19
Q

  • abx, NSAIDs
  • supportive therapy
20
Q

Calf diphtheria (aka necrotic laryngitis/oral necrobacillosis) in different aged calves

A

1) calves 1-4 mo. get infection of soft tissue of oral cavity
- spreads from common utensils or licking

2) calves 3-18 months that are on feed for >30 days** get infection of laryngeal mucosa and cartilage
- sporadic incidence with more cases in fall and winter
- more common in crowded dirty conditions and feedlots

21
Q

Pathophys. Of calf diphtheria

A
  • Mucosal injury to oral cavity from tooth eruption OR
  • inflammation of URT or laryngeal mucosa from viral infections and coughing leading to laryngeal contact ulcers —-> invasion of bacteria
  • Fusobacterium necrophorum and Trueperella most common
22
Q

CS of calf diphtheria

A

-hypersalivation, reluctance to eat
-fever, depression, hyperemic membranes
+/- abscess in cheek region

-laryngitis –> painful cough, severe inspiratory dyspnea with stridor and open mouth breathing –> eventual obstruction

23
Q

Dx/Tx of calf diphtheria

A

Dx based on CS, endoscopy

Tx:

  • penicillin, ceftiofur
  • NSAIDs
  • tracheotomy
  • arytenoidectomy
  • supportive care
  • fair to poor prog.
24
Q

Causes of sinusitis and which sinus are they in?

A
  • dehorning (frontal, common)
  • tooth root abscess (maxillary)
  • other: viral, trauma, neoplasia, actinomycosis
25
Q

CS of sinusitis

A
  • nasal d/c +/- halitosis
  • anorexia, lethargy, fever
  • bone distortion, obstructed air flow
  • erosion of bone and meningitis in neglected cases
  • 2ary neuro signs
26
Q

3 things that can cause neuro signs 2ary to sinusitis***

A

1) invasion through cribiform plate into venous sinuses
2) formation of pituitary abscess
3) formation of subdural abscess

27
Q

Do maxillary and dorsal conchal sinuses communicate with frontal sinus?

A

No

28
Q

Dx/Tx of sinusitis

A

Dx: CS, percussion, aspiration of sinuses, rads, endoscopy

Tx: lavage and systemic abx +/- trephination, tooth repulsion and/or tooth extraction
-penicillin usually sufficient

29
Q

Tracheal edema syndrome

A
  • causes edema and hemorrhage in the wall of the trachea
  • kills most of the cattle it effects (due to obstruction of the trachea)
  • cattle make honking noise before they die
  • has acute dyspnea and chronic cough forms
30
Q

Acute dyspnea form of tracheal edema syndrome

A
  • more common in southern feedlots

- causes acute onset dyspnea, stridor, sudden death in

31
Q

Chronic form of tracheal edema syndrome

A
  • more common in western feedlots
  • unthrifty, with only occasional deaths
  • affects caudal 1/3 of trachea
32
Q

Viral respiratory diseases of cattle

A

1) infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (BHV1)* - most common
2) bovine respiratroy syncytial virus (BRSV)*
3) bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV)
4) parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV-3)
5) coronavirus (BCoV)*
6) BHV*
7) MCF*
8) adenovirus
9) rhinovirus, reovirus, enterovirus

  • = known to cause death (although rarely)
33
Q

MCF caused by what viruses

A

OHV2, AHV1

34
Q

Transmission of viral respiratory diseases

A

Direct contact or aerosol

35
Q

Etiology of viral resp. Dz in beef and dairy cattle

A

Beef:

  • more common after arrival at feedlots or stocker/backgrounding operations
  • disease in suckling calves poorly characterized

Dairy:

  • calves up to 6 months of age** (enzootic pneumonia)
  • sporadic in adults

*have short incubation period, highly contagious

36
Q

CS/Dx of viral respiratory dz

A

CS: fever, nasal d/c, cough, malaise
Dx: PCR most common; virus isolation, Ag detection, serology

37
Q

Immunosuppression caused by viral resp. Dz effects:

A

*innate, and some acquired immunity of the lung:

  • nasopharyngeal lymphoid tissues
  • ciliated tracheobronchial epi cells
  • Tracheobronchial macs
  • T lymphs
38

A

BHV1
BRSV
PI3
BVDV

39
Q

Bovine herpesviruses and what they cause

A

BoHV-1 –> infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), infectious pustular vulvovaginitis and balanoposthitis
BoHV-2 –> bovine herpes mammilitis
BoHV-3 –> bovine cytomegalovirus
BoHV-4 –> mild resp. Dz; mammary pustular dermatitis
