ballotment
ultrasound

17-24 days without estrous, best detected with presence of boar

How can we detect pregnancy in the camelid?
-spitting off, ballotment, ultrasound after day 12
How can we detect pregnancy in the mare?
-rectal palpation -> uterus over the pelvic rim, can feel the fetus by 7 months
urine estrogen -> cuboni test
rectum ultrasound -> should be done by day 14
Uterine swellings in mare’s rectal palpatation
golf ball, softball, flutuant swelling, football, basketball,
28 days, 35, 45, 60, 90

when can we ultrasound?
what can we detect in canines only?
21-28 days
-safe after day 40, best done in last week due to calcification

What is the yolk sac connected to?
What is the allantois connected to?
mid gut
hind gut
What are within the umbilical cord?
-urachus, two umbilical arteries, one umbilical vein, allantoic stalk, yolk stalk, and whartons jellys
Omphacele bs gastroischisis?
omphalocele -> a GIT defect where it fails to retract into the abdomen after the phsyiologic hernia
Gastroischisis-> a body wall defect where the lateral fold fails to fuse
Allantoic fluid
Amniotic fluid
appears more urine-like in mid gestation as the developing kidneys form urine -> to the allantois
becomes more colorless and mucoid late gestation
Compare the uterus of the cow vs the horse
cow -> short body and two horns. Cervix has interdigitating folds
horse -> long body and two short horns. Cervix has long mucosal folds
What is the most common ovarian tumors of mares?

What is a common cause of infertility in mares?
endometritis
What is one of the most common infectious bacteria that can cause endometritis?
strep zoo epidemicus
You are doing ultrasound on a mare and think you see an embryo, but the mare has had trouble with infertility. What could be a differential
cyst
What is a reportalbe bacterial venereal disease?
contagious equine metritis
Difference between estrogen and progesterone and their affects on bacteria?
progesterone ->predisposes to infection
What are the routes of bacterial infection in the genital tract?
-ascending infection and hematogenous spread
What bacteria can cause balanoposthitis?
-C. renlae, trueperella pyrogenes and mycoplasma species
What are the predisoping factors for pizzle rot?
increase protein in feed leads to increased urea in urine. C. renale creates ureas that converts urea to ammonia. Amonia is not gentle to the skin and allows for c. RENALE to invade

-post mating
What is the most common isolate of endometritis in mares?
strep zoo epidemicus
What is the most common isolate in pyometra?
trueperella pyorgenes
What strain of brucella is not zoonotic?
