1.00 Credits
Urinalysis is a lecture/laboratory course which provides instruction in the evaluation of physical and chemical properties of urine, as well as in the microscopic examination of urine sediment. Also included in this course is the instruction in the measurement of the chemical constituents of various body fluids, particularly serum and plasma. The relationship of the test results with organ function in health and disease are stressed. 1/2 hour lecture, 1 hour lab.

3.00 Credits
This course provides instruction in the principles of obtaining and examining blood samples from different species of animals commonly seen in veterinary practice today. The laboratory sessions include a practical approach to staining and evaluating the blood of animals in both healthy and disease conditions. Emphasis is placed on the recognition of the types and developmental stages of erythrocytes and leukocytes. Blood coagulation mechanisms, the immune system, preparation and handling of cytology samples and training in the use of automated cell counters are also included. 2 hours lecture, 2 hours lab.
-
2.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to nutrition concepts for large animals and small animals that they will utilize in veterinary medicine. Students will learn about commercial and therapeutic diets for companion animals and how to evaluate those diets. Students will learn to recognize feedstuffs and supplements for farm animals and develop rations for various species and life stages based on the feeds nutritional value. In addition, clinical signs of nutritional diseases, their prevention and treatments will be covered in lectures. 2 hrs lecture.
-
2.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to terminology that they will use in succeeding veterinary technology courses, report writing, professional practice, and professional reading. Emphasis will be placed on word usage, word meanings, and word pronunciations. 2 hours lecture.
-
3.00 Credits
This class introduces the basic principles of the uses of therapeutic agents in veterinary medicine and the classification of therapeutic agents in common use. Specific subject matter includes definitions and terminology; routes of administration and dosage forms; history of pharmacology; measurements used in pharmacology; actions and effects of drugs; assimilation and elimination of drugs in animals; regulation of the manufacture, sale, and use of drugs; factors that modify drug action; and study of classes and examples of specific drugs. Laboratory exercises allow the student to actually practice filling prescriptions, writing prescription labels, making entries into medical records and into both written and computerized drug logs. Compounding of medications is demonstrated and students are required to formulate percent solutions and mixed solutions (medical cocktails) under direct veterinary supervision. 3 hours lecture, 2 hours lab.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a one-semester lecture course. This course reviews basic mathematical operations used by veterinary technicians in the field of veterinary pharmacology. Topics covered in this course include: common abbreviations used in pharmacology, drug dose calculation methods (formula, ratio/proportion, and dimensional analysis [also called factor-label]), unit conversions, fundamentals of fluid therapy (fluid types, drip/flow rates, constant rate infusions and fluid deficit calculations), and solution preparations (dilutions). 3 hours lecture.
-
2.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to the macro-parasites that commonly infect veterinary species. Students will learn how to collect samples, perform diagnostic tests on these samples, identify parasites, and will gain hands-on experience in these areas. In addition, material covering prevention, treatment, life cycles, and clinical disease will be presented. 2 hours lecture, 1 hour lab.
-
4.00 Credits
A one-semester course providing students with the fundamentals of both chemistry and biology. Chemistry topics include matter and energy, atomic structure, periodic table, chemical composition and nomenclature, solutions, bonding, reaction rates, acids and basis, pH, and radioactivity. Biology topics to be discussed are basic cell structure and function, biomolecules (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids), cellular respiration, cellular division through both mitosis and meiosis, protein synthesis through transcription and translation, and basic genetics/patterns of inheritance. 4 hours lecture.
