Resumen
Se realizó una pasantía de 936 horas entre el 3 de enero hasta el 21 de julio de
2022, en tres centros médicos veterinarios distintos, dos ubicados en Costa Rica: la
Clínica Veterinaria Vicovet (CVV) y el Hospital de Especies Menores y Silvestres de la
Escuela de Medicina Veterinaria de la Universidad Nacional (HEMS); y el otro en
Alemania: la Clínica de Pequeñas Especies de la Escuela Superior de Medicina
Veterinaria Hannover (KFK-TiHo).
Durante la práctica, se desarrollaron habilidades prácticas y se aplicaron
conceptos teóricos adquiridos durante la Carrera de Medicina Veterinaria, mediante la
atención de 603 (78,3%) caninos y 167 (21,7%) felinos, es decir, un total de 770
animales. En los pacientes se realizaron un total de 904 pruebas complementarias,
incluyendo hematología, serología, microbiología, oftalmología, anatomopatología y
análisis de otros líquidos biológicos y 648 pruebas de diagnóstico por imágenes,
incluyendo ecografía, radiografía, TAC y RM.
Los animales que no requirieron una intervención quirúrgica se clasificaron
como medicina interna, los cuales fueron la mayoría, debido a que se atendieron 447
(76,9%) caninos y 134 (20,1%) felinos. Además, se brindó atención a 130 animales
que se sometieron a cirugía de tejidos blandos, 103 (79,2%) perros y 27 (20,8%) gatos,
y 59 a cirugía de ortopedia o neurología, 53 (89,8%) caninos y 6 (10,2%) felinos. El
sistema afectado con mayor frecuencia en cada especie varió según el centro médico
veterinario.
A 936-hour externship was carried out between January 3rd and July 21st, 2022, at three different veterinary centers, two located in Costa Rica: the Veterinary Clinic Vicovet (CVV) and the Hospital of Small Animal and Wildlife of the School of Veterinary Medicine of the National University of Costa Rica (HEMS); and the other in Germany: the Small Animal Clinic of the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (KFK-TiHo). During the practice, practical skills were developed and theoretical knowledge acquired during the Veterinary Medicine Career was applied, through the care of 603 (78,3%) canines and 167 (21,7%) felines, for a total of 770 animals. A total of 904 additional tests were performed on the patients, including hematology, serology, microbiology, ophthalmology, anatomopathological and body fluids analysis, and 648 diagnostic imaging, including ultrasound, radiography, CT and MRI. The animals that didn’t require surgical intervention were classified as internal medicine, which were the majority, since 447 (76,9%) canines and 134 (20,1%) felines were treated. In addition, care was provided to 130 animals that underwent soft tissue surgery, 103 (79,2%) dogs and 27 (20,8%) cats, and 59 orthopedic or neurological surgery, 53 (89,8%) canines and 6 (10,2%) felines. The most frequently affected system in each species varied according to the veterinary medical center.
