Resumen
Se realizó una pasantía en la clínica Veterinaria Vicovet, Sabanilla, San José,
Costa Rica, del 11 de enero al 19 de marzo de 2021, en la que se atendieron a 239
animales, de los cuales el 127 (52%) fueron caninos, 88 (36%) mascotas exóticas y 30
(12%) felinos. Esta experiencia permitió practicar el manejo adecuado durante la
sujeción química y física de especies domésticas y exóticas, donde se buscó reducir el
estrés mientras se realizaba del examen objetivo general, para identificar hallazgos
clínicos con el mínimo de alteración por la manipulación.
Se participó en los procesos de toma de muestras de 93 exámenes sanguíneos,
para realizar la interpretación de los resultados de hemogramas, perfiles bioquímicos,
entre otros, además de cinco raspados de piel para confirmar etiologías micóticas,
bacterianas y/o parasitarias causantes de enfermedades de piel, nueve exámenes
coproparasitológicos en casos de diarrea o control para desparasitación, diez muestras
de orina para urianálisis en busca de cistitis, cristales, entre otros, dos biopsias y diez
citologías para diagnosticar etiología de masas o diferenciar los tipos de células
involucradas. Por medio de la ejecución de la toma de muestras se reconoció la forma
adecuada para maximizar la utilidad de los resultados obtenidos.
Además, se presenció el procedimiento y la interpretación de 67 ultrasonidos y 44
radiografías, de esta forma se aprendió a diferenciar los hallazgos más importantes
para determinar si un órgano se encontraba afectado. A su vez, hubo participación en
41 tomografías computarizadas con cuatro extracciones de líquido cefalorraquídeo,
estas actividades mostraron la forma de correcta de seguir protocolos de
posicionamiento del paciente para obtener imágenes de calidad. Se identificaron 63 patologías en mascotas exóticas, como pequeños mamíferos
(lagomorfos, eulipotiflanos, roedores) reptiles (quelonios) y aves (psitácidas y
paseriformes). Las patologías más comunes fueron la hipomotilidad intestinal, la
maloclusión, sobrecrecimiento dental y pododermatitis, en la mayoría de los casos por
deficiencias en el manejo de dietas y recintos.

This experience made it possible to practice proper handling during the chemical and physical restraint of domestic and physical restraint of domestic and exotic species, where the aim was to reduce the stress while performing the while performing the general objective examination, in order to identify clinical findings with the minimum alteration clinical findings with the minimum of alteration due to handling. We participated in the sampling process of 93 blood tests, to interpret the results of hemograms, biochemical profiles, among others, in addition to five scrapings, among others, in addition to five skin scrapings to confirm mycotic, bacterial and/or parasitic etiologies, bacterial and/or parasitic etiologies that cause skin diseases, nine coproparasitological nine coproparasitological examinations in cases of diarrhea or control for deworming, ten urine samples for urinalysis in urine samples for urinalysis in search of cystitis, crystals, among others, two biopsies and ten cytological cytologies to diagnose etiology of masses or to differentiate the types of cells involved. cell types involved. Through the execution of sample collection, the appropriate way to maximize the usefulness of the maximize the usefulness of the results obtained. In addition, the procedure and interpretation of 67 ultrasounds and 44 radiographs were witnessed. radiographs, thus learning to differentiate the most important findings to determine if an organ was affected. to determine if an organ was affected. At the same time, there was participation in 41 CT scans with four cerebrospinal fluid extractions, these activities showed the correct way to follow protocols for patient positioning to obtain positioning of the patient to obtain quality images. Sixty-three pathologies were identified in exotic pets, such as small mammals (lagomorphs, eulipotiflanos, rodents), reptiles (chelonians) and birds (psittacidae and passerines). passerines). The most common pathologies were intestinal hypomotility, malocclusion, overgrowth, and malocclusion, dental overgrowth and pododermatitis, in most cases due to poor dietary deficiencies in the management of diets and enclosures.
