Abstract(s)
O presente relatório é referente ao estágio realizado no âmbito da licenciatura em
Enfermagem Veterinária da Escola Superior Agrária de Elvas e descreve as atividades realizadas
na clínica veterinária Animalcare durante as 12 semanas previstas para a concretização do
mesmo. No decorrer do estágio a aluna teve a oportunidade de, por um lado, consolidar os
conhecimentos adquiridos no referido curso e, por outro, aplicá-los à prática clínica de animais
de companhia. Nas suas funções como enfermeira estagiária teve a oportunidade de executar
diferentes tarefas, nomeadamente, nas áreas de cirurgia e laboratório, internamento, consulta
e receção. Paralelamente, a estagiária realizou um estudo descritivo de cães seniores (maiores
de 6 anos de idade) assistidos pela clínica mencionada, entre março de 2020 e março de 2021,
complementado com um questionário direcionado aos tutores destes animais. Estes estudos
tiveram como objetivos verificar a prevalência de animais que realizam check-up, identificar as
patologias mais frequentes dos animais presentes às consultas na clínica Animalcare; analisar os
dados obtidos em comparação com as referências teóricas consultadas; analisar as
considerações que os tutores têm em relação aos seus animais, para, finalmente, criar um
plano de saúde para animais seniores adequado às necessidades destes animais. Das patologias
analisadas as mais frequentes foram a músculo-esquelética e a cardiovascular, o que está
relacionado com as respostas do questionário, no qual os tutores referem como alterações
comportamentais as interligadas com o sistema locomotor. Para a elaboração da proposta do
plano de saúde, a estagiária foi aprofundar os conhecimentos relativamente à importância do
check-up sénior, as principais patologias, as raças mais predisponentes e a sua prevenção.
The present report refers to the internship carried out under the degree in Veterinary Nursing at the Escola Superior Agrária de Elvas and describes the activities carried out at the Animalcare veterinary clinic during the 12 weeks foreseen for its completion. During the internship, the student had the opportunity, on the one hand, to consolidate the knowledge acquired during that course and, on the other, to apply it to the clinical practice of companion animals. In her duties as a trainee nurse, she can perform different tasks, namely, in the areas of surgery and laboratory, hospitalization, consultation, and reception. At the same time, the intern conducted a retrospective study of senior and geriatric dogs that attended the aforementioned clinic, between March 2020 and March 2021, complemented with a questionnaire addressed to the guardians of these animals, older than the age of 6. These studies aimed to understand the need for check-ups and the most prevalent pathologies in senior and geriatric animals, check the most prevalent pathologies at the Animalcare clinic, compare theoretical references with the results obtained, and analyze the considerations that the guardians have about their pets (senior and geriatric dogs) to, finally, create a health plan for senior animals, adequate to the needs of the sample. From the analyzed pathologies, the ones that stood out the most were the musculoskeletal and the cardiovascular, which are related to the answers of the form, which the guardians refer to as behavior changes related to the locomotive system. To this end, the intern went to deepen her knowledge regarding the importance of senior check-up, the main pathologies, the most predisposing breeds, and their prevention.
