19
Q

why does EGGD happen

A

failure of normal protective mechanisms
causes unknown but H. pylori, NSAIDs and idiopathic are suspected

20
Q

treatment for EGUS

A

PPI - omeprazole

21
Q

is acid damage the cause of glandular disease

A

no - but is an aggravating factor

22
Q

CS for EGUS

A

asymptomatic, anxious, colicky, food aggressive, wont perform, grumpy, bruxism

23
Q

risk factors for EGGD

A

warmblood, specific trainer, multiple people, lots of exercise,

24
Q

diagnosis of EGUS

A

endoscopy, biopsy, US

25
Q

how to do gastric endoscopy

A

NPO 16 hrs, restraint, pass like NG tube, inflate and deflate, confirm healing with follow up

26
Q

gastric US

A

left flank, cranioventral
not caudal to IC14

27
Q

EGUS treatments and prevention

A

small frequent forage meals
supplements
mirrors
water
corn oil
omeprazole - expensive, poor oral bioavailability with full forage, more effective for EGSD

28
Q

are grades used for EGSD or EGGD

A

EGSD

29
Q

complications of EGUS

A

uncommon
recurrence
peritonitis
gerd
polypus pyloris
intussusception

30
Q

primary gastric distention disorders

A

ingestion of fermentable food/grain overload
food impaction

31
Q

secondary distention disorders

A

small intestinal obstruction
aklaline fluid buildup

32
Q

what is most common form of gastric distention disorder

A

secondary

33
Q

gastric outflow obstruction causes

A

ulceration, delayed gastric emptying syndrome, neoplasia, phytobezoar

34
Q

what gets retained in delayed gastric emptying

A

solids

35
Q

signs of delayed gastric emptying

A

asymptomatic, inappetence, mild recurrent colic, cutaneous sensitivity
food bolus in stomach after 16 hr of fasting

36
Q

Dx of delayed gastric emptying

A

CS, NG tube, enlargement of stomach via US, retention of food after fasting

37
Q

gastric impaction predisposing factors

A

dental, gastritis, ulcers

38
Q

clinical presentation of gastric impaction

A

colic, cant pass NG tube

39
Q

Dx gastric emptying

A

contrast rads - no aboral movement into stomach by 30-90 min

40
Q

common fall MO obstruction object

A

persimmons - surgery

41
Q

what is gastrorrhexis

A

gastric rupture

42
Q

why should you employ NG tube during Dx and management of colic

A

look for distension which can lead to rupture

43
Q

is gastric rupture fatal

A

invariably

44
Q

is gastric cancer common

A

no

45

leiomyoma

46
Q

who gets gastric SCC

A

old horses

47
Q

Dx gastric SCC

A

endoscopy, US, analysis peritoneal fluid
