Lecture description:

The body possesses numerous homeostatic abilities in order to maintain an equilibrium.  Thermoregulation is just one of these amazing abilities that the canine and feline possess to maintain a normal core body temperature. Though, in the face of disease, thermoregulation may be adversely affected. Patients may become hyperthermic or hypothermic given specific disease processes or as a result to the medications used to treat disease. Knowing why the body is altering a patient’s core temperature is essential for veterinary technicians to understand so that they may provide the best care and support needed for their patients.
