which of the following is the permanent data of the animal
Species; Breed; Sex; Colour; Colour pattern; Nose/muzzle impression; Blood group;
Marks – Whorls, blemishes or defects
what colour is the mucosa in case of hypovolaemic shock
dirty red
what to check when you inspect the testes
Location; Size; Shape; Structure; Surface; Painfulness; Symmetry; Movability;
Consistency; Cryptorchidism (should descend by 6 months of age → sertoli cell tumour)
LMN lesions signs
Diminished or absent reflexes; Decreased or absent tone
physical exam of the kidney
Enlarged kidney size is always associated with renal disease in cats; Painful kidney may
indicate acute disease, renal stone, or tumour.
common causes of kidney shrinkage
congenital renal dysplasia; end stage kidney disease; chronic pyelonephritis
what can B mode echocardiography show
DCM & HCM
what is a pathognomic symptom
Specific. Characteristic for a particular disease. Sign whose presence means that the
disease is present without any doubt
instruments needed for neurological exam
reflex hammer; penlight; arterial clamp; needle
what is anisocoria
unequal pupil size
what can be examined by the inspection of joints
skin; angle; swelling; deformities; symmetry
what are the methods of neurological examination
X-ray; EEG; CT; MRI; Blood count; Pathogen detection; CSF analysis
type of exam commonly carried out together with an ECG
phonocardiography (PCG) (heart sounds)
choose the correct statement
CT is an X-ray tube that rotates around the patient to obtain multiple images that are
then replayed to a computer that reconstructs the image
what is an election of the skin with fluid and volume under 1cm without epitheal surrounding
vesicle
what is part of status praesens
nutritional status; general impression
what is not part of status praesens
history
indications of tracheoscopy or bronchoscopy
Acute cough in cases of suspected foreign body; Chronic cough if the cause is unknown
or the patient doesn’t respond to therapy; Unexplained abnormal breathing pattern;
Tracheal collapse → Confirmation & staging; Chronic bronchitis → Staging & sample
collection; Stridor; Removal of mucoid obstruction in atelectatic lung lobes; Suspected
narrowing of the airway; Suspected metastatic pulmonary neoplasia; Haemoptoe
signs of conscious pain perception in the dog
crying; biting towards the examiner
indications for colonscopy
Large bowel diarrhoea; Haematochezia; Blood in faeces; Increased faecal mucous;
Tenesmus; Dyschezia; Palpable rectal masses
where does the basic value belong to
status praesens

what is transient data
age; body weight; brand marks; tattoos; micro- chips
what are the reduced mental statuses
dementia; stupor; indolentia (freedom from pain); somnolentia (sleepy/drowsy); delerium; coma
in dogs LSHF can lead to
dyspnoe; coughing; tachypnoea
when is RDW (red cell distribution width) elevated
regenerative anaemia
a papule is
small; solid elevation <1cm
acoustic impedance
density of product x acoustic velocity
in case of hepatopathy, AST is
sometimes increased; not liver specific; only used together with ALT; ‘useless’ is apparently the correct answer
in what condition would you hear a stronger heartbeat
Thin thoracic wall
what is ataxia
incoordination of movement
what is true about angiodema and urticaria
usually due to vaccination, blood transfusion or bee stings (allergic reaction)
how can you categorise the heart sounds by auscultation
FRIDA: frequency; rhythm; intensity; demarcation of heart sounds; adventitious murmur

Pollakiuria; Dysuria; Stranguria; Periuria; Haematuria
regarding its origin, a seizure can be
generalised; extracerebral
which are most specific symptoms to heart disease/ failure
murmur; arrhythmia’ dyspnoea
which are not indications for rhinoscopy
salivation; vomitus
what are indications for rhinoscopy
Sneezing; Reverse sneezing; Nasal discharge; Epistaxis; Facial swelling/distortion;
Suspicion of foreign body
which is a directly audible respiratory sound

obstruction
