Animal Exams in Naples Physical examination is a very important
part of the veterinary visit. A veterinary technician takes the
patients weight and temperature. Heart rate and respiration are
noted, followed by the Dr. completing a complete examination of
the eyes, ears, mouth and nose as well as the legs, joints, and
body. Systems and organs are palpated externally. The Dr. notes
any abnormalities, and considers the patient's history to
develop a plan for diagnostics and treatment. Full physical
exams should be performed at an annual vaccine appointment to
confirm your pet's health. Routine blood work as a part of a
yearly veterinary visit can diagnose early changes that may
indicate liver or kidney disease. Other than routine physical
examination, consultation on some esthetic procedures is
required. Oftentimes a consultation over a medical or behavioral
problem can uncover something previously unconsidered. The
veterinary medical consultation includes a review of the
laboratory results and medical records
