Resumo
Diarreia define-se pelo aumento de frequência de defecação, de fluidez ou de volume
das fezes, tendo várias etiologias possíveis, há assim maiores dificuldades no alcance do
diagnóstico e no tratamento, logo um desafio para a clínica veterinária.
Com o objetivo de determinar a pertinência clínica da diarreia crónica em equinos adultos e espelhar a sua variedade etiológica, foram seleccionados casos de cavalos com
idade superior ou igual a 5 anos de idade com duração de diarreia igual a 15 ou mais dias,
atendidos no Hospital Veterinário da FMVZ-UNESP de Botucatu, Brasil, durante o período
de estágio curricular. Foi também aplicado um questionário em Portugal, através do Google docs à lista de contactos da Associação de Médicos Veterinários de Equinos Portuguesa, e adicionalmente a 58 contactos telefónicos disponíveis na revista Equisport online que
progrediram para o questionário por Google docs ou por registo em entrevista (Google
docs=20; Telefone=9).
Foram acompanhados cinco casos de diarreia crónica, dois devido ao uso de AINEs, uma doença inflamatória intestinal, uma diarreia bacteriana, e um dos casos sem
diagnóstico. Destes em dois (40%) foi necessário recorrer à eutanásia. O questionário
revelou uma média de 9 casos de diarreia por inquirido e de menos de um caso de diarreia crónica, no entanto cerca de 8% dos casos de diarreia eram diarreia crónica. A média de casos de diarreia crónica diagnosticados é inferior a um, sendo a média de recuperação
perto dos 4 casos por inquirido. A eutanásia tem uma média inferior a um caso. O parasitismo e a alimentação são as etiologias mais indicadas como causa de diarreia
crónica.
Esta dissertação reflete a variedade etiológica da diarreia crónica e a importância na
prática clinica veterinária.
