Abstract

Currently, foot disorders have become a common occurrence in the Large Animal Clinic due to the increasing demand for corrective and clinical management. This scenario is aggravated by both intensive and extensive animal husbandry practices. In environments with restricted space and high population density, the costs associated with preventive or prophylactic measures make the treatment of injuries a frequent necessity. When addressing the treatment of foot disorders, we highlight the effectiveness of combining corrective trimming techniques with drug treatments. This approach aims to provide effective action and promote a satisfactory recovery response. Appropriate management from the beginning of treatment proves to be crucial, positively impacting the prognosis and mitigating financial losses associated with the case. In the report of a specific case, we followed a ringed male cattle, weighing 430 kg at 18 months of age, from an intensive pasture finishing system (TIP). This animal was affected by septic pododermatitis and underwent corrective trimming combined with pharmacological treatment, using 2% Lidocaine, Diclofenac Sodium and Enrofloxacin, in addition to cauterization with a hot iron and application of a waterproofing bandage. After three weeks of treatment, a satisfactory recovery was observed in the animal, which returned to the production system without presenting relapses. This case highlights the importance of an integrated approach in the treatment of foot disorders, aiming for effectiveness, full recovery and successful reintegration of the animal into the productive context.
