Animal Exams in Naples |
Physical examination is a very important part of the
veterinary visit. A veterinary technician takes the patients weight and
temperature. Heart rate and respiration are noted, followed by the Dr.
completing a complete examination of the eyes, ears, mouth and nose as well as
the legs, joints, and body. Systems and organs are palpated externally. The Dr.
notes any abnormalities, and considers the patient's history to develop a plan
for diagnostics and treatment. Full physical exams should be performed at an
annual vaccine appointment to confirm your pet's health. Routine blood work as a
part of a yearly veterinary visit can diagnose early changes that may indicate
liver or kidney disease. Other than routine physical examination, consultation
on some esthetic procedures is required. Oftentimes a consultation over a
medical or behavioral problem can uncover something previously unconsidered. The
veterinary medical consultation includes a review of the laboratory results and
medical records as well as a full physical examination and projected treatment
consultation. |
