Relatório de estágio curricular obrigatório: área de clínica médica e cirúrgica de felinos

Abstract

This work aims to describe the curricular internship carried out in the area of medical and surgical clinic of felines at Gatices Veterinary Hospital and Cat Store, which is located in Caxias do Sul, RS during the period from August 5 to October 18, 2024, totaling 440 hours. Under the supervision of veterinarian Nathalia Rocha and guidance of Prof. Me. Fabiana Tomazzoni Uez, the report described the internship location, its structure and member team, as well as the casuistry and the activities monitored and carried out during this period. In the medical clinic, it was possible to follow 92 consultations with a higher occurrence of diseases of the digestive system and adjoining organs (n=43/26.22%), and several hospitalized animals (n=57/38.26%), where 57.72% (n=86) of the total felines were males and 42.28% (n=63) females, with a higher prevalence of mixed-breed animals (n=124/83.22%). In the surgical clinic, 3 procedures were followed, namely hernia repair, elective ovariohysterectomy and arthrodesis and external fixation of the heel. In addition, there is the elucidation of two clinical cases followed during the mandatory curricular internship period, the first on chronic kidney disease in a 5-year-old female mixed-breed feline (SRD), and the second, of a 5-year-old Persian feline, with the presence of a linear intestinal foreign body. The internship was fundamental to confirm the choice in exclusive care for felines, an area that has been growing and becoming essential to provide a deeper understanding of the particularities of the species, ensuring adequate and personalized care.
