Abstract

The present report aims to describe the activities performed and supervised during the mandatory curricular internship in Veterinary Medicine, in the area of small animal surgical clinic, carried out at GZN Veterinary Surgery Services LTDA, under the supervision of Veterinarian Gabriela Zucco Nadin and guidance of Veterinarian Prof. Me. Manoela Maria Bianchi. The internship took place from July 21st, 2025 to October 10th, 2025, totaling 469 hours. This document describes the internship location, the clinical routine, the activities performed, the caseload, and two case reports that were followed. The first case reports an enterectomy performed for removal of an intestinal tubular adenocarcinoma with nodal micrometastases at the ileocecocolic junction, and the second reports a nodulectomy associated with reconstructive surgery for excision of a grade I soft tissue sarcoma of perivascular subtype. During the internship period, 427 procedures were monitored, of which 54.8% involved canines and 45.2% felines. The most affected organ system was the reproductive system (93.9%), followed by the digestive system and associated glands (2.58%). Among the activities performed, the most frequent was medication administration (35.27%), followed by wound care procedures (23.91%). The mandatory curricular internship in Veterinary Medicine represented a fundamental stage that provided the opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired throughout the undergraduate program, as well as to develop and improve clinical reasoning and critical thinking, contributing to both personal and professional growth.
