Resumen
Se realizó una pasantía de 320 horas, repartidas equitativamente entre el
Hospital de Especies Menores y Silvestres (HEMS), ubicado en la Escuela de Medicina
Veterinaria en el Campus Benjamín Núñez, Lagunilla, Heredia, y la Clínica Veterinaria
Innovavet (CIn), ubicada en el distrito central de Heredia. Esto con la finalidad de
fortalecer las destrezas en el área de medicina interna y cirugía de tejidos blandos.
Durante la pasantía se atendieron 178 pacientes en consultas de medicina
interna, de los cuales 165 (92.6%) fueron caninos y 13 (7.3%) fueron felinos. En ambos
centros el principal motivo de consulta fueron problemas gastrointestinales (28%),
seguido de ortopedia (13.4%) y medicina preventiva (9.5%).
Se participó en la realización e interpretación de 101 pruebas complementarias.
Se realizaron 37 ultrasonidos, 32 radiografías y 24 hemogramas y químicas
sanguíneas, entre otros.
Se realizaron 60 procedimientos quirúrgicos en 54 pacientes, los cuales fueron
49 caninos y cinco felinos. El sistema más comúnmente intervenido en el HEMS fue el
tegumentario, abarcando un 24.1% de las cirugías realizas en ese centro, mientras
que el más común en la CIn fue el reproductivo (55.1%).
