What are the three aspects of "clinical examination"
- 1. The Animal
- 2. The environment
- 3. The history
-
Treat vs. NOT to treat(Decision tree)
- Value of patient(Survival, Salvage, Emotional attachment(companion))
- MULTIPLIED BYProbability of survival after treatment(%)
- MINUS
- Cost of the treatment(care/follow-up care)
- EQUALSNet present worth of the animal
-
What are the different systems that a disease may effect??
- Respiratory
- Cardiovascular
- Musculoskeletal
- Neurological
- Gastrointestinal
- Integument(SKIN)
- Endocrine/Metabolic
- Urogenital(Male/Female)
- Hematology(Blood)/Immunology
-
V.I.N.D.I.C.A.T.E K.I.T.T.E.N??????? OR DAMIT-V???
