Blog 16: Answer 2

1.  What is your EQ?

How can a veterinarian and veterinary technician work together to best help an injured or sick animal?

2.  What is your first answer? (In complete thesis statement format)

They can work together by communicating what they believe to be wrong with the animal and why.

3.  What is your second answer? (In complete thesis statement format)

They can also best help the animal through examinations, x-rays, and health tests.

4.  List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.

- Examinations are important for the veterinarian to know exactly what is wrong with the animal. This is done at checkups or when the dog is not feeling well. This is when the veterinarian can diagnose the animal.

- X-rays are necessary for the veterinary staff to know where a dog is injured or where the problem is. This can help them determine if they need to perform surgery and how serious the problem is so they can better help the animal.

-Health tests are when a sample is taken from the dog to test its health. Some animals that come in get blood, feces, or urine tests. This can further help the veterinary staff determine the problem and give them a better idea on how to treat and help the animal.

6.  What other source supports your answer?

7.  Tie this together with a concluding thought.

Without the routine measures like examinations, x-rays, and health tests, the veterinary staff would not be able to fully understand or figure out what is wrong with the animals.
