Document Summary
Lecture 19 companion animal health and disease. Look at the changes in behaviour, posture or habits. Historical information can be identified by the person who takes care of the animal daily. Panting should not be observed in cats when they are at home (comfortable environment) Ask main questions: because sometimes people forget to mention things when they go to the vet, because they think it is not important. Other clients will try to give too much information and then it is hard to determine what is relevant to find out what is wrong with the animal. Behavioural changes are the most important signs of disease. Pu/pd -> polyuria (pee a lot) and polydipsia (drink a lot) It is important to check the mucous membranes (they have to be light pink, not too white) Crt -> when you press on the skin and then it becomes whitish because the blood leaves that part.
