• VTTK 1750: VETERINARY PHARMACOLOGY

  3.00 Credits

  Eastern Wyoming College

  
  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.

• VTTK 1755: VETERINARY PARASITOLOGY

  2.00 Credits

  Eastern Wyoming College

  
  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.

• VTTK 1759: CO-REQUISITE FOR VTTK 1751

  1.00 Credits

  Eastern Wyoming College

  
  This is a one-semester workshop course to be completed concurrently with VTTK 1751. Requirement for enrollment in this course will be determined by examination in VTTK 1751 during the first week of class. This course provides supplemental instruction in fundamental mathematical operations and concepts to assist students in developing the skills required to successfully complete VTTK 1751. It is designed to provide instructor supervised practice for students to read and analyze problem statements, develop an appropriate mathematical setup, perform accurate calculations and determine the "reasonableness" of the computed result. This course is offered for S/U grade only. 2 hours lab. Prerequisite:    Currently Not Available Corequisite:    Currently Not Available

• VTTK 1925: APPL PRIN OF CHEM FOR VET TECH

  2.00 Credits

  Eastern Wyoming College

  
  This is a one-semester (16-week) lecture only course. This course introduces students to terminology, basic facts and fundamental concepts of chemistry, and relates this information to the biological processes encountered in veterinary medicine. This course begins with introductory topics which include matter and its physical states, atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding, chemical reations and inorganic nomenclature. After the initial introductory material, the course covers more advanced concepts and clinical applications including solution chemistry (concentrations and tonicity), gas laws, and acid-base chemistry (pH, buffers, and electrolytes). 2 hours lecture.
