- Important Things in Medical Consultation
The purpose of medical consultation is to understand sickness in the context of someone’s life, drawing upon a broad range of approaches to awaken and support a person’s inner healing response. Health challenges impact many aspects of a person’s life, and many aspects of a person’s life can influence illness and the restoration of health. The success of any consultation depends on how well the patient and doctor communicate with each other. There is now firm evidence linking the quality of this communication to clinical outcomes. In the early 1980’s, Goldman, Lee and Rudd published the often-cited “10 Commandments of Consultation”, which effectively defined a practical standard for internal medicine consultation. Consultants were advised to:
- clarify the question
- determine the urgency of the consultation
- gather data independently rather than relying on that previously obtained
- be brief and succinct
- state the differential diagnosis concisely and be specific in recommendations
- anticipate potential problems and provide options
- honor the roles of other caregivers teach with tact
- maintain direct personal contact with the consulting physicians
- follow up with periodic notes and, where appropriate, recommendations.

- Clipping a Dog's Broken Toenail
Dogs’ toenails will often break on their own, learn what to do when your dog has a broken toenail, in this free pet health care video with tips from a veterinarian. It’s not uncommon for a dog to break a toenail. It most often occurs when you trim his nails with clippers, but accidents can cause the toenail to break as well. Since the toenail is likely to bleed a lot, you need to take action right away.- Stop the bleeding. A dog’s nail is going to bleed a lot when it’s broken. Simply holding a bandage over it usually won’t make it stop. Instead, use a coagulant to pack the wound. Substances that can be used include flour, powder, cornstarch or a styptic powder.
- Get an over the counter antibiotic cream to place over the broken nail. A generous amount should be applied in order to prevent infection and promote healing.
- Put a bandage over the area. You can secure the bandage using vet or surgical tape. The area should not be wrapped too tightly and cut off circulation.
- Cover the bandage with a sock. The sock is used to protect the area and keep the dog from trying to get at the wound. Since the sock is not likely to stay in place on its own, you may have to use more vet tape.
- Keep a close eye on the dog for the next few days. If the nail does not seem to heal or the dog starts limping, you should make an appointment with the vet.
- In order to prevent future broken nails, you should learn about how to properly cut a dog’s nails. A vet can let you know how to do it, or you can read a dog care handbook.
- If your dog is in pain from the broken toenail, you’ll need to have someone hold him or use a muzzle during treatment.

- Useful Article: Treating Dog Fever
It is nearly impossible to tell if a dog has fever without taking his temperature first. One of the best outer signs that your dog may not be feeling well nor has fever is lethargy, meaning that he is just lying around not wanting to play, drink or eat.
If your dog’s temperature is over 104 degrees, you will need to get him to the vet. If it is below 104 degrees, keep him cool and hydrated.
If you are taking the temperature with a mercury thermometer, you will need to leave it in approximately three to four minutes before reading it.
To read the thermometer, gently slide it out of the rectum and wipe the inserted end off with either a baby wipe or a dry tissue.
Have someone assist you in keeping your dog still. If he is not feeling well, he may be more prone to biting.
If you are taking his temperature with a mercury thermometer, you will have to shake the mercury down. If you are using an electronic thermometer, it should be ready to go.
After reading the thermometer, wipe it down with an alcohol pad or a germicide wipe to ensure that it is clean.
Slowly and gently lift your dog’s tail to insert the lubricated end of the thermometer right inside of his rectum.

- DIA, Diagnostic Imaging Atlas Veterinary Software
The Diagnostic Imaging Atlas by Odyssey Veterinary Software is the complete client education source for all veterinary hospitals. As an author and educator, the 3D anatomical illustrations and images are of the highest quality for continuing education. The program provides a quick illustrative guide for all veterinary conditions for client communication in a very easy-to-use format.
DIA is a powerful client communication tool. It is great to explain some of the more complex medical issues and procedures that otherwise would be over the clients head, ultimately affecting client compliance. DIA’s illustrations bring the problems and procedures to life, which help clients make educated decisions on the pet’s medical care. The illustrations are life-like and do not appear to shock clients but rather educate them on their journey through basic anatomy, disease processes, and therapy.
The system has been a wonderful and powerful client education tool. It works well not only to educate clients about general health care issues such as parasites, and dental care, but it ties in nicely with digital PACs system to help explain radiograph, ultrasound, and endoscopic images. Clients are more likely to allow further diagnostic testing.
Veterinary medicine has never seen 3D anatomy like this before. Spin a heart 360 degrees, give it heartworm disease, show a client a transparent view of a normal heart while it beats or one with Dilated Cardiomyopathy, let them watch an intervertebral disc protrude or a cruciate ligament actually rupture and more. The heart files actually play a virtual normal heartbeat and an arrhythmic beat for the Dilated Cardiomyopathy example. The files have such a high resolution that you can use the zoom tool to magnify into small areas of each file.
The DIA software for equine will available soon on Februari 2010. This revolutionary program allows practitioners to better illustrate medical conditions to clients through amazing animation, video content, virtual anatomy files and much more. The program also includes a complete library of digital radiography and ultrasound images and you can even import your own patient’s clinical images for comparison.
This cutting-edge software provides an exceptional resource for equine client communication. Beside the ability to illustrate pathologies on your computer or laptop, you will also be able to print or email additional information to clients on the conditions you discuss every day.
DIA Reception is a powerful tool to educate your clients while they wait! This software can be run on your PC or on a DIA Touchscreen computer. 
The program includes several videos on common pet health topics. Vaccines, Wellness Visits, Heartworm Disease, Spaying, Neutering, Allergies and Ear Infections are just some of the titles available.
DIA Reception allows you to create playlists. This means you can have a tailored set of videos for different visit types, such as a Puppy Visit, Kitten Visit, Senior Wellness Visit and more. The DIA Reception videos can also be used on your practice’s website with a subscription to our annual support/upgrade plan.
DIA Touch is highly affordable and offers a complete exam room computing solution. This cutting edge system provides all of the great features from the standard DIA version, plus several new fingertip friendly options.

Last night, I read through the chapters in section 1. I have to say that I think that each chapter is going to be hit or miss with me.
For example, the chapter called “Chemistry and Constraints: How We Choose Our Dogs” wasn’t that enlightening. Jean even admits that there isn’t a lot of research about how we choose our dogs, and she confesses, “So, using a wholly rigorous approach — mulling it over in the shower and chatting with some dog friends — I have generated the following list of dog choice factors.” At least she’s honest, but in a book that throws Pavlov, Premack, and Pinker in the title, I figured the conclusions would be based more in research than mulling it over.
On the other hand, I really enjoyed the chapter called “Observation vs Interpretation.” She contrasts the behaviorism school of thought versus other interpreters, and I’m pretty sure she’s implying folks like Caesar Millan in the later case. It’s pretty clear from the subtext that she doesn’t like the whole “the dog is displaying his dominance” school of thought.
In the end, I think I’ll end up marking the chapters that are worth reading, and then taking the bibliography in the back and doing some further reading. This book is almost like a series of blog posts strung together, and although that’s not really what I look for in a book, it’s probably a good starting point for learning more about what we really know about animal behavior science.
