Resumen
El presente documento es un informe de pasantía en dos centros veterinarios,
el Centro Médico Veterinario Martínez & Vargas y Hospital de Especies Menores y
Silvestres de la Escuela de Medicina Veterinaria de la Universidad Nacional, ambos
ubicados en la provincia de Heredia. La duración de la pasantía consistió en ocho
semanas, comprendidas entre el 11 de enero y el 19 de marzo de 2022, para un total
de 412 horas de asistencia.
Durante este periodo, se participó en el proceso de consulta, toma de muestras
e imágenes médicas, así como, asistencia en cirugía y anestesia tanto ortopédicas
como de tejidos blandos en ambos centros médicos.
Se atendió un total de 219 pacientes de diferentes especies, mayoritariamente
caninos (59%), seguido de animales exóticos de compañía (26%) y en menor cantidad
felinos (15%). Representados en similar proporción de hembras y machos, castrados
o sin castrar, 50.2% y 49.8% respectivamente. El principal motivo de consulta en el
HEMS se asoció a la cirugía de tejidos blandos, mientras que en el CMVM&V el
principal motivo fue la medicina preventiva. Un 83% de los pacientes requirió
tratamiento médico y un 17% tratamiento quirúrgico.
Adicionalmente, se realiza un reporte de caso correspondiente a una Trachemys
scripta scripta conocida como tortuga de oreja amarilla, un animal exótico de
compañía, que presentó una afección fúngica generalizada a nivel del caparazón,
también conocida como “Caparazón podrido”.
This document is an internship report for two veterinary centers, the Martínez y Vargas Veterinary Medical Center and the Hospital de Especies Menores y Silvestres of the Veterinary School Medicine of the National University, both located in the province of Heredia. The duration of the internship consisted of eight weeks, from January 11 to March 19, 2022, for a total of 412 hours of assistance. During this period, the student participated in the consultation process, made use of medical images and sample taking, as well as helping in surgery and anesthesia for orthopedic and soft tissue surgeries. This took place in both medical centers. A total of 219 patients of different species were treated, mostly canines (59%), followed by exotic companion animals (26%) and, to a lesser extent, felines (15%). These patients were represented in a similar proportion of females and males, fixed/spayed or not, 50.2% and 49.8% respectively. The main reason for consultation in the HEMS was associated with soft tissue surgery, while in the CMVM&V the main reason was preventive medicine. 83% of the patients required medical treatment and 17% surgical treatment. Additionally, a case report is made corresponding to one Trachemys scripta scripta, also known as yellow-bellied slider, an exotic companion animal which presented a fungal condition at a generalized level of the shell, also known as “Shell rot´´
