Q

Two methods to tx entropion via scarification:

A

Inject penicillin/tetracycline intot he eyelid - will cause scaring, and rotation of the eyelid outwards.

Or you can insert lidocaine into the lid and crush the tissue with hemostates to cause scaring.

Q

Is it common to test for causes of keratoconjunctivitis in sheep and goats? What do we do when we suspect it?

A

Uncommon to test - not economically practical

A

Decreased weight gain

Reduced milk production

Costs of tx

Ocular disfigurement - can lead to blindness, and can lead to head being condemned in slaughter

30
Q

What contributing pathogens predipose to infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK)?

A

Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR)

Mycoplasma

Branhamella

Listeria

31
Q

what is the #1 suspect of IBK? What are two other suspects?

A

1 = Moraxella bovis

Others: Moraxella ovis and Moraxella bovoculi

32
Q

Moraxella bovis is a _____ (shape), gram ____ baceteria. Over ___ serogroups have ____ that assist with attachment to epithelium, causing those to pathogenic. Some even contain _____ enzyme that assists in the penetration through the epithelium.

A

coccobacillus

negative

7

pili

beta-hemolysin

33
Q

Moraxella ovis and Moraxella bovoculi are also thought to be associated with IBK, but they are also part of the normal _____ of the eye.

A

flora

34
Q

IBK is most common in what season?

A

Summer

35
Q

How is IBK transmitted?

A

Nasal and ocular discharge - direct contact

Fly vectors

Fomites

36
Q

Breed and other susceptibilties to IBK?

A

Bos taurus >> bos indicus

Herefords

Young animals >> older animals

UV light exposre

37
Q

Tx of IBK

A

Use labeled antimicrobials:

topicals include oxytetracycline and vetericyn

Sysetmics include oxytetracycline and tulathromycin

Systemics are more practical than topicals.

You can also use corticosteroids, and ancillary therapy like eyepatch.

38
Q

Vaccine to prevent IBK includes which two Moraxella pathogens?

A

M. bovis and M. bovoculi, but NOT M. ovis.

39
Q

Why do vaccines against IBK prevnetion have limited efficacy?

A

Due to strain variability

40
Q

How else can you prevent IBK besides vaccines?

A

Mow pastures - minimzie dust/pollen and reudce occular trauma from long grasses

Control vectors (flys)

Separate infected and susceptible animals

Provide shade and ample space.

41
Q

Out of cattle, sheep, goats and pigs, neoplasia affects which species MC?

A

Cattle

42
Q

C/S of squamous cell carcinoma

A

Often starts as a small plaque on the bulbar conjunctiva/cornea at limbus

Turns into papilloma –> carcinoma producing neoplasti cells –> invades basement membrane and becomes an invasive carcinoma

43
Q

Diagnosis of SCC

A

Biopsy as definitive dx

Often clinical appearance is enough to know it is a SCC before biopsy

44
Q

Tx of SCC

A

Sx + other modality

Exenteration = removal of the globe and orbital contents (= extirpate in food animal world)

45
Q

Two types of regional anesthesia done, which one is more common?

A

Peterson block - inject one large dose of lidocaine - can cause death if you inject direclty into optic nerve, not done often anymore.

Four point block - more common, smaller volumes of lidocaine given at four different points

46
Q

Two congenital reasons for cataracts in ruminants

A

Autosomal recessive in jersey, hereford, and holstein breeds.

In utero exposure to BVD

47
Q

Acquired reasons for cataracts in cattle/ruminants

A

Trauma, uveitis, systemic disease

48
Q

Acquired reasons for cataracts in swine

A

Hygromycin B

49
Q

Differential list for cortical blindness

A
  • Polioencephalomalacia
  • Lead poisoning
  • Ketosis - small ruminants

51
Q

A

nasal

52
Q

Camelids have an ____ pupil.

A

Oval

53
Q

Camelids have ribbon-like _____ ____, aka _____.

A

Granula iridica (corpora nigra)

54
Q

T/F: Camelids have meibomian glands on their eyelids.

A

False - NO meibomian glands present

55
Q

T/F: Camelids have sebaceous glands on the lacrimal caruncle.

A

True.

56
Q

T/F: Camelids have a holangiatic fundus with no tapetum.

A

True

57
Q

The normal nasolacrimal system in camelids has three puncta - where are there locations:

A

2 in lacrimal - upper and lower

one in nasal - just proximal to vestibule

58
Q

What is dacryocystitis?

A

Inflammation of the lacrimal gland, secondary to obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct at the level of the lacrimal sac

59
Q

Congenital malformations of the nasolacrmial system are common in camelids - which may include punctal or nasolacrimal duct atresia. How do we confirm and tx?
