The purpose of this report is to describe the activities carried out during the Supervised
Curricular Internship, fully held in the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of
Piauí, from March 13th to May 26th, 2017, totalizing 400 hours. The activities developed
were in the area of Medical and Surgical Clinic of small animals under the guidance of
Professor Dr. Tiago Barbalho Lima and under the local supervision of the Veterinary
resident Andressa Kelly Barbosa Rufino. During the internship period, 179 medical
clinic cases and 81 surgical procedures were followed in the small animal sector of the
hospital. This work includes the activities carried out during the internship period, which
include assistance to residents in performing ambulatory, surgical and emergency
procedures, and monitoring and evolution of patients within the hospitalization unit.
The data related to the technical activities developed and to the cases followed are
organized in the form of tables and graphs. A case of a dog presenting
megaesophagus secondary to a vascular ring anomaly (possible persistence of the
fourth right aortic arch) associated with lateral patellar luxation will also be reported
and discussed. The recommended clinical management for the first condition involved
feeding in an erect position; however, its application was not possible due to the
presence of the patellar luxation, making its surgical correction indispensable for the
correct treatment of the conditions.
