Q

describe the pathogenesis of rumenal acidosis

A

decrease in pH kills normal gram neg bacteria, streptococcus bovis proliferates causing an increase in lactic acid which decreases the pH even more, allowing lactobacillus to predominate leading to inflammation of the rumen

majority of displaced abomasums are ____ side

A

left

inflammation of the true stomach

32
Q

clostridial abomasitis is caused by what? what are the gross findings and histologic findings?

A

clostridium septicum
gross findings: abomasal wall thickening with emphysema and edema, hemorrhages
histo: gram positive bacilli

33
Q

this is an abomasum. what disease is this?

A

clostridial abomasitis caused by clostridium septica

34
Q

A

ostertagia ostertagi parasites

36
Q

if you are doing histology on an abomasum affected with ostertagia spp, what would you see?

hemonchosis
anemia and hypoproteinemia

38
Q

what is the spcecies of barber pole worm that infects sheep and goats? what are some gross lesions of this parasite

haemonchus contorus

40
Q

gastroduodenal and abomasal ulcers usually cause one gross lesions/finding which is

A

melena (digested blood in the tissues)

41
Q

where do dogs usually get GI ulcers?

A

in the pyloic antrum and proximal duodenum

42
Q

in dogs, what can cause gastroduodenal ulcers?

A

adenocarcinomas, cutaneous mast cell tumors, gastrinoma (endrocine)

43
Q

why do cutaneous mast cell tumors in dogs cause ulcers?

A

because they produce histamine which stimulates acid secretion

44

in the abomasum

the pars esophagea
pigs can acutely die from exsanguination
finely ground feed

49
Q

where do horses usually get GI ulcers? what causes them?

A

in the squamous part of their stomach right beside the margo plicatus
they are mostly incidental but CAN cause colic, causes include stress, NSAIDs, change in feed, and GI disease

50
Q
