Study Notes
Systemic Evaluation - Digestive System
- Systematic bodily system evaluations are crucial for accurate diagnoses during physical examinations
- Detailed history of the animal aids this process, focusing on affected systems for more thorough evaluation
- The physical examination should evaluate the animal's digestive system thoroughly.
Digestive System - Physical Examination
-
Identify abdominal organs during palpation (intestines, small intestines, and urinary bladder) easily visible in dogs, though abdominal effusion or obesity may obscure them.
-
Sedation may be necessary for uncooperative patients.
-
Be cautious about palpation, as rough techniques can elicit responses mimicking abdominal pain.
-
Assess hydration by examining the mucous membrane colour and moisture, and evaluating conjunctiva tear rate
-
Examine the teeth for calculus, fractures, abnormal wear, pulp exposure, extra teeth (supernumerary or retained deciduous), and abnormal odour, and check the bite.
-
Check for oral hemorrhage, cleft palate (in neonates), masses or trauma in the pharyngeal region or tonsillar abnormalities.
-
Palpate the paratracheal area to evaluate for collapse, soft cartilage, or flattening in the trachea.
-
Palpate the salivary glands, larynx, and thyroid gland (if palpable).
-
Evaluate jugular vein distension.
