The jaguar (Panthera onca) is a species of carnivorous mammal of the family Felidae and the only representative of the genus Panthera in the Americas, classified with conservation status as threatened. Orphaned jaguar puppies are victims of anthropogenic factors and occasionally adopted by riverside Amazonians during a certain period, leading to epidemiological implications of infectious and parasitic diseases among humans, domestic and wild animals. Infection with the trematode Platynosomum spp. it is common in regions of tropical and subtropical climates and is considered the most relevant among the liver diseases of parasitic origin in feline medicine, commonly described in domestic cats, but also registered in birds, wild cats and other mammals. The present work aims to report the sequence of care, treatment and clinical evolution of a patient of the Panthera onca species affected by gastroenteritis diagnosed by means of clinical signs, imaging tests, cytological examination of feces by direct method, with a large amount of bacteria with predominance of the cocci type, associated with the parasitological diagnosis of feces with the presence of Platynosomum illiciens eggs. The results obtained and publications raised provoke pertinent discussions about the case, and this may be a material used for future consultations due to the scarcity of the theme in the literature on wild felids, especially when correlated to the jaguar. Keywords: Jaguar. Gastroenteritis. Coproparasitological. Platynosomum illiciens.
