Popis: Surgical procedures in pet animals are usually associated with some degree of stress and pain. Hospitalization is onestress-triggering factor. The present study aimed to evaluate the degree of stress and pain during hospitalization offemale dogs submitted to elective ovariohysterectomy (OVH) and to investigate the influence of hospitalization on thestress of these animals. Fifteen young adult crossbreed female dogs were divided into two groups: eight animals withoutsurgery (Group 1 - control) and seven animals submitted to surgery (Group 2 - OVH). Pain and stress were evaluated.Visual analogue scale (VAS), simple descriptive pain scale (SDS) and modified Glasgow pain scale (MGPS) were used.Serum cortisol (μg/dL) and glucose (mg/dl) were also measured. No statistical difference was observed for cortisol(μg/dL) between the two groups. Despite the absence of statistical difference between groups and times, mean serumcortisol (μg/dL) values exceeded the normal values for the canine species at various times evaluated. Hyperglycemiawas only observed at T4 in the OVH group. It was concluded that the hospitalization of animals was more relevant inthe establishment of stress than the surgical procedure and associated pain. The influence of stress was a relevant factorin the results of assessments carried out using the MGPS. Os procedimentos cirúrgicos em animais de companhia são geralmente associados a algum grau de dor e estresse ea hospitalização é um dos fatores que predispõem ao estresse. O presente estudo teve o objetivo de avaliar o grau deestresse e dor durante a internação de cadelas submetidas à ovariohisterectomia eletiva (OVH) e investigar a influência dahospitalização sobre o estresse nestes animais. Quinze cadelas adultas jovens e mestiças foram divididas em dois grupos:oito animais não submetidos à cirurgia (Grupo 1 - controle) e sete animais submetidos à OVH (Grupo 2 - OVH). Dore estresse foram avaliados. Foram utilizadas a escala visual analógica (EVA), escala descritiva simples (EDS) e escalade dor de Glasgow modificada (EDGM). A glicose (mg/dL) e o cortisol (μg/dL) séricos foram mensurados. Não houvediferença estatística do cortisol (μg/dL) entre os grupos. Entretanto, os valores médios de cortisol (μg/dL) excederamàqueles considerados normais para a espécie canina em vários períodos avaliados. A hiperglicemia foi observada emT4 no grupo OVH. Concluiu-se que a hospitalização dos animais foi mais relevante na ocorrência do estresse do que oprocedimento cirúrgico e a dor associada a ele. Desta forma, a influência do estresse foi um fator relevante nos resultadosdas avaliações realizadas com a escala de dor de Glasgow modificada.
