Synopsis:
This presentation discusses the Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan for several aquatic animal cases that were presented to Aspen Park Veterinary Hospital over the past 3 years. We discuss the challenges of getting an accurate history from the client, as well as attempting to advise clients with sometimes not being able to directly examine the animals and only having the option of telemedicine.
Learning Objectives:
- Interpreting client history versus the physical exam
- Dealing with the challenges of public facilities
- Understanding why go-home instructions matter
