20
Q

Hypoglycemia- Division 1

A

Disorders that promote rapid glucose removal form serum

  • Insulinoma (tumor)
  • Polycythemia/^RBC production (utilize all glucose)
21
Q

Hypoglycemia- Division 2

A

Disorders that are associated with a failure to produce or secrete glucose

  • Neonate/Toy breeds (low glucose storage)
  • Hunting Dog Hypoglycemia (need extra food for energy)
22
Q

Primary effects of Hypoglycemia

A

Muscle/skell weakness

Nervous system- lethargy, ataxia, Fly bitting and star gazing

23
Q

Hypoglycemia Tx goal

A

50-100mg/dl of glucose

24
Q

Esophageal FB Tx

A

Push FB to stomach and remove or remove with scope and foreceps
**avoid cutting into esophages

25
Q

GI FB Tx

A

R/O other dz first. Then sx if item wont pass.

26
Q

GDV Tx

A

Stabilization with Hypertonic Saline Solution fluids, followed by maintance fluids.
Sx- Gastric derotaion with spleenectomy and gastropexy

27
Q

Pancreatitis Dx

A

PLI test- pancreatic lipase immumoreactivity test
CBC- inflamation
Chem- ^ALT and AST

28
Q

Pancreatitis Tx

A

Fluid with Dextrose
NPO 24-72 hrs
Anti-emetics (Cerena)

29
Q

Peritonitis Causes

A

Primary- FIP

*Secondary- ruptured bowl or uterus= systemic infection

30
Q

Peritonitis Tx

A

Hypertonic Saline Solution Fluids followed by maintance crystalloids and Colliods

31
Q

DM Causes

A

Chronic Pancreatitis

32
Q

DKA Insulin Deficiency Steps

A
  1. Initiates Lipolysis- Stored fat breaks down into fatty acid
  2. Conversion of the release of fatty acids- process called BETA OXIDATION
  3. Increase secretion of stress hormones- cortisone and glucose= by products of the entire process
33
Q

DKA Tx

A

Insulin Therapy- CRI, run fluid line with 30-50 mls of insulin solution prior to admin.

34
Q

DKA Tx Goal

A

Slowly decrease blood glucose levels to opt. range of 50-100mgldl

35
Q

Hypoadrencorticism (Addison’s Dz)

A

Deficiency in Meineralocorticoid (aldosterone)

36
Q

Hypoadrencorticism Tx Goals

A
  • Correct Hypovolemia with NaCl fluids
  • Correct Electrolyte imbalance with dilute K
  • Provide hormone replacement therapy with inj of Dex (short term) and Aldosterone (long term)
