During veterinary consultations, the veterinarian performs a series of essential procedures to assess your pet's health. These procedures include:
- Inspection: The veterinarian examines the animal to identify any visible signs of illness or health issues.
- Palpation: By palpating, the veterinarian explores the animal’s body to detect swelling, painful areas, or other abnormalities.
- Percussion: This technique involves gently tapping on the animal’s body to assess the consistency and resonance of internal organs.
- Auscultation: The veterinarian uses a stethoscope to listen to sounds produced by the heart, lungs, and other organs.
- Body temperature assessment: Measuring temperature is an important part of the consultation. Normal temperature depends on various factors.
- Evaluation of other clinical signs: This step includes checking vital signs such as pulse, respiration, skin condition, and mucous membranes.
