    After the needle is removed from the dogs leg, what should you do?

    • Let go of your restraint

    • Apply pressure immediately 

    • Let go of the leg and wrap your arm under the dogs body

    Correct Answer
    A. Apply pressure immediately 
    Explanation
    After the needle is removed from the dog's leg, it is important to apply pressure immediately. This is because applying pressure helps to control bleeding and prevent further injury or complications. By applying pressure, you can help to minimize blood loss and promote healing. This should be done using a clean cloth or bandage, applying firm pressure to the wound.

    When restraining a dog for a lateral saphenous blood draw, it is recommended to have a coworker either hold the dogs head or hold off for the blood draw.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When restraining a dog for a lateral saphenous blood draw, it is recommended to have a coworker either hold the dog's head or hold off for the blood draw. This is because restraining a dog for a blood draw can be challenging, and having a coworker assist in holding the dog's head or holding off can help ensure the procedure is done safely and effectively. By having someone hold the dog's head, it helps to prevent the dog from moving or jerking during the blood draw, reducing the risk of injury to both the dog and the person performing the procedure.

    While handling dogs and cats, if you MUST let go of your hold, ALWAYS GIVE WARNING. You should never let go of a pet you're restraining without letting everyone around you know. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    It is important to always give a warning when letting go of a pet you are restraining because sudden release can startle the animal and cause them to react unpredictably, potentially leading to injury or harm. Additionally, letting others know that you are releasing the pet can help prevent any accidents or misunderstandings, ensuring the safety of both the pet and those around. Therefore, the statement is true.

    A client would like to purchase the brown size of heartgard (50-100 lbs) , and give them half of each of montly dose to each of their 35 lb dogs. What should you tell them?

    • Sure! you can do that

    • I do not recommend that, as the medication is not necessarily evenly distributed throughout the chew, so we couldn't guarantee that each dog will receive the correct dosages. 

    Correct Answer
    A. I do not recommend that, as the medication is not necessarily evenly distributed throughout the chew, so we couldn't guarantee that each dog will receive the correct dosages. 
    Explanation
    Splitting the monthly dose of Heartgard for a 35 lb dog may not guarantee that each dog will receive the correct dosage. The medication may not be evenly distributed throughout the chew, so it is not recommended to divide the dose.

    Droncit is administered subcutaneously 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Droncit is a medication that is typically administered subcutaneously, meaning it is injected under the skin. This method of administration allows for the drug to be absorbed into the bloodstream more quickly and efficiently. Therefore, the statement "Droncit is administered subcutaneously" is true.

    Rabies is 100% fatal if left untreated, and there is no treatment once symptoms occur.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Rabies is a viral disease that affects the central nervous system and is transmitted through the saliva of infected animals. It is indeed 100% fatal if left untreated. Once symptoms of rabies occur, there is no known cure or treatment that can effectively treat the disease. Therefore, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention and receive post-exposure prophylaxis if bitten by a potentially rabid animal to prevent the onset of symptoms and ultimately, death.

    Leptospirosis attacks the liver and kidneys, and can be difficult to diagnose.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the liver and kidneys. It can cause symptoms such as fever, muscle pain, and jaundice. Due to its nonspecific symptoms, diagnosing leptospirosis can be challenging. Therefore, the statement that leptospirosis attacks the liver and kidneys and can be difficult to diagnose is true.

  • 10. 

    An infected tick must be attached for at least 24-48 hours to transmit Lyme disease

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks. The bacteria needs to be in the tick's gut for a certain amount of time before it can be transmitted to a human. Research suggests that the tick must be attached for at least 24-48 hours in order for the transmission to occur. Therefore, the statement "An infected tick must be attached for at least 24-48 hours to transmit Lyme disease" is true.

    Canine influenza is transmitted through direct contact with an infected dog, coughing/sneezing, or via contaminated surfaces.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Canine influenza is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected dog. This means that if a healthy dog comes into contact with an infected dog, they can contract the virus. Additionally, the virus can also be spread through coughing or sneezing, as the respiratory droplets containing the virus can travel through the air and infect other dogs. Furthermore, contaminated surfaces can also play a role in the transmission of the virus, as dogs can come into contact with the virus by touching surfaces that have been contaminated by an infected dog. Therefore, the statement is true.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    VIP Petcare recommends that all cats receive an initial set of FeLV vaccine at least once in their life, which is then followed by a booster shot one year later. This statement implies that it is true that VIP Petcare recommends this vaccination protocol for cats.

    • Injectable bordetella

    • 5-in-1

    • Rabies

    • Lyme

    Correct Answer
    A. 5-in-1
    Explanation
    The Leptospirosis 4-way vaccine can be administered either on its own or mixed with the 5-in-1 vaccine. This means that the 5-in-1 vaccine can be combined with the Leptospirosis vaccine to provide protection against multiple diseases in a single injection.

    Rate this question:

    I only need to discuss vaccine related adverse events with owners if their pet looks like they might have one. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because as a veterinarian, it is important to discuss vaccine-related adverse events with all pet owners, regardless of whether their pet appears to be experiencing any symptoms. Adverse events can occur even in pets that do not show immediate signs of a reaction, and it is crucial to inform owners about potential risks and monitor their pets for any changes in health after vaccination. This ensures that owners are well-informed and can seek veterinary care promptly if needed.

    Explanation
    Diphenhydramine is a medication commonly known as Benedryl. It is an antihistamine that is used to relieve symptoms of allergies such as itching, sneezing, and runny nose. It can also be used as a sleep aid and to treat motion sickness. Steroids are a different class of medications that have anti-inflammatory effects, while dewormers are used to treat parasitic infections. Therefore, the correct answer is Benedryl.

    If a dog survives canine distemper, the symptoms may be permanent 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If a dog survives canine distemper, the virus can cause long-term damage to the nervous system, leading to permanent symptoms. Canine distemper is a highly contagious viral disease that affects a dog's respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems. While some dogs may recover from the initial infection, the virus can still cause neurological damage that can result in permanent symptoms such as seizures, muscle twitches, and behavioral changes. Therefore, the statement "If a dog survives canine distemper, the symptoms may be permanent" is true.

    A client comes in to the clinic and tells you they are here for boosters for their puppy. Upon looking up their account, you find that 3 months has passed since the first set of vaccines. You inform the client that you recommend coming back in 3-4 weeks after todays set of vaccines for one more booster. Why is it highly recommended to come back in 3-4 weeks?

    • So they can buy medication when they come back

    • Because the dog is not old enough today

    • Booster must be administered within the recommended time-frame in order to be effective. When there is a lapse in between boosters, an additional set 3-4 weeks from today is recommended.

    • Because we need to practice vaccinating

    Correct Answer
    A. Booster must be administered within the recommended time-frame in order to be effective. When there is a lapse in between boosters, an additional set 3-4 weeks from today is recommended.
    Explanation
    Boosters are necessary to ensure that the puppy develops a strong immune response to the vaccines. The initial set of vaccines provides some level of protection, but it is not enough to fully protect the puppy. By coming back in 3-4 weeks for another booster, the client ensures that the puppy receives the necessary vaccines within the recommended time-frame. This helps to maximize the effectiveness of the vaccines and provide the puppy with the best possible protection against diseases.

    A client comes into clinic to purchase heartworm prevention for their dog. They inform you that the dog has not received any heartworm prevention in about 9 months. What do we recommend?

    • We recommend starting heartworm prevention today

    • We do not recommend that your dog be on heartworm prevention.

    • We recommend a Heartworm-Lyme Combo Test and negative test result prior to starting any heartworm prevention

    • We recommend waiting until summer to put a dog on heartworm prevention

    Correct Answer
    A. We recommend a Heartworm-Lyme Combo Test and negative test result prior to starting any heartworm prevention
    Explanation
    It is important to conduct a Heartworm-Lyme Combo Test and obtain a negative test result before starting any heartworm prevention. This is because if the dog is already infected with heartworms, starting prevention without treating the infection can lead to serious complications. Therefore, it is crucial to confirm the dog's heartworm status through testing before initiating any preventive measures.

    You are taking a credit card payment and you get a DECLINED message. Whats the FIRST thing you should do?

    • Swipe the card again and see if it will process, if not ask the client for another form of payment

    • Grab the supervisor

    • Keep swiping the card until it processes

    • Process a manual credit card slip

    Correct Answer
    A. Swipe the card again and see if it will process, if not ask the client for another form of payment
    Explanation
    If you receive a DECLINED message when taking a credit card payment, the first thing you should do is swipe the card again and see if it will process. If it still does not go through, then you should ask the client for another form of payment. This is because there could be a temporary issue or error that caused the initial decline, and attempting to swipe the card again allows for a potential resolution. If the card continues to be declined, then seeking an alternative form of payment is necessary.

    How is bordetella transmitted between dogs

    • Infected feces

    • Infected urine

    • Direct contact with an infected dog or via airborne transmission

    Correct Answer
    A. Direct contact with an infected dog or via airborne transmission
    Explanation
    Bordetella, a highly contagious respiratory infection, can be transmitted between dogs through direct contact with an infected dog or through airborne transmission. This means that dogs can become infected by being in close proximity to an infected dog, or by inhaling respiratory droplets containing the bacteria. Additionally, infected feces or urine are not the primary modes of transmission for this particular infection.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    What is rabies?

    • A bacterial disease transmitted through infected urine into stagmant water sources

    • A viral, zoonotic disease transmitted through the bite of a rapid animal

    • A bacterial infection transmitted through infected black legged ticks

    • A highly contagious airborne virus that causes eye/nose discharge, poor appetite, coughing and vomiting 

    Correct Answer
    A. A viral, zoonotic disease transmitted through the bite of a rapid animal
    Explanation
    Rabies is a viral, zoonotic disease that is transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. It is not caused by bacteria or ticks. The virus affects the central nervous system and can be fatal if left untreated. Symptoms of rabies include fever, headache, muscle aches, and eventually, neurological symptoms such as confusion, hallucinations, and paralysis. It is important to seek medical attention immediately if bitten by a potentially rabid animal to receive appropriate treatment.

    To receive their final 3-in-1 vaccine, a kitten should be at least what age?

    • 8 weeks

    • 6 months

    • 16 weeks

    • 1 year

    Correct Answer
    A. 16 weeks
    Explanation
    Kittens should be at least 16 weeks old to receive their final 3-in-1 vaccine. This is because the vaccine is typically given in a series of shots, with the final one being administered at 16 weeks. The 3-in-1 vaccine protects against several common feline diseases, including panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis, and calicivirus. By waiting until the kitten is 16 weeks old, they have had enough time to develop a strong immune system and are better able to handle the vaccine.

    If a pet is experiencing a serious vaccine related adverse event after hours (the clinic is over and helpdesk is closed) , what should they do?

    • Take their pet to the vet hospital right away

    • Nothing, just monitor the pet

    • Call their full service vet to make an appointment for the following week

    • Take their pet back to the host store

    Correct Answer
    A. Take their pet to the vet hospital right away
    Explanation
    If a pet is experiencing a serious vaccine-related adverse event after hours and the clinic is closed, it is important to take the pet to the vet hospital right away. This is because a serious adverse event may require immediate medical attention and waiting until the next day or week could potentially worsen the condition or put the pet's life at risk. Monitoring the pet or making an appointment for the following week may not be suitable in such urgent situations. Taking the pet back to the host store would not be a viable option as they may not have the necessary resources or expertise to handle a serious medical emergency.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    If a pets heartworm-lyme combo test comes back positive for heartworm disease, what heartworm prevention products will be available to them?

    • We recommend pets who test positive for heartworm disease to visit their full service veterinarian

    • Heartgard plus

    • Trifexis

    • Sentinel

    Correct Answer
    A. We recommend pets who test positive for heartworm disease to visit their full service veterinarian
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to recommend pets who test positive for heartworm disease to visit their full-service veterinarian. This is because heartworm disease is a serious condition that requires proper medical attention and treatment. Only a veterinarian can provide the necessary guidance and prescribe the appropriate heartworm prevention products based on the individual pet's condition. Revolution, Heartgard Plus, Trifexis, and Sentinel are all heartworm prevention products, but their suitability for a pet with a positive heartworm test can only be determined by a veterinarian.

    Why do we recommend the PureVax Rabies vaccine for cats?

    • It's non-adjuvanted, and thus less likely to cause inflammation or injection-site reactions

    • It utilized Recombinant techonology

    • It's considered best medicine for cats

    • All of the Above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the Above
    Explanation
    The PureVax Rabies vaccine for cats is recommended for several reasons. Firstly, it is non-adjuvanted, meaning it does not contain additives that can cause inflammation or injection-site reactions in cats. Secondly, it utilizes Recombinant technology, which enhances its effectiveness. Lastly, it is considered the best medicine for cats, indicating that it is a highly trusted and recommended option for protecting cats against rabies. Therefore, all of these reasons make the PureVax Rabies vaccine the recommended choice for cats.

    Which parasite transmits Lyme disease

    • Infected Tapeworms

    • Infected Fleas

    • Infected Ticks

    • Infected Mosquitos

    Correct Answer
    A. Infected Ticks
    Explanation
    Ticks are the parasites that transmit Lyme disease. When an infected tick bites a human or animal, it can transfer the bacteria that causes Lyme disease into the bloodstream. This makes infected ticks the primary vector for transmitting the disease. Infected tapeworms, fleas, and mosquitos do not transmit Lyme disease.

    A client comes into your clinic and requests the 5-1 . His 7 year old dog has not received the 5-1 in 5 years. When should the client return for boosters?

    • 3 years

    • 1 year

    • 3-4 weeks

    • 6 months

    Correct Answer
    A. 3-4 weeks
    Explanation
    The client should return for boosters in 3-4 weeks because the 5-1 vaccine is typically given as a series of shots, with the initial vaccination followed by booster shots. Since the dog has not received the 5-1 vaccine in 5 years, it is important to restart the vaccination series to ensure proper immunity. The 3-4 week interval allows enough time for the initial vaccine to take effect and for the immune system to respond, while still maintaining the effectiveness of the vaccine.

    Rate this question:

  • 33. 

    What is the minimum age for rabies vaccine?

    • 8 weeks

    • 10 weeks

    • 12 weeks or 16 weeks depending on state

    • 1 year

    Correct Answer
    A. 12 weeks or 16 weeks depending on state
    Explanation
    The minimum age for rabies vaccine varies depending on the state. Some states require the vaccine to be administered at 12 weeks of age, while others require it to be given at 16 weeks of age. The variation in age requirements is likely due to different state regulations and guidelines regarding rabies prevention and control. It is important to consult with local authorities or a veterinarian to determine the specific age at which the rabies vaccine should be given in a particular state.

    What is the average life expectancy for a cat who contracts FeLV

    • 1 years

    • 3 years

    • 5 years

    • 10 years

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 years
    Explanation
    Cats who contract FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) have an average life expectancy of 5 years. FeLV weakens the immune system, making cats more susceptible to infections, diseases, and certain types of cancer. While some cats may live longer with supportive care, the virus ultimately reduces their lifespan. It is important to note that individual cases may vary, and some cats may succumb to FeLV-related complications sooner or later than the average expectancy.

    Where is the microchip inserted?

    • On the right rear side

    • Anywhere on the midline

    • Between the shoulder blades

    • In the ear

    Correct Answer
    A. Between the shoulder blades
    Explanation
    The microchip is inserted between the shoulder blades. This location is commonly used for microchip insertion in animals because it is easily accessible and provides a secure and stable placement for the microchip. Placing the microchip between the shoulder blades also minimizes the risk of migration or displacement of the chip.

    When does a client receive a pro active prescription?

    • When they come into a clinic and ask the vet to write them a physical prescription

    • When they come into a clinic and do not get any flea and tick protection that day

    • When they call helpdesk and ask to purchase nexgard (dogs) or revolution (cats)

    • When they come into a clinic to purchase nexgard (dogs) or revolution (cats)

    Correct Answer
    A. When they come into a clinic and do not get any flea and tick protection that day
    Explanation
    A client receives a pro active prescription when they come into a clinic and do not get any flea and tick protection that day. This means that if a client visits the clinic and does not purchase any flea and tick protection for their pet, the vet may proactively write them a prescription for the necessary medication. This ensures that the client's pet is protected against fleas and ticks, even if they did not initially request it.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. It ensures that their legs are contained
    A. If they bite they will bite the towel first
    Explanation
    Wrapping a cat in a towel has the benefit of ensuring that their legs are contained, which can be helpful when handling them or when they need to be restrained for a medical procedure. Additionally, if the cat bites while wrapped in a towel, they are more likely to bite the towel first rather than a person, reducing the risk of injury.

    What common External parasite can transmit Tapeworms to Dogs and Cats

    • Infected Ticks

    • Infected Fleas

    • Ear Mites

    • Whipworms

    Correct Answer
    A. Infected Fleas
    Explanation
    Infected fleas can transmit tapeworms to dogs and cats. Fleas can carry tapeworm eggs, and when the pet ingests the fleas while grooming, the tapeworm eggs can enter their digestive system. Once inside, the tapeworm eggs develop into adult tapeworms, causing infection. It is important to regularly check and treat pets for fleas to prevent tapeworm infestations.

    What age do we recommend kitten pack 1?

    • 7-9 weeks

    • 8 months

    • 16 weeks

    • 4 weeks

    Correct Answer
    A. 7-9 weeks
    Explanation
    The recommended age for kitten pack 1 is 7-9 weeks. This is the ideal time to provide the kitten with essential vaccinations, deworming, and a thorough physical examination. At this age, kittens are more susceptible to diseases and infections, so it is crucial to start their preventive care early on. Waiting until 8 months or 16 weeks may leave the kitten vulnerable to potential health issues. Similarly, 4 weeks is too young for the necessary vaccinations and treatments included in the kitten pack.

    How is heartworm disease transmitted to dogs and cats?

    • Infected flies

    • Infected mosquitoes

    • Infected fleas

    • Infected ticks

    Correct Answer
    A. Infected mosquitoes
    Explanation
    Heartworm disease is transmitted to dogs and cats through infected mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites an infected animal, it picks up microfilariae, which are the immature heartworms. These microfilariae develop into infective larvae within the mosquito. When the mosquito bites another animal, it transfers these larvae into their bloodstream. The larvae then migrate to the heart and lungs, where they mature into adult heartworms, causing the disease. Therefore, infected mosquitoes play a crucial role in transmitting heartworm disease to dogs and cats.

    What is parvovirus?

    • A highly contagious and fatal disease that causes lethargy, diarrhea (often bloody), vomiting, and loss of appetite

    • A viral, zoonotic disease transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal

    • A bacterial infection transmitted through infected black legged ticks

    • A bacterial disease transmitted though infected urine into stagnant water sources 

    Correct Answer
    A. A highly contagious and fatal disease that causes lethargy, diarrhea (often bloody), vomiting, and loss of appetite
    Explanation
    Parvovirus is a highly contagious and fatal disease that affects dogs. It is characterized by symptoms such as lethargy, diarrhea (often bloody), vomiting, and loss of appetite. This viral infection can spread easily among dogs, especially puppies, through direct contact with infected feces or contaminated environments. It can cause severe dehydration and damage to the intestines, leading to a high mortality rate if not treated promptly and effectively.

    What are some common environments Leptospirosis can be found in?

    • Stagnant water

    • Moist soil

    • Tree houses

    • Ponds

    • Lakes

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Stagnant water
    A. Moist soil
    A. Ponds
    A. Lakes
    Explanation
    Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that is commonly found in environments with stagnant water, moist soil, ponds, and lakes. These environments provide a suitable habitat for the bacteria to thrive and multiply. Stagnant water, such as puddles or waterlogged areas, can harbor the bacteria and serve as a source of infection. Moist soil, ponds, and lakes also offer favorable conditions for the survival of Leptospira bacteria. Tree houses, however, are not mentioned as a common environment for Leptospirosis, so they are not included as a correct answer.
