Past Qs Flashcards
What are two signs of lower airway disease?
Increased expiratory time
Wheeze
What can help definitively diagnose primary respiratory viral pathogens?
PCR panels
T/F: Unlike other body systems, neoplasia involving the nose is typically identified in younger animals
False
T/F: Approximately 80% of cats with an acute upper respiratory tract infection will have chronic clinical signs of disease
True
T/F: Stertor is a sound that localizes a problem to the respiratory tract (cranial to larynx)
True
T/F: Rhinoscopy should always be preformed before CT or MRI since it is cheaper and more likely to identify disease
False
T/F: The organism responsible for nasal aspergillosis is different from the organism found in systemic disease
True
T/F: Primary bacterial rhinitis is a very common problem in cats, but not dogs
False
Name disease:
6 y/o F GSD with chronic nasal discharge and epistaxis
Nasal aspergillosis
Name disease:
3 y/o M GSP with acute sneezing, unilateral mucopurulent nasal discharge
Nasal foreign body
Name disease:
1.5 y/o MN DSH with stertor, mucopurulent nasal discharge
Nasopharyngeal polyp
Name disease:
12 y/o FS Golden Retriever with bilateral mucopurulent nasal discharge
Nasal adenocarcinoma
Name disease: 6y/o MN DSH with seasonal mucopurulent nasal discharge
Allergic rhinitis
What should all cats be vaccinated for as part of a routine protocol?
Herpes
Calicivirus
T/F: Preventing a biopsy instrument form passing beyond the level of the medial canthus should prevent accidental brain biopsy
True
Name disease:
10 y/o M with chronic dry cough, decreased inspiration:expiration ratio
Chronic bronchitis
Name disease:
0.6 y/o MN Golden Ret with acute np cough
Infections tracheobronchitis
Name disease:
6 y/o Pomeranian with chronic progressive, np loud cough, increased inspiration:expiration ratio
Collapsing trachea
Name disease:
6 y/o MN standard poodle with acute productive cough, trachypnea, dyspnea
Bacterial pneumonia
Name disease:
6 y/o FS DSH with np cough, tachypnea, dyspnea, decreased inspiration:expiration ratio
Asthma
T/F: Antibiotics are always necessary in cases of aspiration pneumonitis
False
T/F: True respiratory distress should not result from nasal disease
True
T/F: A significant increase in expiratory time is a classic part of the respiratory distress associated with laryngeal paralysis
False
T/F: Steroids and bronchodilators are often used in treatment protocols for feline asthma and canine chronic bronchitits
True
T/F: Long-acting steroids are preferred for chronic dosing because the decreased treatment frequency lessens the risk of side effects
False
T/F: A negative Baermann fecal test rules out parasitic pulmonary disease as a primary process in dogs and cats presented for chronic cough
False
T/F: A negative heartworm antigen test rules out heartworm infection as primary process in dogs and cats presented for chronic coughing
False
T/F: Thoracic radiographs can be performed to help determine whether a cough is a primary pulmonary process in dogs presenting for chronic cough
True
T/F: The typical clinical signs of canine influenza are very similar to those of “kennel cough”
True
What is NOT a sign of brachycephalic syndrome?
Crackles
