A

Anipryl

20

A

50%

22
Q

Increased ALP and cholesterol with decreased USG + proteinuria might indicate what disease?

Hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing’s)

23
Q

Dogs with PU/PD and weight loss likely have what endocrinopathy?

A

Hyperglycemia (DM)

24
Q

What is the most common reason that DM dogs present to the vet?

Needing to pee at night or pee in the house

25
Q

Plantigrade stance is associated with which endocrinopathy?

A

Hyperglycemia (DM)

26
Q

Which endocrinopathy can cause cataracts?

A

Hyperglycemia (DM)

27
Q

A

DM includes weight loss

28
Q

What is the main clinical sign of hyperPTH/hyperCa?

A

PU/PD

29

32
Q

What type of DM is more common in dogs?

A

33
Q

What are factors that can predispose to insulin resistance?

A

Obesity, chronic DM, other endocrinopathies

34
Q

Q

A fructosamine test assesses glycemic control over the last _____

A

2-3wk

42
Q

What does a glucose curve show?
