O presente relatório foi realizado no âmbito do estágio final de curso de
enfermagem veterinária, na clínica veterinária AlcabidecheVet. O estágio durou
3 meses e teve como objetivo aplicar e desenvolver os conhecimentos
adquiridos ao longo do curso. Durante o estágio, as atividades desenvolvidas
pela aluna, incluíram áreas como medicina interna e preventiva, exames
complementares de diagnóstico, cirurgia e internamento, tendo a aluna
acompanhado 162 consultas, assistido a 48 cirurgias, e tendo contactado com
224 animais no internamento, dos quais 72 gatos, sendo esta a área onde mais
participou. Os gatos seniores são uma população crescente na prática clínica
diária e é importante que o Enfermeiro Veterinário compreenda as alterações
fisiológicas que advêm do envelhecimento, conheça as principais doenças a
que estes estão predispostos e as adaptações nutricionais e ambientais
necessárias, para que seja possível prestar os melhores cuidados ao animal e,
também, educar os tutores para tal. A aluna ao longo do estágio registou dados
de 22 gatos classificados como seniores e concluiu que existe principalmente
uma predisposição ao desenvolvimento de doenças do trato urinário nestes
animais. Também foi possível acompanhar dois casos clínicos de gatos
seniores, de uma paciente felina com doença renal crónica e ureterolitíase, e
de um gato com diabetes mellitus. O relatório possibilitou expandir os
conhecimentos sobre os cuidados seniores em gatos e o estágio permitiu o
desenvolvimento profissional e pessoal da aluna, visto que adquiriu novos
conhecimentos e competências de trabalho.
This report was carried out as part of the final internship of the veterinary nursing course, at the AlcabidecheVet veterinary clinic. The internship lasted 3 months and its goal was to develop and apply the knowledge acquired throughout the course. During the internship, the activities developed by the student included areas such as, internal and preventive medicine, complementary diagnostic exams, surgery and hospitalization, with the student following 162 consultations, assisting in 48 surgeries, and having contact with 224 animals in hospitalization, of which 72 cats, being this the area where she most participated. Senior cats are a growing population in the daily clinical practice, and as a veterinary nurse it is important to understand the physiological changes that come with aging, to know the main diseases to which they are predisposing, and the nutritional needs and environmental adaptations, so that it is possible to provide the best care for the animal and, also, educate the owners for such. During the internship, the student recorded data from 22 cats classified as seniors and concluded that there is a predisposition to the development of urinary tract diseases in these animals. She, also, followed two clinical cases, one patient with chronic kidney disease and ureterolithiasis, and another with diabetes mellitus. The report made it possible to expand knowledge about senior care in cats and the internship allowed professional and personal development for the student, as she acquired new knowledge and work skills.
