export_final exam anat path cattle cases Flashcards
multifocal hemorrhage of grey and white cerbral cortex and thalamus in cattle- cause and clinically
ITME- H somni clinically: calves sudden death, ataxia, recumbancy, blindness, fever
fibrinous pericarditits and hemorrhagic MYOcarditits cause in cattle (not endocarditis or pericarditis)
Blackleg- Clostrid chauvei
how confirm diagnosis of ITME
bacterial culture
other causes of brain dz in feedlot calves;
Polio (sulfur tox or grain overload) Lead tox Rabies Less common: Listeria, nervous coccidiosis, hypo vit A
Is a bloat line pathognomonic for bloat?
no- bacteria after daeth can produce gas that can create such a line
Other lesions that point to ruminal bloat
congestion of facial soft tissue, esp nasal turbinates +/- inguinal edema from lymphatic blockage
pathogenesis of C. Chauvei:
spores in envir ingested and latent in mm- bacteria becomes active when muscle is damaged or hypoxic -bacteria releases endotoxin and increases vasculature permiability leading to fibrinous pericarditis and myocardial hemorrhage
- how confirm dx of C. Chauvei
FA on frozen section- culture is too difficult
Vesicular dz of cattle:
Vesicular stomatitis FMD Dx: call CFIA!
other causes of erosion on tongue other than vesicular dz of cattle:
-caustic agents -BVD -papular stomatitis
white worm in caudal trachea that causes atelectasis of cranial lungs= and where cattle get it?
Dictyocaulus vivi Cattle get it from eating pasture
which lung worm do we see the most in ON with sheep?
Muellaria (not Dictyocaulus)
suppurative necrotising myocarditis- think:
H somni
H. somni causes:
ITME septicemia: pleuritis, pericarditis, polyarthritis bronchopneumonia: just like Manheimia
causes of polyarthritis in feedlot cattle
Mycoplasma bovis H. somni (less obvious)
etiology(s)
Manheimia
Histophilus somni (look same)
how age lung lesions?
pleural adhesions vs abcessation
pleural adhesions- 7-10d
abscesses: at least 2wks
does absence of pleural adhesions or abscess mean lesion is acute
no, not nec
lesion: cranioventral lung is rubbery, atelectatic, and congested; but is not as hard as would be expected in bacterial bronchopneumonia. etio:
BRSV(*)
PIV3, Corona maybe
