CDV
CDV can affect multiple systems, including respiratory, GI, and neurologic, and is caused by this type of virus related to measles and rinderpest.
What is morbillivirus?
This differential diagnosis for oliguria in horses can be distinguished from NSAID-induced ARF by the presence of muscle damage and dark, pigmented urine.
What is myoglobinuria (rhabdomyolysis)?
These highly hepatotoxic mycotoxins can cause oxidative stress, DNA damage, and inhibition of protein synthesis in the liver.
What are aflatoxins?
This specific tick species serves as the primary vector for transmitting Ehrlichia canis.
What is Rhipicephalus sanguineus (the brown dog tick)?
This protein is critical for canine distemper virus entry into host cells.
What is the hemagglutinin protein?
This early urinary abnormality reflects the kidneys' inability to concentrate urine during equine NSAID-induced ARF.
What is isosthenuria?
These neuro signs, including head pressing and altered mentation, result from this condition often associated with hepatic failure.
What is hepatic encephalopathy?
Infections with Ehrlichia canis may mimic this hematologic malignancy, often due to marked lymphocytosis and lymphocytes containing azurophilic granules.
What is lymphocytic leukemia?
Intracytoplasmic and intranuclear inclusions seen on histopathology are most often found in these two cell types.
What are respiratory epithelial cells and urothelial cells?
This renal ultrasound finding is indicative of medullary necrosis in cases of NSAID-induced ARF.
What is a hyperechoic renal medulla?
Chronic exposure to mycotoxins can lead to this type of liver cancer in some species.
What is hepatocellular carcinoma?
Bone marrow suppression in chronic Ehrlichia canis infections leads to pancytopenia due to this specific pathological process.
What is bone marrow hypoplasia or aplasia?
Name one bacterial cause of pneumonia that is a differential diagnosis for the respiratory signs of canine distemper.
What is Bordetella bronchiseptica, Mycoplasma cynos, or Streptococcus equi zooepidemicus?
These are two potential electrolyte imbalances observed on bloodwork in horses with NSAID-induced ARF.
What are hyperkalemia and hyperphosphatemia?
This bacterial disease, a differential diagnosis for hepatic failure in dogs, lacks the specific history of moldy feed exposure.
What is leptospirosis?
Ehrlichia canis can mimic this systemic autoimmune disease but is differentiated by the presence of tick exposure and infectious etiology.
What is systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)?
This rare neurologic condition can mimic the late-stage neurologic signs of canine distemper.
What is rabies viral encephalitis?
Activation of this pathway has been suggested as a contributor to acute tubular injury in NSAID-induced ARF.
What is the alternative complement pathway?
These three molds are the primary producers of hepatotoxic mycotoxins found in contaminated animal feed.
What are Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium?
Chronic infection with Ehrlichia canis may predispose dogs to these three secondary immune-mediated conditions.
What are anemia, thrombocytopenia, and polyarthritis?
