O presente relatório teve como base o estágio curricular no Hospital Veterinário Central, sob a orientação da Professora Cristina Queiroga, e coorientação do Dr. Nuno Paixão. Na primeira parte deste documento são relatadas as atividades desenvolvidas durante o estágio curricular, abrangendo várias áreas de especialidade clínica, em medicina de animais de companhia. A segunda parte do documento consiste numa revisão bibliográfica sobre transfusões sanguíneas, onde são abordados vários pontos, seguida da apresentação e discussão de um estudo sobre as transfusões sanguíneas realizadas no Hospital Veterinário Central, no período de 1 de janeiro de 2012 a 28 de fevereiro de 2013. O estudo tem como objetivos a avaliação da variação do hematócrito, frequência cardíaca e respiratória, coloração das mucosas, temperatura retal, pressões sanguíneas e atitude, em intervalos de tempo estipulados. Outro objetivo do presente estudo, é determinar a prevalência de reações transfusionais adversas e a taxa de sobrevivência dos animais submetidos a transfusão, e avaliar, através de testes estatísticos, se existe associação entre as várias variáveis em estudo; ### ABSTRACT: Blood transfusions in dogs and cats: indications and transfusion reactions This report is based on the internship accomplished in Hospital Veterinário Central, under the orientation of Dr. Cristina Queiroga and co-orientation of Dr. Nuno Paixão. The first part of this report describes the activities undertaken during a traineeship in several areas of clinical specialty, in small animal medicine. The second part of this document consists of a literature review on blood transfusions, which addresses several points, followed by a presentation and discussion of a study of blood transfusions performed at Hospital Veterinário Central, during the period of 1 January 2012 and 28 February 2013. The study aims at assessing the changes in hematocrit, heart and respiratory rate, mucous membrane coloration, retal temperature, blood pressures and attitude, at prescribed time intervals. Another objective of the present study is to determine the prevalence of adverse transfusion reactions and the survival rate of animals subjected to transfusion, and evaluate, through statistical tests, whether an association exists between the different variables under study.

Due to economical and scientific limitations, sheep embryo reproductive technologies are less commercially applied than in other animal species. However, it is very clear that, in the near future, those techniques are expected to have a central role in animal production as a consequence of genetic and reproductive demands. One drawback is that results obtained after sheep embryo cryopreservation are unattractive for commercial purposes. It is expected that a successful cryopreservation of sheep embryos can push forward all other reproductive biotechnologies in this species, such as multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET), artificial insemination, or in vitro production of embryos. This paper tries to discuss the current and future perspectives of cryopreservation of in vivo- and in vitro-produced sheep embryos concerning advantages and limitations for its practical use and possible solutions for improving methods to allow a higher survival rate of cryopreserved embryos.
