CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS

A nutrição baseada nas características do cão é fundamental para a manutenção da saúde. Diante disso, o profissional deve avaliar e recomendar nutrição adequada para todos os pacientes. As ferramentas utilizadas para a avaliação nutricional, como o ECC, podem não se enquadrar adequadamente para algumas raças, como os Whippets, ocorrendo a subestimação da quantidade de gordura nesses animais, e com isso a instituição do tratamento incorreto. É necessário o desenvolvimento de ferramenta específica para esses animais. O perfil sanguíneo dos Whippets apresenta diferença quando comparado com os valores de referencia utilizado para cães, esse é outro fator que pode levar ao erro na avaliação desses animais.
