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 vegetationExplanation
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:

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. FalseExplanation
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.Rate this question:

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 dischargeExplanation
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:

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 inwardsExplanation
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.Rate this question:

These routine checks help prevent potential issues from escalating and ensure that any necessary treatment or intervention can be provided promptly.Rate this question:
