Q

what causes rectal stricture in pigs and what is the pathogenesis?

A

caused secondary to intestinal infection of salmonella typhimurium
necrotizing inflammation of the rectum and uterus (procitis) from the bacterial ifnection leads to ischemia and damage of the blood vessels. during recovery, scarring and contraction leads to a stricture

27
Q

what is a classic and common example of an extramural intestinal obstruction?

A

equine strangulating lipomas

28
Q

what is this?

A

an equine strangulating lipoma

29
Q

how does an intestinal displacement lead to necrosis?

A

intestinal displacement leads to incarceration (the entrapped contents become fixed), which then leads to strangulation, allowing for ischemia due to lack of blood supply, eventually leading to necrosis

30
Q

what is the difference betwene a volvulus and a torsion?

A

a volvulus is a twist along the mesenteric axis
a torsion is a tiwst along the long axis of the viscus

31
Q

intestinal intussusceptions are most common in ___________ and the most common area of the GI tract to be affected is the ____

A

young animals, especially dogs
ileocolic area

32
Q

list some causes of intussusception

A

idiopathic, linear foreign body, heavy parasitism, enteritis, previous surgery, etc

33
Q

what are the two types of hernias?

A

internal and external hernias

34
Q

what is an internal hernia? give an example

A

displacement of the intestine through a normal pathological foramina in the abdominal cavity, so there is no formation of a hernial sac
ex: epiploic foramen entrapment and gastrosplenic ligament entrapment

35
Q

what is an external hernia? list some examples

A

displacement of intestine through an opening in the abdominal wall resulting in a hernial sac
ex: umbillical hernia, inguinal hernia, diaphragmatic hernia

36
Q

rectal prolapse is common in what animals? what is the cause?

A

swine, sheep, cattle
caused by prolonged tenesmus or excessive coughing (increase in abdominal pressure), or assoictaed with colitis or UTI

37
Q

inflammation of the small intestine is called:

inflammation of the rectum is called:

A

enteritis
colitis
typhlitis
procitis

38
Q

what is diphtheritic enteritis?

Q

what is this?

A

diphthertic enteritis

40
Q

what is this?

they can be found dead, or can have bloody diarrhea
5 to 10 days

58
Q

how do you diagnose clostridium perfringens?

A

you have to type it to make sure it is type C and check for toxin detection. culture of the bacteria is not good enough
