    The case of a horse with a 5 of 5 claudication of the posterior left limb due to traumatic cause brought to the veterinary clinic Hermano Octavio Martínez López f. s. c is described. A general clinic test was performed, emphasizing the locomotor system. A dislocation in the hip joint was found, and it was confirmed by the ultrasonography test performed on the entire hip region. An evident separation of the femoral head and the left acetabulum could be seen, using the right hip as a reference. Given the prognosis of the affection, the animal´s sacrifice was authorized. Then, the hip´s dislocation was confirmed and so was the level of tissue damage around the zone, because of the femoral head´s displacement in a head to back direction. The main objective of this report is to show how ultrasonography is an efficient diagnostic aid for this kind of cases.

    Abastract: Colombian creole horses are native and descent, in part, from the horses brought by Spanish conquerors. They are mainly used as farm and exhibition animals, given their colorful and particular ways to take their steps and, currently, they are the most important race countrywide. Keeping in mind the usefulness of CBC in medicine and in horse clinics as a tool for diagnosis and therapies, and the little quantity of information available about the blood values for this race within the region, the hematologic values of a group of 162 horses were studied. The horses were distributed into six groups in the Aburrá valley. The blood samples collection started in April 2009 and finished in May, 2010. The blood was gotten directly from the external jugular vein and was stored in tubes with EDTA. Those Samples were processed in the veterinary clinic laboratory, in order to obtain the values of the quantities of erythrocytes (mil/μL), hematocrit (%), hemoglobin (g/dL), mid corpuscular volume (MCV), concentration of corpuscular mid hemoglobin (C.Hb.C.M), platelets (x103/μL), plasmatic proteins (g/L), fibrinogen (g/L), total leukocyte count (/μL) and absolute specific leucometry. The values obtained show small variations in comparison to the hematologic parameters applied in other world class races. In general, they had only a few hematologic alterations, and it could be related with the right management and the good health of these animals.
