In normal animals, the accumulation of fat stores in the body tends to increase feeding desire
false
pain inhibits the hunger center
true
pica
unusual habit/compulsion to eat inedible objects
ex: dog eating rocks
how does animal get rid of increased body temp?
decrease physical activity
vasodilation
panting
Veterinary schools teach their student to work up causes using one of two methods. Name them
SOAP (subjective, objective, assessment, plan)
POA (problem-oriented approach)
problem
an issue that interferes with the animals quality of life or needs to be addressed medically/ surgically
discuss 4 benefits from fever in animal
inhibit growth of microorganisms
proteolytic enzymes released to fight viruses
reduced serum Fe levels which decrease bacterial cell metabolism
Fe chelate created by bacteria is reduced
What are the characteristics that define FUO (fever of unknown origin)
lasts over 2 weeks
temp is 15 degrees above normal
unknown origin
exogenous pyrogens
fever inducing pathogen that originates from outside the body
name 4 exogenous pyrogens
gram + bacteria
tumor
virus
bacterial endotoxins
two categories of pyrexia
pathologic and physiologic
endothermic vertebrae
regulates temp of body systems
name 3 components of plan formulation
perform tests and treatments
perform follow-up/assessment
client education
small animals usually have polyuria as their primary problem with a compensatory polydipsia
true
animals with urine specific gravity> 1.035 are polyuric
false
cancer causes PuPd by causing inhibition of ADH
true
when the glomerular filtrate has a specific gravity equal to plasma which is 1.008-1.012 it is known as
isosthenuric
which diuretic crosses the blood-brain barrier easily?
Mannitol
Which cause of Pd actually best anticipates water needs prior to actual deficiencies
secondary thirst
