→ Ascites, torsion, obesity, pregnancy, obstipatio

32
Q

Palpation of the abdomen standpoints ?

A

Done in STANDING position, with one and two hands, SYSTEMATICALLY from cranial to caudal, superficial – deep. Starts with the relaxation of the dog/abdomen
→ Painfulness: Acute abdomen (Ileus, pancreatitis, urolithiasis, pyelonephritis, spinal cord, etc.)
→ Temperature
→ Abdominal wall Thickness, defance
→ Palpable digestive organs: Stomach after feeding only, liver, intestinal tract, (LN), (pancreas), foreign bodies, ball of faeces

33
Q

Percussion of the abdomen standpoints ?

A

Finger to finger
→ Abnormal findings: * organs filled with gas and/or fluid
* organ enlargement (local damping with fixed position)

Undulation test : is there fluid ?
→ Undulation/pseudo-undulation

→ Ascitis, FIP,
→ Obstipation, megacolon, ileus , …
→ Gastric torsion, intestine torsion, …
→ Cushing: enlarged liver, fat accumulation, abdominal wall: thin muscle layer and skin

34
Q

Detection of changes of normal sound
Splashing
Crepitation

35
Q

Examination of the anus ?

Rectal digital palpation
Rectal palpation (LA) : constipation, bones, prostate, LN
- Rectoscopy

36
Q

Visible abdominal pain symptoms in cattle ?

A

Kyphosis
Arched back
Forelegs wide apart, elbows turned out

37
Q

Anatomy changes of bovine stomach ?

A

Calf → Small reticulum; abomasum = 2xrumen
10-12 weeks → Abomasum = 1/2 rumen
4 months → Rumen + reticulum = 4x (omasum+abomasum)
6 month → considered as polygastric (sometimes often later)
18 months → full capacity 135-180L

38
Q

Localisation of abdominal organs in cattle ?

A

Rumen : 80% LHS
Reticulum : 50% middle of abdomen, to the left, xyphoid process, 6-9th ICS
Omasum : 7-8% RHS, ventral, 6-9 ICS
Abomasum : 8% in contact with abdominal wall, ventral

39
Q

Examination of rumen

A
  • Inspection – size, presence & grade of bloat (distension) : free gas, in small bulls, …
  • Palpation on the left flank – ruminal contraction/5 minutes and intensity (depending on the function of rumen and feeding content) – LHS – use 4 fingers
  • Percussion
  • Normal : Upper 1/3rd = mild tympanic // Ventral 2/3rd = dull (more fluid and food content)
  • Frothy bloat – gases are finely dispersed so sounds is mildly tympanic. Rumen receptors for eructation = sensitive to gas → solving the foamy form of gas automatically solves the eructation problem.
  • Auscultation – continuous mild crackling sound – gurgling fluid and booming gassy sounds : rumen motility
  • Other exams – ruminal fluid, rectal exams, rumenograph, rumenotomy (diagnostic/therapeutic – to extract piece of iron,…)
40
Q

Ruminal bloat standpoints ?

A

In calves – caused by putrefying milk (half apple in the left side)
Often alfalfa overfeeding – can be herd issue
Distended rumen on LHS

41
Q

Hoflund syndrome standpoints ?

A

Left side = half apple / right side = half pear
Anterior functional stenosis – often pinched N. Vagus → less ruminal movement – causes distended LHS flank. The ruminal content is cream-like, frothy (instead of crunchy, with pieces). The causing bacteria has crossed-reaction with Brucella : so when we have a positive sample to Brucella, first examine the animal to exclude this case.

42
Q

Overfeefing in cattle standpoints ?

A

Rumen content is fluid, yellow-like. Special sound of the ruminal content (watery-like when the animal is moving). Solve with nasogastric tube, careful of the high pressure content (use a large diameter, and direct the tube towards the floor, or there will be a risk to move the fluid in the trachea). Numerous animals are sick and have to be cured individually. Do not use antibiotics.

43
Q

Pain probes description (5) ?

A

To examine the RETICULUM pain
* Kalchschmidt probe (zone test) : end inspiration, start expiration : scratch hair of flank- pain causes stopped expiration and grunts

  • Back grip : end expiration – lift skin of back – causes grunts
  • Knee-elbow test : slowly lift fist into abdomen, and suddenly release it back. Take care of breeding bulls, high productive diary cows (painful milk vein)
  • Pain percussion : rubber hammer – tap on opposite side to accustom the animal, then on reticulum
  • Pole test : lift pole from rear on both sides – move forward and await grunts
44
Q

Additional exams for reticulum ?

A
  • Blood counts
  • Glutaraldehyde test – over 1.5 years – 5ml in 20ml syringe with 5 ml blood – if coagulates in 20 sec – shows inflammation – abnormal albumin: globulin levels
  • Abdominocentesis – but cattle blood rich in fibrinogen (Healthy – white / Peritonitis – mix of few drops with 3-5ml acetic acid and 100 ml water)
  • Rumenotomy
45
Q

How to check if content passes through omasum ?

A

Give CuSO4 then 10 min later take abdominal centesis

46
Q

Abomasal dislocations standpoints ?

A

Caused by gas

  • Auscultation - tinkling sound
  • Auscultation with ballottement – splashing sound
  • Auscultation with percussion – steel band effect – metallic
  • RHS – 10% - RDA – poor prognosis
  • LHS – 90% - LDA – better prognosis → abomasocentesis
47
Q

Colic in horses symptoms ?

Either restlessness (→  pain later – Torsion) or restlessness and pain started together
Eating issue/e teeth issue 
Do not allow rolling!
