    Study Notes

    Developmental Milestones and Growth

    • By the end of the first week, neonates can establish some basic reflexes.
    • Kittens typically open their eyes around 7 to 14 days old.
    • Puppies generally double their birth weight by 10 days to 2 weeks.

    Physiological Mechanisms

    • Shivering and vasoconstrictive mechanisms usually begin around 1 week of age.
    • The main method of body temperature regulation in neonatal puppies and kittens is through behavioral means, as they lack effective thermoregulation.

    Blood Sampling Guidelines

    • The recommended maximum percentage of circulating volume to be drawn for blood samples over a week is 10-15%.
    • If the patient is ill, only 5% of circulating volume should be drawn to avoid potential complications.

    Urine Sample Collection and Analysis

    • Urine samples from puppies and kittens are typically obtained via free catch or catheterization.
    • Normal urine may contain trace amounts of glucose but should not reflect high levels.
    • Specific gravity for urine in puppies and kittens typically ranges from 1.001 to 1.030.

    Neonatal Period and Reflexes

    • The neonatal period for dogs and cats lasts from birth up to 2-3 weeks of age.
    • Neonates spend about 90% of their day sleeping in the first week.
    • Significant reflexes, such as righting and walking, are not developed in neonates during the first week.

    Indicators of Health and Development

    • The ventral abdominal skin color in neonates should indicate adequate blood circulation.
    • Normal body temperature for neonatal puppies and kittens ranges between 94.5°F to 97°F (34.7°C to 36.1°C).
    • Dehydration in neonates can be indicated by darker urine color.

    Additional Developmental Information

    • Puppies and kittens are able to lift their heads at about 1 week of age.
    • By around 2 to 3 weeks, puppies and kittens are able to stand.
    • The umbilical cord typically dries and falls off within the first week to 10 days.
    • Sex determination in kittens can be indicated by the distance between the genital opening and the anus.

    Conclusion

    • Ensure continuous monitoring of body temperature and hydration status in neonates for optimal health outcomes.
