RESUMO:

Canine cognitive dysfunction (DCC) is to change the behavior and learning related to pathological aging. DCC signals that normally appear from 8 years of age, are: disorientation, decreased or changes in social-environmental interactions, changes in sleep-wake cycle, prejudice in toilet training and other routine activities, as well as increased anxiety. The increase in the life expectancy of dogs and consequently the highest incidence of the disease, new approaches to clinical and laboratory diagnosis as well as treatment alternatives were sought. This dissertation proposes acupuncture as a treatment for DCC, having your effect evaluated by scores obtained in questionnaires and diagnostic enzymes dosage cholinesterases (ChE) and catalase. Canines with 8 or more years of age with symptoms that are compatible to the SDCC and from the State of Rio de Janeiro were evaluated clinically and their tutors answered two questionnaires diagnostics. These animals were submitted to blood collection for dosage of BChE, ChE, enzymes catalase and received treatment by acupuncture Yintang points, VG20, PC6, B23, E36 and 3R, for ten minutes, once a week for four weeks. New blood collection and reapplication of the questionnaires were filled by the end of the treatment. In the analysis of the questionnaires was verified a significant reduction of the clinical signs of disease (p = 0.0001). There was no correlation of enzymatic activities of enzymes BChE, ChE and catalase with the severity of clinical signs. In addition, there was no significant change in the activity of the enzymes studied before and after treatment. The clinical improvement of the treated animals makes the use of acupuncture in the treatment of DCC.
