For this scenario you will be provided with the pet's health record to assist you with answering the questions related to the case. Clinics will have different variations of this pet health record, but most will include this general type of information.
Case Scenario:
Rodney the 9-year-old male (desexed) mastiff cross is brought into the clinic at 10am on Thursday with chronic osteoarthritis. The owner informs you that Rodney has been irritable, reluctant to jump up on his bed, general stiffness and difficulty getting into position to urinate or defecate.
The main reason for his visit today is that he observed some aggression towards his two young children when they were trying to play with him. Upon palpation of Rodney the vet notes crepitation and atrophy of the hind legs. It has been decided that they will conduct further examinations and Rodney will stay overnight.
