another word for blood in feces
hematochezia
How is Dystemper vaccine given
SQ
FeLV prevalence is lower in purebred cats due to the weaker immunity decreasing clinical signs
False, lower prevalence of purebred animals is due to them living indoors

shared litter box
Hives are called what
Urticaria
What is the treatment for coccidiosis
Sulfonamides
Toltrazuril/diclazuril (Baycox)
What is a good screening test for hepatozoonosis
Radiographs for periostial reaction
How long after exsposure do clinical signs of rabies appear
3-8 weeks after exsposure
Why is FIP becoming more common
Stress of shelters more cats more contact with feces poor commercial diets Pure breeds have worse immunity Living longer (2nd spike at 10 yrs)
What is the therapy of choice for FeCoV
No real therapy exists
Symptomatic treatment:
glucocorticoids to decrease inflammation
INF-a, to increase cellular immunity (INF-w may help)
T/F
EB-1 vaccines are those which have undergone experimental trials in the laboratory setting
False, EB-1 is for multiple field trials
EB-2 is in the laboratory
Treatment for sporothrix
itraconazole and saturated KI (topical)
FeLV replicates in many tissues including:
Bone marrow
salivary glands
respiratory epithelium
What is the importance of replication in these tissues?
Bone marrow replication results in pancytopenia
Salivary and respiratory allows spreading of the virus
what antigin is in the bortatella vaccine
LPS from the cell wall
What vaccine can cause polyradiculoneuritis- Coonhound paralysis
Rabies derived from mouse brain
Pathogenesis of Cytauxzoonosis
Tick bite> macrophage (schizogenous reproduction to merozoites)> erythrocytes endocytose (piroplasms)
what is the outermost layer of the adrenal gland
glomerulosa
What fungal infection are cat’s particularly susceptible to
Sporotrichosis- Sporothrix schenkii
What hypersensitivity is complement mediated
Type 2
A dog presents with leg stiffness, neurologic signs and increased CK and AST. What is a protozoal differencial
Neospora caninum
What kind of virus is FIV
FIV is a lentivirus a class of retrovirus
hematochezia
blood in feces
many cats are FeCoV carriers, but don’t develope FIP. Why do some cats develop FIP
They lack the strong cellular response to clear the virus, and instead have a humoral response instead
The gold standard for diagnosing FIP is immunohistochemistry staining of effusion
false, not effusion, of histology sample
How do you diagnose Feline Panleukopenia
paired serology fecal antigen ELISA
Viral isolation
PCR of tissue or feces
What is the absolute gold standard for diagnosis FIP
Histopathology immunohistochemistry staining of biopasy
What vaccine-associated disease is noted in Akita dogs
Type 3 Immune-mediated polyarthritis- progressive resulting in euthanasia. From Modified Live vaccines (MLV)
FeLV is a retrovirus, why is this important
it incorporates into host DNA
T/F
You observe a fecal wet prep and observe something swimming straight. It may be Giardia
True, giardia swim straight
Which vaccines are more likely to result in a granulomatous cutaneous reaction
FeLV
Rabies
Giardia
When is the immunostimulant, Polyprenyl counter indicated
effusive FIP
Treatment for Cytauxzoonosis (2)
Imidocarb
Diminazene aceturate
If a vaccinated and current dog is bitten by rabid animal what should be done
Revaccinate immediately, observe for 45 days
What antigen is used to diagnose FeLV
P27 GAG protein
The lesion shown is suggestive of what feline disease
FeCoV- Feline corona virus infiltrating GALT tissues
Yellow pasty diarrhea is indicative of what organism
Coccidiosis
A cat gets out of the house and comes back with bites. When should you test for FIV antibodies
60 days after possible exposure
What is positive in the left test, the right?
Left is FeLV p-27 antigen
Right is FIV antibody
What is the asexual life stage of toxo
tachyzoite
What cells does FIV infect during the asymptomatic period
lymphocytes, monocytes/ macrophages, follicular dendritic cells,
astrocytes, brain microglial cells, bone marrow fibroblasts, megakaryocytes,
thymic epithelial cells, salivary epithelium
When should animals be vaccinated for rabies
16 weeks, then booster every 1 or 3 years
What are the treatements for coccidiosis
Treat coccidiosis with coccidiastat
Sulfonamides
Amprolium
Toltrasuril/diclazuril (Baycox)- 1 treatment
if a male and female cat are positive for FeCoV antibodies they should not be bred
false, it’s fine to breed them
FeLV, FIV and FeCoV/FIP vacines are dependant on what kind of immunity
CMI
What protozoal uses ruminants and related large animals as intermediate host
neosporum caninum- causes multifocal neurologic sings in the dog
What hypersensitivity is associated with CAV-1 or 2
Type 3 antibody/antigen complexes
Blue Eye
Which vaccines are linked to type one hypersensitivity
Rabies
CCoV
FeLV
Lepto
Nasal Bordetella
Possibly distemper
How is FIP prevented
Intranasal vaccine starting at 16 weeks, 2 doses three weeks apart
How do you prevent FIP
vaccinate with mutant virus
Which disease is more prevalent in indoor cats?
Outdoor?
Indoor FeCoV due to fecal contact
Outdoor FeLV due to fighting
What are the core dog vaccines
CDV - canine distemper
CAV-1 - for adenovirus 2 protection
