Good morning dedicated dog or cat owner..
As we approach the launch of Veterinary Secrets Revealed- The Complete Multimedia Home Study Course- I am answering the Top qestions and comments from my readers.
Today’s question: ” How can I tell if my Pet is Sick?”
Answer: My multimedia course will teach you how: in video, in print and in audio.
Determining if your pet is ill is based on performing an adequate physical exam.
Do not expect to be comfortable doing this in 1 day- but after 2 weeks of practice, then you will be quite skilled at performing a physical exam on your pet.
I go through every single part of the physical exam in my At Home Exam DVD.
Here are the Chapter Sections:
The entire exam video includes the examination of the following, by section:
???? Part 1 (Introduction): temperature, pulse and respiration
???? Part 2: eyes, ears and nose
???? Part 3: mouth, lymph nodes, larynx, thyroid glands
???? Part 4: skin, genital and urinary system
???? Part 5: musculoskeletal (muscles, bones and joints)
???? Part 6: gastrointestinal (covers vomiting and diarrhea)
???? Part 7: heart, lungs and trachea
???? Part 8: Blood pressure and pulse
This is a detailed 60 minute DVD.
I go through every portion of the physical exam, showing you exactly what to do.
After watching the video, you can Listen to the At Home Exam on the Audio
( Audio Disc 1)
Then you can hear about me explaining more detail on the Screen Capture Presentation CD ROM ( Volume 1)
And you can read about the specifics in the Pet Health Manual- Veterinary Secrets Revealed.
I include a physical exam worksheet – here you record your findings from the physical exam.
After recording your findings, you can then determine if your pet is sick.
Let’s use an example..
Lewis doesn’t seem himself- he chooses not to eat supper- very unusual for a Labrador!
I give him a physical exam.
I find on exam that he has a fever of 39.5 C ( 103 F)
His gums are a little dry or tacky.
He is uncomfortable when I palpate his stomach.
My findings.. Fever, Slight dehydration (5%), and painful abdomen
Differential Diagnosis.. Dietary Gastritis ( garbage Gut), pancreatitis, other infectious stomach diseases ( ie Salmonella, E.Coli)
My treatment:
No Food for 24 hours
Re-hydration- I offer him fresh water, if he won’t drink it, then I squirt it into his mouth with a syringe
Homeopathic- Nux Vomica- I give him 3 tabs of 30c dose
I would monitor him, then re-examine him the next day.
If it was garbage gut, then he would be much improved in 12 hours.
If he started to vomit profusely- ( more than 3 times, and repeated), then I would be concerned about something more serious like pancreatitis and take him to the clinic.
The next day I take his temperature- it is down to 38.5 ( 101.5) – Normal
He has No discomfort on palpating his belly.
He likely had a case of ” garbage gut” which resolved.
