Q

This protozoal is often confused with mycoplasma because it too occupies RBCs; the tissue stage (schizont) causes problems

Q

What is the DOC for mycoplasma?

A

Doxy

19
Q

This virus is common in young cats and presents with wt loss, fever and ascites; it has fluid characteristics of yellow with high protein and increase neutrophils and lymphocytes

A

FIP

20
Q

Blood diarrhea, fever and leukopenia are seen with this virus

A

panleukopenia

21
Q

ELISA for this virus detect Antigens so we don’t worry about maternal antibodies

A

FeLV

22
Q

ELSA for this virus detects Antibodies so if cat is less than 6 months old it could be detecting maternal Abs

A

FIV

23
Q

______virus is transmitted via fighting while _____virus is transmitted by friendly cats

A 
FIV = fighting cats
FeLV = friendly cats
24
Q

T/F Corona virus w/o clinical signs is suggestive of FIP

A

FALSE; Corona virus WITH clinical signs is suggestive of FIP

25
Q

What bacteria can cause the same signs as Panleukopenia?

A

Salmonella

26
Q

This virus can be shed in body secretion so cat must be ISOLATED; can still shed up to 6 wks if recovers

A

Panleukopenia

27
Q

An increase in gamma globulins, a titer of 1:400 and 1:1600 is associated with what virus?

A

FIP

28
Q

T/F Western blot is the gold standard to confirm an ELISA + result with FIV

A

TRUE

29
Q

If FIV + for how long do they hold on to antibodies for?

A

6 months

30
Q

FeLV likes to hide in these 2 organs

A

spleen and bone marrow

31
Q

T/F there is no vaccine for FeLV

A

False; kittens should be vaccinated

32
Q

For an IFA test if a cat tests positive for FeLV this is a persistent infection in a symptomatic cat; so can a transiently infected cat temporarily test positive?

A

YES

33
Q

If a kitten test positive for FeLV and then 8 weeks later was positive again this is likely a persistent infection; you would confirm this with what 2 tests?

A

IFA or PCR

34
Q

What is the prognosis of a FeLV positive cat showing signs?

A

Bad but if asymptomatic can live for years

35
Q

T/F FIP can be transmitted between cats

A

FALSE

36
Q

The dry form of FIP affects _____ and _____ while the wet form causes_______ and ______

A

CNS and eyes

ascites and pleural effusion

37
Q

Is there a tx for FIP?

A

NO

38
Q

T/F Once FIV antibodies are present the cat is infected for life

A

TRUE; this is different from other antibody tests where it just means exposure

39
Q

Can humans get FIV?

A

NO

40
Q

Is there a treatment or vaccine for FIV?

A

No tx and the vaccine is not recommended because it interferes with tests and is not efficacious

41
Q

This fungal dz is Zoonotic so gloves must be worn; it causes cutaneous signs such as nodules on the trunk or head that may ulcerate, drain or crust

A

Sporotrichosis

42
Q

T/F The disseminated form of Sporotrichosis is rare with lesions all over body; poor prognosis

A

TRUE

43
Q

What is the characteristic shape of Sporotrichosis on histopath?

A

cigar shaped and can be intracellular or extracellular

44
Q

What is the tx of choice for a cat? for a dog?

A 
Cat = itraconazole
Dog= oral K iodine or itra/ketaconazole
