Abstract

The present study aims to report a case of primary spontaneous pneumothorax resulting from a pulmonary bubble in a dog. The patient, female, without defined race (SRD), of 25 kg and 10 years of age was treated with tachypnea and history of recurrent pneumothorax, the chest radiography confirmed the pneumothorax and computed tomography, after emergency thoracentesis, confirmed the presence of a pulmonary bubble in the left cranial lobe. The surgical treatment was performed with partial lobectomy by intercostal thoracotomy, which, although not recommended by the literature, allowed less surgical time and minor trauma. In the 10-day postoperative follow-up, the patient had complete recovery, without complications or recurrence of the condition.
