Q

6 guidelines to define dystocia

A
  • no puppy 30 to 60 min w/ strong contractions

Q

Medical TX for dystocia

A

Oxytocin if uterine inertia or fatigue is expected bc it stimulates contractions

Q

Uterine inertia vs fatigue

A

Inertia is failure of uterus to sustain contractions strong enough to expel the fetus. Fatigue is when contractions are pushing against a situation that is not conductive to normal deliver.

Q

AKI

What does decreased glomerular filtration mean/result in?

A

More toxins in blood stream -> damages renal tubules so normal secretion and absorption of water and electrolytes happen -> less urine is produced, GI mucosa is damaged, gastrin lvl increases

20
Q

Ethylene glycol:

Lab work results

Study These Flashcards
A
  • severe azotemia and hyperphosphatemia (kidney’s can’t excrete, BUN, CRE, P)
  • hypocalcemia due to Ca being tied up with oxalate crystal formation
21
Q

CS of CRF

early and late signs

Study These Flashcards
A

uremia
toxin retention
systemic hypertension

Late:
dementia
weakness
stupor
seizures
22
Q

Why does hypertension occur in CRF patients?

Study These Flashcards
A

retained Na and H2O

23
Q

CRF Lab work alterations

Study These Flashcards
A
  • mild to mod regen. anemia
  • azotemia w/ isosthenuria
  • elevated BUN and CRE
  • hyperphosphatemia
  • hypokalemia
24
Q

Dietary changes for CRF

Study These Flashcards
A

decrease: P, protein, Na
increase: K, calories

25
Define uremia and how it presents
the effects of the retained toxins and other substances that the kidney is supposed to eliminate from the body presents as PU/PD
26
CRF management options (long list)
``` diet fluids H2 blockers antiemetics oral potassium oral phosphate binders hypertension meds blood transfusion human erythropoietin ```
27
What type of antibody is produced locally as a defense in lower UT Dz?
IgA
28
4 CS of lower UT Dz
hematuria pollakiuria stranguria dysuria
29
How do bacteria specialize for cystitis infections?
-special adherence structures that allow bacteria to attach to urinary epithelial cells -secretion of hemolysin capsule prevents phagocytism
30
When the inflammatory response is stimulated, the bladder ______________.
contracts
31
What stones are radiolucent?
ammonium urate
32
What environment do struvites like, and what way do you need to shift the pH?
like basic enviro | promote acidic pH (6-6.5)
33
What environment do calcium oxalate like, and what way do you need to shift the pH?
like acidic environment | promote neutral pH (6.7-7)
34
FLUTD: | What forms can FLUTD come in?
idiopathic secondary to bacterial cystitis/neoplasia secondary to uroliths obstructive vs nonobstructive
35
What things get eliminated from the body after urine flow is re-established post blockage?
``` BUN CRE P K (even to the point of hypo) toxins ```
36
Cause of hemorrhage
obvious external injury rupture of internal organ coagulation abnormality parasites
37
Causes of hemolysis
Primary: IMHA Secondary: administration/exposure to certain drugs/toxins
38
Causes of non-regen. anemia
bone marrow aplasia/hypoplasia (due to FeLV, Estrogen, etc.) myelofibrosis neoplasia
39
3 primary effects of hemolysis on the body
anemia HgB release increased risk of clot formation due to inappropriate activity of coag. cascade
40
3 CS of IMHA
anemia icterus red colored urine due to hemoglobinuria
41
IMHA lab work changes
``` nonregen anemia hemolyzed serum spherocytes 2+ autoagglutination significant leukocytosis hyperbilirubinemia elevated liver enzymes hemoglobinuria ```
42
Rodenticide CS - general - pulmonary parenchymal or pleural cavity hemorrhage - pericardial sac hemorrhage
Gen --> anemia PP or PC hemorrhage --> tachypnea, dyspnea, +/- cough PS hemorrhage --> dyspnea, collapse
43
List the tests in a clotting profile
PT PTT/APPT ACT
44
____ will be prolonged first in Rodenticide poisonings because it primarily assesses clotting factor 7 which as a short half life
PT
