Relatório de Estágio Supervisionado Obrigatório (ESO): o papel do estresse na medicina felina: um novo olhar sobre a síndrome de Pandora

Abstract

To attain the graduation in Veterinary Medicine at UFRPE, the supervised internship was fulfilled at the feline veterinary office SEMEFEL, under the supervision of the veterinarians Lirêda Drechsler and Samara Viana. This Final Paper presents 2 chapters, the first being a local and casuistry introduction, with a brief explanation about casuistry, highlighting relevant issues of the clinical routine. The second chapter presents a literature revision about stress repercussion in feline medicine, presenting a current view of the Pandora Syndrom, as a systemic and more comprehensive than the ocurrency of inflamatory cystitis (interstitial). During the fulfillment of the internship the behavior issues and psychogenic diseases had a high incidence at the casuistry statistics, caused by fear, anxiety and chronic and acute stress; It was verified the importance of the feline specialist in transmiting to the cat owners the knowledge about ambient structuring, resources, eating and routine, with the goal of increasing wellfare. For this reason, we approach the Pandora Syndrom as a psychoneuroimmunoendocrine disease with systemic comorbities, treating the interstitial cystitis as one of its consequences. Synthetically, the Pandora Syndrom is seen as a multifactorial disease due to the sum of epigenetic factors and a sensitized CTRS (central threat response system) on the feline in an environment with stress triggers. Within this context, this study presents fundamental concepts and guidelines for the analysis and diagnosis of this syndrome as well as for its prevention based on strategies of multimodal environmental modification and cognitive-behavioral therapy, which can guide the clinician in face of a pandorized cat.
