CASE 7
CASE 7
One method used to diagnose patients is through sonographs or ultrasound images. An ultrasound machine uses high frequency sound to create an image of soft tissues in a body. Ultrasounds were done on the abdonmen of case 7. Given an adult female patient with a large abdomen in the early spring, what do these ultra sound images confirm?
CASE 7
Note from Channel Island Marine and Wildlife Institute on June 12, 2012:
Mom #1 gave birth to pup #1 on the “D” dock, middle finger, of Ventura West Marina in the Ventura Harbor early Sunday morning (6/10). Around 1:00pm on Sunday, the pup fell off of the dock into the harbor. The mom quickly went into the water and pulled the pup to the rocks. Mom and pup exhibited normal bonding behaviors. They were vocalizing loudly, sniffing each other and mom used her mouth to help the pup get into position for nursing. The pup has been seen and heard nursing vigorously. Both appear to be outwardly healthy. This mother was in rehabilitation with TMMC and the tag number is 27319.
