A dog with severe dental plaque may be at risk for this disease?
Chronic ulcerative paradental stomatitis
15
The causative agent of oral necrobacillosis (calf diphtheria)?
Fusobacterium necrophorum
(also causes foot rot in ruminants)
16
This bacteria can invade oral wounds and cause granulomatous inflammation and fibrosis in the deep tissues of the tongue
Actinobacillus lignieresii
(wooden tongue)
17
Name disease and causative agent:
chronic granulomatous inflammation of the mandible; can have draining tracts with "sulfur granules"
Lumpy Jaw
Actinomyces bovis
18
T/F: the causative agent of thrush is a common oral inhabitant
True (Candida albicans)
19
Name two drugs which are known to induce gingival hyperplasia. Tx?
Amlodipine & cyclosporine
No need to treat; will resolve when drugs are stopped
20
T/F: Thrush is NOT a primary disease
True! (secondary to debility or long-term antibiotic therapy)
21
Describe the differences in squamous cell carcinoma behavior in dogs vs. cats
Dogs--commonly affects the tonsils and metastasizes
Cats--usually on the tongue and metastasis is more rare
22
Which oral neoplasm appears aggressive from a histological standpoint but doesn't behave aggressive and does not metastasize
Oral (extramedullary) plasmacytoma
23
Name the two subclassifications of epulides; Which is more locally invasive and can lead to bone destruction?
1) Fibromatous epulis
2) Acanthomatous epuli (locally invasive)
24
Define sialodenitis;
Name 4 things that can cause it
inflammation of salivary glands;
1) Rabies
2) distemper (dogs)
3) Strangles (horses)
4) Vitamin A deficiency
25
Define: Ranula
dilation of the duct of the sublingual salivary gland
26
How does a salivary mucocele (sialocele) form?
When a salivary duct is torn or ruptured, the salivary secretions drain into the subcutaneous tissues
27
Which esophageal sphincter is affected in cricopharyngeal achalasia?
Upper esophageal sphincter (doesn't relax properly)
28
Name the 3 vascular structures that trap the esophagus in persistant right aortic arch
1) aorta
2) pulmonary artery
3) ductus arteriosus
29
Name 2 important parasites of the esophagus
Gongylonema spp.
Spirocerca lupi
30
Two neoplasms that can develop in dogs infected with spirocerca lupi
Fibrosarcoma
Osteosarcoma
31
Name two mechanisms by which hypersecretion of acid could occur in the stomach
1) gastrinoma
2) mast cell tumors
32
Name the 2 primary ways gastric ulcers form
1) hypersecretion of acid
2) injury to protective layer (epithelium) allowing back-diffusion of acid
33
Describe 3 ways a pig's diet can predispose to ulcer formation
1) diet contains too much corn (wheat and oats are better)
2) Food is fine & dry (moist and coarse is better)
3) diet contains too many unsaturated FAs
34
Contrast primary and secondary gastric dilation in horses
Primary-->due to overeating (lush pastures, grain, excess water)
Secondary-->caused by gastric ulcers, neoplasia, pyloric stenosis, cribbing
35
Describe the pathophysiology behind congeital aganglionic megacolon in foals
These foals have a mutation in the endothelin B receptor gene; a myenteric and submucosal plexus don't develop, causing the affected bowel segments to not have any peristalsis
36
Name 2 common locations that enteroliths get stuck in horses
1) pelvic flexure
2) transverse colon
37
Differentiate:
Trichobezoars & phytobezoars
Tricho--hair ball
Phyto--plant fibers
38
Concerning intussusception, what is the term given to the the piece of gut that is trapped; the part that's doing the trapping?
Intussusceptum--trapped part
Intussuscipiens--enveloping part
39
How can you differentiate true intussusception from post-mortem intussusception?
True-->enlarged, severely congested, and impossible to undo
Post-mortems aren't discolored and can easily be pulled apart
40
Causative agent of verminous arteritits
Strongylus vulgaris
41
Differentiate volvulus and torsion
Volvulus--twisting on its mesenteric axis
Torsion--rotation along the long axis
42
A common cause of PLE in dogs
Lymphangiectasis
43
Name the 4 basic mechanisms of diarrhea
1) hypermotility
2) increased permeability
3) Hypersecretion
4) Malabsorption
44
What 3 things influence the permeability of the gut wall?
1) pore size/mucosal integrity
2) osmotic factors
3) impaired lymphatic drainage
45
This organism can cause hypersecretory diarrhea

*non-inflammatory diarrhea*
46
Main cause of diarrhea in rotavirus infections?
malabsorption/maldigestion due to enterocyte death and shortening of affected villi
47
How do Clostridial toxins affect the gut?
causes enterocytes to undergo necrosis, they release from the basement membrane and slough into the lumen
48
