Abstract

Canine Visceral Leishmaniosis (LVC) is a zoonotic infectious disease transmitted by a mosquito belonging to the family of phlebotomines. The clinical signs often observed involve lymphadenopathy, renal failure, polyarthritis, splenomegaly, skin signs such as hyperkeratosis, alopecia, onicogrifosis, among others. Treatment has high cost, and consists of the association of drugs, which can cause severe side effects on the patient due to its toxicity. Seeking to reduce side effects, improve patients' immunity and disposition, veterinarians have sought auxiliary therapies to minimize treatment damage, promoting greater well-being to the patient. Thus, this study seeks to report the case of a dog clinically and serologically diagnosed with Leishmaniosis, which obtained a positive result in the association of ozone gas applications with drug treatment.
