Abstract(s)
Os Asininos são considerados animais rústicos porque têm elevada capacidade de adaptação a meios áridos. No entanto, podem ser afetados por diversas patologias, nomeadamente as patologias podais, se não forem adotados os cuidados necessários para garantir o bom estado dos cascos. Tal como os equinos, os asininos devem ter acesso a cuidados podais adequados, como ferração e/ou aparo de forma a garantir conforto, saúde, e bem-estar do casco. As patologias podais não devem ser negligenciadas porque são causa de claudicação, dor e desconforto. Esta dissertação visa abordar as principais patologias podais em asininos de forma a compreender as várias abordagens terapêuticas. Desta forma é importante conhecer a anatomia e fisiologia do casco saudável. Do ponto de vista anatómico, a estrutura interna do casco do asinino assemelha-se à do cavalo, mas tem particularidades distintas a nível da estrutura externa e também a nível funcional. Só após esta perceção é que se devem abordar as principais doenças podais em asininos, nomeadamente laminite, abcesso de casco, e formigueiro, descrevendo as diferentes terapêuticas. Atualmente existem várias abordagens terapêuticas não farmacológicas usadas isoladamente ou combinadas com medicação para auxiliar o tratamento farmacológico das patologias podais. Entre as mais recentemente citadas encontramos a hirudoterapia, homeopatia, fitoterapia, entre outras. O principal objetivo desta dissertação é a abordagem das técnicas terapêuticas ou auxiliares de terapia farmacológica, consideradas como mais recentes, de forma disponibilizar informação aos proprietários sobre estas terapias e assim utilizar os fármacos de forma mais adequada. A tese será uma revisão bibliográfica que incluirá uma revisão sobre a anatomia do casco dos asininos, por forma a facilitar a compreensão da abordagem das doenças podais mais frequentes, nomeadamente a laminite, o abcesso de casco, e o formigueiro.
Donkeys are considered rustic animals because of their abilityto adapt in arid environments. However, they can be affected by various hoof pathologies, it they do not receive the necessary care to ensure the hooves’ good condition. Like horses, donkeys should have access to appropriate hoof care, such as shoeing and/or trimming, to ensure comfort, health, and well-being of the hoof. Foot pathologies should not be neglected because they cause of lameness, pain and discomfort. This work aims to address the main hoof pathologies in donkeys and understand the different therapeutic approaches. To better understand hoof pathologies, it is important to understand the anatomy and physiology of a healthy hoof. From an anatomical point of view, the internal structure of the donkey’s hoof resembles that of a horse, but it has differences in terms of external structure and functioning. Only after this comprehension should the main hoof diseases in donkeys be addressed, namely laminitis, hoof abscess, and white line disease, in order to describe the different therapeutic approaches. Currently, there are several non-pharmacological therapeutic approaches used alone or combined with medication to assist in the pharmaceutical treatment of hoof pathologies. Among the more recently cited ones, we find hydrotherapy, laser therapy, homeopathy, phytotherapy, among others. The main objective of this thesis is to address the most recent and appropriate therapeutic approaches. The dissertation is a literature review that will include the anatomy of donkeys’ hooves better understand the therapeutic approach to the most common hoof diseases, namely laminitis, hoof abscess, and white line disease.
