Abstract(s)
A pancreatite é a doença mais frequente no pâncreas exócrino em cães e gatos. A relativa dificuldade no estudo deste órgão e desta doença em particular justificam a pertinência deste estudo. Neste trabalho foram analisados retrospectivamente os dados clínicos (semiológicos e analíticos) de animais tratados no Hospital Veterinário do Atlântico (HVA), entre Agosto de 2013 e Fevereiro de 2016. A população seleccionada totalizou 24 casos (11 cães e 13 gatos) com diagnóstico de pancreatite. Este diagnóstico foi realizado através de ecografia e/ou testes serológicos de imunorectividade. Foi efectuada análise descritiva desta população em relação ao género, raça e idade, sendo depois executada a análise estatística referente aos sinais clínicos e exames de diagnóstico realizados. Os resultados permitiram confirmar que existem diferenças no quadro clínico de pancreatite entre cães e gatos. Os cães apresentam um quadro sintomatológico mais expressivo, provavelmente devido ao facto de apresentar com maior frequência a forma aguda de pancreatite. Os gatos apresentam geralmente sinais menos específicos, o que dificulta a detecção precoce desta doença.
Pancreatitis is the most frequent exocrine pancreas disease in dogs and cats. The relative difficulty in the study of this organ and of this disease in particular are enough to justify this kind of study. In this work, clinical data (semiotic and analytical) from animals treated in Hospital Veterinário do Atlântico (HVA), between August 2013 and February 2016 was retrospectively analysed. The selected population included 24 cases (11 dogs and 13 cats) with clinical diagnosis of pancreatitis. This diagnosis was confirmed using abdominal ultrasonography and serum immunoreactivity tests. This population was descriptively analysed regarding gender, breed and age, and then statistically analysed regarding clinical signs and diagnostic test results. Observed results confirmed the differences in clinical presentation of pancreatitis between dogs and cats, and that dogs have a more overt signalement, as opposed to cats, which makes it difficult to detect early stages of pancreatitis in the latter species.
