Students learn the most common internal diseases of dogs and cats according to organ systems, learn to recognize the most common infectious (viral, bacterial, parasitic, fungal) and non-infectious diseases (metabolic, oncological, immune-mediated, etc.), including recommended diagnostic procedures and methods of treatment. The course also aims at preventive and prophylactic measures in pet breeding and the principles of access to a critical patient.
Theoretical knowledge The student knows the recommended vaccination schedules and antiparasitic programs in dogs and cats.

He knows the principles of therapy of the most common diseases of the organ systems, including examples of pharamceuticals and drugs used. He knows the most common zoonoses in dogs and cats, methods of their diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Can describe the basic principles of diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients, knows the methods of keeping medical records and other medical records. Practical skills The student is able to clinically examine the dog and cat independently and determine the basic diagnostic procedure. Can interpret the results of laboratory tests and findings of imaging methods. Under the supervision of a teacher, he masters basic neurological and dermatological examinations, can take blood samples, apply drugs, examine urine and perform rectal examinations. The student masters vaccination and antiparasitic programs in dogs and cats. The student is able to examine a cancer patient and determine the basic diagnostic procedure.
