Scurvy

humans, primates, guinea pigs

24
Q

A dog presents with a flexible jaw. You determine that there has been alot of fibrous CT layed down instead of bone. What is the likely DDX?

A

Fibrous osteodystrophy d/t hyperPTH

25
Q
26
Q
A

Rickets- Costochondral jxn swellings aka ricketic rosary

27
Q

What should the vet check for?

A

hypertrophic osteopathy

thoracic rads for space occupying mass

28
Q

You observe bony proliferation w/o lysis on the periosteum. Likely DDX?

A

hypertrophic osteopathy

29
Q
A

hypertrophic osteodystrophy

30
Q
A

hypertrophic osteodystrophy

31
Q

A german shepherd presents w/ shifting limb lameness.

A

panosteitis

32
Q

A young dog presents for lameness

A

panosteitis

33
Q

A 5 mo old yorkie presents with lameness. DDX?

A

Legg-Perthes Disease

34
Q
A

Actinomyces bovis

Lumpy jaw= osteomyelitis

35
Q

Where in the bone is osteomyelitis most common and why?

A

physes

b/c blood vessels makes hair pin turn and leads to bacteria getting stuck in the vessel at the physis

36
Q

A foal comes in with a fever and depression. Why would this condition be recurrent?

A

Likely septicemic E.coli/salmonella osteomyelitis

Sequestrum of necrotic bone surrounded by infection causes recurrent infections

A

Salmonella dublin

vertebral osteomyelitis

38
