30
Q

How do you treat Angiostrongylus vasorum?

A

  • Plasma transfusion in bleeding dogs
31
Q

What clinical signs are common with Aelurostrongylus abstrusus infection?

A
  • Asymptomatic
  • mild C
  • severe - bronchopneumonia, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, death
32
Q

What diagnostic tests can be used to diagnose Aelurostrongylus abstrusus?

A
  • Rads - miliary interstitial pattern, alveolar pattern if severe
  • Definitive parasite ID –> fecal analysis, PCR on BAL
  • BAL - eosinophilic, larvae may be present
33
Q

How do you treat Aelurostrongylus abstrusus?

A

Txt: Fenbendazole, Milbemycin oxime, Moxidectin

34
Q

Eosinophilic bronchopneumopathy is due to

A

eosinophilic infiltrate in the lungs causing an autoimmune infection in dogs

35
Q

What are clinical signs of eosinophilic bronchopneumopathy?

A
  • Harsh cough
  • dyspnea
  • tachypnea
  • exercise intolerance

  • crackles & wheezes
36
Q

How do you diagnose eosinophilic bronchopneumopathy?

A
  • Signalment (Siberian huskies, Alaskan malamutes, Rotties), often young females
  • hematology: +/- eosinophilia
  • Imaging: Rads/CT
  • bronchoscopy
  • BAL
  • Absence of parasites or neoplasia –> imaging, fecal, other parasite tests
37
Q

How do you treat eosinophilic bronchopneumopathy?

A
  • Glucocorticoids (IC, long-term)
  • Fenbendazole to exclude parasites

38
Q

Cardiogenic pulmonary oedema causes an increase in…

A

hydrostatic pressure

39
Q

Non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema causes
