Feline panleukopenia virus (parvovirus)

18
Q

What might be the genetic etiology of developmental anomalies?

A

Polycystic kidney disease

Persian

21
Q

Manx cats have a high percent of cats with what genetic defect

A

Spinal defects -> high mortality

22
Q

A dog with pancreatic aplasia or hypoplasia. What is the disease name and what type of anatomical defect is it?

A

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency

Failure to develop

23
Q

German Sheppard’s often have _______________ disease that causes pancreatic hypoplasia

A

Acute necrotizing pancreatitis

24
Q

A malformation of the coxofemoral joint is called ___________ and is due to what type of anatomical defect?

A

Hip dysplasia

Abnormal development of a structure

25
Q
Give the MDX for a dog who's radiographs show... 
Flat heads of both femurs 
Flat acetabular rims 
Both luxated 
Early osteopaths
A

Coxofemoral malformation

Hip dysplasia

26
Q

You see many cows aborting late term fetuses. The fetuses have limbs that are fixed in place. What is this?

A

Arthrogryposis

Injury of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular tissues

27
Q

What is the pathogenesis of arthrogyposis?

A

Damage to muscular/neurological tissue -> limbs do not move during development -> connective tissue matures -> limbs fixed

28
Q

What is the etiology of arthogryposis?

A

Akabane (Bunyaviruius)

29
Q

Calves infected with bunyavirus at 10-180days will have what outcome?

A

Nerves affected -> severe nonsupperative myelitis -> arthogryposis

30
Q

Calves infected by bunyavirus between 80-100days will have what outcome?

A

Hydranencephaly and limbs that are fixed in place

31
Q

In a lamb you see and ear lacking an ear canal. What is the MDx and what type of ant atomically defect is is?

A

Atresia ani

Failure to canalize

Can be fixed surgically

32
Q

What is synophthalmia? What can it be caused by?

A

Fusion of the two eye orbits causing one eye (cyclops)

Veratrum californium at day 14 of gestation
Cyclopamine toxin from plant

33
Q

What is schistosomes reflexus? What type of anatomical defect is it?

A
Animal is born inside out 
Stern also cleft 
Dorsal reflection of ribs 
Eventration of viscera 
Non-union of pelvic symphysis 

Failure to fuse

No agent causes this but the cow will not be able to give birth to this animals -> requires and C section

34
Q

What is prognathia ?

A

Positioning of the maxilla or mandible forward of a normal position (over or underbite)

35
Q

Polydactyl is what type of anatomical defect?

A

Abnormal development of a structure

36
Q

What do you call the condition where the heart is found cranial within the neck?

Q

What do you call additional limbs?

A

Polymelia

38
Q

What is wry nose?

A

Maxillofacial deformity of equine

39
Q

What is lethal white syndrome?

A

Inherited genetic defect in foals

Causes colonic hypoplasia - cells of neuronal crest have poor formation of myenteric plexus
Albinism- no melanocytes

40
Q

What is lysosomal storage disease?

A

Genetic deficiency of particular lysosomal enzymes

-> vacuoles with accumulated substrate

Affects neurons, skeletal, and cardiac muscle (low replication)

41
Q

What do you call the disease where an animal is lacking enzymes that process surgars?

A
