treatments/preventatives

18
Q

risks of being outdoors

A

infectious diseases and parasites
predators
poisonous substances
cars
damage from cats (bird predation)

19
Q

A

feline infectious peritonities (FIP)
feline leukemia virus (FELV)
feline panleukopenia (FPL)

rabies

20
Q

FPL

A

raccoons tend to carry
acute disease

21
Q

bacterial diseases

A

feline pneumonitis
cat scratch fever

22
Q

other medical problems (noninfectious)

A

feline urinary syndrome/urolithiasis: crystals in urinary tract
diabetes
allergies
hairballs
posions

23
Q

ME

A

metabolizable energy
GE-energy in feces, urine, gas

24
Q

GE

A

gross energy
can’t all be used by animal

25
Q

DE

A

digestible energy
GE-energy in feces

26
Q

do cats have a carb requirement

A

no
don’t have salivary amylase to break down starches

27
Q

protein

A

high requirement
25-30% suggested
won’t adjust to low protein diet, will break down muscle to meet amino acid requirement

28
Q

taurine

A

most animals produce it on their own, cat’s don’t
need it in diet, not in dog food (why cats shouldn’t eat dog food)
only present in animal products

29
Q

vitamin a

A

other animals can convert beta-carotene to vitamin a, cats can’t

30
Q

niacin

A

most animals can covert amino acid tryptophan, cats can’t

31
Q

thiamin

A

not usually deficient, if feeding diet high in raw fish will bind it, cause deficiency

32
Q

behavioral changes with estrus

A

constant calling
rolling
rubbing against objects
spraying
licking genital area
crouching/lordosis

33
Q

breeding considerations

A

best choice is selective breeding, should be good representatives of breed and free of hereditary defects
queen may still be in estrus when she gets home, could mate with other tom

34
Q

signs of pregnancy (early to mid gestation)

A

cycles stop
“pinking-up”, nipples swell and redden in about 3 weeks
weight gain up to 2 lb over whole gestation not unusual
swollen abdomen

A

nesting
milk leaking
pacing
panting
excessive grooming
temperature drop
contractions

36

atricial
eyes open after 10 days
double weight in first 2 weeks
ears open week 3, teeth may start to come in
start to move around weeks 3-4, start weaning shortly after
start socializing weeks 5-6
deworm at 6 weeks
first vaccinations at 7 weeks

37
Q

are sex-linked recessive traits seen more in males or females

A

males

38
Q

can an allele be dominant in some situations and recessive in others?

A

yes

39
Q
