In many respects Dr. Kim Stewart is similar to a pediatrician.  Animals cannot talk like human beings, and much of the clinical history is obtained from the owner or client; as a pediatrician would obtain from a child’s parents.  Excellent people skills, and communication skills are required.

What can not be obtained from the clinical history, is acquired with the fingers, eyes, and smell.  The ability to listen with a stethoscope and palpate with the fingers and hands will reveal much of the physical findings.  The sense of smell is also important, in detecting the fruit odor of the ketotic cow’s breath, or the urea from the breath of a cat in renal failure.

What can not be revealed by the history and exam is further supported by diagnostic tests like blood work, urinalysis, and fecal exam. Dr. Stewart is well trained in laboratory medicine and parasitology.
