A toxicant that has the following lesions in most species: gastroenteritis which may be hemorrhagic, pulmonary congestion and edema, congestion of liver and kidney, in addition to the odor of dead fish (acteylene odor) in the stomach may be poisoned with
zinc phosphide
what drug would you use to reduce brain swelling due to toxicosis in animals
glucocorticoid
Which of the following are LEAST likely clinical signs of fluoroacetate (compound 1080) toxicosis in the horse?
a. colic, trembling, and staggering
b. tachycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, and ventricular fibrillation
c. clonic-tonic convulsive seizures and opisthotonos
d. signs of respiratory insufficiency
c. clonic-tonic convulsive seizures and opisthotonos
MOST sensitive animals to fluoroacetate toxicosis are
dogs
Which of the following is LEAST likely concerning paraquat toxicosis?
a. Onset of respiratory signs is within 1-4 hours
b. Signs in dogs and cats include vomiting, CNS depression, and severe dyspnea
c. Lesions include pulmonary edema, congestion, and hemorrhage, and may be lingual ulcers
d. Death is due to difficulty in gaseous exchange resulting from lung damage
A.
causes signs of respiratory insufficiency and overheating MAINLY by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation and blocking or decreasing ATP
PCP
T/F
A negative ethylene glycol test in cats means that the cat has not been exposed to a toxic level of ethylene glycol
FALSE
most sensitive species to ethylene glycol
cats
Acute renal failure as a result of ethylene glycol toxicosis usually occurs how long after ingestion in the dog
24-72 hours after ingestion
Adding 20% ferric chloride to urine sample results in purple color urine is used to detect the presence of which toxicant in urine
phenol
The MOST toxic detergents are
a. soaps b. dishwashing liquids c. laundry detergents d. automatic dishwashing detergents
D
T/F
high energy diet will increase urea toxicity
FALSE
The clinical signs associated with water deprivation/sodium ion toxicosis in swine are thought to be MAINLY caused by
cerebral edema and overhydration of nerve cells
T/F
Urea is commonly used in ruminants as a feed additive because it is an economical and efficient source of protein and minerals such as sulfur and phosphorus
FALSE
this metal toxicosis causes inhibition of the activity of several enzymes in heme synthesis
lead
The diagnosis of lead toxicosis in dogs is BEST established on the basis of
blood levels
Inhibition of lipoic acid which results in inhibition of citric acid cycle is the mechanism of action of
trivalent arsenic
The MOST susceptible animals to iron toxicosis are
pigs and dogs

cholecalciferol
The route of choice for administration of vitamin K is
PO
mechanism of action of anticagulant rodenticides

serum
toxic agent MOST likely to produce degeneration of peripheral neurons is
arsanilic acid
Deferoxamine is the chelating agent of choice for
iron
Enlarged yellow liver, enlarged friable and hemorrhagic kidneys, enlarged black spleen, and red wine-colored urine are lesions MOST likely associated with
chronic copper toxicosis
