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)
