Abstract

The present report aims to describe all the activities observed and performed during the mandatory curricular internship in the field of small animal medical and surgical clinic, under the supervision of Prof. Fabiana Uez Tomazzoni, MSc. The internship was carried out at Clínica Munari Centro de Saúde Animal, located in Farroupilha, RS, from February 24 to May 30, 2025, totaling 400 hours, under the supervision of veterinarian Camila Pereira Munari. In the medical clinic, 157 consultations were followed, with the integumentary system presenting the highest number of cases (n=27/17.20%). In the surgical clinic, 41 procedures were performed, among which elective orchiectomy was the most prevalent (n=7/17.10%). Regarding outpatient and diagnostic procedures observed and/or performed, intravenous drug administration was the most frequent (n=182/13.55%), followed by rectal temperature measurement (n=143/10.65%) and venipuncture (n=143/10.65%). The canine species (n=90/57.32%) was predominant in the consultations and procedures when compared to felines (n=67/42.68%). Throughout the report, the internship location, activities performed, case series, and two case reports are described: the first concerning vesical urolithiasis with cystotomy, and the second involving gallbladder mucocele with cholecystectomy, both in canines of the German Spitz breed. The mandatory curricular internship was of utmost importance for applying the knowledge acquired throughout the undergraduate program, as well as for experiencing the daily veterinary routine.
