areas for auscultation. The examiner should gradually move the stethoscope

base. Following examination of the left precordium, the right precordium
should be examined.
PATELLAS
- $15.00 - PATELLAS Form
Patellar luxation is caused by congenital abnormality usually at the level
of the hip joint and results in abnormal forces on the kneecap, which
cause it to eventually ride outside of the groove. The groove becomes
very shallow and the attachment of the ligament of the patella may be
malpositioned on the tibia bone. If the patellar luxation occurs in mature
animals, the tibia and femur bones become twisted.
THYROID--(plus
lab cost) - $8.00 - THYROID Form
Dogs should not receive any type of thyroid supplementation for 3 months
prior to thyroid testing.
