remains a difficult condition to treat

When the GI tract is open, a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against _____ (+/-) bacteria should be given.
gram-negative
examples of broad-spectrum antibiotics effective against gram-negative bacteria
penicillins, such as ampicillin, amoxicillin, carbenicillin, sulcarcillin, mezlocillin, piperacillin, apacillin, and asparticillin
2 common nsaids given
flunixin meglumine,
meloxicam
a paralysis on common fibular nerve that affects patient’s ability to lift the foot at the ankle
peroneal paresis
recumbency that allows better exteriorization of the jejunum and the exploratory seems
sternal recumbency
For the more frantic cattle, the dose of ketamine can be increased to ____ to ____ mg/kg
1.1 to 2.2 mg/kg
3 drugs in ketamine stun
butorphanol 0.025 mg/kg,
xylazine 0.05 mg/kg,
ketamine 0.5 mg/kg
surgical site is clipped using a clipper with a No. ___ blade
40
nerves anesthetized in distal and Proximal paravertebral block
T13, L1, and L2
drug that speeds up the onset of anesthesia and provides a mild sedative effect
xylazine
what is superior to iodine in the face of organic materia
Chlorhexidine
most frequent problem involving the abomasum is the ____
displacement
displacement that could lead to abomasal volvulus
right displaced abomasum
less frequent displacement
right displaced abomasum
this surgical technique can only be used with an LDA
Left para-lumbar fossa (abomasopexy)
commonly performed on cattle with
displacement while in late gestation
Left para-lumbar fossa (abomasopexy)
ideal surgical approach for abomasal volvulus
Right para-lumbar fossa (omentopexy/pyloropexy)
approach that allows for the most
thorough abdominal exploration
right flank approach
this surgical procedure is performed when the omentum is friable, overly fat, or torn
pyloropexy
segment most frequently affected by intussusception
jejunum
prognosis of Intussusception
guarded
prognosis for both types of volvulus is
guarded to poor
prognosis for Hemorrhagic bowel syndrome
poor;
better prognosis in massaging than resection and anastomosis
prognosis for Duodenum sigmoid flexure volvulus
good
prognosis for Internal herniation if jejunum is viable at time of surgery
good
condition that occurs more frequently
during winter time
impaction
prognosis for impaction
good
dilated organ that can be recognized on transrectal examination
cecum (dislocation)
shown to be a predisposing factor to
cecal problems
hypocalcemia
recurrence rate of this intestinal illness is high
cecal dilatation
