Vet Surgery: Gastrointestinal T

Using an orogastric tube is generally a safe, cheap, and simple procedure as long as it is done correctly. You would need a stomach tube in order to administer medication or food to an inappetent patient. It can also be used when a pet needs decompression or removal of gastric contents. Another use would be to administer radiographic contrast media for stomach of intestinal contrast radiography also known as a barium series.

Veterinary Technicians should expect to work long hours, associate with animals, and communicate with owners and staff. Clinics and veterinary hospitals are typically open 24/7, therefore technicians are expected to work weekends, holidays and evenings. Options of work environment include private practices, zoos, laboratories, kennels and animal shelters (“Technician Summary” 2014). Becoming a technician is emotionally and physically demanding. On a daily basis, technicians administer first aid care to recovering or injured animals, as well as observing the condition and behavior of animals. Administering anesthesia, collecting blood and urine samples, and preparing animals for survey are daily tasks. Technicians perform x

The duties in the lab are a lot more hands on with the pet. The first step is to ask questions to the owner about the reason for the visit. Also ask questions on the history of the pet to see if there are any other problems or concerns. As the vet tech talks to the owner they will check the weight, temperature and other details that are need for the exam. (Veterinary Technician Job Description (2014). The vet techs will also administer medications to the pets. So while doing this they will also show the owner the best and proper ways and times to administer there medications to their pets. This is also the perfect time to check the records of the pet and see what vaccines are needed. It is also important to give the owner some brochures on different vitamins and other special offers like teeth cleanings, flea control, hart worms and toe trimmings that would make the pet healthier and happier. (Veterinary Technician Job Description (2014). After the veterinarian has finished his exam and there are Surgical requirements the pet will be sent to the surgical

This operation requires 3 to 5 small incisions be made in your lower stomach. A medical laparoscope is an instrument with a slender tube and an attached camera that the surgeon puts into one of the incisions in order to see where the damaged area is located. Your stomach is filled with gas so that the surgeon has a good view of the area where he will be working. One larger cut may be required if the surgeon needs to put a hand inside of the stomach to help remove the colon. It is not unusual to remove some lymph nodes while removing the damaged areas. The incisions will be closed with stitches or staples.

All students are different. Some learn fast, some take their time. Some are extreme hard workers while some prefer to be a bit more laid back. Finally some, since it was in the directions, are brutally honest. My paper will try to resemble that honesty. It’s common knowledge that you, as the teacher reading this, have millions of other papers to read, and one cannot begin to truly elaborate on who they truly are without going way past the 2 page limit. I hope that you will still take me, my aspirations, values and opinions seriously even though I am ‘too young to know anything’. All students are different, but I can only do my work as a student to answer your questions with the best of my ability and give you a glimpse into who I am as a student.

Opening up the stomach is called laparotomy. This test can also be done laproscopically where they use cameras to look at the organs. This is less invasive than the laparotomy. (Ignatavicius & Workman, (2016) pg. 1171). A CT of the abdomen and pelvis may also be done. This is much like an x-ray but the CT will show more detail. Cross sectional images are taken of the abdomen and pelvis, which gives a better view because these images can see through the organs. These images are very accurate, can produce 3D images, and can be looked at in multiple planes. (Pagana, T. (2014) pg. 1021)

Since a full bladder is the most common cause, check the urinary drainage system. If you have a Foley or suprapubic catheter, check the following:

• Endoscopy. This is a procedure to look into your stomach using a thin, flexible tube that has a tiny camera and light on the end of it.

The causes of renal dysplasia aren’t well-understood. Some dogs with renal dysplasia will never display any symptoms of the disease. When symptoms do occur, they usually aren’t very specific and may include “urinary abnormalities, failure to have normal heat cycles, appetite and weight loss, stunted growth, pale mucous membranes, dull dry hair coat, poor body condition, weakness, lethargy, depression, vomiting, diarrhea, oral ulcers, bad breath and pain” (Renal Dysplasia in Dogs: Abnormal Kidney Development). If dog is exhibiting any of these symptoms, then an owner should seek a veterinarian to examine their dog. Dogs born with abnormal kidneys may develop a numerous amount of nonspecific clinical signs; or they may not exhibit any symptoms at all. These can be diagnosed by “a thorough physical examination and a complete history from the owner of the dog’s health, diet, living conditions, immunization status and other pertinent subjects” (Renal Dysplasia in Dogs: Abnormal Kidney Development). A veterinarian will probably recommend is an initial database that includes drawing blood samples for a complete blood count and serum biochemistry profile to test renal function (Canine Renal Dysplasia). The veterinarian may also suggest a urine test to check for a UTI. Ultimately, the only way to confirm and diagnose renal dysplasia is to take tissue biopsies from both of the dog’s kidneys and submit

You touched on many of the dilemmas that we faces with antibiotic over-use, but not doing anything is not an option, although we may feel it is, since the over-use of antibiotic has been an ongoing battle. I get it that the farmers may have to do some things that are not morally correct to ensure their livelihood, but their actions along with the veterinarian and the pharmacist is affecting more than a handful of people. This is a local, international and global problem. The farmers may be able to make contributions toward decreasing the use of antibiotics by not having animals living in crowded unsanitary quarters. This will help cut down on diseases and the need for antibiotics to treat such a large scale of animals. We know from

The surgical treatment for the diseases related to the gall bladder, liver, pancreas as well as oesophagus, stomach and small bowel that is the upper gastrointestinal tract) is known as the GI surgery. It is performed under the care of the general surgeon who has a specialist interest in upper gastrointestinal surgery. The conditions treated are many and varied; they often require the assistance of gastroenterologists and specialist nurses who boast specialization in the cancer care and inflammatory bowel

     Luckily, after the excruciating occurrence, the stone usually doesn’t damage anything. Sometimes there comes a situation where the kidney stone either becomes too big or for some reason gets wedged in the urinary tract and the pain worsens. Also, the urine begins to get backed up, and the bladder and urinary tract begins to get infected. Thus, an operation must be performed. Originally, they were removed, either by slicing the bladder or kidney open, or by shoving an instrument up the ureter. Fortunately, through the miracles of technology, one does not necessarily have to go through this “invasive” treatment. Instead, there is a treatment that uses shockwaves to slice up the stone. This is called kidney stone lithotripsy. A large machine uses sound waves to break up the stone into small fragments that can be more easily passed through.

Three themes have emerged throughout my life, which I believe make me especially well suited for a career in veterinary surgery: a passion for animals, a fascination with surgery, and an unparalleled determination to continue to expand my talents in the veterinary science field.

The technology that veterinarians use are somewhat similar to the technology scientist use, and in some cases the occasional doctor. Microscopes, x-ray machines and many other machines are used in order to determine fractures, brakes, sprains, and cells of the animals that your everyday veterinarian would see.
