Abstract

Fractures of the mandible and maxilla are common in dogs and cats, representing 3% of all fractures in dogs and 15% of which occur in cats, the main cause of injuries are usually the motor vehicle collisions, falls and fights. Many treatments are proposed to correct this defect, as the use of intramedullary pin, the external skeletal fixation, cerclage and use of acrylics and bony plates. The present study reports the case of a dog's Poodle Adult, showing fractures in the jaw with bone loss, and ocular injury caused by bites from another animal. The technique used in this was transfixed with Kirschner intramedullary pin flat rostral to the region, coupled with the bone plate to the area of the mandibular body. The treatment prescribed in the postoperative period was the basis of antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic and past diet. The total recovery of the animal was given 30 days after surgery.
