- 40when assessing mentation, what does 'Alert collapsed' mean...normal mentation
- 41when assessing mentation, what does 'Depressed collapsed' mean...will respond to stimuli
- 42when assessing mentation, what does 'Obtunded collapsed' mean...decreased level consciousness, will only respond to painful stimulus.
- 43when assessing mentation, what does 'Unconscious' mean...collapsed and does not respond to stimuli but has palpable pulse and heart rate.
- 44Shock is...a state of acute circulatory collapse where the circulation is unable to transport sufficient oxygen to meet demands. Has significant effect on all organs – especially brain, heart and kidneys and may lead to organ failure and death.
- 45signs of shock (multiple)Heart rate – tachycardia, slow CRT, pale mm, poor pulse quality, hypotension
Resp rate – tachypnoea
Urine output – slow or stop urine production - 46signs of pain (multiple)Vocalisation
Submissive, depressed
Reluctance to move
Abnormal posture and movement
Aggression
Changes in urination/defecation
Reduced appetite
Self mutilation - 47Oliguria (urine)Reduction in quantity of urine produced, could be due to dehydration, hypovolaemia and acute renal failure
- 48Anuria (urine)Complete cessation of urine production. Could be due to damaged urinary system, ruptured bladder, obstruction or acute renal failure.
- 49Stranguria (urine)passing of urine is painful
- 50Dysuriadifficulty passing urine

- 61VomitingForceful evacuation of stomach contents through the mouth (active retching and abdominal contractions) – FBs, gastritis, poisons, systemic disease (acid pH due to stomach acid)
- 62RegurgitationPassive movement of food and or liquid back into the mouth with no warning-megaoesophagous (food did not reach the stomach – same pH as when it went in)
- 63Haematemesisbring up blood (haem n emesis)
- 644 x macro nutrientsproteins, fats, carbohydrates, water - body needs relatively large quantities
- 652 x micro nutrientsMinerals and vitamins, as the body needs only small (or trace) quantities
- 66peptidesTwo or more amino acids joined by peptide bonds
- 67polypeptidesMany peptides joined together in a chain.
(A protein is made from one or more polypeptides) - 68enzymes: trypsin and pepsin break down...protein into amino acids so the body can absorb them
- 694 x functions of protein- Structural role in cell walls and muscle fibre
- Tissue repair and growth
- Regulation of metabolism (as enzymes and hormones)
- A source of energy - especially in felines - 70why do cats have a higher protein requirement than dogs?Cats do not use carbohydrate as significant energy source, so they get almost all their energy from protein
Insufficient quantity of protein in the diet results in the break down of their own muscle protein. - 71Taurine deficiency results inCentral retinal degeneration leading to blindness

Reproductive failure and developmental abnormalities in kittens
Has been linked to dilated cardiomyopathy. - 72__________ is an essential amino acid for cats as unlike other animals, cats are unable to synthesise sufficient quantities of this ______ _____ to meet their high requirements Taurine is only found in ______ protein sources so cats cannot be vegetarian- they are obligate carnivorestaurine
amino acid
animal - 73_____ deficiency: - Poor growth or weight loss - Poor coat and skin condition - Anorexia - Decreased resistance to disease.protein

- Transports nutrients
- Removes waste products from the body
(in the form of urine)
- Involved in chemical reactions and digestion. - 77___-___% of the body is made up of water60-70%
