GI Structural metabolic
What is the bacterial cause for "lumpy jaw"
actinomyces bovis
What infectious GI disease is caused by a coronavirus?
Transmissible gastroenteritis
What is a normal respiratory assessment?
Checking mucous membranes, ascultation of sinuses, trachea, lungs. Palpation of trachea.
What is the pathogen that causes atrophic rhinitis?
bordatella bronchisepta and/or pasteurella multocida
fluid accumulation in the tissue
what are two causes of crop distension?
A recent meal, impaction of the crop (parasites)
What are the two types of enterotoxemia in pigs?
C.perfingens B and C, C.perfinges D
What is the difference between laryngeal hemiplegia and dorsal displacement of the soft palate?
Laryngeal Hemiplegia: paresis or paralysis of the arytenoid cartilage.
Dorsal displacement: marginal space of the soft palate moves dorsal to epiglottis causing a blockage of the airways.
atrophic rhinitis: destruction of nasal turbines
Gutteral pouch disease: damaged cartoid arteries/nerves, pus in pouch
Infectious laryngotracheitis: necrotizing tracheitis with hemorrhage
Equine viral rhinopneumonitis: neurologic signs (paralysis), rhinopharyngitis, tracheobronchitis, pneumonitis
Bluetongue: vasculitis, increased vessel permeability
Aspiration pneumonia: cranioventral parts of lung
What is septicemia
Dying so quickly that there are no signs or lesions
what is the general progression of lumpy jaw?
penetrating body into oral tissues, abscess develops, surrounding bone infected and destroyed over time
What are the signs of swine dysentery?
mucohemorrhagic diarrhea
What are some signs of equine asthma?
- cough, heave line, increased rate of breathing with dyspnea, particularly on expiration.
What are the acute and chronic signs of bluetongue?
Acute:dyspnea, fever, frothing from nostrils, death
Chronic: unthrifty, wool break, reproductive losses
What is bruxism?
The act of grinding teeth
What are two main kinds of dentition?
closed rooted teeth: swine
Open rooted, continuously erupting throughout life: ruminants, horses, alpacas
What is the lesions for each different disease?
Coliobacillosis: fluid/gas in intestines, atrophy of villi
Transmissible Gastroenteritis: degradtion of SI with fluid
Proliferate Enteritis: thickening of SI lining
Swine Dysentery: severe inflammation, edema, necrosis
C.perfingens B/C: hemorrhagic enteritis
C.perfingens D: vascular damage in multiple cavities
Scours: loss of villous heigh
- choana, syrinx,and air sacs
What are the signs of infectious laryngotracheitis?
coughing blood, nasal discharge, dyspnea, conjunctivitis, blood in trachea.
what is pytalism?
excess drooling
What are the two main kinds of rumen bloat?
- free gas bloat: failure to blech/burp, impairs motility contractions
- frothy bloat: diets in high in legumes, alfalfa, cereal grains, gas stabilized foam.
What are they species and signs that pig enterotoxemia can effect?
Species: calfs, lambs, swine
Signs
Calfs: dysentery, colic, seizures, opisthotonos
Lambs: die without signs, anorexic, lethargic, dysentery
Swine: dysentery, high fataility
What is the cause of exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage and how does it show?
- high pulmonary vascular pressure created at max effort of exercise
- poor performance, coughing and frequent swallowing, nosebleed
What is aspiration pneumonia?
a pulmonary infection by inflammation and necrosis due to inflation of foreign material. Caused by inappropriate injection of oral medication, aggressive dip technique, primary neurologic disease, recumbency, and esophageal disease that leads to reflux.
what is dysentery
intestinal inflammation that can lead to severe diarrhea with blood and mucus in the feces
