Abstract

Many animals die each year in the midst of lightning storms due to electrical discharges that pass through the body, especially quadruped animals like cattle. There are few studies and reports on animals that survived this type of accident, and the clinical signs are mostly nonspecific, thus making it difficult for the treatments to be performed in this case. Nowadays, human literature of researchers as Cooper is used as the basis to use as a base treatment. In this work, a case of a 7 month- old Nelore cattle animal of approximately 320 kg, which suffered an electric discharge on Santa Vergínia Farm - Mato Grosso do Sul. The treatment was due to the clinical signs presented during the observation of the animal, thus obtaining success in its recovery.
