O presente relatório de estágio, de duração de 1 mês e meio, foi realizado no Centro
Veterinário de Setúbal, no âmbito da licenciatura em Enfermagem Veterinária da Escola
Superior Agrária de Elvas. Teve como objetivo, o desenvolvimento de competências na
área de Enfermagem Veterinária, assim como o acompanhamento da casuística clínica,
auxílio ao Médico Veterinário, realização de métodos complementares de diagnóstico e
apoio na hospitalização e nas cirurgias. Ao longo dos anos, o vínculo homem-animal
tornou-se cada vez mais próximo, a equipa veterinária obteve mais qualificações e
ocorreram avanços na medicina veterinária, resultando em um aumento na expectativa
de vida dos animais de companhia. Neste sentido, no decorrer do estágio a aluna
executou os cuidados geriátricos a ter com os canídeos presentes na hospitalização e
cirurgia, oferecendo qualidade de vida e bem-estar a estes animais, procurando
relacionar o fator idade com as doenças associadas a cada paciente; focando-se nos
cuidados intensivos, na prevenção e tratamento. Os dados obtidos foram referentes ao
período de estágio, onde foram analisados 70 cães com idade igual ou superior a 6 anos,
submetidos a consulta, nestes, observou-se uma maior prevalência de algum tipo de
neoplasias. Concluindo que, animais mais velhos apresentam uma frequência
relativamente alta de patologias, com maior prevalência nos animais de porte grande e
de raça pura. Sendo que, animais de pequeno porte ou sem raça definida apresentam
uma expetativa de vida maior, revelando uma importância acrescida no
acompanhamento médico para um cão geriátrico.
