Resumen
Se realizó una pasantía de nueve semanas en Clinic for Equine Health de la
Universidad de Utrecht en Los Países Bajos. Se trabajó en el Departamento de Medicina
Interna y en el Departamento de Medicina Ambulatoria, el enfoque principal de la práctica
fue clínica y medicina interna de equinos.
Durante la pasantía se evaluaron 173 pacientes equinos, de los cuales 83 fueron
casos de medicina interna y 90 de medicina ambulatoria.
Se adquirió destrezas y conocimientos en clínica y medicina interna de equinos,
especialmente en las técnicas de exploración clínica y el uso de herramientas diagnósticas
como ultrasonografía, rayos X y endoscopía.
En cuanto a herramientas diagnósticas, el ultrasonido se utilizó en casos
relacionados con reproducción y locomoción, las interpretaciones radiológicas se utilizaron
para problemas del sistema músculo esquelético, y la endoscopia en problemas del sistema
respiratorio.
Se actualizaron conocimientos en el diagnóstico y manejo de enfermedades del
tracto gastrointestinal. En casos de cólico relacionados a timpanismo el tratamiento
consistió en la aplicación de parafina líquida vía sonda nasogástrica y el uso de AINES
endovenosos.
Respecto a enfermedades neurológicas, como la enfermedad de motoneurona
equina, el tratamiento consistió en una dieta rica en vitamina E y suplementación oral de la
misma.

Several skills and knowledge about equine internal medicine were acquired, especially on clinical exploration techniques, and the use of diagnostic tools such as ultrasonography, X rays, and endoscopy. The ultrasound was used on cases related to reproduction and locomotion, radiology images for musculoskeletal problems, and endoscopy for problems related to the respiratory system. Knowledge was acquired on diagnostics and therapeutics on gastrointestinal tract diseases. In tympanic type colic disease, the treatment was based on application of liquid paraffin via nasogastric tube and the use of IV NSAIDs. Cases involving neurological diseases, such as equine motor neuron disease, the treatment was a high vitamin E diet and oral supplements of vitamin E.
