Nоme, а seven-yeаr-оld Siberiаn husky, was presented with acute оnset respiratory distress. The owners returned from work to find the dog panting and refusing to go outside. Although there was no known history of trauma, the dog had been running at large the previous day. Physical examination revealed the following: Weight 75 lb, BCS 3/5, BAR, TPR 102.6 °F, 120 bpm, panting and dyspnea. Mucus membranes pale pink, CRT 2 seconds. Muffled lung sounds were noted on thoracic auscultation. Although the dog appeared uncomfortable, abdominal palpation did not reveal any palpable abnormalities. The dog also resisted palpation of the left side of the thorax. Extremities and ambulation were normal. Identify appropriate technician evaluations based upon the above subjective and objective data.

Rоdney (а 5-yeаr оld lаb crоss weighing 58 lbs) is brought into your clinic by his owner, Mr. Green, who feels that Rodney "isn't acting right." He states that Rodney is lethargic, not eating or drinking much, and doesn't seem to be himself. Mr. Green reports that Rodney has been progressively getting worse over the last 2 days, and believes that Rodney has lost approx. 10 pounds over the last few months. Upon physical exam, Rodney appears depressed, is reluctant to stand or move, and is approx. 7% dehydrated. His pulse is 100 beats/min, respiratory rate is 30 breaths/min and temperature is 101° F. Auscultation of Rodney's heart and lungs is normal and all other parameters are WNL. The amount of dehydration is frequently estimated by using physical signs in animals. What physical signs would indicate that a dog is less then 5% dehydrated? 6-8% dehydrated? 10-12% dehydrated? 12-15% dehydrated?
