Q

ULCERATIVE POSTHITIS & VULVITIS

aka “what common name?”

etiology? (4)

MALES vs. FEMALES

A

aka “PIZZLE ROT”

etiology?
1. ULCERATIVE BACTERIAL INFECTION caused by CORYNEBACTERIUM RENALE
2. C. renale is a NORMAL INHABITANT of PREPUCE & VULVA
3. but can PROLIFERATE & CAUSE DZ with HIGH UREA CONCENTRATION IN URINE from EXCESS PROTEIN IN DIET
4. urine tends to be in HIGH CONTACT with VULVA & PREPUCE

MALES > FEMALES

Q

ULCERATIVE POSTHITIS & VULVITIS…

2 common risk factors?

transmission can sometimes occur through ___

pathophysiology? (3)

A

2 common risk factors?
1. breeds with DENSE WOOL or HAIR
2. DIET = ALFALFA HAY, LUSH LEGUME

transmission can sometimes occur through FLIES

pathophysiology?
1. C. RENALE produces UREASE ENZYME
2. in a HIGH PROTEIN DIET, PROTEIN CONVERTED TO UREA
3. C. RENALE converts UREA to AMMONIA via UREASE at the PREPUCE/VULVA

Q

ULCERATIVE POSTHITIS & VULVITIS…

three DDXs based on SKIN presentation on GENITALIA?

also include why pizzle rot wouldn’t fit in for each

A
  1. ULCERATIVE DERMATOSIS (ex = POXVIRUS)
    –> would expect to see lesions on FACE, LIPS & LEGS
  2. CONTAGIOUS ECTHYMA (ORF)
    –> PROLIFERATIVE SCABS, but NEVER JUST LIMITED TO GENITALIA
  3. OBSTRUCTIVE UROLITHIASIS
    –> NO EXTERNAL/PREPUTIAL LESIONS

Q

TREATMENT & PREVENTION for ULCERATIVE POSTHITIS & VULVITIS (5)

hints: diet, quarantine, grooming, antibiotics, surgery

A
  1. REDUCTION of PROTEIN & NONPROTEIN NITROGEN INTAKE (<12%)
  2. ISOLATE AFFECTED ANIMALS
  3. WOOL or HAIR should be REMOVED FROM SKIN surrounding PREPUCE/VULVA
  4. can use TOPICAL ANTIMICROBIALS for EARLY CASES, only need SYSTEMIC such as TETRACYCLINE for advanced
  5. SURGICAL tx if STRICTURE in PREPUCE DEVELOPS, especially if BREEDING RAM

Q

UROLITHIASIS in SMALL RUMINANTS…

most likely in WHAT animals? what’s one reason as to why?

how can DIET affect it? (4)

4 species it’s common in?

A

most likely in NON-WORKING, CASTRATED MALES, maybe because if BANDED EARLY (within first 2-3 weeks), LACK OF TESTOSTERONE –> NO TROPHIC EFFECT ON URETHRA

DIET
1. if high in GRAIN, high in PHOSPHORUS & INCREASE LIKELIHOOD of MINERALIZATION
2. if high in CALCIUM like ALFALFA HAY, can contribute to MINERALIZATION
3. PELLETED DIETS
4. WATER DEPRIVATION

4 species?
1. WETHERS of ALL BREEDS
2. BREEDING BUCKS & RAMS
3. MALE POT-BELLIED PIGS, CAMELIDS & FARM DEER
4. FEEDLOT STEERS

ALL DAIRY & BEEF CATTLE ARE VACCINATED AGAINST ___-___ ____ of LEPTO, so it is ____ to cause ____ problems

diagnosis via… (2)

A

usually causes ABORTION in CATTLE

large animals can be exposed to many SEROVARS of LEPTO

ALL DAIRY & BEEF CATTLE ARE VACCINATED AGAINST 5-6 SEROVARS of LEPTO, so it is UNLIKELY to cause URINARY problems

diagnosis via..
