How do Vets Diagnosis Diseases?

• How to Diagnose a Disease
• First clinical signs that an animal presents are
  examined, this could be the result of many
  different diseases.
• Next they physically examine the sick animal. The
  vet considers a list of different diagnosis.
  (List includes all the diseases that may result
  in the clinical signs)
• Lastly, diagnostic tests will be performed.

How to determine a disease?

• Anomalies
• Trauma
• Infection
• Nutrition
• Toxin
• Neoplasm
• Metabolic

6
Metabolism

• Describes all processes occuring within the
  animal. This occurs when there is a disruption in
  this natural process.
• - Example Endorine diseases, diabetes,
  hypothyroidism, hyperadrenocorticism, milk fever,
  failure of organs (such as liver or kidney
  disrupting the metabolism)
• Treatments vary upon disease balancing active
  nutrients in the body is the most common treatment

7
Anomalies

• A genetic defect in small animals and is
  genetically inherited
• Clinical Signs may not be present at birth
• Example Six toes, short tail (cats), hemophilia,
  and two heads ext.
• Treatment surgery, in some cases the animal can
  live with it

9
Degenerative

• Degenerative disease is associated with aging. It
  occurs with the normal wear and tear that occurs
  to the body over the years
• Example Arthritis and Disk Disease are the two
  most common diseases
• The only treatment is medication

10
Trauma

• Trauma and toxic diseases can be some of the
  easiest to diagnose or treat
• Trauma often damages specific regions and the
  effect can be quite localized
• Examples- broken bone, being hit by a car, burn
  ext.
• Treatment varies upon trauma

12
Toxin

• Common cause of illness in animals.
• If the toxin is known a specific antidote or
  treatment can be administered
• Examples alcohol, chocolate, copper, lead, and
  nicotine
• Treatment induced vomiting for some cases, for
  other cases vomiting can be harmful in certain
  toxins. Activated charcoal is given orally to
  bind or absorb the toxin that still remains

13
Tumor

• Tumors can be benign or malignant
• Benign tumors are not harmful and dont spread
• Malignant tumors are harmful and can spread
• Treatment surgery and therapy

• All processes occurring within an animal

18
Question 3

• What is a metabolic disease?
• When there is a disruption in the natural process

19

20
Question 5

• How are degenerative diseases treated?
• Medication

21
Question 6

• Why is trauma easy to diagnose?
• Because it damages a specific region, and the
  effect is localized

22
Question 7

• What are some common toxins?
• Chocolate, alcohol, copper, lead, nicotine

23
Question 8

• How is an animal that has ingested a toxin
  treated?
• In some cases induced vomiting it can be harmful,
  activated charcoal

24
Question 9

• What is the difference between benign and
  malignant tumors?
• Benign are not harmful and dont spread while
  malignant tumors are harmful and can spread

  (list 3)
• Anomalies, trauma, infection, nutrition, toxin,
  neoplasm, metabolic
