Abstract

In the present study, we report a case of animal care, female SRD, 3 years old and 7 months old, weighing 15 kg, with clinical suspicion of fetal dystocia. He was seen in the emergency department of the Hospital Veterinário Universitário (HVU / UFPI), two days ago he was in labor, without expulsion of any product, with bloody vaginal discharge, prostrate and without food. However, before the physical examination was completed, the patient had a cardiorespiratory arrest and died. Thus, we opted for necropsy, which the post-mortem diagnosis revealed diaphragmatic hernia, respiratory failure and septicemia. This report highlights the importance of a thorough clinical / physical examination to establish the most correct therapy in pregnant animals that arrive for emergency care due to complications at the time of delivery, and without forgetting the importance of prenatal care in companion animals, which does not occur frequently in the veterinary clinical routine.
