IBD
Lymphangiectasia

18
Q

Diet responsive enteropathy

A

Diarrhea secondary to dietary Ag
Young dogs or cats
Food intolerance and hypersensitivity

19
Q

Skin CS for food hypersensitivity

A

Pruritus (facial, pedal)
Otitis externa
Self trauma → pyoderma
Miliary dermatitis

20
Q

GI CS for food hypersensitivity

A

V/D, borborygmus, flatulence, abdominal pain, WL

21
Q

Diet responsive enteropathy dx

A

C-reactive protein
intra-dermal skin test
Dietary trial
Indirect tests: cobalamin, food specific IgE and IgG

22
Q

Tx for Diet responsive enteropathy

A

Restricted diet
Skin lesions: baths, fish oil, ketoconazole, antihistamines

23
Q

Abx responsive diarrhea (ARD)/ SI bacterial overgrowth

A

Bacterial overgrowth
Caused by: EPI, partial intestinal obstruction, pancreatitis, CIE, neoplasia, dietary responsive enteritides

24
Q

CS in dogs with Abx responsive diarrhea

A

Young
Chr. intermittent diarrhea, WL, borborygmus, flatulence, vomiting, ↑ urgency/ frequency

25
Q

Pathogenesis of Abx responsive diarrhea

A

↑ bacterial numbers in SI: ↑ competition for nutrients and by-products of metabolism and damage to mucosal brush border

26

31
Q

DX CIE

A

Stress leukogram, non-regen anemia
↓ cholesterol, albumin, globulin, hypocalcemia
