c. gagging/reverse sneezing
The definitive diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is made with:
exclusion of other diagnoses
what antibiotic is used to treat secondary bacterial infection in CRS, is associated with causing esophageal strictures?
doxycycline
what disease process may be associated with nasal manifestations in dogs?
ehrlichia
diagnosis of tracheal/airway collapse includes all of the following except:
Radiographs
Bronchoscopy
MRI
Fluoroscopy - diagnosis of choice
MRI
The investigate canine epistaxis, of the diagnostics listed, which should be the first
BP
CT scan
Rhinoscopy
Sedated oral exam
Chemistry profile
BP - cheap, non invasive, do before sedation, easier, faster
what neoplasia is the most commonly identified nasal tumor type in dogs?
adenocarcinoma
definitive diagnosis of laryngeal paralysis requires
sedated laryngeal examination
ACVIM recommends the following testing for all cats with suspected bacterial upper respiratory infection
FELV and FIV virus antibodies in serum - tell if it is a secondary bacterial infection
ACVIM recommends that when using enrofloxacin it should be administered at 5mg/kg/24hr in cats to lessen the risk of
Retinal degeneration
Specific canine respiratory disease testing by molecular methods (PCR) and/or culture testing and/or viral serology is recommended by ACVIM under which of the following circumstances
evidence of an outbreak associated with dogs that frequent the same dog park
If bacterial canine infectious respiratory disease complex is suspected with associated systemic clinical signs (fever, lethargy), ACVIM recommends administration of ______(medication) for ______(duration)
Doxycycline for 7-10 days
A common complication of laryngeal disease in dogs is:
Aspiration pneumonia
Appropriate medications to consider to mitigate anxiety in an acutely distressed animal with laryngeal dysfunction include all of the following except:
Acepromazine
Butorphanol
Buprenorphine
Phenobarbital
Phenobarbital
Management of tracheal collapse includes all of the following except
Nebulization in a steam room
Weight loss
Antitussives
Stress reduction
Nebulization in a steam room
Grade 1 tracheal collapse is characterized by ___% reduction in luminal diameter
25%
Acute clinical signs of upper respiratory tract disease in cats is most often caused by
Calicivirus (FCV) and Herpesvirus (FHV-1)
T/F: With the exception of the canine distemper virus the immunity induced by vaccination does not prevent colonization and shedding of the organisms and clinical signs of disease can develop in vaccinated dogs
true
If history, physical exam, complete blood count (CBC) and thoracic radiographs support a diagnosis of pneumonia (inflammatory leukogram, alveolar lung disease, respectively) the ACVIM Working Group recommends the following:
Transtracheal, endotracheal or bronchoalveolar lavage sampling
Exudative effusions have the following characteristics
High total protein, high nucleated cell count
Optimal therapy for dogs and cats with pyothorax includes all of the following except:
Supportive care including oxygen and fluid therapy
Source control, including chest tubes and /or thoracotomy
Twice daily nebulization and coupage
Antimicrobial therapy, including aerobic culture
twice daily nebulization and coupage
Most common cause of chylothorax in dogs and cats
idiopathic
In dogs, a history of “cough” might suggest tracheobronchial disease, interstitial lung disease or pulmonary edema. In cats, a history of “cough” is most consistent with:
asthma
