Module 6: Ruminant Bronchopneumonias, Adult Respiratory Diseases Flashcards

1
Q

When will a calf/lamb/kid with bacterial bronchopneumonia respond best?

A

With acute treatment (early) with an antibiotic
- Chronic infections may recover, may not die, but they will not be productive
- If you wait for culture results, it will be too late to fix things

Q

Describe the pathogenesis of Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD):

A
  • Viral insult damages mucous membranes, allowing bacterial commensals to proliferate
  • Replication includes the production of cell membrane components (LPS) and replication results in the expression and release of leukotoxin (M. haemolytica)

Q

Caudal vena cava syndrome:
(T/F) Penicillin is the only treatment that works for caudal vena cava syndrome

A

False, other antibiotics probably do but giving penicillin daily/twice daily for 4-8 weeks (or any other antibiotic) will result in residues in the animal (drug or metabolites residues)

Q

Small Ruminant Respiratory
What two viruses are very similar and it shouldn’t surprise you to see pneumonia in a goat similar to that in a sheep?

A
  • Ovine progressive pneumonia (OPP)
  • Caprine arthritis-encephalitis (CAE)
    Both OPP and CAE produce weight loss, respiratory signs, arthritis, agalactia (poor milk production), and neurologic diseases (less common clinical signs in sheep)

Q

Other interstitial pneumonia: Toxic causes
#-methylindole toxicity due to lack of acclimation of animals to lush green grass

A

Fog Fever

26
Q

Other interstitial pneumonia:
How can 3-methylindole intoxication be prevented?

A

By feeding cattle monensin in diet 1 day prior to moving to lush green pasture or feeding cattle lasalocid in the diet for 6 days prior to moving to lush green pasture
Monensin and lasalocid are ionophores that promote feed utilization and health in a number of animal species

27
Q

Aspiration pneumonia in calves (mainly dairy calves):
What should the owners/management do/make sure of?

A
  • Not to re-use rubber nipples because this is a common cause of aspiration of milk into the lungs
  • Pre-emptively treating with antibiotics is a poor practice (this is not judicious use)
