The jaguar is in a vulnerable status and is threatened with extinction. Many specimens are in a state of conservation in places such as zoos and wild cat nurseries, in order to protect cats that are unable to return to nature. The objective of this work was to report a Panthera onca retainer for the evaluation of possible myiasis in two wounds. An approximately 20-year-old female jaguar, light yellow in color, and its physical fitness score were also evaluated. His caretakers observed a lesion in the pectoral and axillary regions, with the possible presence of myiasis in both. A biochemical assessment of kidney and liver profiles was also requested. As a result, the presence of lesions suggestive of cancer recurrence, the presence of myiasis in the sites were observed, and a reassessment was carried out after 10 days of treatment. Biochemists showed slight changes. It was possible to conclude that the chemical containment of these animals is very beneficial, as it protects the physical integrity of both the animal and the team of veterinarians and assistants.
