LESÃO DERMONECRÓTICA EM UM GATO ATRIBUÍDA A ENVENENAMENTO POR LOXOSCELES - RELATO DE CASO.

Accidents caused by spiders of the genus Loxosceles are important in the small animal clinic, even though there are no epidemiological data on these attacks in pets, given the severity of the lesion and possible systemic complications, it becomes necessary to know more about the species and the consequences of the poisoning. The present work reports the presence of a dermonecrotic lesion in a cat attributed to brown spider (Loxosceles sp). The patient had a necrotic lesion in the perineal region with fibrin and purulent secretion. The treatment consisted of using chlorhexidine for cleaning, hydrogel, sugar, Fitofix® and Dersani® as healing promoters. After one month of treatment, the animal showed a satisfactory improvement.
