applying ozone in dogs demands a deeper analysis due to physiological differences. This study in Guaranda assesses ozone-enriched water's impact on surgical wounds in dogs, aiming to enhance postoperative protocols and strengthen veterinary practice with scientific evidence in an underexplored area for the benefit of animal health. Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of ozone-enriched water in the healing of surgical wounds in male and female dogs in the Canton of Guaranda, Bolivar Province, at the Veterinary Clinic "de Pelos J.E" and Pet Shop. Methodology: This study employed a descriptive experimental design conducted at the Veterinary Clinic "de Pelos J.E" and Pet Shop in Guaranda during August and September 2023. Forty canine patients were randomly assigned to two groups: one treated with ozonated water and another control group without treatment. The population included 15 females and 15 males undergoing ovariohysterectomy and orchiectomy, excluding pre-existing medical conditions or a history of adverse reactions to ozone. Surgical procedures followed veterinary standards, with anesthetic protocol and pain evaluation using the Glasgow Pain Scale. Tissue samples were collected on the third and seventh days for histopathological analysis. Results: The results indicate that the group treated with ozonated water shows a significant presence of fibrous connective tissue (FCT), with 33.3% (10/30) exhibiting an abundant amount and 66.7% (20/10) with a moderate presence. In the control group, we observed a moderate presence of FCT in the majority (90%, 9/10). Statistical data reveal a marked difference (P < 0.05) on the seventh day, where the treated group exhibits 76.7% (23/30) with moderate neovascularization and 13.3% (4/30) with an abundant presence. In comparison, the control group shows 60% (6/10) with mild neovascularization and 40% (4/10) with moderate neovascularization. Regarding inflammation, 26.7% (8/30) of the treated group shows absence, and 73.3% (22/30) shows mild inflammation. In contrast, all patients in the control group exhibit mild inflammation. As for healing, 70% (21/30) of the treated group shows comprehensive healing at 6 days, 30% (9/30) at 5 days, while the control group achieves adequate healing by the 8th day in 100% of cases. Conclusion: The use of ozone-enriched water significantly accelerated the healing process, enhancing the organization of collagen and other tissue components compared to the control group. Additionally, there was an effective reduction in inflammation in surgical wounds, indicating a decrease in the inflammatory response in the surrounding tissue. These results suggest a positive and potentially beneficial impact of ozonized water on the speed of recovery.

Introduction:   Ultrasound is an affordable and non-invasive technique that provides essential information about the parenchyma of organs and adjacent structures. It is an essential tool in the diagnosis of pancreatic disorders and provides a rapid prognosis. New techniques are being studied to complement the information obtained by conventional ultrasound and contribute to better diagnostic quality. Pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition of the pancreas, the causes and pathophysiology of which remain poorly understood. Objective:  To evaluate the ultrasound effectiveness in the diagnosis of pancreatitis in dogs during daily clinical consultation. Methodology: The research is of a non-experimental / descriptive cross-sectional nature, using chi2 statistical analysis, for two variables with measuring scales of 31 canines, with ultrasound diagnostic methods and cPL test. Results: The results of this analysis of 31 samples indicate that both the ultrasound evaluation of the right and left branch of the pancreas have been shown to be effective in the detection of pancreatitis, with positivity rates of 58.83% and 61.29%, respectively. Conclusion: In summary, the results of this study with 31 samples suggest that both ultrasound evaluation of the right and left branch of the pancreas are effective in the detection of pancreatitis. It is noteworthy that there is a strong concordance between the positive samples identified by the ultrasound evaluation of both branches and the positive results obtained by the cPL test.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect of apitoxin, obtained from bee stings (Apis mellifera), as a coadjuvant treatment in musculoskeletal diseases in domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), with the aim of improving the mobility of the animals. The research was carried out between August and December at the Veterinary Clinic "Entre Garras y Bigotes" in the city of Quito. Data were collected from 15 dogs of various breeds, ages and sexes, all with mobility problems and pain, evaluated using the Glasgow Pain Scale. The selected patients were divided into three groups: T1, which was administered carprofen 4.4 mg/kg every 24 hours for 5 days, together with three direct inoculations of apitoxin in the affected area every 48 hours for three occasions; T2, which received exclusively three stings of apitoxin in the affected area, every 48 hours for 3 occasions; and T3, which was administered exclusively carprofen 4.4 mg/kg every 24 hours for 5 days. Statistical analysis revealed that the T1 group experienced positive changes in functional evolution. However, when comparing the treatments and evaluation times (p=0.598), it was determined that, regardless of the treatment applied, a decrease in the signs of pain was observed.

Introduction.  In the field of veterinary medicine, the choice of diagnostic methods to identify pathogens plays a crucial role in directing the treatment and prognosis of diseases. In field settings, method selection is often influenced by challenges such as difficulty, lack of equipment and cost of testing. In this context, Diff Quick and Snap*4dx tests emerge as viable alternatives, as they are characterized by rapid execution and ease of application in the field, in addition to providing a high level of reliability in diagnostic determination. Objective. The objective of this research was to evaluate the prevalence of canine ehrlichiosis in the rural parish of Guachanama, by comparing two diagnostic methods: Diff Quick and Snap*4dx. Methodology. Within the framework of the present investigation, 100 blood samples from canines in the rural neighborhoods of Limon, Linuma and La Hamaca, located in the parish of Guachanama, Canton Paltas, were examined. The diagnosis of Ehrlichiosis was carried out using the Diff Quick and Snap*4dx methods, allowing us to make a diagnostic comparison between these two approaches. Results. After obtaining the results, it was evident that the diagnostic efficacy of the Diff Quick technique was inferior, revealing a total of 38 positive samples. In contrast, the Snap*4dx technique showed superior performance with a total of 40 positive and 60 negative samples. The difference was significantly more pronounced in samples taken from canines younger than one year, with a total of 12 positives, compared to samples from canines older than one year, where 20 positives were recorded. In relation to the prevalence by sectors, it was observed that in the La Hamaca neighborhood, located at an altitude of 2800 meters above sea level, with a climatic range of 18 to 20 degrees Celsius, the highest number of positive cases was recorded, totaling 19. In the Linuma neighborhood, 12 positive patients were identified, while in the Limon neighborhood, located at 1100 meters above sea level with a warm climate, 7 positive cases were detected. Conclusion. Based on the results obtained in the present study, it can be inferred that the diagnosis of canine Ehrlichiosis through the Diff Quick method showed inferior efficacy, revealing a total of 38 positive (38%) and 62 negative (62%) samples. In contrast, the Snap4dx technique exhibited superior performance, with a total of 40 positive (40%) and 60 negative (60%) samples. These findings highlight the higher diagnostic accuracy of the Snap4dx technique compared to the Diff Quick method in the field of Veterinary Medicine. Area of knowledge: Veterinary Medicine
