Resumo
Os cães (Canis lupus familiaris) foram domesticados há milhares de anos, descendendo do lobo-cinza (Canis lupus). Ao longo desse processo, desenvolveram uma crescente relação com os seres humanos. Com o tempo, essa interação evoluiu para um vínculo afetivo, tornando-se um fator grave. À medida que os cães foram expostos ao estilo de vida das pessoas, impactou negativamente em seu bem-estar, desencadeando problemas comportamentais. Dentre esses, destaca-se a Síndrome da Ansiedade por Separação (SAS), na qual os cães acometidos pela condição manifestam comportamentos específicos após a ausência de sua figura de apego, sendo principalmente o tutor que tenha maior vínculo. Dessa forma, o diagnóstico deve levar em consideração informações detalhadas sobre o histórico do paciente, ambiente, além de exame físico e exames complementares, tendo em vista que a SAS possui sinais clínicos que podem ser facilmente confundidos com outras doenças. Existem vários tipos de tratamento, podendo ser através de terapia comportamental, medicamentosa e enriquecimento ambiental. Contudo, a fitoterapia vem sendo empregada no tratamento por meio da utilização de plantas medicinais. Estudos têm sido conduzidos com o objetivo de avaliar o uso de fitoterápicos no tratamento da SAS em cães, e essas análises obtiveram resultados promissores, demonstrando uma nova alternativa no manejo dessa patologia.
The dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) were domesticated thousands of years ago, descending from the gray wolf (Canis lupus). Throughout this process, they developed a growing relationship with humans. Over time, this interaction evolved into an emotional bond, becoming a significant factor. As dogs were exposed to the human lifestyle, it negatively impacted their well-being, leading to behavioral problems. Among these issues, Separation Anxiety Syndrome (SAS) stands out. In this condition, dogs exhibit specific behaviors after the absence of their attachment figure, typically the owner with whom they have a stronger bond. Therefore, the diagnosis must consider detailed information about the patient's history, environment, as well as physical examination and additional tests, given that SAS has clinical signs that can easily be confused with other diseases. Various types of treatment are available, including behavioral therapy, medication, and environmental enrichment. However, herbal medicine has been employed in treatment through the use of medicinal plants. Studies have been conducted to evaluate the use of these herbal remedies in the treatment of SAS in dogs, and these analyses have yielded promising results, demonstrating a new alternative in managing this condition.
