Auburn Respiratory (AH) Flashcards
Case 1: Feline, M, 8mo. Lethargy anorexia, high fever. Muffled lung sounds. Euthanized Red/yellow viscous fluid upon aspiration of chest. Spleen: white plaques on capsular surface. Diaphragm: white plaques. Kidney: white plaques. Intestines: white plaques on serosal surface. Lungs: pleural surface adhesion with white plaques and white plaques on pericardial surface.
Coronal virus FIP suspected.
Case 2: Young deer found dead after not doing well the previous morning. Cranioventral lungs were firm bilaterally. White caseous nodules were found in lung paranchyma. The larynx was found to have necrotizing laryngitis. Esophagous partially eroded. Red and gray hepatization.
Necrotizing laryngitis most likely came first leading to aspiration. Pasturella moltocida was cultured from the lung. Typical bronchopneumonia.
Case 3: Bovine, F, 8mo. Noted to be heaving during a routine vaccination work out. Owner reported that she appeared overheated. Initial gross findings: Autolysis. Thoracic cavity: lost of fluid, not able to determine source. Lungs: normal. Chronic fluid filled cavities with fibrinous exudative fluid. Wall of abscess fused with parietal pleura and visceral pleura of lungs.
Hardware Dz? Culture showed C. perfinge. Possible pulmonary abscess that ruptured. Pulmonary thrombus that ruptured? Hard to get a definitive Dx because of post mortem changes.
Case 4: 18 mo English setter with extensive hemorrhage presented with bloody saliva, trouble breathing and swelling under the chin, neck and oral cavity. Larynx was found to be swollen and hemorrhagic. Paricardial sac was found to be full of blood (cardiac tampynade). Patient had a history of prolonged bleeding during spay.
Rodenticide poisoning is most likely the cause → anticoagulation Other: snake bite, but no proof.
Case 5: 12yr old dog. Presented with Dypsnea. Euthanized. Lungs: cranially -dark, firm and meaty. Marked extensive cranioventral pneumonia. Kidneys: old infarct, previous episodes of polynephritis. Brain stem lesions inconclusive.
Bronchopneumonia from aspirations. Aerogenous portal of entry = fibrinous or suppurative
