Perceção do proprietário sobre o impacto do tratamento anticonvulsivo em canídeos : estudo preliminar em Aveiro

Abstract

As convulsões representam a alteração neurológica mais comum, ocorrendo em 0,5 a 5,7% da população canina. A etiologia que, mais frequentemente conduz à sua manifestação é a epilepsia primária. Um aspeto importante, e que muitas vezes é negligenciado, é o impacto do tratamento realizado na qualidade de vida do cão e no quotidiano do dono. Em Medicina Veterinária existem poucos estudos do género e, não existindo uma uniformidade dos questionários realizados aos donos, é difícil fazer comparações entre estudos e tirar conclusões válidas. Foi feito um questionário com o intuito de avaliar a qualidade de vida de cães a realizarem tratamento para o controlo das convulsões. Do total de 27 donos contactados foi obtida uma taxa de resposta de 77,8%. A maioria afirmou que, manter a qualidade de vida dos seus animais, era o mais importante, seguido da redução do número de convulsões e das repercussões que a doença do seu cão causa no seu quotidiano. O custo foi um dos aspetos menos importantes no momento de iniciar o tratamento para o controlo das convulsões dos pacientes. Esta pesquisa tornou clara a necessidade de se desenvolverem conceitos e métodos universais de abordagem ao paciente com convulsões.

ABSTRACT - Seizures represent the most common neurological disorder, representing 0.5-5.7% of the canine population and the most frequent aetiology is primary epilepsy. However, treatment impact on life quality of dogs and owners is usually neglected. In Veterinary Medicine there are only scarce studies, which lack uniformity, and therefore their comparison becomes rather complicated. Questionnaires were presented to owners of 27 dogs under seizure management to evaluate their life quality and the response rate was 77.8%. According to their answers, the main concern was the dog’s welfare, followed by the reduction of seizure’s frequency and the impact on the owner’s life style. Cost was one of the least important aspects when initiating the treatment. This research has made clear the urge to develop universal concepts and methods on the approach to the patient with seizures.
