diseases of pregnancy Flashcards
define embryo
from when long axis develops to organogenesis
define foetus
from when organogenesis starts
define abortion
premature expulsion of foetus from uterus
which 4 species have a corpus leuteum throughout pregnancy
- cow
- goat
- dog
- pig
foetal death foetus can be (3)
- aborted
- still birth
- retained
retained foetuses can undergo (3)
- maceration
- mummification
- emphysema
define mummification (3)
- sterile
- all fluid are reabsorbed from foetus
- needs foetus skin to be developed enough to withstand autolysis
define maceration (3)
- bacterial infection causes liquefaction of foetus
- just bones left
- foetid odour
maceration complications
bones may damage uterine wall
foetal emphysema define (2)
- involves gas producing bacteria
- foetus putrefied and distended with foul smelling gas
3 main pathogens sheep abortion
- toxoplasma
- chlamydophila
- campylobacter
7 non-infectious causes of abortion
- dystocia
- twinning in mares
- umbilical cord anomalies
- placental insufficiencies
- stress
- nutritional
- husbandry
big cause of abortion in cattle
neospora caninum
toxoplasma gondii importance
zoonotic
toxoplasma gondii causes
toxoplasmosis
toxoplasma gondii appearance
strawberry pip appearance of cotyledons of multifocal necrosis
chlamydophila abortus causes
enzootic abortion
enzootic abortion appearance
thick oedementous intercotyledonary tissue of placenta covered with exudate
salmonellosis abortion diagnosis
foetal stomach contents culture
campylobacter foetus and abortion causes
multifoocal necrotising hepatitis
leptospira sp causes abortion in species
- horse
- cattle
- pigs
- sheep
oestrus and WBC
upregulates lymphocytes
true hermaphrodite has
both gonadal organs either 1 each or mushed into an ovariteste
pseudohermaphrodite have
only 1 set of gonads but does not match the system
4 types ovarian neoplasia
- secondary
- germ cell
- gonadal stromal
- epithelial
2 germ cell neoplasms
- dysgerminoma
- teratoma
2 epithelial neoplasias
- cystadenoma
- cystcarcinoma
appearance granulosatheca cell tumours
smooth surface with solid or cystic cut surface
appearance epithelial neoplasias
shaggy surface
define hydrosalphinx
fallopian tube filled with fluid
uterine prolapse and call out
emergency as can result in tissue death
oestrogen primed uterus predisposed to
growth disturbances
define endometritis
infection limited to uterine mucosa
metritis define
infection of all layers of uterus
metritis causes (3)
- haemorrhages
- thickened oedementous friable uterine wall
- yellowish dark red exudate with foul odour
leptospira sp appearance
- placental oedema
- subacute interstitial nephritis
- subacute necrotising hepatitis
leptospira sp and improtance
zoonotic
listerial abortion causes
- necrotising suppurative placentitis
- necrotising hepatitis
mycotic abortion cattle main cause
aspergillus fumigatus
appearance aspergillus fumigatus abortion
- thickened leathery placenta with exudate
- elevated greyish plaques on foetal skin and eyelid
pestivirus causes (4)
- persistant infection
- foetal death
- malformation
- cerebellar hypoplasia
define SMEDI
still born, mummification, embryonic death, infertility
most likely cause of SMEDI
parvovirus
