lateral thoracic v. jugular v cephalic saphenous (needle toward heart)
catheter locations SA
lateral saphenous (dog)
Medial saphenous (cat)
Jugular
auricular
arterial access SA
dorsal metatarsal a.
abdomniocentesis - sa
1 cm cranial the umbilicus off midline. 22G needle
abdominocentesis- equine
1-2 in caudal to xyphoid process right of midline. 18 G 1.5’’
Core Vaccinations- canine
Canine Distemper V (every 3-4 wks; between 6-16wk)
Canine parvovirus -2
Canine Adeno virus
Rabies (no earlier than 12wk)
Core Vx- Feline
Feline Panleukopenia
Feline Herpes
Feline Calicivirus
(every 3-4 wks; between 6-16wk)
Canine/ Feline Parasiticide
Heartworm; Flea; Tick; Round worms; Tape worms; whip worms; hook worms.
Puppies: Every 2 weeks until 3 months of age.
• Once/month from 3 to 6 months of age.
• Four time/year after 6 months of age.
Adults: Treat regularly considering potential exposure to parasites and prepatent periods.
Tapetal reflex using transilluminator
Stand 5-6 feet away from the dog’s eyes
Move eyes slightly lower than patient/ put dog on table; Shine transilluminator/penlight at dog’s pupil. Moving light from one pupil to another allows you to assess pupil size and symmetry.
a + tapetal reflex indicates
cornea, anterior chamber and lens are clear and that the retina is likely intact. DO IN DIM LIGHT!
if a dog has assymetric pupils how do you determine which is normal
if a miotic pupil does not dilate in darkness, it is abnormal
if a dilated pupil does not constrict under light stimulation it is abnormal
Menace Response
(CN II & VII; orbicularis oculi muscle) Blink is considered positive
Palpebral reflex
(CN V & VII)
Vestibulo-ocular (oculocephalic) reflex
(CN III, IV, VI, & VIII) move the head from side to side until you see nystagmus; when the motion stops the nystagmus stops. Then move head upwards and downwards to elicit veritical nystagmus
Pupillary Light Reflex: direct & consensual
(CN II & parasympathetic fibers of CN III; retina, iris constrictor/sphincter muscle, mid-brain)
Direct:in the eye the light is shown
indirect: the other eye
Dazzle Reflex
(CN II, VII, retina, rostral colliculus)
Shine a bright light in the eye- An involuntary aversion such as a blink, head/neck turn, or globe retraction is considered positive and
normal response in the visual patient
Maze Test
To asses blindness. Do in light and dark; tape over one eye
Schimer Tear Test
measurement of aqueous tear production
normal >15mm/min
Normal IOP
10-25 mm Hg
> 25mm Hg intraocular pressure
excessive restraint (pressure around head/neck), jugular occlusion, pushing on globe, glaucoma
uveitis. Decreased aqueous production due to inflammation
Equine physical exam: distance exam be sure to _____.
Observe respiratory patterns from a distance prior to interacting with the horse.
Never stand ______ of a horse
directly in front or behind of. Exc: equine stocks
Equine: evaluating head
Start at nares; asses color; moisture; airflow;
MM/CRT; (dentition- leave for end of exam)
Sinus evaluation: maxillary; left and right frontal
Eyes: determine lid tone by opening eyes; cornea; conjunctiva etc. menace; PLRs are slow in equine.
Ears: palpate external and internal pinna
Pupil in the horse
horizontal oval
corpora nigrins
dorsal or ventral proliferations of the iris into the pupil
palpable arteries of the face (equine)
transverse facial a.
facial a.
(also good loc for arterial blood draws)
HR equine
28-44 beat/min
palapable LN (equine)
submandibular (intermandibular surface mid mandible) Should be
Equine: evaluation of neck
- laryngeal palpation (hold both hands straight up 6in apart in throat latch region) “box like” feel. Dorsal surface / finger tips can evaluate arytenoids. Looking for laryngeal symmetry. squeezing may elicit cough.
- Palpate and squeeze trachea
- evaluate Jugular furrow
- asses dehydration (skin tent
Jugular vein assesment; normal filling time
Hold off in distal 1/3 of neck; less than 30-60 sec
Strum vein to asses wall
Causes of jugular pulse
physiologic- no proximal than middle/ distal 1/3 of neck.
pathologic
Heart auscultation Horse; audible heart sounds; most common physiologic arrythmia; most common physiologic MUMUR
PAM; 3rd, 4th, 5th (left side) Apex beat (5th lower than mitral valve) Tricuspid 4th ICS (right side)
2-4 audible (bah-lub-dub-ah) S4-S1-S2-S3
mobitz 1 2nd degree av block (wenkebach)
grade 3 left heart base systolic ejection murmur
equine RR
8-20 bpm
equine: upper airway sounds can be heard
at nostril; over trachea
types of breath sounds
bronchiol: generated at trachea/large broncus loud/harsh. Insp louder (hilus/ trachea)
bronchovesicular: softer; softer exp (hilus)
vesicular: softer (lung periphery)
In general: greater sounds more ventrally than dorsally, more cranially than caudally
When releasing horse in the stall NEVER
have the horse between you and the door
what is auscultated in the RD quadrant of the horse
Cecum (2-3 contraction/1-2 min)
Left Dorsal Quadrant?
small colon; small intestine
Ventral Quadrants?
Large Colon
Equine Normal Temp
99-101 F
Clinical evaluation of the respiratory tract involves
depth (ventilation), frequency (rate) , character (effort)
Thoracocentesis Location
pnuemothorax- 7th and 9th ICS dorsal 1/3
Fluid- 7th and 8th ICS ventral 1/3
AVOID: Internal thoracic artery (near costo chondral junc)
S1 is asso with
closure of AV valves
