what are the types of vagal indigestion of cows
- type 1: can’t burp- esophageal obstruction,cervical mass, free gas bloat:tetanus, frothy bloats
- type 2: foailure of omasal transport: hardware disease, liver abscess, cancer
- type 3: pyloric outflow obstuction- abomasal ulcer/adhesion, displacement, sand impaction

type 2 vagal indigestion
- failure of omasal transport: fluids do not leave reticulo-rumen
- mild acid-base electrolyte abnormalities (type 3 has severe)
- papple
type 3 vagal indigestion
- pyloric outflow not working
- can be very large (papple?)
- internal vomiting: abdomasal contents move into rumen. Increases the rumen Cl= lowCl in blood causing alkalosis
- Cl in abomasum is usually reabsorbed in the duodenum. In type 3, Cl instead moves into the rumen
- H ions from the abomasum are usually buffered in duodenum by pancreatic and duodenal bicarb
- because the cow has low Cl, the anion is replaced by making bicarb by renal mechanisms to maintain neutrality= becomes alkalotic
- paradoxic aciduria: cow is hypovolemic, kidneys try to save Na to keep water, that means Na is traded for H= acid urine
- Treatment: IV fluids high in Cl (KCl 50-100 gram per L of NaCl), usually 2ndary to peritonitis, can cause Afib (usually does not need to be treated- will resolve)
why will type 3 vagal indigestion cause paradoxic aciduria
type 3: pyloric outflow blocked= Cl into rumen= becomes alkolytic
* will become hypovolemic, low Cl, lowK as water is pulled into rumen.
* kidneys will try to maintain blood pressure by keeping Na, they will exchange H, making acidic urine

explain why to give gonadotropin releasing hormone followed by prostaglandin in 15 days to a cow in anestrus with a 3cm cystic structure on the ovary
aimed at resolving ovarian cysts and synchronizing estrus.
Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH): Action on the Ovary:
- GnRH stimulates the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary.
- This induces one of two possible outcomes for the cystic structure:
- If the cyst is a follicular cyst (a fluid-filled, non-ovulatory follicle), the LH surge can either: Trigger ovulation of the cyst if it is still capable of ovulating. Luteinize the cyst, transforming it into a corpus luteum (CL), which produces progesterone and stabilizes the hormonal environment.
- If the cyst is a luteal cyst (a partially luteinized cyst), GnRH helps maintain luteinization, ensuring the cyst regresses normally.
Effect on Anestrus:
GnRH resets the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, promoting a new follicular wave and preparing the cow for synchronization.
Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) 15 Days Later
Action on the Corpus Luteum (CL):
- If the cyst was luteinized by the GnRH, PGF2α induces luteolysis, breaking down the CL and reducing progesterone levels.
Effect on Estrous Cycle:
- With the CL regressed and progesterone levels falling, the cow enters proestrus, allowing follicular growth and estrogen production.
- Estrus and ovulation typically follow within 2-5 days, depending on the stage of the follicular wave.
Orf (contagious ecthyma) in sheep typically resolves on its own within 2-4 weeks, but supportive care is essential to manage symptoms, prevent secondary infections, and reduce suffering.
- parapoxvirus
- It is a zoonotic virus that primarily affects sheep and goats
- other species (horses, cattle, pigs) are generally unaffected
primary photosensitization
- lush clover, buckwheat, and ryegrass—all of which are known to contain photodynamic agents (such as furocoumarins).
- Droopy ears, squinting, and rubbing their heads on objects are consistent with irritation and pain caused by photosensitization.
- Edema, erythema, exudate, and matting of hair, especially on areas with less pigmentation (ears, eyelids, lips), are hallmark signs of photosensitization.
- Animals with white faces are more severely affected because depigmented skin is more prone to damage by UV light.
