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

Abstract

The supervised curricular internship constitutes the final stage of the academic training of the Veterinary Doctor, aiming to provide the student with the opportunity to exercise, in practice, the knowledge acquired throughout the undergraduate course. Thus, the internship was carried out at the São Francisco Clinic in the city of Esteio - RS during the months of February to May 2026 under the supervision of the specialized veterinary doctor Guilherme Azevedo Cirino and guidance of professor doctor Antonella Souza Mattei. The objective of this work was to describe the activities developed, casuistry and report the clinical cases followed during the supervised internship period.. In the described period, 98 patients were assisted. The largest casuistry was represented by the canine species (n = 50; 51%), with a predominance of females (n = 31; 62%) and from 6 to 10 years of age (32.7%).The consultations were divided into preventive medicine care (n= 57) and pathologies (n= 80). Regarding preventive medicine, immunizations were (n= 54) the most frequent, while dermatological disorders were the most prevalent, representing 31% of the total. A total of 645 activities were performed and/or monitored, among which blood collection was the most frequent (n = 130; 20%). Regarding the clinical cases, the first report describes a canine, young adult, stray and uncastrated with anaplasmosis associated with myiasis infestation. The second case reported an adult female canine, of the Labrador Retriever breed with otitis externa due to Malassezia spp. In both cases, the performance of complementary exams was indispensable for the diagnosis and the direction of the appropriate therapeutic conduct. It was concluded that the curricular internship fulfilled its integrating role between theory and practice, stimulating clinical reasoning. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
