Q

Otitis treatment with gram + bacteria:

A

Wash so the AB can reach the bacteria.

Ear drop with:

  • Gentamicin – ototoxic – check membrane!!
  • Polymyxin-b– check membrane!!
17
Q

What can you use if the tympanic membrane is damaged?

A
  • Orbifloxacin
  • Marbofloxacin
  • Florfenicol

Systemic - same as pyoderma

18
Q

Otitis treatment with gram - bacteria: (local)

A

Pseudomonas:
Local cleaner–kill biofilm
- EDTA + combination with chlorhexidine

Local (ear drop)

  • Gentamicin (1st) – check membrane
  • Tobramycin(1st) - check membrane
  • Polymyxin-b
  • Marbofloxacin

Systemic:
-Glucocorticoids inj.

19
Q

Otitis treatment with gram - bacteria: (systemic)

A

Glucocorticoids inj. - if it is so painful that we can’t clean it. will reduce the swelling.

(After test )
Per os: ciprofloxacin (1st)&raquo_space;marbofloxacin&raquo_space; enrofloxacin (cats very harmful!! – retinopathy )

20
Q

Gram + bacteria causing otitis:

A

Staphylococcus pseudintermedius
(+ others)
Streptococcus canis
Streptococcus otitis

21
Q

Gram - bacteria causing otitis:

A

Pseudomonas aeruginosa

E.coli

22
Q

Mastitis is dogs and cats -

Pathogenic bacteria:

A
  • Staphylococcus spp. (g+)
  • Streptococcus spp. (g+)
  • E. coli (endotoxin – G-)
23
Q

If the mastitis is caused by e.coli what medication should we give with the AB?

A

Meloxicam (NSAIDs) because it has antiendotoxic effect

24
Q

Systemic treatment of septic mastitis:

A

Amox + clav + enrofloxacin

25
Q

Why can we use amoxcillin inseptic mastitis if it does not penetrate the milk-blood barrier?

A

If the mastitis is septic the barrier are broken and the AB can reach it.

26
Q

Systemic treatment of non- septic mastitis:

A

TEST FIRST! YOU HAVE TIME!

AB that penetrate the Milk-blood barrier:

  • Clindamycin – lincosamides
  • Macrolides

Gram-negative
- Fluoroquinolones

27
Q

If the dog has puppies but need AB treatment what should we do?

A
  • Puppies will get the AB, so artificial milk are needed and milking out the milk.
  • If the owner don’t want to, diarrhea can happen (not good for baby pups :( )

-Fluoroquinolones – cartilage damage, not given under 1 year of age. (Off- label)

28
Q

When should we avoid usage of AB?

A

Milder cases that can be healed by them self, where bacteria is not present or no infective agents at all!

29
Q

Pathogens of gingivitis

A
  • Streptococcus spp.,
  • Pasteurella spp.,
  • Porphyromonas spp.

After a while :
Bacteroides spp., Fusobacterium spp., Porphyromonas spp., Prevotella spp.

30
Q

Treatment of gingivitis:

A

Amoxicillin + clavulanic acid (1st)
Metronidazole + spiramycin
Cefovecin – only if the other don’t work
Pradofloxacin, clindamycin and apiramycin – If the bones are infected- not amox!
