Canine Parvovirus, (CPV), is one of the main viral agents that affect canines
regardless their age, but puppies are more likely to suffer from it. Nowadays, the
world epidemiological situation of this disease is enzootic. Despite the availability of
a vaccine, its dissemination is growing among canine populations from the South
of the Aburrá Valley, the place in which the case analysis is focused. This article
illustrates a brief and updated bibliographic revision of CPV, discussing the diagnostic
plans, treatments and the prevention of this disease at a world scale. Cases in the
South of the Aburrá Valley are also introduced, taking Clínica Veterinaria Lasallista
Hermano Octavio Martínez as a reference.
Uveodermatologic syndrome can be identified because it occurs with signs of
anterior or posterior uveitis, periocular and mucocutaneous junction’s alopecia and
depigmentation signs. An uveodermatologic syndrome case in an 8 1/2 years old
collie sheepdog is described. The dog had periorbital alopecia and depigmentation
in mucoctaneous junctions. A biopsy of the injuries in the periorbital and nose region
turned out in a definitive diagnose of uveodermatologic syndrome. Then, the clinical
situation was solved by the use of a therapy with prednisolone.
