19
Q

What are predisposing factors of greasy pig disease?

A

Other skin lesions, poor nutrition/husbandry, lacerations

This can be fatal in neonatal pigs

20
Q

You see on your cows and your sheeps..

Pustules, exudate, matted hair/wool, and alopecia on their backs and distal extremities

A

Dermatophilosis

21
Q

What are predisposing factors to dermatophilosis ?

A

Wet weather/humid climate (rain rot)

-prolonged wetting skin allows penetration of epidermis by zoospores

22
Q

Dermatophilosis is caused by???

A

Dermatophilus congolensis

Gram + filamentous bacteria
Train track appearance

23
Q

In a dog you see..

Scaling, erythematous macules, papules, crusts, epidermal collarettes, and alopecia

A

Canine superficial spreading pyoderma

24
Q

What is your DDX for canine superficial spreading pyoderma?

A

Dermatophytosis (ring worm)

Demodicosis

25
Q

What diagnostics would help you differentiate dermatophytosis vs demodicosis ?

A
Cytology of pustule/crust 
-neutrophils with cocci 
Woods lamp -> ringworm with fluorescence 
Fungal culture 
Skin scraping -> demodex
26
Q

Demodicosis is caused by

A

Demodex spp mite

27
Q

What two forms of demodex can dogs have

A

Localized - face and forelegs (usually in young dogs, self traumatizing)

Generalized (adult onset- associated with systemic disease/neoplasia/endocrinpathy/immunosuppressive therapy)

28
Q

Dermatophytosis is caused by?

A

Keratinophylic fungi

  • Epiermophyton
  • Microsproum
  • Trichophyton spp
29
Q

How do animals get a dermatophytosis infection

A

Contagious- aquired by contact with scales shed from infected animals

30
Q

What are predisposing factors do dermatophytosis infections

A

Young or immunosuppression
Hot/humid environments

Self-limiting disease in healthy animals

31
Q

Dog with pustular/exudative dermatitis

What is the pathological process and the most likely causes?

A

Inflammatory

DDX:
Bacterial eg. Staphylococcus
Fungal
Auto-immune

32
Q

What is a group of autoimmune diseases involving type II hypersensitivity against cell adhesions proteins

A

Pemphigus

33
Q

What is the most common/milder form of pemphigus

A

Pemphigus foliaceous

34
Q

Pemphigus foliaceous..
where is is usually localized?
What are the lesions?
What is it caused by?

A

Face, ears, footpads, and clawbeds

Vesicles, pustules, crusts, and ulcers

Spontaneous, drug-induced, or allergic skin disease

“Foliaceous feet face” - Dennis

35
Q

Pigs
Solid elevations less than 1cm

What pathological process dies this belong to and what is your DDX?

A

Disturbance of growth

Inflammatory

36
Q

Histopathology of a papule on a pig shows proliferative dermatitis with ballooning degeneration and intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies.

What is the most likely diagnosis ?

A

Swine-pox infection

37
Q

What is the sequence of lesions that arise due to pox viruses?

A

Macule -> papule -> vesicle -> umbiliated pustule -> crust

38
Q

What gene do pox viruses contain that leads to epidermal hyperplasia

A

Epidermal growth factor

39
Q

You have some livestock in your backyard and you see…

Lameness, anorexia, ptylasm… you investigate further cause thats just the kind of doctor you are…

You find ulcers on their feet, bullas/ulcers in their mouths

What pathological process is this and what’s your DDX?

A

Degeneration and necrosis
Inflammatory

Virus

  • herpes
  • pox
  • vesicular diseases (FMD, VSV, SVD, and VES)
40
Q

How do you differentiate a DDX between a group of viruses?

A

Lab testing
