  • 2. 

    Dogs with bad or rotten teeth can be made extremely ill by the bacteria from the mouth travelling to other places in the body.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Poor dental hygiene in dogs can lead to the accumulation of bacteria in their mouths. When these bacteria spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream, it can cause various health issues and make the dog extremely ill. Therefore, the statement that dogs with bad or rotten teeth can be made extremely ill by the bacteria from the mouth travelling to other places in the body is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Hold the ears closed while working around the head or placing cotton wool balls inside the ear to block the ear canal.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    To protect the ears from any potential harm or damage, it is recommended to hold them closed while working around the head or to use cotton wool balls to block the ear canal. This can prevent any foreign objects, fluids, or loud noises from entering the ear and causing injury or discomfort. Therefore, the statement "Hold the ears closed while working around the head or placing cotton wool balls inside the ear to block the ear canal" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    If there is a lot of wax further down the ear, then use a cotton bud in the ear canal.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Using a cotton bud in the ear canal is not recommended, especially if there is a lot of wax further down the ear. Inserting a cotton bud can push the wax deeper into the ear canal, potentially causing blockage or damage to the eardrum. It is safer to seek professional help, such as from a doctor or audiologist, to properly remove excessive earwax.

  • 5. 

    Signs of an eye that you shouldn’t clean:

    • Very hairy or matted

    • Pus or creamy discharge

    • Small bits of mud or vegetation

    • Brown staining around the eye

    Correct Answer
    A. Pus or creamy discharge
    Explanation
    The presence of pus or creamy discharge in the eye is a sign that it should not be cleaned. Pus is usually a sign of infection, and attempting to clean the eye in this condition may worsen the infection or spread it to other parts of the eye. It is important to seek medical attention in such cases to properly diagnose and treat the underlying cause of the discharge.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The anal glands are three glands situated internally on either side of the dogs anus.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because dogs have two anal glands, not three. These glands are located internally on either side of the dog's anus and are responsible for producing a smelly substance that is used for marking territory and communication.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Signs that an ear needs cleaning: (Select two)

    • Brown wax around the ear and on the fur surrounding the ear

    • A sweet-smelling ear

    • Small bits of mud or vegetation

    • Scabs and/or dried blood

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Brown wax around the ear and on the fur surrounding the ear
    A. Small bits of mud or vegetation
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Brown wax around the ear and on the fur surrounding the ear" and "Small bits of mud or vegetation". These signs indicate that an ear needs cleaning. Brown wax around the ear and on the fur surrounding the ear can be a sign of excessive wax buildup or an ear infection. Small bits of mud or vegetation can also indicate that the ear is dirty and needs cleaning. The other options, a sweet-smelling ear and scabs and/or dried blood, are not necessarily indicators of the need for ear cleaning.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Using your thumb and index finger push out, ______ and ______ to empty the anal glands.

    • Down and outwards

    • Up and outwards

    • Down and inwards

    • Up and inwards

    Correct Answer
    A. Down and inwards
    Explanation
    To empty the anal glands, you need to apply pressure in a downward and inward direction. This is because the anal glands are located inside the anal opening, and pushing down and inwards helps to express the contents of these glands. Applying pressure in any other direction would not effectively empty the anal glands.
