Understanding shelter medicine

Abstract

RESUMO - Compreender a Medicina de Abrigos - A Medicina de Abrigos, considera todos os actos médicos e cirúrgicos realizados em populações de pequenos animais indigentes, reunidos num mesmo espaço físico. Embora seja um conceito novo, ela assume-se já como uma área emergente de especialização no universo da Medicina Veterinária. A sua origem teve por base, a tentativa de suprimir as dificuldades que os Médicos Veterinários de abrigos, encontravam no seu dia-a-dia para garantirem a sanidade de toda a comunidade de que eram responsáveis, garantindo a defesa e o bem-estar dos animais indigentes. A sua vasta aplicabilidade e exigência de saberes demonstram a necessidade do desenvolvimento de protocolos e de linhas orientadoras, cujos objectivos finais se expressarão na redução do número de eutanásias, numa melhoria do estado hígido e das condições higio-sanitárias dos animais que constituem a comunidade (abrigo) e por fim no aumento do número de animais adoptados. A tese objectiva apresentar e aproximar o leitor a este novo ramo das Ciências Veterinárias – a Medicina dos Abrigos.

Shelter medicine is a small animal herd health discipline that is becoming an emerging area of specialization. This discipline rose from difficulties that shelter veterinarians face every day in local community shelters or supporting associations that protect the interests of animal well-being. The demands of veterinary health care when dogs, cats and other animals are housed together are so myriad, that demonstrates the necessity to establish protocols, standards, guidelines and the need to perform scientific investigations in shelter settings. Shelter Medicine also considers the demands of the community striving to find ways to reduce euthanasia and increasing the numbers of animals adopted. This thesis expects to describe the overall importance of Shelter Medicine and its main contents showing at the same time a practical evaluation application in a local Humane Society, in the USA, of the shelter medicine theoretical information available.
