Q

What are maintenance fluid rates in a cow (calf diarrhea power lecture)?

Study These Flashcards
A

40-80 mL/kg/day

20
Q

What is the best oral alkalinizing agent?

Study These Flashcards
A

Acetate

  • does not affect milk digestion
  • slightly slower than bicarb at correcting metabolic acidosis
21
Q

How do you calculate the amount of alkalinizing agent to give a calf?

Study These Flashcards
A

BW x base deficit x 0.6

mEq

22
Q

How fast should IV fluids be given? What about shock dose?

Study These Flashcards
A

SLOWER IS BETTER
5-10 mL/kg
10-20 mL/kg for shock

23
Q

Listeriosis

Study These Flashcards
A
  • microabscesses in brain stem

- cranial nerve deficits (asymmetric)

Fetus infected before 125 days of gestation
31
What is the growth medium of choice for Mycoplasma bovis?
Hayflick's agar
32
Mucosal Disease
5-month old calf which was persistently infected as a fetus with a non cytopathic (nonCPE) biotype of BVD virus is superinfected with a cytopathic (CPE) biotype of BVD due to rearranging of the parent non-CPE viral RNA
