Rehab Exam Discharge Instructions

**Presenting Complaint:**

**Physical and Diagnostic Examination:**

**GaitRite Objective Gait Analysis:**

**Diagnostic MSK Ultrasound: Final report pending
Medications:**
Please continue all medications and supplements as previously directed.

**Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate: Dasuquin Advanced (Nutramax Labs) is recommended.
Joint health is an important aspect of your pet's recovery as well as long-term function.
Dasuquin Advanced is a joint health supplement that works by supporting cartilage production and blocking enzymes that break down cartilage within the joint. We specifically recommend this product as it is the only veterinary joint supplement with clinical studies to support its
eficacy. In addition to glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, Dasuquin Advanced also contains avocado and soy as well as antioxidants which would benefit overall health.
Omega-3 fatty acid supplements (EPA and DHA) in liquid form, from marine sources are recommended. Welactin (from Nutramax Labs) is recommended. While using this supplement it is important to monitor for weight gain or digestive upset. If these concerns arise, diet planning
or dose reduction may be needed.
*If purchasing Welactin, the liquid formulation of Welactin is preferred. Please double the listed body weight dose given on the label (a slow gradual progression to this amount is recommended over 2 weeks while monitoring for gastric upset).
Myos Canine Muscle Formula: Research has shown that better muscle heath leads to better mobility, vitality and quality of life. Myos Canine Muscle Formula is made from an all-natural ingredient Fortetropin (fertilized hen egg yolks). It is considered a natural myostatin-reducing agent and has been clinically proven to increase muscle mass and size. Additionally, itIs been shown to inhibit disuse muscle atrophy in dogs after surgery.
Adequan (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) is an FDA-approved disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug. It is administered via subcutaneous (under the skin) or intramuscular injections to control signs associated with joint arthritis. Please speak with your primary veterinarian regarding this medication. We recommend dosing at 2 mg/lb, starting with twice
weekly injections for 4 weeks. Following that, you may continue once monthly injections as long as the medication appears to be helping, or you can repeat this series during times of increased discomfort. These continued injections can be performed by your primary veterinarian, or you
can administer the injection at home following instruction by your veterinarian if you are comfortable.

- ALKP (alkaline phosphatase): Increases indicate liver abnormality, Cushings disease, bone growth in young pets, bone remodeling after injury, drug-induced conditions.

- GGT (gamma-glutamyl transferase): Increases indicate liver abnormality or hemolysis.

- ALB (albumin): Increases may indicate dehydration or stress; decreases with decreased liver function, blood loss, gastrointestinal or kidney disease.

- TBIL (total bilirubin): Increases with liver disease or anemia, leading to jaundice.

- Bile acids: Increases indicate decreased liver function, abnormalities in blood flow to the liver, or bile duct obstruction.

 

**Pancreatic values:**

- AMYL (amylase): Increases with pancreatitis, kidney disease, gastrointestinal disease.

- LIPA (lipase): Increases with pancreatitis, kidney disease, gastrointestinal disease.

 

**Protein profile:**

- TP (total protein): Increases may indicate dehydration, stress, inflammation; decreases with decreased liver function, blood loss, gastrointestinal or kidney loss.

- ALB (albumin): Increases may indicate dehydration or stress; decreases with liver function decline, blood loss, gastrointestinal or kidney disease.

- GLOB (globulin): Increases may indicate inflammation or infection; decreases with blood loss, gastrointestinal loss, immune deficiencies.

 

**Electrolytes:**

- Na+ (sodium): Increases may indicate dehydration; decreases with loss during diarrhea, vomiting, Addisons disease, kidney disease.

- K+ (potassium): Increases with kidney disease, Addisons disease, dehydration, kidney obstruction; decreases with diarrhea or vomiting.

- Cl- (chloride): Increases may indicate dehydration; decreases with diarrhea or vomiting.

 

**Miscellaneous chemistries:**

- GLU (glucose): Increases may indicate diabetes mellitus; decreases due to liver disease, pancreatic disease, seizure, coma.

- AST (aspartate aminotransferase): Increases associated with liver or muscle damage.

- CK (creatine kinase): Increases associated with muscle damage.

- CHOL (cholesterol): Increases with metabolic disturbances including diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, Cushings disease, pancreatitis, some kidney diseases; decreases with liver insufficiency, intestinal disease.

- TRIG (triglycerides): Increases in non-fasted samples, schnauzers, pancreatitis, diabetes, Cushings disease, hypothyroidism.

- Cortisol: Increases with Cushings disease; decreases with Addisons disease.

Dog Neuter Surgery Report

The patient was placed in dorsal recumbency and the surgical site was clipped of hair. The prescrotal region was scrubbed with chlorhexidine and alcohol allowing for 5 minutes of contact time. The prescrotal region was draped in a sterile manner. A    cm skin incision was made with a #10 blade in the prescrotal region. The subcutaneous tissue was sharply incised to the level of the external spermatic fascia. The left testis was exteriorized and the spermatic fascia stripped via manual traction. The spermatic cord and vessels were double ligated with 2 modified Miller's knots. The testicle was sharply exercised. Hemostasis was ensured before releasing the transected cord. The right testicle was excised in the same manner. The subcutaneous tissue and skin were closed via routine two-layer closure.

Subcutaneous closure as follows: Simple continuous

Skin closure as follows: Buried continuous intradermal with skin glue as needed

Suture material utilized:    PDS

Finally, the record must include all the following information: Puppy talk: 

v It is recommended to spay and neuter all pets.  Small breed dogs should be spayed/neutered at about 6 months of age.  Large and giant breed dogs (over 50lbs) should wait until after the 1st heat cycle in females or 12-24 months of age, pending breed.  Breeding animals should be spayed/neutered after they are done with breeding (age 2-7 years) in order to decrease likelihood of developing certain cancers, prostatic problems in males, and pyometra (life threatening uterine infection) in females. 

o Giant breed dogs and large breed dogs with predisposition to gastric dilation and volvulus should have a preventative surgery involving tacking the stomach.

v Vaccines- Rabies and Distemper (contains leptospirosis) vaccines are required for all dogs.  Lifestyle vaccines depend on the dogs need/risk of exposure: Kennel Cough, Canine Influenza, and Lyme.  Vaccines must be boostered every 2-4 weeks until a certain age in order to be effective.  Yearly boosters are required thereafter. 

v Prevention for heartworm, intestinal parasites, fleas, and ticks will be sent home today.  Orals should be started tomorrow with a full meal, that way if they do have a reaction, we know if it is the vaccines or prevention.  Preventatives are needed for all pets, including those that don't travel, come in contact with other pets, or spend much/anytime outside.  Pets should be weighed monthly until they are done growing to prescribe the correct dose of prevention, and it needs to be given every 1-3 months (pending the product) lifelong.   

o If you haven't already, bring in a stool sample for your pet to be tested for intestinal parasites before allowing contact with other pets.  This is sent out.  We receive the results the following business day and "no news is good news". 

v Nutrition is a key part in ensuring healthy development of your puppy.  We recommend 3 brands of food: Purina Proplan, Hill's Science Diet, and Royal Canin.  These brands have recipes formulated by board certified nutritionists, have strict quality control protocols, and contain high quality ingredients.  They are known to contain the necessary amount of essential fatty acids in the diet required for joint health, skin/haircoat, and neurological function.  Puppies need to be fed 3 times daily until 4-6 months old.  After that feeding can be reduced to 2 times daily.  

o Make sure your pet is on an appropriate food for their breed, i.e., large and giant breed dogs need to be on a formula containing optimal proportions of calcium, phosphorus, and protein for bone development. 

o Small breed dogs can be transitioned to adult food at 7-9 months of age.  Large breed dogs can be transitioned to adult food at 12-14 months of age.  When making the transition, do so slowly by mixing the puppy and adult food together over a week or 2, increasing the proportion containing the new food.

o DO NOT FEED GRAIN FREE DIETS.  Dogs are omnivores and require carbohydrates.  The FDA and USDA have proven a link to heart disease.  

v We recommend acquiring pet insurance for your puppy as soon as possible.  Waiting will result in the insurance company to not cover any problems that arise prior to signing up.

o We recommend Trupanion, Embrace, and Pet's Best

v It is important to begin working with your pet by getting them accustomed to having their feet touched/nails trimmed, mouth handled/teeth brushing, and ears looked at/cleaned to avoid aversions.  Behaviors both positive and negative are instilled in dogs by 12 weeks old.  Socialization, including exposure to people, places, sounds, etc. to prevent aggression and anxiety needs to be started around 3 weeks old and is completed by 16 weeks old.  Puppy classes are a great way to get your puppy socialized.  

o Be mindful, your puppy has not completed its vaccine series by this time and is susceptible to infectious diseases.  Take care who your puppy comes into contact with.

Vaccine reactions: BEWARE of any vomiting, diarrhea, facial swelling hives, fever, severe pain, or profound lethargy. These are symptoms of a possible vaccine reaction and we should be notified immediately. More common/less severe side effects may include sleepiness, decreased appetite, mild soreness at injection site, sneezing, or a temporary small lump at injection site.

**TENTATIVE OR DEFINITIVE DIAGNOSES:**

**INSTRUCTIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS:**
Please take advantage of our comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment recommendation plan which
includes anesthesia and electronic anesthesia monitoring, IV catheter placement and fluids during procedure,
full-mouth x-rays, dental scaling, sub-gingival curettage (cleaning below the gumline just as our dentist does
for us) and dental polishing. Dental/periodontal disease is the most commonly diagnosed disease in cats,
affecting 75% of feline patients over the age of 2 years. Oral disease can affect overall health, so routine
assessment and preventative care is absolutely essential!
Daily dental care (brushing preferred, Feline Greenies, Healthy Mouth Rinse (www.healthymouth.com), other VOHC approved oral care products)
Continue monthly parasite protection (heartworm disease, fleas/ticks, intestinal parasites)...even indoor only cats can acquire heartworms...and fleas can carry potentially fatal disease(s)! Monthly Revolution is
imperative for your pet's overall health!

Urinary/Genital Systems: Urogenital system is normal.  The urinary system is functioning normally.  The reproductive organs examined are normal.

Rectal: Not performed. No outwardly perineal abnormalities noted.

Finally, the record must include all the following information: Kitten Talk

v It is recommended to spay and neuter all pets.  Cats should have this procedure performed by 4-6 months old to prevent unwanted litters, wandering behavior, urinating in the home, and certain illnesses/cancers.

v Vaccines- Rabies, Feline Distemper, and Feline Leukemia are considered core vaccines.  

o Rabies is given after 12 weeks old, preferably closer to 16 weeks old, then every 1-3 years.

o Feline Distemper contains rhinotracheitis (herpes), calicivirus, panleukopenia.  It can be started as early as 4 weeks of age and must be given every 3-4 weeks until 18-20 weeks old.  Then, boostered one time 6 months later.  And finally, every 1-3 years lifelong.

o Feline Leukemia is started after 12 weeks of age, boostered one time 3-4 weeks later, then every 2 years thereafter.  For cats that are strictly indoors, this vaccination is considered a lifestyle vaccine after 1 year old.  Kittens need to have a negative FIV/FeLV test prior to vaccination. 

o PLEASE TAKE NOTE CATS ARE AT RISK FOR INJECTION SITE TUMORS RELATED TO VACCINATION.  Incidence is rare, approximately 1 in 10,000 to 30,000.

v Prevention for heartworm, intestinal parasites, fleas, and ticks will be sent home today.  Preventatives are needed for all pets, including those that don't travel, come in contact with other pets, or spend time outside.  Pets should be weighed monthly until they are done growing to prescribe the correct dose of prevention, and it needs to be given every 1-2 months (pending the product) lifelong.   

o If you haven't already, bring in a stool sample for your pet to be tested for intestinal parasites before allowing contact with other pets.  This is sent out.  We receive the results the following business day and "no news is good news". 

v Nutrition is a key part in ensuring healthy development of your kitten.  We recommend 3 brands of food: Purina Proplan, Hill's Science Diet, and Royal Canin.  These brands have recipes formulated by board certified nutritionists, have strict quality control protocols, and contain high quality ingredients.  They are known to contain the necessary amount of essential fatty acids in the diet required for joint health, skin/haircoat, and neurological function.  Kittens need to be fed 3-4 times daily until 4-6 months old.  After that feeding can be reduced to 2 times daily.  The average cat should be offered no more than ½ cup of dry food total daily, or less if adding in canned food too (approximately 200 calories/day).  

o Cats can be transitioned to an adult diet at 6 months old.  When making the transition, do so slowly by mixing the kitten and adult food together over a week or 2, increasing the proportion containing the new food.

o DO NOT FEED GRAIN FREE DIETS.  The FDA and USDA have proven a link to heart disease.  

o It is recommended to feed cats a diet containing canned and dry food.  The combination can help prevent plaque, urinary problems, and kidney dysfunction.

v We recommend acquiring pet insurance for your kitten as soon as possible.  Waiting will result in the insurance company to not cover any problems that arise prior to signing up.

o We recommend Trupanion, Embrace, and Pet's Best

v It is important to begin working with your pet by getting them accustomed to having their feet touched/nails trimmed, mouth handled/teeth brushing, and ears looked at/cleaned to avoid aversions.  Enrichment including scratching posts, cat trees, and puzzle toys should be provided.  

 

FeLV vaccine: Given SQ distally left hind limb. 

FVRCP vaccine: Given SQ right shoulder. 

Feline Rabies vaccine: Given SQ distally right hind limb. 

Vaccine reactions: BEWARE of any vomiting, diarrhea, facial swelling hives, fever, severe pain, or profound lethargy. These are symptoms of a possible vaccine reaction and we should be notified immediately. More common/less severe side effects may include sleepiness, decreased appetite, mild soreness at injection site, sneezing, or a temporary small lump at injection site.
