Q

Why might an estimate of litter size in early pregnancy be inaccurate?

It may be an overestimation, since fetal resorption is relatively common.

Q

Radiographic signs of fetal demise

A
  • gas within or around the fetus
  • spalding sign (overlapping of cranial bones)
  • tightly curled fetus
  • collapse of the skeleton

It can be helpful to compare to other littermates; if there is delayed development of one, it is an indication of demise.

29
Q
A

Dystocia in a dog due to a single fetus that has grown to a size that cannot pass through the pelvic canal

29
Q
A

Dystocia in a dog due to a fetus presenting transversely

30
Q

Which cause of dystocia cannot be diagnosed radiographically?

A

uterine inertia

31
Q

What are the main causes of feto-maternal disproportion?

A
  • If the dog is mated with a much larger breed
  • if a single fetus remains/exists
  • brachys, when head is large and pelvis flat
32
Q

what other anomaly is common in association with uterine anomalies?

A

renal agenesis

33
Q

why and when does cystic endometrial hyperplasia occur?

A

it’s the result of an abnormal response of the endometrium to progesterone that is secreted during the luteal phase (diestrus)

34
Q

How long is each stage of the estrus cycle?

A
35
Q
A

pyometra

36
Q
A

cystic endometrial hyperplasia

36
Q

uterus

A

cystic endometrial hyperplasia

37
Q

uterine horn

A

pyometra; dependent material (pus)

38
Q
A

uterine abscess from retained swab after c-section

39
Q

What is the most common and second most common uterine neoplasia in dogs?

A

Leiomyomas

Leiomyosarcomas are much rarer

40
Q

What is the most common and second most common uterine neoplasia in cats?

A

Adenocarcinoma

41
Q

If there is unilateral uterine distension, what are the differentials?

A

neoplasia, polyps, but also pyometra (unilateral is possible)

42
Q

With what conditions is uterine torsion associated?

A

pyometra
hematometra
endometrial polyps

42
Q
A
43
Q

What is the prognosis of uterine torsion?

A

poor; high fatality rate due to peritonitis and endotoxemia

44
Q

what kind of contrast medium is used for retrograde vaginography?

A

iodinated (150-200 mg I/mL

44
Q
  1. What condition is NOT associated with uterine torsion?
    a. Pyometra
    b. Hydrometra
    c. Hematometra
    d. Endometrial polyps
A

b. Hydrometra

45
Q

Where should the tip of the catheter be, during a retrograde vaginogram?

A

within the VESTIBULE, not vagina (risk of rupture) - because if the tip is in the vagina, then the balloon will be in the orifice between vagina and vestibule (the cingulum), and then administration of contrast can result in rupture

46
Q

How much contrast for a vaginogram?

A

approx. 1 ml/kg

47
Q
A

Normal vaginogram; When the vagina and vestibular are maximally disternded, contrast will fill the urethra.

Vg - vagina
U - urethra
Vb - vestibule
F - Foley

48
Q

What is the cingulum?

A

Normal narrowing between the vestibule and vagina

49
Q

If a vaginogram is performed during estrus, what would you expect to happen with contrast?

A

It may pass into the uterus.

50
Q

What are the most common vaginal tumours in dogs?

A

Leiomyomas and fibromas
Vaginal polyps are common in older dogs, occurring in the late part of the estrous cycle.

51
Q

What should be a suspicion if a malignant neoplasia is observed in the vagina?

A

That it is urethral in origin; Urethral neoplasia is usually malignant and may extend into the vagina/vestibule. Vaginal tumours are usually benign.

52
Q

Vaginal prolapse is seen mostly in ___________ during ________.

A
  • young, intact, large-breed dogs
  • proestrus or estrus , or near/after parturition
53
Q

A mass lesion in the vagina/vestibula in a young dog might represent ________ and in an old dog, ___________.

A

edema, prolapse

neoplasia

54
Q

ovary - normal or abnormal? what phase?

A

normal anestrus; hypoechoic and homogenous without visible follicles.

55
Q
A

cat with small mineralized suture granulomas at the site of ligation of the ovarian pedicles following an ovariohysterectomy.

56
Q
  1. In which estrus cycle phase do follicles form?
    a. Proestrus
    b. Estrus
    c. Diestrus
    d. anestrus
A

a. Proestrus

57
Q

In which phase of the cycle are ovaries identified more easily?

A

Proestrus and estrus

58
Q

What is the normal size of ovarian follicles?

A

4-6mm, with a wall <1mm

59
Q

Ovarian follicles are initially too small to see, but they grow until the time of ovulation. When are they first seen?

A

1-3 days before ovulation

60
Q

How many ovarian follicles are usually seen?

A

3-5

61
Q

What happens to the follicles after ovulation i.e. what is the appearance?

A

They are replaced by slightly hypoechoic areas, which likely represent a combination of haemorrhage and follicular fluid

62
Q

Newly formed corpora lutea and follicles have distinct appearances = T or F?

A

False, their appearance is very similar, and B-mode US alone cannot determine whether ovulation has occurred.

63
Q

How would Doppler US help determine whether ovulation has occurred in a dog?

A

Daily monitoring of the proestrus ovary > detecting increases in blood flow, which would correlate with ovulation

64
Q
A

ovarian carcinoma, contains severeal hypoechoic fluid-filled regions

65
Q

ovary

A

granulosa cell tumour, it is more homogenous in appearance usually (than a carcinoma)

66
Q

Which type(s) of tumor account for 40-50% of canine ovarian tumours?

A

papillary adenomas and adenocarcinomas

67
Q

Papillary adenomas and adenocarcinomas account for ___% of canine ovarian tumours?

A

40-50
