This report is the result of the Mandatory Supervised Internship in Veterinary Medicine in the Small Animal Clinical and Surgical Clinic area conducted at the Clínica Veterinária Arionaldo de Sá, located in Recife, from September 18, 2018 to December 7, 2018, as a partial completion requirement. With the objective of describing the casuistry followed and reporting a case of interest. During the internship period, it was possible to follow the activities of the general care routine, where a case of a dog with metabolic and systemic changes suggestive of hypothyroidism was selected. After clinical evaluation of the animal the suspicion of hypothyroidism was confirmed through the hormonal dosage of fT4, and hormone replacement therapy was prescribed as recommended in the literature. The Mandatory Supervised Internship in the chosen area proved to be an indispensable and very important moment for professional training, since it enabled the practice of the knowledge acquired during the course and the exchange of information and knowledge with experienced professionals.
