Q

Explain why animals with a low fibre diet need help expressing their anal glands?

Q

What are some of the sings that an animal may have impacted anal glands?

A

Scooting can be a sign
Bad breath
Licking the anus
Biting their back or tail
Turning suddenly

25
Q

Describe the signs of an animal with possible affected anal glands?

A

Scooting can be a sign. It is thought the animal may be trying to express the glands and relieve their irritation.

Bad breath can be a sign, if the animal has been licking the area to try and express the anal glands

The animal may lick the area to relieve irritation and try to express the glands

The animal may bite their back or tail due to pain and irritation from their back end

The animal may turn suddenly due to pain or irritation from the back end

26
Q

What is the preen gland’s anatomical name?

A

uropygial gland

27
Q

What are the four main functions of the uropygial gland?

A

waterproofing, feather care, antimicrobial and antiparasite function, conversion of vitamin D precursor to vitamin D

28
Q

Name the components of the mammary gland of a sheep:

A

Teat sinus/cistern
Teat orifice and sphincter
Gland cistern
Annular ring
Body wall
Parenchyma

29
Q

What is the annular ring also known as?

A

the vascular ring, mucosal fold

30
Q

What is the udder parenchymal tissue mainly composed of?

A

of alveoli and ducts

31
Q

What is the udder parenchymal tissue?

A

the functional tissue involved in milk production

32
Q

What is the udder suspended from the body wall from?

A

suspensory apparatus

33
Q

Where is the annular ring found?

A

at the boundary between the gland and teat sinus, it can be seen as a fold in the mucosa

34
Q

What happens at the annular ring?

A

Blood vessels that supply the teat originate in this area and course distally through the wall of the teat

35
Q

What do the teat and gland cistern make up together?

A

lactiferous sinus

36
Q

Describe the distal portion of the teat of a sheep:

A

The channel through the distal portion of the teat from the teat cistern is termed the streak canal. The teat orifice is the hole on the bottom of the teat and represents the opening of the distal end of the streak canal

37
Q

What is the streak canal lined with?

A

with stratified squamous epithelium and is covered by keratin

38
Q

What is the teat sphincter?

A

a muscular ring surrounding the streak canal

39
Q

what is the streak canal?

A

the channel through the distal portion of the teat from the teat cistern

40
Q

Mastitis - what reduces the risk of infection crossing across cow mammary gland quarters?

A

each quarter has independent secretory units, ductal systems and sinuses

41
Q

Mastitis - infection from the right fore-quarter is most likely to spread to which other quarter?

A

right hind-quarter
The ductal systems of the fore and hind systems are distinct but there is still some potential for infection to cross

42
Q

The left and right side of the cow mammary gland quarters are completely separated - by what?

A

the median suspensory ligament, making cross infection less likely

43
Q

What sinus is found above the teat sinus?

A

the gland sinus

44
Q

What are the three identifiable components of a histological section of a cow’s mammary gland during lactation?

A

Alveolar spaces (filled w/ milk)
Lobules
Ducts (filled w/ milk)

45
Q

Why is it important to keep a cow standing for some time after milking?

A

The teat sphincter is smooth (involuntary) muscle so can take time to fully close - it takes one hour to close fully so infection risk if cow lies in dirty environment

46
Q

Dogs - where is the main blood supply to the mammary glands?

A

Via the epigastric arteries.

47
Q

Describe the epigastric arteries?

A

there are two arteries (cranial and caudal) that anastomose in the umbilical area, with some branches crossing the midline. The venous drainage mirrors the arterial pattern

48
Q

What does anastomose mean?

A

join

49
Q

What are the three main lymph nodes involved in mammary gland drainage?

A

the axillary, accessory axillary and the superficial inguinal

50
Q

There are 5 mammary glands on a dog, label them in order going from cranial –> caudal

A

Cranial thoracic mammary gland (MG)
Caudal thoracic MG
Cranial abdominal MG
Caudal abdominal MG
Inguinal MG

51
Q

Inguinal mammary gland?

A

supplied by the caudal superficial epigastric artery and vein
the drainage of lymph is to the superificial inguinal lymph nodes

52
Q

Cranial abdominal gland?

A

Are supplied by the cranial superficial epigastric artery and vein
Drainage of lymph mainly to the axillary lymph node, although other nodes may also drain this gland e.g. accessory axillary, sternal and inguinal lymph nodes

53
Q

Caudal abdominal mammary glands?

A

supplied by the caudal superficial epigastric artery vein
drainage of lymph is to the inguinal lymph nodes

54
Q

Cranial thoracic mammary gland?

A

supplied by the internal thoracic artery and its branches ( cranial superficial epigastric) AND the lateral thoracic + intercostal arteries
Drainage of lymph is mainly the axillary lymph node

55
Q

caudal thoracic mammary gland?

A

supplied by the internal thoracic artery and its branches (cranial superficial epigastric) + lateral thoracic + intercostal arteries
Drainage of lymph is mainly to the axillary lymph node

56
Q

Describe the difference between cats mammary glands and dogs mammary glands?

A

cats typically have four pairs of glands not 5 like dogs. Cats typically have the cranial and caudal thoracic, abdominal and inguinal.
(ONLY ONE PAIR OF ABDOMINAL)

57
Q

Why is the lymphatic drainage of mammary glands important to know in cases of mammary tumours?

A

Malignant tumours can spread to other parts of the body (in contrast, benign tumours don’t tend to spread or invade). Malignant tumours can have small pieces or cells that break away and metastasise (spread) via the lymphatics. In a bitch, the vet may test whether a tumour is maligant and decide how much tissue needs to be removed based on the results. In cats, because most tumours are malignant, the vet may not wait for test results and may just remove the whole mammary strip as well as the draining lymph nodes as a precaution.
