Q

General impression: consciousness and behaviour (general demeanor) 1

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Bright, alert- normal response to ext stimuli
  2. Dull, apathy- retarded response to ext stimuli
  3. Sopor- sleepiness
  4. Stupor- extreme delay in response to ext stimuli
  5. Coma- Unconsciousness, does not respond to even painful stimuli
20
Q

General impression: consciousness and behaviour (general demeanor) 2

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Nervous, tense- increased response to ext stimuli. Alert, but normal movement
  2. Restlessness- constant movement, usually caused by pain
  3. Mania- compulsive abnormal behaviour, vigorous licking and head pressing

23
Q

General impression: Posture if standing

Study These Flashcards
A

Weight bearing equally on all legs

Legs not over or under extended

24
Q

General impression: Posture- spinal column

Study These Flashcards
A

Arched, sagging- kyphosis, lordosis, scoliosis
Abduction of elbows
Stiff, extended neck

Lying on sternum/ side/ recumbent
Sitting position

25
General impression: Locomotion/ Gait
Lameness, stilted gait, exaggerated flexion, stumbling, goose-stepping- could indicate meningitis/ ataxia Frequency: constant, intermittent or increased with exercise
26
General impression- obvious abnormalities | of spinal cord?
Lordosis- upwards Kyphosis- downwards "Praying " position- chronic pain e.g pancreatitis
27
What are the basic clinical values
Temperature Heart rate Breathing rate/ minute
28
Normal temp in the dog
38.2- 39.1
29
Normal temp in cats
38.5-39.3
30
Normal heart rate/ pulse
Consider: at clinic the animal is more nervous
31
Pulse in dogs in the clinic vs at home
Clinic: 60-70 --- 140(180) | At home: 60--70
32
Pulse in cats in the clinic vs at home
Clinic: 140 --- 180 (200) | At home: 120--130
33
Breathing rate/ minute
Clinic: <40 At home: <30 Sleeping: <25
34
What increases temp?
Sun, work, excitement, feeding, heating Fever, inflamm, abnormalities of heat centre Unregulated hyperthermia- heat stroke, uncontrolled muscle contraction (maybe in seizures?)
35
What decreases temp?
``` Cooling Few days before calving Exhaustion Cachexia Opened anus Hypovolaemic shock Barbiturate toxicosis ``` *changes in temp depend on species, breed, age, sex, condition NOT SIZE!
36
What factors influence pulse?
Species, breed, temperment, excitement, age, sex, training
37
Where do we take the pulse?
The A femoralis medial thigh
38
Increase of breathing rate per minute
``` Tachypnoea, polypnea Fever Narrowing/ Obstruction of airways Decreased breathing surface Obstruction of diaphragm Painful systemic disease Central nervous irritation- encephalitis, epilepsy Decreased O2 of blood- anemia, CO toxicosis ```
39
Tachypnoea, polypnea: narrowing/ obstruction of airways
``` Inflamm FB Larynx paralysis Edema Tracheal hypoplasia or collapse Neoplasm Bronchitis ```
40
