Answer to Question 1

The diagnosis code in SNVDO consists of three parts: topography (four characters), etiology (four characters), and the structural or function code (one character). Unlike human medicine coding procedures, no emphasis is placed on differentiating principal and secondary diagnoses.
The procedure code in SNVDO consists of two parts: the first three characters are an abbreviated topography code, and the last two characters depict the procedure performed in that topography.

Answer to Question 2

The economic value of some animals (e.g., performance horses, valuable breeding show animals, cattle) necessitates that the owner or owners secure mortality insurance.
