Mammary/Pyometra/C-section Flashcards
What is mastitis
- occurs during lactation
- painful, signs of inflammation
- Possible necrosis - severe cases
- Cytology shows degenerative neutrophils with intra- and extra-cellular bacteria
- usually califorms, staphylococcus sp., streptococcus sp.
- Treatment:
- Broad spectrum antibiotics (until culture/sensitivity results)
- Pain medications
- Warm packing
- IV fluids - systemically ill
- surgical removal of abscess/necrotic tissue
What is Galactostasis
- Occurs during weaning or psuedopregnancy
- Painful, signs of inflammation
- Cytology shows no bacteria
- Treatment:
- Anti-inflammatories
- Bellywrap
- Decrease milk production
- withhold food 24 hrs
- ration water ½ normal intake
- Dopamine agonists ⇣Prolactin production
What is mammary neoplasia
- intact females at highest risk
- Nonpainful, firm masses
What effect does OHE have on tumor development?
- 0.5% if neutered before 1st estrus
- 8% between 1st and 2nd estrus
- 26% after 2nd estrus
- no protective effect after 2.5 years
What is the risk the tumor is malignant?
- Spayed female dogs - 20%
- Intact female dogs - 50%
- Female cats - 85%
- Male dogs/cats - usually malignant
What is removed during a regional mastectomy? why?
- either 1st - 3rd
- or 3rd - 5th
- lymph drainage 1&2 drain to thoracic ln, 4&5 to inguinal, 3 has mixed.
hat is the Prognosis of Mammary tumors?
- Benign - surgery is curative
- Malignant - MST ~500 days
- Tumor size, invasiveness, grade, histologic criteria, type of surgery
- Inflammatory mammary carcinoma
- MST 25-60 days
