  2. Preliminary Examination Species Breed Age Sex

  3. Physical condition/ General appearance: Normal Obese

  4. Poor/Lean : Emaciated Cachectic Hide bound

  5. Demeanour/Behaviour: Normal Abnormal Increased Response Apathy Dummy syndrome Coma Restlessness Mania Frenzy

  6. Posture: Kyphosis Lordosis Scoliosis Dog sitting posture Circling gait

  7. Saw horse posture Lateral kink Frog like posture Torticollis Abducted elbow with extension of head and neck

  8. Gait: Wobbing gait/Lamenesss Stiffgait Goose stepping gait High stepping gait Sway back

  9. Circling gait VOICE Eating process: organ of prehension Action is altered in conditions like FMD, Actinobacillosis

  10. Defaecation: Well set Loose Watery Tarry coloured Blood tinged

  11. Urination: Polyuria– increased qnty & frequency Oliguria–-- Decreased qnty Anuria--- Cessation Dysuria--- Difficulty Pyuria-- Pus

  12. Haematuria Haemaglobinuria Myoglobinuria: Eg., equine azotemia Urinary incontenance: continuous dribbling

  13. Skin and coat condition: Epitheliogenesis imperfecta

  14. Hyperkeratosis Acanthosis nigrans

  15. Vitiligo Seborrhoea sicca: Abnormal dry scales Seborrhoea oleosa: abnormal desquamation

  16. Hypotrichosis Parakeratosis Alopecia

  17. General Clinical Examination Temperature: Per rectum

  18. Simple fever : variation less than 2o F Continuous fever: plateau remains prolonged Remittent fever: No normal in 24hrs , variation > 2o F Intermittent fever: raise only for few hrs Recurrent fever: non febrile phase longer than remittent Atypical fever : No sequence

  19. Pulse: Dog/Sheep/Goat---- Femoral artery Cattle------ Middle Coccygeal artery External maxillary artery Horse----- External maxillary artery Median artery in fore leg Greater meta tarsal artery Pig/Rabbit/Poultry---- Direct palpation of heart

  20. Pulse rate: no. of beats/min. Rhythm - regular :pulse waves with identical interval - irregular: varied interval Quality/Amplitude force with which the beat rebounds the finger tip

  21. Sluggish pulse: more time • Small and weak pulse: feeble pulse • Soft pulse: pulse poorly developed • Unequal pulse: wave varies in amplitude • Asymmetrical pulse: variation on two sides • wiry pulse: Brief, small and hard • Thready pulse: small , weak and prolonged. • Strong bounding pulse: Wave amplitude high

  22. Respiration: Back of your palm infront of animals nostrils Animal in standing Rate , rhythm , amplitude

  23. Bronchial sounds Vesicular sounds • Types: Abdominal Costal Costo abdominal • Depth: Eupnoea Hyperpnoea Oligopnoea Polypnoea

  24. Hypoxia: Ambient hypoxia: oxygen tension decreased Anemic hypoxia: unfit volume of blood Histotoxic hypoxia: eg., cyanide poisoning Anoxic hypoxia: Defective oxygenation of blood

  25. Dyspnoea: Expiratory dyspnoea: prolonged and forceful expiration Inspiratory dyspnoea: prolonged and forceful inspiration Intermediate dyspnoea: difficulty in inhalation or exhalation.

  26. Visible mucous membranes: Conjuctival , nasal, Vaginal, Urethral and Rectal mucous membranes. Indicator of peripheral vascular system

  27. Congested Pale Icteric Cyanotic
