Q

How is progesterone related to pregnancy?

A

Progesterone required to maintain (> 2 ng/ml) preganancy but not markedly different than non pregnant females

2
Q

What signals parturition

A

Fetal:
Cortisol released from fetus increased maternal estrogen.
Increase in proteins for contraction and prostagladin release
PGE2 resultes in lysis of corups luteum which causes decrease in progesterone and increase in prolactin
Within 24 hours of progesterone drop.

3
Q

What stimulates oxytocin release

A

Released due to pressure placed on cervix and released from postieor pituitary

4
Q

What are the stages of parturition

A

1) 6-12 hrs, Increase PGF2 Alpha, Decrese progesterone
Sublinical contractions, cervix dilation, nesting
2) 2-12 hrs (cats up to 24 hrs); increase relaxin, oxytocin
Overt abdominal contractions / expulsion of fetus from vaginal canal
3) varies (5-15 minutes) Oxytocin
Placenta expulsion, uterine involution

5
Q

How do singletons increase risk of dystocia

A

less leutolytic hormone

No drop in prepartum progesterone

6
Q

What are the clinical categories for dystocia

A

8
Q

How do you categorize fetal presentation

Posture: How fetus head and limbs are positioned to its body
40% bor posterior position dogs

9
Q

What are maternal causes for dystocia

young primiparous bitches

2-4 weeks post partum most common

17
Q

What is the treatment for eclampsia and side effects

A

10% calcium gluconate 1.0-1.5 ml/kg d 2.5 ml/kg cat over 30 minutes
Vomit, bradycardia, QT shortenng, arrhythmia if given too fast

18
Q

Why are steroids contraindicated in ecamplsia treatment

A

Decrease Ca absorption in GI
enhance renal excretion of Ca
Impair osteoclasia

19
Q

Define metritis

A

ascending bacterial infection associated with partuition. Occurs with low serum progesterone

20
Q

What are the risk factors with metritis

A

abortion, dystocia, obstruction, obsetric manipulation, retained fetus / placenta, urterine prolapse

21
Q

What are the common types of bacteria with metritis?

A

E. Coli, Staphylococcus, streptococcus, proteus

22
Q

What is the return to fertility with metritis

A

Good as not associated with underlying uterine pathology like pyometra

23
Q

How does mastitis occur in dogs

A

ascending infection

Also reported in pseudopregnancy, blastomycosis and myobacterium

24
Q

Does normal milk contain bacteria

A

Yes- small amounts, slightly acidic

25
Q

How can milk pH help determine antibiotic

A

Acidic- TMS (if pups are not going to nurse)
Alkaline- Amoxi/clav
Any- enrofloxacin

26
Q

How do you treat non septic non systemically ill mastitis

A

Warm compress, analgesia, Milk expression

27
Q

What are four reflexes to evaluate neonatal vigor

A

Dorsal stimulation
Righting reflex
Suckling reflex
Rooting reflex

28
Q

APGAR score what is it in dogs

A

7-10 no distress better survival than lower
4-6 moder; 0-3 severe
Assess Heart rate, respiratory rate/crying, reflex irritability, mobility, mm color

29
Q

What are the risks of ‘swing’ a neonate that is not breathing

A

head trauma, dropping, aspiration of stomach contents

30
Q

What is the cause of bradycardia in neonates

A

hypoxemia, hypothermia

Not vagally mediated as does not there until > 4 days of life

31
Q

What is normal USG

A

1.006- 1.007; glucose and protein found in urine as renal tubules not developed

32
Q

What is anasacara

A

congenital edema with or without heart disease

Subq edema, intrathoracic / abdominal fluid accumulation

33
