Study Notes

Blood Sample Procedures

  • Capillary tubes should be filled ¾ full with blood and plugged at the red end.
  • Hematocrit tubes spin for 3 minutes in a microcentrifuge.
  • Samples must be inverted at least 10 times to properly suspend cells before analysis.

Drug Administration Routes

  • Injecting into muscle is the fastest method to get drugs into circulation.
  • Subcutaneous injections are slower in drug absorption compared to intramuscular injections.
  • Oral drugs absorb through the gastrointestinal system, notably in the stomach and small intestine.

Controlled Substances and Regulations

  • Controlled substances require secure storage in a locked, substantially constructed cabinet.
  • Guidelines for submitting rabies specimens vary by state.
  • Expiration dates for drugs must be included on home medication labels.

Laboratory Equipment and Testing

  • The Catalyst DX Chemistry Analyzer can run 25 tests from one sample, with slides needing to be loaded within 5 minutes of opening.
  • Electrolyte and ammonium slides should be loaded last into the analyzer.
  • The ProCyte Dx and LaserCyte Dx analyzers can only process EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood.

Sample Collection and Storage

  • A lithium heparin blood container sample must be analyzed within 30 minutes of collection.
  • Fecal samples used for testing intestinal parasites must be specific; not all samples are suitable.
  • Only certain types of samples can be processed on each type of testing equipment (e.g., NOVA cannot process EDTA whole blood).

Microscopy and Staining Techniques

  • Using the Diffquick method for slide staining follows a specific order: light blue, red, then purple.
  • Tapping a hematocrit tube on a refractometer can interfere with result accuracy.

Vaccination and Health Information

  • Core vaccinations for dogs include: distemper, adenovirus, parvo, parainfluenza, and rabies.
  • A reconstituted vaccine must be used within 30 minutes of preparation.

Waste Management and Disposal

  • Chemotherapy materials are disposed of in yellow medical waste containers.
  • Sharps containers should be disposed of when 75% full.

Parasites and Infections

  • Heartworm is transmitted by mosquitos, while scabies is caused by Sarcoptes mites.

Inventory Management

  • Record essential inventory data: item name, item number, quantity, and department intended for use.

Hematological Analysis

  • A single hematocrit tube can provide four separate pieces of information about blood composition.
  • Packed Cell Volume (PCV) denotes the proportion of blood volume occupied by red blood cells.
