PCP is used for what?
Wood preservative
What ways can you get exposed to PCP?
dermal, inhalation, GIT
MOA PCP
uncouples oxidative phosphorylation to decrease ATP
Major CS of PCP
metabolic acidosis, hyperthermia, weight loss, CNS seizures and hyperkeratosis
Dx for PCP
rapid rigor mortis, test kidney in dead, urine and blood in live- metabolic acidosis
What is 2,4-D
phenoxy derivatives of fatty acids- amides and benzoicacids- herbicides
How to get toxicosis from 2,4-D
from freshly sprayed lawns or pastures- canines and bovines
Who has a shorter half life of 2,4-D in? Canine or bovine
Canine
Increasing pH of urine enhances excretion of 2,4-D, T or F?
true
MOA 2,4-D
uncouples oxidative phosphorylation to decrease ATP
CS ruminants and canines fr 2,4-D
ruminants- GIT
canines- GIT and neuro
Toxicity of paraquat/diquat
mod-high toxicity
What enhances toxicity of paraquat/diquat?
Vit E def, depletion of tissue glutathione and O2 therapy
Which is absorbed through GIT? Paraquat or diquat?
Paraquat- GIT, skin
Diquat- poorly through GIT
paraquat/diquat MOA
reduced by NADPH to produce single O causing free radicals and membrane damage
paraquat/diquat can have acute, delayed or chronic reactions, T/F?
true- acute GI signs
delayed are pulmonary signs
chronic pulmonary fibrosis
After 48 hrs post exposure what may be negative to test for paraquat/diquat?
Urine
What can you NOT give with paraquat/diquat toxicosis?
OXYGEN, give antioxidants!
T/F alkaline pH (especially in rumen) enhances hydrolysis of urea by urease to ammonia?
TRUE
What age is the MOST tolerant of NPN?
3-6 weeks old
MOA NPN
NH3 inhibits citric acid cycle -> lack of energy and decrease cellular respiration and tissue damage
NPN has a rapid onset of action? T/F
true
Clinical signs NPN
bloat, alkaline rumen, stasis, anorexia, teeth grinding, colic
What samples do you use to NPN?
feed, and NH3 in blood, freeze specimens immediately except blood
