Q1 Exam 2 Flashcards
(80 cards)
diastolic murmurs
A/P regurg or mitral/tricuspid stenosis
systolic murmurs
A/P stenosis or mitral/tricuspid regurge
splashing
washing machine murmur, pericarditis
atrial fib
most common arrythmia in cattle, often just secondary to GI disease and electrolyte imbalances
bradyarrhythmia
electrolyte abnormalities (potassium) also secondary to GI disease
how to treat hyperkalemia
fluids, insulin/dextrose, bicarb, and calcium gluconate (cardioprotective)
how does pericarditis happen in SR?
usually secondary to severe pneumonia and septicemia
common valve and bacteria associated with endocarditis
tricuspid (again right sided)
ruminants: truperella pyogenes (+ streptococcus)
swine: erysipelothrix (+ strep suis)
what can cause DCM in cattle?
genetic in red holstein, curly hair coat
toxic: ionophores, gossypol, cassia, phalaris
nutritional: white muscle, copper
cardiac troponin I
measures degree of ONGOING myocardial damage
nutritional myodegeneration
selenium/vit E deficiency in young, rapidly growing animals turned out to pasture
no treatment once cardiac
mulberry heart
nutritional myodegeneration in pigs (usually fastest growing pigs) causes pinpoint hemorrhage (“mulberry”)
cor pulmonale
associated with high mountain disease of cattle above 6000ft, hypoxic vasoconstriction causes PA hyperplasia, can PAP test to ID breeding stock (also avoid locoweeds)
eisenmenger syndrome
l-r shunt switches to r-l shunt and causes cyanosis
vsd
occurs alone, most common defect, right sided holo-pan systolic leads to left volume overload (limousine and herefords)
patent foramen ovale
causes ASD in cattle, bypass lungs in fetal circulation
three anatomical factors predisposing cattle to respiratory disease
small lung field, tracheal bronchus, small pores of kohn
tetrology of fallot
pulmonary stenosis, thick right ventricular wall, VSD, overriding aorta causes cyanosis and exercise intolerance
stridor vs stertor
harsh and high pitched from narrowing vs low pitched snore from vibration of softer things (swelling/secretions)
three common causes of a high A-a gradient?
V/Q mismatch (pneumonia), diffusion impairment (alveoli remodeling), right to left shunt
oestrus ovis
nasal bot, larvae persist in upper airways for months, treat with ivermectin
nasal adenocarcinoma
oncogenic retrovirus ONAV or CNAV, proliferation of secretory epithelial cells, benign, on do surgery if caught early
two sequelae of pharyngeal trauma and treatment
necrotic laryngitis (calf diphtheria with signs of septicemia) and pharyngeal abscess, need to cover anaerobes so tulathromycin or florfenicol
sinusitis
caused from dehorning too late, into cornual sinus, long road to treat with repeated lavages and nuflor
