10 – Pneumonia (Ruminants, Swine) Flashcards

1
Q

Shipping fever in cattle

A
  • *most common economically in Canada
  • Typically pattern is naïve stressed calves that are mixed with other calves
    o Viral infections reduce respiratory defenses
    o Secondary bacterial infections then lead to bronchopneumonia

Q

Shipping fever ‘steps’

A
  1. Stress (ex. off pasture into feedlots)
  2. Immune suppression
  3. Viral infection
  4. Impaired defenses: get secondary infection with a bacteria
  5. Bronchopneumonia
    *tend to not notice it until have bronchopneumonia

Q

Notes about culture for bronchopneumonia

A
  • Treatment with antibiotics can result in negative culture
  • H. somni: wimpy bacteria and often overgrown by other bacteria before testing complete
  • Sampling best done at edges of lesions
    o Centers can be colonized by secondary bacteria (Trueperella pyogenes)
    o May lead to chronic pneumonias

Q

Toxic lung disease: 3-methylindole toxicity (fog fever): ‘steps’ (CATTLE)

A

Q

Multiple disease presentations of lungworm in calves

A
  • Acute interstitial pneumonia in claves exposed to a field contaminated with large numbers of larvae
    o typically no adult worms seen in this condition
  • chronic infections in cattle with adult worms in bronchi
    o actively shedding into environment
  • ‘reinfection syndrome’
19
Q

‘reinfection syndrome’ in cattle with lungworm

A
  • Occurs when adult cattle are reintroduced to large numbers of larvae
    o Incites an acute onset of disease and NO adult worms may be grossly evident
20
Q

Mycobacterium bovis (bovine TB)

A
  • Zoonotic (IMMEDIATELY reportable)
  • farmed deer and elk can develop it, but tends to look more like abscesses with a softer more fluid exudate in centre
21
Q

Bovine TB grossly

A
  • Granuloma formation in lymph nodes (retropharyngeal and tracheobronchial) and lung
  • *number of granulomas can be very small (ex. 1)
22
Q

Aspiration pneumonia usually seen secondary to some other issue

A
  • Force feeding
  • Cleft palate
  • Recumbency

  • Wet
  • Failure to collapse

  • Ex. circovirus 2 or 3
