Canine Flashcards
Phimosis
inability to extrude the penis due to constriction at the preputial orifice
paraphimosis
inability to retract the penis into the preputial cavity
balanoposthitis
inflammation of the penile (balanitis) and preputial (posthitis) mucosa
priapism
persistent abnormal erection of the penis in the absence of sexual stimulation, generally accompanied by pain and tenderness
systolic murmur on left side between 2nd and 4th intercostal space
pulmonic stenosis
aortic stenosis
systolic murmur heard on the left between the 2nd and 5th ICS or at the thoracic inlet
mitral dysplasia
murmur heard on the left side between the 5th and 6th ICS
tricuspid dysplasia
heard on the right at 5th-6th ICS
which dog breeds have a higher incidence of mammary tumors
GSD, spanials, pointers, poodles, daschunds and yorkshires
which breed has a genetic predisposition to pulmonic stenosis
beagles
which dog breed is predisposed to arrhythmogenic righ ventricular cardiomyopathy
boxers
which breeds are predisposed to developing lymphoma
boxers, basset hounds and rottweilers
which animals are unseasonally monoestrous
dogs
how many heat cycles do dogs have per year
2
which breeds have a predilection to aortic stenosis (systolic murmur on the left side between the 2nd and 5th ICS
large breeds – newfoundlands, GSD, golden retrievers, boxer and rottweilers
class 1 heartworm disease
asymptomatic to mild case with no radiographic or lab abnormalities
class 2 heartworm disease
moderate with occasional coughing and mild-to-moderate exercise intolerance. PE may have slight loss of body condition and increase lung sounds. radiographic changes – right ventricular enlargement. lab results may show anemia and proteinuria
class 3 heartworm disease
severe. weight loss, exercise intolerance and tachypnea at rest. look for severe or persistent cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, fainting and ascites. severe rad abnormalities with right ventricular hypertrophy, enlargement of main pulmonary artery and diffuse pulmonary densities. lab – anemia, thrombocytopenia, and proteinuria
class 4 heartworm disease
caval syndrome – acute shock like presentation. acute collapse, hemoglobinuria, resp distress.
progressive retinal atrophy
gradual onset blindness
dilated pupils, poorly responsive to light
fundic exam – bilateral tapetal hyper-reflectivity and non-tapetal depigmentation
sudden acquired retinal degeneration
middle aged to older dogs, associated with metabolic abnormalities
canine acanthomatous amelobalastoma can also be referred to as
epulis - benign oral tumor of the periodontal ligament
aggressively invade local tissues
surgical removal
common complication after removing an insulinoma
pacreatitis
treatment of choice for atlantoaxial instability/subluxation
ventral cancellous bone graft and transarticular pinning
what occurs with damage to the abducens (CN6) nerve
ipsilateral medial strabismus (innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye)
what muscles does the oculomotor nerve innervate
medial, dorsal and ventral rectus and ventral oblique muscle
what does damage to the oculomotor nerve cause (N3)
ventrolateral strabismus
