Drug residues, veterinary medicine in relation to human health.
Practical
Behavior of different animal species as it relates to the practice of veterinary medicine. Demonstration of methods of restraining of different animal species. Recording the cardinal parameters of health (Body temperature, pulse and respiration). Demonstration of disease diagnostic methods (palpation, auscultation, microscopic examination of feces, skin scrapings, blood, X-ray and ultrasonography. Methods of drug administration in animals (oral and parenteral). Demonstration of veterinary first aid procedures (controlling haemorrhage, dressing wounds, artificial respiration, use of splints in fractures, first aid in snake bite, heat stroke, tympany, drowning, burns, choke etc.).
