Este relatório refere-se ao estágio final do curso de enfermagem veterinária, realizado
no Hospital Veterinário da Madeira, com duração total de 7 semanas devido às
contingências provocadas pelo Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19). O objetivo foi
consolidar os conhecimentos adquiridos nos 3 anos do curso e pô-los em prática, em
especial na área de parasitologia onde se insere a dirofilariose, doença endémica na
região. Durante o tempo de estágio, a aluna teve a oportunidade de trabalhar em várias
áreas, destacando o internamento, onde passou a maior parte do tempo, assim como o
laboratório onde foram realizadas as técnicas de diagnóstico. Para um possível
diagnóstico da presença de Dirofilariose Cardiopulmonar Canina (DCC), a aluna
recolheu amostras de sangue a 27 cães de forma aleatória e avaliou pelo método de gota
fresca e esfregaço sanguíneo, obtendo 8 resultados positivos. Desses 8 animais, 7 nunca
tinham ido a uma consulta médico-veterinária, todos viviam em ambientes externos ou
mistos, sem qualquer tipo de protocolo preventivo para DCC e não estavam
desparasitados nem vacinados.
Com o objetivo de avaliar o conhecimento dos tutores em relação à doença, identificar
o concelho onde se insere o maior número de casos positivos, quantos fazem
tratamento nos animais positivos e se esses que tiveram animais positivos começarama
fazer prevenção nos seus novos animais, a aluna criou questionários para a população da
Região Autónoma da Madeira. Esteve disponível online durante 2 meses, nas plataformas
sociais da aluna e conseguiu uma amostra total de 319 respostas, com maior foco na
cidade do Funchal. Paralelamente foi enviado por email para as clínicas/hospital da região
um questionário com o objetivo de estimar o número de casos anuais positivos, tipo de
técnica usada no despiste e em que altura do ano há maior número de casos, obtendo
uma amostra de 3 num total de 21
This report refers to the final internship of the veterinary nurse course, which took place at the Veterinary Hospital, Hospital Veterinário da Madeira, with a full duration of 7 weeks due to the contingencies caused by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19). The goal was to consolidate the knowledge acquired in the 3 years of the course and put it into practice, especially in the area of parasitology where heartworm is insered, which is an endemic disease in the region. During the internship period, the student had the opportunity to work in several areas, highlighting the hospital ward, where she spent most of the time, as well as the laboratory where the diagnostic techniques were performed. For a possible diagnosis of the presence Canine Cardiopulmonary Heartworm Disease (CHD), the student collected blood samples from 27 dogs at random and analyzed them using the fresh drop and blood smear method, obtaining 8 positive results. Of these 8 animals, 7 had never been to a veterinary consultation, all lived outside or in mixed environments, without any tyoe of preventive protocol for CHD and were not dewormed or vaccinated. In order to assess the knowledge of tutors in relation to the disease, to identify the county where the greatest number of positive cases are found, how many treat positive animals and if those who had positive animals started to do prevention in their new animals, the studente created questionnaires for the population of the Autonomous Region of Madeira. It was available online for 2 months, on the student’s social platforms and obtained a total sample of 319 responses, with greater focus on the city of Funchal. In parallel, a questionnaire was sent by email to clinics/hospitals in the region in order to estimate the number of positive annual cases, the type of technique used in screening and what time of year there are more cases, obtaining a total sample of 3 out of a total of 21.
