Relatório de estágio curricular obrigatório: área de clínica médica de pequenos animais

Abstract

The following report refers to the mandatory curricular internship that took place at São Francisco Veterinary Center, located in the city of Bento Gonçalves, in medical clinic for dogs and cats. The document has the goal of describing the internship location, its structure and team, as well as the case series and the activities monitored and carried out during its period. The internship was guided by the Master Professor Fabiana Uez Tomazzoni and supervised by the veterinarian Carlos Eduardo Albarello, taking place from March 9th to May 15th, 2026, totaling 400 hours. The total consultations were 188, with a higher incidence of disorders of the gastrointestinal system and attached organs (n=40/21,2%), followed by musculoskeletal disorders (n = 25/13,2%). In the matter of the total consultations, 142 (75,5%) were for dogs and 46 (24,5%) for cats, with mixed breed males being the most prevalent sex and breed in both species. During the internship period, a total of 893 outpatient procedures and 116 diagnostic imaging procedures were monitored and/or performed, with emphasis on the administration of intravenous medication (n=250/28,5%), as it is part of the hospitalization routine. The reported clinical cases refer to hypoadrenocorticism in a 3-year-old Maltese dog and an alimentary lymphoma in a 10-year-old mixed-breed feline. In this way, the internship period was extremely important for professional technical development, enabling the application of clinical reasoning and the implementation of the skills developed during graduation.
