Use this case study to answer the following questions:   Muttley, a 12‐year‐old K‐9, comes in to your clinic for a yearly exam. His owners have just moved from Texas to your state. As the veterinary technician, you are the first into the exam room to perform the TPR(W) and to speak with the owner about their visit today. Muttley appears BAR and his TPR is normal. His DOB is May 5, 2000. The owner, Mrs. Nethery, mentions that Muttley was seen by a different veterinarian a few months ago because he was limping. After obtaining a PPH, the owner gives you the copies ofMuttley’s records and radiographs from the previous clinic.   According to Muttley’s records, he was previously diagnosed with cardiopathy, arthritis, and hepatitis. The veterinarian, Dr. Rojas, enters the exam room to perform the P/E. He immediately notices that Muttley has dermatitis on his abdomen. Dr. Rojasdecides to perform a cytology on the affected area of skin. The skin scrape shows NSF. While speaking to Mrs. Nethery, the doctor feels a mass in the hypogastric region. After discussing the options, Mrs. Nethery agrees to let Dr. Rojas obtain a gastric biopsy the following day. The following day, Muttley checks in for surgery and has a pre‐surgical hematology panel done. His erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes are WNL. Hepatic enzymes are slightly elevated, but Dr. Rojas isn’t too concerned about it. An electrocardiogram isalso done because Muttley was previously diagnosed with a cardiopathy. The results were unremarkable. He’s taken to the OR where an incision is made into the abdomen and the mass is excised. Dr. Rojas asks you to send the mass to a reference lab for a biopsy. Muttley is sent to the ICU for recovery after surgery because of his age. The recovery goes well and Muttley is sent home. You tell Mrs. Nethery that the biopsy results will be back in three to five working days. After a week has passed, Mrs. Nethery has returned with Muttley for a post‐surgical exam. Muttley’s incision is healing nicely. Dr. Rojas explains that the mass was a carcinoma. Hisprognosis is guarded.   Question: Which organ had elevated enzymes on Muttley’s hematology panel?

Sassy, an intact nine‐year‐old female Newfoundland, comes to your clinic after the owner notices a vaginal discharge. On P/E, Sassy is panting excessively and has leukorrhea. There  is an odiferous smell coming from Sassy and she keeps licking her vulva. Her abdomen isdistended and she has an elevated temperature. After restraining Sassy for the veterinarian, the doctor notes vulvitis. After a thorough examination, radiographs, and blood work, the veterinarian diagnoses Sassy with pyometra. An immediate OHE is recommended and Sassy is placed on antibiotics PO BID. The owner wonders if Sassy’s previous history of dystocia and multiple pregnancies may have contributed to her current condition. The OHE goes well and Sassy has a routine recovery. Question: Which of the following describes Sassy’s clinical signs?

Use this study to answer the following questions. You hear a page over the intercom stating that you are needed in the emergency room, stat. The pt. is Bungee, a four‐year‐old male DLH with an abdominal evisceration. Apparently, Bungee had been fighting with the neighbor’s cat and fell from the top of the fence onto the gardening tools below. A quick check of his file shows that he is current on his FVRCP, FeLV, and RV. Upon P/E, a mass is found on the lateral aspect of his right stifle. The mass was warm to the touch. The veterinarian confirms that Bungee also has a CBA. His MM are pale and he’s breathing rapidly. Pre‐surgical bloodwork is run, which shows anemia. Bungee is taken into surgery to repair the evisceration. An endotracheal tube is placed and Bungee is positioned in dorsal recumbency for the procedure. After replacing the abdominal viscera, the veterinarian performs an abdominal lavage to try to preventperitonitis. Bungee was moved to the recovery room after surgery. After waking up from the surgery, Bungee begins coughing. The owner should be told that Bungee will have short‐term laryngitis because of the ET tube. Question: What does the abbreviation “stat.” mean?
