Navle Review Flashcards
Microcytic hypochromic
Cause
Iron deficiency
Ddxn for small large animals with irons def anemia
SA: parasites (hookworms, ectoparasites with juveniles) GI ulcer, bleeding tumors
LA: parasites( barber pole and hemonchus contortis)
Why Fe def (microcytic /normochromic) w/ PSS
Transferor (Fe transport protein) made in liver … required to transport Fe to BM
How long for RBC regenerate - ie call “non regenerative”
3-5d
HYPERCROMIC causes
Always artifact =
lipemia or
Heinz bodies
Macrocytic Normochromic (big RBC) causes
Regeneration
FeLV (abnormal maturation)
“Poodle macrocytosis”
Microcytic normochromic causes
Iron def/restriction
PSS
Akita microcytosis
Extra vascular hemolysis RBC change and plasma
Spherocytes
Ictreric plasma
CBC/ slide Changes that can be seen with IMHA
Spherocytes**
Autoagglutination
Inflamm leukogram (don’t be afraid to immunosuppress b/c think infxn)
Thrombocytopenia (thromboembolic/DIC?)
Intravascular hemolysis RBC change and plasma
Ghost RBC hemolysis plasma and urine
Who can you call spherocytes on? For IMHA
Dogs +/- bovine
Don’t call in cats or horses -aliens
Extra vascular hemolysis order of bilirubin accumulation
Urine —> plasma —> tissue (>2)
Intravascular hemolysis order of pigment buildup
Plasma (Hg binds a protein untill overwhelmed) —> urine
Mycoplasma haemo…
Where in RBC
How to DXN
TX
Felis (cats) suis (pigs) canis (dogs)
Epicellular
PCR (cyclic in blood)
Tx doxycycline or Pradafloxacin
Anaplasma marginale
What species
What look like
Bovine
Ddxn Howell-jolly body but on periphery and larger. (Basopholic inclusion)
Babesia canis
What breeds common and tx
Large form Spider-Man
1/4 - 1/3 size of RBC
> greyhounds
Tx immiticarb
Babesia gibsoni
Small form (signet ring) kinda like Howell-JB >pit bulls
AA Combo
Azithromycin atoviquone
Horse babesia
Piroplasmosis Babesia caballi (large) Theileria equi (small)
Reportable !!!
Cat babesia (cytox) (A cat babesia does exist but always call cytox)
Tx
Cytauxzoon felis
Small signet ring (ddxn HowellJB)
NON REGEN Anemia common
Tx doxycycline Or flouroquinolones ( cyprofloxacin)
When do you see Heinz bodies ( nose like end of cell)
Oxidative damage
Onion garlic/ acetametohin/ red maple/ propofol : zinc (pennies)
3 things seen a/ oxidative damage
Heinz bodies
Eccentracytes
Methemoglobinemia
Tick born causes of thrombocytopenia
Erlichiosis
Anaplasmosis
Ricketsiosis
Hemophilia letters w/ factors
8= A 9= B 11= C
Vit K dep factors
shortest 1/2 life
2 7 9 10
7 shortest 1/2 life
What will prolong 1st with rodenticide tox
PT
Large animal leakage enzymes
SDH and GLDH (also used exotic)
AST sources
RBC muscle (check CK and PCV)
Horses causes of liver dz
PA (pyrollizisidine alkaloid tocicosis)
Theilers dz = “serum sickness”
Foals w/ clostridium pillifomis = tyzzers dz
Stain to see Heinz bodies
New methelene blue
Horse babesias (reportable)
B. Caballi
Theleria equi
