How long is proestrus?
10ish days
How long is estrus?
5-9 days
How long is diestrus?
Pregnant= 56 to 58 days
Not Pregnant= 60 to 100 days
How long is anestrus?
50ish days
Lab results for pyometra
Closed
- systemic inflam
- neutrophilia
Open
- normal WBC
- possible neutrophilia
Both
- dehydration marked by hyperproteinemia and azotemia
- elevated ALT and ALP if sepsis
- decreases SG if ecoli present
What med is given for medical management of pyo?
Prostaglandin
- increases uterine contractions
- decreases progesterone levels
6 guidelines to define dystocia
- no puppy 30 to 60 min w/ strong contractions
- no puppy 4 to 6 hr w/ weak contractions
- longer than 4 to 6 hr between puppies
- obviois maternal pain w/ no puppy
- temp drops below 100 and no puppy I’m 24 to 36hr
- peolonged gestation (>70 or 72 days beyond first breeding or >60 days beyond first day estrus)
Medical TX for dystocia
Oxytocin if uterine inertia or fatigue is expected bc it stimulates contractions
Uterine inertia vs fatigue
Inertia is failure of uterus to sustain contractions strong enough to expel the fetus. Fatigue is when contractions are pushing against a situation that is not conductive to normal deliver.
Early CS if eclampsia
Nervousness Agitation Irritability Pacing Panting Whining
Moderate CS eclampsia
Ataxia
Pain
Ptyalism
Late CS of eclampsia
Muscle spasms Muscle fasiculations Highly sensitive to noise and touch Pyrexia Tachycardia
Acute Kidney Injury caused by 3 things
Infectious agents
Toxins
Ischemia
AKI
What does decreased glomerular filtration mean/result in?
More toxins in blood stream -> damages renal tubules so normal secretion and absorption of water and electrolytes happen -> less urine is produced, GI mucosa is damaged, gastrin lvl increases
AKI
Electrolyte abnormalities
Increased P and K because they can’t be excreted
AKI
Reasons for diuretics and vasodilators
Increase blood flow to kidneys and increase urine flow
Ethylene glycol:
Stage 1 time and CS
30min to 12hr
ataxia, lethargy, PU/PD, vomiting
