Learning outcomes

The aim of the course "Clinical propedeutic of pet animals" is to familiarize students with the basic procedures of the physical exam in pet animals (dogs and cats). The course contains rules of safe handling of animals, assessment of history, clinical examination (body temperature, heart/respiratory rate, examination of skin and skin derivatives, lymph nodes, mucosal membranes and eyes, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, gastrointestinal, urogenital, neurological tract, musculoskeletal and endocrinal system), collection of biological samples (blood, urine, faeces and etc.), principles of drugs administration (intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous and others).
Theoretical knowledge: The student knows and can describe the clinical manifestations of the disease, can assess the importance of patient signalment and history in the diagnosis of the disease, knows the procedures of clinical examination (inspection, palpation, auscultation and percussion) and basic diagnostic approach to patients with symptoms of cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, urological, dermatological, endocrinological and oncological diseases. The student is able to describe how to prepare and keep medical records. He knows the basic methods of application of drugs and sampling for laboratory examination. Practical skills: He can safely manipulate and fix the patient during clinical examinations and when taking samples for laboratory examinations, he can interpret the basic results of laboratory examinations. The student is able to independently assess the condition and health of the patient. Under professional supervision, he can perform a basic clinical examination of dogs and cats and should be able to design a basic diagnostic procedure in connection with the clinical symptoms of diseases of individual organ systems. Competence: Treat animal patients safely and respectfully, be able to calm them down or be able to instruct others how to perform these techniques. Obtain an accurate and relevant history of the individual patient. Under professional supervision, perform basic clinical examinations of dogs and cats, critically interpret basic clinical and laboratory findings and, based on them, determine further diagnostic procedures. The competencies acquired by successful completion of the course are the basis for the development of other competencies of related clinical disciplines (General surgery and anesthesiology, Surgery and orthopedics of small animals I, II, Diseases of dogs and cats).
