Nursing
Georgie is a 4 year old fox terrier/jack russell mix that was hit by a car, resulting in a dislocated left femoral head. She underwent excisional arthroplasty of the femoral neck and head on May 20th. As the nurse caring for her recovery, it's important to monitor her pain, wound healing, mobility and psychological wellbeing. Some initial issues included hypothermia, pain, lack of eating and drinking, and depression. Through careful nursing interventions like pain management, hand feeding, encouraging movement, family visits and lots of affection, Georgie made a good recovery and was discharged after 2.5 days with her joint remaining stable.

Livestock observation
Livestock observation
Animal welfare refers to the physical and mental health of animals. Poor animal welfare impacts production and reproduction, can result in loss of market access, and violates legislation requiring owners to care for livestock welfare. Livestock experience pain and desire pleasure, so poor welfare causes stress compromising growth, production, and reproduction. Owners must regularly monitor livestock through inspection, ensure access to food, water and shelter, and house livestock according to codes of practice to maintain welfare. Signs of poor welfare include changes in behavior, appetite, health, and production.

Safety, paperwork, and caring for the animals are top priorities at the shelter.
Seven DIY Important Steps to Learn For Your Dog's Physical Examination
Regular physical examinations of pets are important to monitor their health and catch any issues early. Owners should check their dog's eyes, ears, mouth, chest, abdomen, nose, skin, and temperature monthly. Examining for issues like redness, discharge, lumps, irregular breathing or pulse can indicate illness and the need for veterinary care. While dogs may seem active, regular checkups are important for catching subtle health changes as dogs age more rapidly than humans.
History taking and physical examination
History taking
In veterinary medicine, history taking is most important from a clinical point of view because animals are unable to describe their pain and problems (symptoms).
AAFP and ISFM Feline-Friendly Nursing Care Guidelines
The term nursing care means different things to different people. The authors
of these AAFP and ISFM Feline-Friendly Nursing Care Guidelines define nursing care as
any interaction between the cat and the veterinary team (veterinarian, technician or nurse,
receptionist or other support staff) in the clinic, or between the cat and its owner at home,
that promotes wellness or recovery from illness or injury and addresses the patient’s physical
and emotional wellbeing. Nursing care also helps the sick or convalescing cat engage in activities
that it would be unable to perform without help.

Service dogs
Service dogs are trained to perform tasks to assist people with disabilities such as guiding the blind, alerting the deaf, pulling wheelchairs, detecting seizures or changes in blood sugar. Businesses must allow service dogs into public spaces without documentation and cannot deny access due to allergies. Service dogs help in a variety of ways such as assisting autistic children, detecting cancer smells, pulling wheelchairs, hearing assistance, and providing comfort in hospitals. People should not pet or distract working service dogs.
Dart Unit 12 Convergent
This document provides guidance on the use and management of convergent volunteers during a disaster response.

- 4. DART follows guidelines from the American Veterinary Medical Association regarding disaster response. While we intend to have veterinarians and veterinary technicians perform any and all veterinary medical procedures at the emergency shelter, we know from experience that especially during the initial stages of a disaster veterinary medical personnel may not be available. DART members should be able to perform simple triage on an animal, do a snout to tail assessment, and collect and record appropriate information on the condition of any animal at the shelter. During a large scale disaster DART members are also expected to assist veterinarians and veterinary technicians.
