Final Flashcards
Day 24 Bovine Pregnancy Diagnosis
Embryo starts appearing, the ultrasound will have embryo on bottom of gestational sac
Guitar pick
Day 18
What is secreted from the hypothalamus?
GnRH
What is the first barrier to ascending infection in female?
Vulva
What is the second barrier to ascending infection in female?
Vaginovestibular junction
What is the final barrier to ascending infection in female?
Cervix
What is included in the spermatic cord?
Blood supply, nerve, masseter, dd
Accessory sex gland in dog?
Prostate
What species has no uterine countercurrent exchange system?
Mare
How long does spermatogenesis take in the bull?
61 days
Which species has the most variable gestational length?
Mare because mare can undergo embryonic diapause
What breed is most likely to prolapse prepuce after a tear?
Bos Indicus, more skin
Penile hematoma
12 days after prolapse only conservative treatment (50% chance to return to service)
If catch early, sx repair and better chance return to service
If perform speculum exam on mare in diestrus?
Cervix tight and high
Estrus would be low and on the floor
What is the clinical sig of the preputial diverticulum in the boar?
Can ejaculate into it, a lot of pheromones, trigger cyclicity in cows
If you need to test an aggressive mare for pregnancy, so need a blood test what do you want to look for?
Relaxin levels
Progesterone is also high in non-pregnant animals so not ideal
Does the bitch’s temp drop prior to parturition?
Yes, check it at least twice daily
What day do you want to detect twins in a mare?
Day 12-14. Prior to attachment (need to crush prior to day 16, banamine right before crush)
If you detect EED past day 38 in mare, when would you expect her to come back into heat?
100-120 days because endometrial cups secrete eCG they need to go away which takes 120 D
What is eCG?
Produced by endometrial cups, goes to ovary and causes it to make more CL aka more P4
What to do with third degree perineal laceration in mare?
Don’t fix right away bc dirty. Laceration is from vagina to rectum. Sx to reconstruct.
Grade two wait to suture as well
Day of LH surge in dog
Progesterone levels will be 2. Ovulation 2-3 days later. Then 2-3 more days to mature to secondary oocyte and get fertilized
If a bitch is fully cornified but not accepting the male what stage of the cycle is she in?
Proestrus behaviorally but estrus histo
What are some ways we can manipulated the mare to breed earlier?
Increase day length/light
Start in November-December (before winter solstice on Dec 21st)
Increases chances of earlier fertile ovulation
Besides photostimulation what is another way to stimulate mare to breed earlier?
Deslorelin: does not work, synchronizes (GnRH agonist)
Dopamine agonists: Domperidone, Sulpuride
If there is a drought recently, and you have group of cow that have been fed hay, some have abortions, etiology?
Nitrates: take ocular fluid to test for
What causes epididymitis in mature rams?
Brucellosis ovis
Immature rams: ram lamb epididymitis
If you suspect lepto in Cattle what are your next steps?
Urine: feather collect it, furosemide then on second midstream
Dark field microscopy
Most common cause of viral abortions in the US?
IBR (bovine herpes virus)
Most common bacterial origin of abortion in mare
Streptococcus zooepidemicus
Can BVD cause abortion at any stage?
Yes. If affects preg cow at 120-150 Days of gestation you get a PI calf
If you give the multivalent vaccine “cattle master” what component causes abortions?
IBR (not BVD)
Describe the pathophysiology of CEH pyometra complex in the bitch:
Downregulation of estrogen receptors doesn’t happen! Estrogen stimulates progesterone secretion=a lot of fluid accumulation
Which one of the following species of Leptospira is host adapted and most commonly found in the USA
L. interrogans hardjo-prajitno
Equine viral arthritis is transmitted by what routes
Aerosol
Venereal
Fomites
Aborted fetus/placenta
A bitch with cystic endometrial hyperplasia-pyometra complex can present with what signs
PU/PD
Lethargy
Leukocytosis
A stallion presents with scrotal swelling with raised plaques over skin of thorax. Top DDx?
Trypanosoma equiperidum
