Is gastroesophageal refluxin anesthetized animals among the reasons of this disease. This paper reports a case of esophageal luminal endoscopic dilations associated with intralesional triamcinolone in a bitch with esophageal strictures. A mongrel canines hows regurgitation and progressive weight loss. These signs appeared after elective laparoscopic OVH performed, where the patient had part of regurgitation during surgery. Based on clinical and endoscopic findings it was possible to diagnostic stenosis in the final third of the cervical esophagus. The treatment was done with esophageal dilations and intraluminnal triamcinolone administration. This procedure was repeated once a week for four weeks. The 15th dilatation occurred 14 days after the 14th. The patient was discharged after seven days of the final dilatation with no more regurgitation, even when feeding dry kibble within o incline. We concluded that the esophageal dilation associated with in tralesional triamcinolone were effective esophageal strictures treatment in this case.
