Uso do decanoato de nandrolona e da alfaepoetina como adjuvantes na eritropoiese em gatos domésticos com anemia aplásica portadores da leucemia viral felina (FELV) - Relato de caso

Abstract

MSI – Mandatory Supervised Internship – consists of a mandatory subject of the Veterinary Medicine course at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, with a total workload of 420 hours. The main objective of ESO is to guarantee the student's prior experience in their area of interest, providing practical experience and deepening the theoretical knowledge acquired throughout the course. In this work, the experience acquired in the period from April 1, 2024 to June 14, 2024 will be detailed, being carried out in two parts. The first part was held at Gattos - Clinic Specialized in Feline Medicine, starting on the 1st of April and ending on the 2nd of May 2024. The second part was held at Chatterie - Exclusive Clinic for Felines, starting on the 6th of May and closing on June 14, 2024. In both clinics, the monitoring area was the domestic feline medical clinic, including monitoring consultations, surgeries, monitoring hospitalized patients and carrying out imaging and laboratory tests. This work aims to report the case of two feline patients (Felis catus domesticus) with feline viral leukemia, accompanied by V.P. Aline Soares Barbosa. The patient’s clinical condition presented a of non-regenerative anemia resulting from viral action in the bone marrow. The established protocol was weekly application of Epoetin Alfa 4000 IU/ml and Nandrolone Decanoate (Deca-durabolin) 1 mg/kg/IM. During the preparation and monitoring of the cases, both animals showed a good response to treatment and maintained the hematocrit and other parameters within the normal limit. It is concluded, therefore, the use of Nandrolone Decanoate associated with Epoetin Alfa was a good adjuvant for spinal cord stimulation, increasing erythrocyte levels, helping to resolve the anemic condition and improve the patients' clinical status.
