Abstract

The objective of this study was to describe a congenital malformation observed in a neonate dog treated at a Veterinary School Hospital. The fetus presented macroscopic alterations of gastroschisis and thoracosquise. Due to the great anatomic defect observed in the canine neonate of the present study and the scarce information in the literature on how to proceed with these congenital malformations in veterinary medicine as well as the failure in the treatment of neonatal support, fetal euthanasia was chosen. Because it is a congenital malformation, gastroschisis and thoracoschisis present limited treatment, suggesting the need for studies on embryonic development, the efficiency of applicable surgical techniques and the treatment of adequate neonatal support in order to guarantee a good prognosis for the patients.
