Q

What is the condition in this picture?

How does this happen?

A

Ulcer of Preputial Orifice

  • Hair is clipped too short
  • Urine Accumulates
  • Urease-producing organisms produce ammonia
  • Ulceration, Secondary infection
20
Q

What is the condition in the picture and how does it occur?

A

Decubital ulcer in Rams
•Show rams -overweight, little exercise (confined), recumbant
•Resist conservative treatment
•Require surgical excision

21
Q

Decubital ulcers in rams occurs on the ____ aspect of the preputial orifice.

A

Dorsal

22
Q

What is the condition seen in the image?

A

Prolapsed penis

23
Q

____ are predisposed to prolapsed penises because of thir long pendulous prepuces.

A

Bos indicus

24
Q

How can prolapse of the prepuce be treated?

A

Exercise/hydrotherapy to decrease swelling

Support prepuse against body with bandage (early stages only)

25
Q

_____ is a type of stenosis that results in inability to extend the penis.

A

Phimosis

26
Q

_____ is a type of stenosis that results in inability to retract the penis.

A

Paraphimosis

PaRaphimosis - can’t Retract

27
Q

Treatment for stenosis is to remove the scar tissue. What is a complication that may occur from this surgery and how can it be fixed.

A

Cicatrix - minor constriction as a consequence of a circumferential incision

Surgical Treatment: Make a LONGITUDINAL incision and suture TRANSVERSELY

28
Q

What kind of bulls suffer from preputial avulation/penile laceration?

A

AI bulls Only - usually after return from lay off

*Hit artificial vagina so hard that they tear the lamina interna during collection

29
Q

TRUE/FALSE

Preputial avulsion /penile laceration may be related to hypertrophy of the lamina interna of the prepuce.

A

FALSE

possibly related to ATROPHY

30
Q

_____ is the best option to treat preputial avulsion/penile laceration.

A

Prompt surgery

31
Q

What is the condition in the image?

What causes it? How can you treat it?

A

Persistent frenulum

  • Inherited
  • Easily corrected surgically
32
Q

What are the different ways to anesthetize a penis?

A
33
Q

What is the importance of this disorder? How is it treated?

A

Fibropapilloma

Renders bulls unsound for breeding
Treat easiy with crytherapy, sharp dissection, cautery
Can be vaccinated

34
Q

What causes this disorder? How can it be treated?

A

Penile deviation

Caused by premature slip of the apical ligament.
Treat by taking it or adding strips of fascia lata

35
Q

This condition is known as ____. How is it treated?

A

rainbow penis (Ventral deviation)

-treat like other deviaiton - tack or attach fascia lata

36
Q

How can erection failure be differentiated from ventral deviation?

A

Erection failure is a floppy penis - rainbow penis is firm.

May also use Contrast cavernosography

37
Q

This contrast radiography is used to diagnose erection failure (through leakage) and is called ____.

Describe the procedure

A

Contrast cavernosography

Contrast media is inserted into corpus cavernosum

Penis is twisted and radiographs taken

Objective is to get Horizon shot of leak

38
Q

TRUE/FALSE

This is a penile hematoma and is typically self-limiting without serious implications.

A

FALSE

May result in abscess. Bull is out for the season and is usually a death sentence.

Occurs DORSOLATERALLY always

39
Q

What prevents penile hematomas from occuring ventrally?

A

Rectractor penis muscle

40

  • Rectal palpation
  • Ultrasound
42
Q

What is the age of onset for vesiculitis?

A
