Exam 3 - Teratogens, Obstetrics, Mammary Glands Flashcards
what is a critical period
single agent can induce dramatically different diseases at different stages of gestation
in what stage of development do majority of defects occur
organogenesis
bluetongue virus teratogenic effect
hydranencephaly
akabane virus or schmallenberg virus teratogenic effects
arthrogryposis
hydranencephaly
what are the two lesions of border disease virus
demyelination = tremors
poor wool quality
what are the biotypes of BVDV
non-cytopathogenic if infected 60-120 days
cytopathogenic - infection throughout pregnancy
what biotype of BVDV is responsible for persistently infected calves
non-cytopathogenic
which biotype of BVDV is the virus detectable at birth NOT antibodies
non-cytopathogenic (virus positive)
which biotype of BVDV is Ab positive but virus negative at birth
cytopathogenic (Ab positive)
what hormone is declining with parturition?
progesterone
length of stage I of parturition in the dog
6-12 hours
up to 36 hours
length of stage I of parturition in the cat
1-24 hours
length of stage II of parturition in the dog
6 hours
can be 24 hours
length of stage II of parturition in the cats
first kitten delivered within 60 min
delivered every 30-60min
length of stage III of parturition in the dog/cat
fetal membranes should be passed with fetus or within 15 min
most common cause of dystocia in the canine/feline
Primary uterine inertia
what are the options for medical management? what are the chances for complete success in dogs with medical management of dystocia?
medical management = calcium or oxytocin
28% success rate
Do patients need oxytocin if they are already experiencing uterine contractions?
NO
what criteria make dystocia mild/moderate v. severe?
mild - 4 or less pups remaining
severe - 4 or more pups remaining
normal presentation of the fetus
anterior
normal position of the fetus
dorsal-sacral position
normal posture of the fetus
head and forelimbs extended
cause of primary uterine inertia in cattle
hypocalcemia “milk fever”
what is the difference between an assisted and controlled vaginal delivery
assisted - dam awake, standing or recumbent, sedated or epidural if needed
controlled - anesthesia, no contractions
