Myelography

51

52
Q

What do we grade a patient that has paralysis with NO DEEP PAIN diagnosed with TLIVDD?

A

Grade 5 . Treat with dorsal hemilaminectomy.

53
Q

Infection of disc cartilage at the end plates.

A

Diskospongylitis

54
Q

What bacteria is the most important cause of discospondylitis?

55
Q

What signs would you see with discospondylitis?

A

Hyperesthesia(exaggerated sensitivity), neuro signs because of spinal cord compression

56
Q

Definitive diagnose for Diskospondylitis

A

radiographs but only 4-6 weeks post infection so do culture and histo b/c Ddx is tumors.

57
Q

Infection of vertebrae

A

Spondylitis

58
Q

Hour glass shape neoplasia

A

Intramedullary

59
Q

Golf tee sign neoplasia

A

Intradural-Extramedullary

60
Q

Most common kind of spinal neoplasia. On side devotion towards lumen. Osteo-, chondro- and fibrosarcomas.

A

Extradural

61
Q

Most common tumor primary tumor in the brain of dogs

A

Meningioma

62
Q

Most common tumor in the spinal cord of dogs.

A

Hemangiosarcomas

63
Q

Extradural lymphosarcomas are usually in what species?

64
Q

Best diagnostic tool for localization of a neoplasia in the spinal cord?

65
Q

What spinal cord segments are involved in a “tail tug”

66
Q

Stiff front legs because of lack of inhibitory neurons going from back legs to front legs is termed…

A

Schiff-Sherrington Occurs with vertebral fractures and laxations.

67
Q

What is the best dx tool for dx’ing vertebral fractures and laxations?

A

MRI- so you know exactly where you need to do surgery

68
Q

Treatment for tail tug

A

Amputate tail and give phenoxybenzamine

69
Q

What would you use to tx spinal cord edema?

70
Q

dCondition that occurs via a lesion of C5-C7 in older Dobies and younger Great Danes.

A

Wobbler’s - Cervical Spondylomyelopathy

72
Q

Congential heart disease that is commonly seen as a Left-Right shunt that causes ECCENTRIC hypertophy. You can hear a machine/water hammer continuous murmur. Can be fixed by closing off with umbilical type.

A

Patent Ductus Arteriosis

PDA

73
Q

What type of shunt in PDA would we see blue MM in the back of the animal i.e the vagina?

A

Right - Left shunt in PDA

74
Q

This congential heart disease affects large breed dogs and causes CONCENTRIC hypertrophy.

Using a doppler can tell us the severity of the disease.

A

Aortic Stenosis

75
Q

This congential heart disease affects beagles, bulldogs, chihuahas, and spanials. It caused concentric hypertrophy of the right ventricles. If you do a balloon valvuloplasty the animal could have a good prognosis.

EKG will show VPDs.

A

Pulmonic Stenosis

76
Q

This congenital heart disease that can be seen in cats and is characterized by a “hole in the heart”.

If the murmur is loud that means the hole is small which means a better prognosis and no treatment necessary.

A

Ventricular Septal Defect

77
Q

This congenital defect is found in Keeshonds and Bulldogs. It causes the MM to be blue in the front and pink in the back.

It consists of pulmonic stenosis, ocerriding aorta, VSD, and enlarged right ventricle.

A

Tetralogy of Fallot

78
Q

This congenital defect can cause regurgiation in cats and large breed dogs because of dysplasia of the valves/muscles of the heart.

A

AV Valve Insuffiency

79
Q

This congential heart disease is found in german shepards. At 3 months you can see VPDs, VTs, and sudden death. If caught early can be treated with SOTALOL + Mexilitene till 18 months.

A

Inhertied Ventricular Arrhythmia

80
Q

This cardiomyopathy causes sudden death in Dobermans. Causes decreased contractility and VPDs and left sided CHF. You can diagnoses with an ultrasound because the ventricles are enlarged and flappy.

81
Q

How would you treat DCM?

A

Furosemide for the edema

Pimobendan to improve contractility

ACE to blunt RAAS response

82
Q

This cardiomyopathy in cats is caused by a taurine deficiency.

83
Q

This cardiomyopathy is the most common in cats especially seen in middle aged mainecoon and ragdolls.

It will have CONCENTRIC hypertropy(increased cells, reduced chamber).

Signs include rear limb lameness and paralysis.

84
Q

What causes the lameness and paralysis in cats with HCM?

A

Thromboembolism

85
Q

How can we treat the thromboembolisms in cats with HCM?

A

Heparin

DO NOT USE ASPIRIN

86
Q

VPDs are seen with this cardiomyopathy in Boxers.

A

ARVC of Boxers

87
Q

How would we treat a Boxer with ARVC that has VPDs over 1000/day?

88
Q

This cardiomyopathy seen in King Charles Spainels, and has thickened chordae tendonae that can rupture.

**The cardiac output is normal in these dogs despite have increased contractility**

The dogs are usually happy and normal with a cough.

A

Myxomatous Atrioventricular Valve Disease

89
Q

Dump: What is used to treat pulmonary edema?

A

Furosemide
