Resumen
Esta práctica dirigida se realizó en la Clínica Servicios Veterinarios San Francisco de Asís (CSVSA) y en el Laboratorio de Análisis Clínicos de la Escuela de Medicina Veterinaria, UNA (LACL), Costa Rica. La práctica tuvo una duración de 528 horas entre los meses de enero y abril de 2023. Durante este periodo se atendieron 112 casos de afecciones gastrointestinales (GI). Del total de consultas, 98 fueron consultas de caninos (87.50%) y 14 de felinos (12.50%). En los caninos hubo un mayor número de hembras, con un total de 51 pacientes (52%), mientras que se recibieron 47 pacientes machos (48%). En los felinos se presentó igual cantidad de hembras y machos (siete de cada género). Se recibieron 43 casos correspondientes a pacientes geriátricos (mayores de siete años) (38.39%), 39 casos de adultos (uno a seis años) (34.82%) y 30 casos de cachorros (menores de un año) (26.79%). Los diagnósticos GI que obtuvieron mayor cantidad de casos fueron el parvovirus canino con 12 casos (10.71%), seguido de los parásitos GI con 11 casos (9.82%) y la pancreatitis con nueve casos (8.04%). Por otra parte, en un porcentaje importante de los casos, no se logró dar un diagnóstico definitivo con 43 casos (38.39%). Los casos restantes que fueron 37 (33.04%), se clasificaron en una gran variedad de patologías GI y no GI. Los tratamientos implementados en los pacientes, en su mayoría fueron médicos con 95 casos (84.82%), seguidos de los médicos/quirúrgicos con 17 casos (15.18%). Los principales procedimientos quirúrgicos fueron biopsias y remociones de cuerpo extraño con cuatro casos cada uno (23.53%) y en tercer lugar se encontró la cirugía de masas en cavidad oral con tres casos (17.67%). En este informe final de la práctica dirigida se describe un caso clínico de especial interés, en una paciente felina de ocho meses, SRD, ya que se trata de peritonitis infecciosa felina (PIF) húmeda-seca, una enfermedad de diagnóstico complejo y actualmente sin un tratamiento eficaz disponible en el país.
Francisco de Asís and Laboratorio de Análisis Clínicos of the Veterinary Medicine School, Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica. A total of 528 hours were spent between months of February and April. During this period were attended 112 gastrointestinal (GI) cases, 98 were canine consultations (87.50%) and 14 feline consultations (12.50%). In canines there was a greater number of females, a total of 51 patients (52%), meanwhile, males were 47 patients (48%). In felines there was an equal number of males and females (seven of each gender). About the ages of the patients, 43 cases corresponded to geriatric (older than seven years) (38.39%), 39 cases to adults (between one-six years) (34.82%) and 30 cases to puppies (under the age of one) (26.79%). The GI diagnoses that accumulated the majority of cases were canine parvovirus with a total of 12 cases (10.71%), followed by GI parasites with 11 patients (9.82%) and pancreatitis with nine cases (8.04%). On the other hand, in a significant percentage of cases, a concrete diagnosis was not found, 43 cases (38.39%). The remaining consultations, 37 (33.04%), were classified into a variety of GI and non-GI pathologies. The treatments implemented in the patients were medical with 95 cases (84.82%), followed by medical/surgical which were 17 cases (15.18%). The main surgical procedures were biopsies and foreign body removals, four cases each (23.53%) and in third place, surgery of masses in the oral cavity with three cases (17.67%). This final report of the directed practice describes a clinical case of an eight- month-old feline patient, undefined race, that presented a wet-dry feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a disease with a complex diagnosis and currently without an effective and available treatment in the country.
