|---|---|
| The science of preventing disease in animals. Three major components are? | husbandry, vaccination and sanitation |
| Disinfectants | chemical agents that kill or prevent growth of microorganisms on inanimate objects. |
| Sanitizers | chemical agents that reduce the number of microorganisms to a safe level without completely eliminating all microorganisms. |
| Sterilizers | agents that completely destroy all microorganisms. |
| Disinfections | the destruction of pathogenic microorganisms or their toxins at a safe level. |
| Ad libitum | free choice |
| Body Condition Scoring | method of subjectively quantifying subcutaneous body fat reserves |
| Capsid | protein coat that surrounds the genetic material of viruses |
| Concussion | brain injury that is a violent shock or jarring of brain tissue |
| Contusion | a bruise or injury with no break in the surface of the tissue |
| Essential Amino Acids | amino acids that cannot be synthesized in the body and therefore must be supplied by the diet |
| Etiology | the study of causes of disease |
| Fibrosis | scarring the end result of tissue repair |
| Granulation Tissue | high vascularized connective tissue produced after extensive tissue damage |
| Laceration | a tear or jagged wound |
| Necropsy | postmortem examination of an animal body |
| Non-essential Amino Acids | building blocks of protein that are synthesized in the body |
| Nutrition | any constituent of food that is ingested to support life |
| Nosocomial | hospital-acquired infection |
| Pathology | the study of disease |
| Pathologist | is the one who studies diseases and often is responsible for accurate diagnosis as well as determining the cause of those diseases |
| Histopathology | is evaluating tissues with a microscope |
| Morphologic | is anatomic diagnosis |
| Etiologic | is causative diagnosis |
| Gross Lesions | described by stating the location, color, size, texture, and appearance of the altered tissue |
| Pyrexia | an abnormal increase in body temperature caused by the release of agents called pyrogens. |
| Hematochezia | the passage of fresh blood per anus, usually in or with stools. |
| Public Health | the major area of involvement for the veterinarians |
| Pyrogen | an agent in the body that increases the body's biologic setting to a higher temperature |
| Reservoir | a location in which pathogenic agents is maintained prior to transmission; a reservoir is often a living microorganism. |
| Toxoid | inactivated antigenic toxin molecules that stimulate development of the animal's own antibodies |
| Vaccine | a biologic product representing a pathogenic organism that stimulates immunity toward the pathogen |
| Virus | nonliving pathogen |
| Vitamins | play a very important role in maintaining normal physiologic functions |
| Antivenin | creates artificially acquired passive immunity |
| A feline vaccine that is not recommended | FIP |
| puppies can be fed | CMR-canine milk replacer |
| Modified live | a weakened version of a pathogen causes an immune response but not disease |
| First intention healing | is wound healing with no scar |
| Hypoglycemia | is prevented by slowly tapering TPN |
| Bacteria | are not considered parasites |
| Wound | an injury caused by physical means with disruption of normal structure. |
| Zoonotic | diseases transmitted between animals and humans by saliva from an animal bite example rabies |
| Large breed puppies are weaned at | 3-4 weeks old |
| Small breed puppies are weaned at | 4-5 weeks old |
| Kittens are weaned at | 7 weeks old |
| Limited dietary phosphorus | kidneys |
| Cats | linolenic, linoleic, arachidonic |
| Dogs | linolenic and linoleic |
| Water-soluble vitamins | b and c |
| Fat-soluble vitamins | ADEK |

| Dextrose is | 50% |
| Stomach Volume is | 20mL/kg body weight |
| Daily Water Requirement is | 12mL/kg body weight |
| Total Daily Food |
