16
Q

What are the complications associated with penile hair rings?

A
  • necrosis of urethra resulting in fistula

- amputation of glans penis

17
Q

What is the etiology of persistent frenulum?

A
  • incomplete separation of penis and prepuce
  • penis cannot extend, resulting in ventral deviation
  • heritable
18
Q

What is the treatment for persistent frenulum?

A

surgical excision

19
Q

What breed of bull is more susceptible to preputial injuries?

A

Bos indicus

- sheath hangs lower

20
Q

What is the conservative therapy for preputial lacerations?

A
  • clean damaged tissues
  • emollient ointment “petercillin”
  • bandaging and slings
21
Q

What is the pre-surgical therapy for preputial lacerations?

A
  • reduce edema
  • petercillin
  • prophylactic antibiotics
22
Q

What are the surgical treatments for preputial lacerations?

A
  • resection and anastomosis
  • amputation of affected prepuce
  • preputial reconstruction
23
Q

Which breed of cattle is more predisposed to penile hematoma?

A

Hereford

24
Q

How does a penile hematoma usually occur?

A
  • bull misses vagina on breeding thrust, penis hits rear of cow or cow slips and goes down
  • penis bends rapidly
  • reduces volume and increases pressure of CCP
  • ruptures at dorsal aspect of distal bend of sigmoid flexure
25
Q

What are the clinical signs of penile hematoma?

A

swelling of sheath immediately cranial to base of scrotum

26
Q

What is the conservative/medical treatment for penile hematoma?

A
  • sexual rest for 60 days at least
  • systemic antibiotics
  • hydrotherapy
27
Q

What is the surgical treatment for penile hematoma?

A
  • perform 3-7 days after injury
  • repair defect in tunica albuginea
  • post-op antibiotics
  • minimum 60 days sexual rest
28
Q

What is preputial avulsion?

A

prepuce is torn off from connection to free portion of penis

29
Q

Why does an S-shaped penile deviation occur?

A

apical ligament is too short

30
Q

Why does a rainbow/ventral penile deviation occur?

A

apical ligament is too long

31
Q

Why does a corkscrew or spiral penile deviation occur?

A

apical ligament cannot be maintained in normal position

32
Q

Which organisms are the usual cause of vesiculitis?

A

B. abortus
A. pyogenes
H. somnus

33
Q

What are the clinical features of vesiculitis?

A
  • vesicular glands painful on palpation

- loss of lobulation

34
Q

How is vesiculitis treated?

A

tetracyclines

35
Q

Which organisms are the usual cause of epididymitis?

A

T. pyogenes

B. abortus

36
Q

What is the clinical manifestation of epididymitis?

A
  • swollen and painful early in disease

- becomes small, hard, and misshapen

37
Q

How is epididymitis treated?

A

tetracyclines
