The oncilla (_Leopardus tigrinus_) is considered an endangered species in the Brazilian territory, being more vulnerable in some regions. Collecting information of this specie is essential to provide knowledge about its peculiaritie and help to reverse the current frame. Studies related to diagnostic imaging in the oncillas are rare as well as knowledge of their anatomy and diseases. Therefore, the abdominal ultrasound study of this species will provide a source of normality parameters, which may be used to diagnose diseases, contributing to the preservation and maintenance of the species. Twenty clinically healthy oncilla were selected for the abdominal ultrasound examination in order to obtain normal parameters of bladder, spleen, adrenal, kidney, stomach, liver and gallbladder, and Doppler parameters of liver and kidneys vessels. Two oncillas had anesthesia issues and were no included in the study. The aim of this study was to describe the normal abdominal echoanatomy of the oncilla. This study provides information of normal abdominal anatomical structures which can be basis for the study of diseases that cause abdominal involvement and to assist in the routine of centers of veterinary medicine in wild animals and/or cats. The hipothesis was that the echoanatomy of the oncilla was similar to the domestic cat. |
