Intestinal diverticula are very common in human medicine, being the most common location in the colon (35-75%) and duodenum (15- 42%). In veterinary medicine they are rare. The present report aims to describe the presence of a duodenal diverticulum in a Boxer breed canine, weighing 25 kg, with brown fur, two years old, whose history reflected sporadic vomiting, weight loss and hyporexia. Undergoing exploratory laparotomy due to the presence of a foreign body in the descending duodenum, the patient presented in situ, a deformation compatible with diverticula, with confirmation of it as histopatholo- gical result. Given the presence of gastrointestinal signs in canines, young people in general and Boxer breed in particular, it is suggested to consider the intestinal diverticulum as a pathological entity, within the differential diagnoses.

Keywords : canines; boxer; duodenal diverticulum; sporadic vomi- ting; weightloss.
