Respiratory 1 Flashcards
Give 5 examples of acquired airway obstruction
- progressive ethmoid hematomas
- nasopharyngeal
- laryngeal paralysis
- laryngeal and tracheal edema
- tracheal edema and hemorrhage syndrome
progressive ethmoid hematomas are mostly dx in
older horses (thoroughbreds and Arabians)
Nasopharyngeal polyps are commonly dx in
young cats (1-3yrs), horses can get them too (nasal)
where do nasopharyngeal polyps usually originate
from the middle ear or auditory tube
compare and contrast laryngeal paralysis between dogs and horses
horses: left side mostly affected (unilateral)
Dogs: bilateral, can be associated with generalized neuromuscular disorders
Both: similar muscle and nerve changes, both most commonly idiopathic
Laryngeal and tracheal edema is secondary to
acute inflammation like anaphylaxis
true or false, laryngeal tracheal edema causes fluid to build up in the lumen of the trachea
false, its the edema in the lining of the trachea that causes the tissue to block the airway- you cannot drain this fluid out of the lumen
tracheal edema and hemorrhage syndrome is also called? Occurs commonly in?
Honker syndrome, feed lot cattle
Why does TEHS occur in feedlot cattle
they’re heavier and under more stress, the rapid breathing causes mechanical damage which then is further damaged as it swells into the airway
Inclusion body rhinitis is caused by
suid herpesvirus 2
what age group of piglets will become systemically ill from inclusion body rhinitis
under 3 weeks
what clinical and histological signs will you see with inclusion body rhinitis
clinical - catarrhal rhinitis
histo- cytomegaly with large intranuclear viral inclusion bodies
Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis is caused by
bovine herpesvirus 1
why are secondary bacterial infections common in IBR
because bovine herpesvirus 1 is an alphaherpesvirus which causes lytic and necrotic infection of epithelium- easy for bacteria to get in there
what lesions are associated with IBR
hyperemia lesions with petechial hemorrhage and pustules leading to fibro necrotic membrane formation
on histo examination what will you see with IBR
epithelial cell lysis and necrosis, pink intranuclear inclusions
what are differential dx for IBR
aspiration of chemicals (stomach acid)
other virus like BPIV3
Feline viral rhinotracheitis is caused by
feline herpesvirus 1, an alphaherpesvirus like BHV1
what gross lesions do you see with feline viral rhinotracheitis
crusting around the eyes and nose, erosion of the nasal mucosa VERY RARE to see ulceration of the tongue
what are differential dx for cats with herpesvirus infection? how do you differentiate?
feline calicivirus- oral ulcers are a characteristic lesions and not common in herpes
chlamydia felis - not a virus
what are the 3 examples of viral rhinitis given in class, what are they caused by?
inclusion body rhinitis in pigs
infectious bovine rhinotracheitis in cows
feline viral rhinotracheitis
all caused by herpesviruses (beta, alpha, alpha)
what are the two examples of bacterial rhinitis given in class
atrophic in pigs and equine strangles
when is atrophic rhiitis commonly dx in pigs
6-12 weeks of age
