Resumo
A corrente dissertação, intitulada “Agressão no Cão”, refere, de uma forma abrangente, a
problemática da agressão no cão doméstico, Canis familiaris. Especificamente, e no domínio
de uma aplicação prática, este trabalho explana a agressão direcionada a outros cães.
A importância de aprofundar a questão da agressão entre cães está patente no quotidiano,
em que o risco do conflito agressivo entre animais que se encontrem em contacto é uma
realidade presente e incontornável.
Neste contexto, revela-se pertinente desenvolver os vários tópicos que representam os
objetivos desta tese: conceituar o comportamento agressivo canino, averiguar o
enquadramento da agressão canina em Portugal, conhecer os vários tipos de agressão e os
fatores de risco existentes na base do comportamento agressivo, reconhecer a importância
da anamnese e da história clínica no estabelecimento de um diagnóstico preciso, referir os
diferentes tipos de tratamento existentes para contrariar a recidiva do comportamento
agressivo, aludir à necessidade da prevenção de forma a impedir a eventualidade do episódio
agressivo, abordar as consequências passíveis de ocorrer para os cães envolvidos – no
seguimento de um conflito do foro agressivo entre cães – e para o Humano, e retratar a prática
da eutanásia no âmbito da agressão canina.
A aplicação prática desta temática decorreu da recolha e documentação de todos os casos
de agressão direcionada a outros cães, acompanhados no período de estágio curricular, no
Hospital Veterinário da Póvoa. Num total de 640 casos presenciados, foram 5 os casos
ocorridos e compilados no que concerne à temática em questão.
Foi possível testemunhar que a competência dos tutores no relato da história do caso é
sensivelmente reduzida e que, na generalidade, o mesmo é desprovido de objetividade.
Constatou-se que os animais presentes à consulta, vítimas de agressão de um ou mais
cães, representavam, na sua maioria, indivíduos machos e com raça determinada. Observouse
que as lesões ocorridas foram, essencialmente, lacerações de tecidos cutâneos e
musculares e, num domínio de gravidade superior, fratura de costelas e rutura traqueal.
Concluiu-se que o cerne desta dissertação traduz-se no diagnóstico conciso e precoce dos
casos de agressão efetivados e em privilegiar a profilaxia como a conduta essencial para
evitar o despoletar de conflitos do foro agressivo em cães prevenindo, assim, possíveis
sequelas e, inclusive, a morte dos animais, e até do Humano, na sequência da possibilidade
de um ataque agressivo.
The current dissertation, entitled "Aggression in the Dog", refers in a comprehensive way to the problem of aggression in the domestic dog, Canis familiaris. More specifically, and in a practical scope, this work explores the aggression directed at other dogs. The importance of deepening the question of aggression among dogs is evident in everyday life, in which the risk of aggressive conflict between animals that are in contact is a present and unavoidable reality. In this context, it is pertinent to develop the various topics that represent the objectives of this thesis: to conceptualize the aggressive canine behavior, to investigate the framework of canine aggression in Portugal, to know the various types of aggression and the existing risk factors on the basis of aggressive behavior, to recognize the importance of anamnesis and clinical history in the establishment of an accurate diagnosis, to refer the different types of existing treatments to counteract the relapse of aggressive behavior, allude to the need for prevention in order to suppress the eventuality of the aggressive episode, to address the consequences that may occur for dogs involved - following an aggressive dog conflict - and for the Human, and to portray the practice of euthanasia in the context of canine aggression. The practical application of this theme was the collection and documentation of all cases of aggression directed at other dogs, accompanied during the period of curricular internship, at the Veterinary Hospital of Póvoa. In a total of 640 cases witnessed, 5 were the occurred and compiled cases with regard to the subject in question. It was possible to testify that the competence of the tutors in the history of the case is appreciably reduced and that, in general, it is devoid of objectivity. It was verified that the animals present to the consultation, victims of aggression of one or more dogs, represented, for the most part, males with specific breed. It was observed that the lesions occurred were essentially lacerations of cutaneous and muscular tissues and, in a higher gravity domain, rib fracture and tracheal rupture. It was concluded that the core of this dissertation is the concise and early diagnosis of the cases of effected aggression and the privilege of prophylaxis as the essential conduct to avoid the triggering of aggressive nature conflicts in dogs, thus preventing possible sequels as the death of animals, or even of the Human, following the possibility of the ocurrence of the aggressive attack.
