Health check before pets come in

My name is Coco, I am almost two months old today, and it has been a week since I arrived in my new home. My father and mother said they would take me to the hospital for a full-body examination today. Hospital? Brothers and sisters are afraid of going to the hospital. They say that the uncles and aunts in the hospital all wear white coats, and whoever disobeys will be given injections. I, I, I will not go to the hospital...

Is this a hospital? Sure enough, they were all uncles and aunts in white coats, but they were not awesome at all. The aunt who just weighed me kept calling me good baby, good baby, with a sweet voice. I know, as long as I behave, I won’t be given any injections, haha.

Who is this? He is holding my head and looking left and right, sometimes at the eyes, sometimes at the nose, sometimes at the mouth. Not only that, but also looking at my butt. It’s so embarrassing. Yes, if he hadn't kept praising me for being beautiful, I would definitely not buy his fault.

Oops, I fell asleep! The beautiful sister just patted me gently and put something on my body to listen to. She didn’t know what she was doing, but I fell asleep. Sorry. Now I have to come down and do some exercise. Hey, why am I feeling a little dizzy? I walk like a drunkard. It seems I haven’t woken up yet and I’m still going to sleep...

It’s finally over. Fortunately, the doctor said I was a healthy baby, otherwise I would have had to get a shot and continue to check for blood, stool, and parasites. God only knows what parasites look like. Mom, mom, stop talking and go home! Didn't you and dad say you were going to hold a PARTY for me today? I can't wait.

1. Weigh, register, and establish medical records;

3. Inspection, including:

1) Check in detail the luster of the coat, whether there is baldness or skin abnormalities;

 2) Check whether the color of visible mucous membranes is normal (such as conjunctiva, nasal mucosa, oral mucosa), whether there are secretions from the eyes and nose, the color and amount of secretions, whether there are stool stains around the anus, etc.;

3) Observe whether the pet’s walking and running posture is abnormal;

4) If there is defecation or urination, observe the color and shape;

4. Test body temperature

5. Auscultation: Use a stethoscope to listen to heart sounds, respiratory sounds, check heartbeat, respiratory rate, and intestinal peristalsis sounds if necessary;

6. If a suspected sick dog is found upon examination, further laboratory diagnosis is required, such as blood routine, stool test, urine test, skin parasite and fungal examination, etc.;
