Q

control strategies for acute resp disease

A

increase immunity (vx), decreasing exposure

21
Q

feline chronic rhinosinusitis causes, C/S, dx, tx

A

secondary to FHV infection. hx nasal disease, recurrent dc, increases w stress

C/S- sneezing, steror, nasal dc, healthy
dx- EXCLUSION
complete oral exam, imaging, rhino, biopsy
tx- abx, air humidification, lysine, antiviral, nasal flushing if significant

22
Q

feline nasal cryptococcus
etiology? dx, tx

A

cryptococcus neoformans/gattii-> inhalation of spores-> granulomatous lesions on nasal bones, nasal cavity

dx- LCAT (serum, CSF)
cytology w india ink
tx- oral/inj antifungal 6m
check titres- prognosis good w/o neuro

23
Q

nasal planum SCC
signalment, dx, tx

A

locally invasive, white cats
dx- biopsy
tx- sx, radiation +/- chemo

24
Q

common tracheal condition types

A

functional/structural. infectious

25
Q

tracheal collapse causes and factors

A

dorsoventral flattening of tracheal rings
intra/extrathoracic trachea

worsened by obesity, chronic coughing, increased resp

26
Q

tracheal collapse signalment, C/S, dx, tx

A

sm breed dogs
goose honk cough, resp distress (cyanosis, dyspnea)

dx- rads, tracheobronchoscopy, fluoroscopy
tx- weight loss, harness, tx concurrent dz, cough suppressant (hydrocodan, torb)
sx (referral)- stent

27
Q

tracheal collapse grading

A

1- 25% collapse, circular rings
2- 50% collapse, dorsal membrane stretched
3- 75% collapse, pendulous membrane
4- 95% collapse

28
Q

tracheal collapse look alkies on rads

A

visible (redundant) tracheal membrane
superimposed esophagus

29
Q

hypoplastic trachea

A

congenital in bulldogs.
tx- treat concurrent disease (BOAS), can have good QOL

30
Q

CIRDC

A

contagious acute onset infection, URT
PI, adenovirus-2, bordetella

31
Q

CIRDC C/S, dx

A

dry hacking cough, sneezing, nasal dc, +/- fever
dx- hx, PE sample w complicated disease
tx- abx

32
Q

tracheal rupture

A

after ET intubation in cats
dx- rads, outline of esophagus
tx- monitor resp status, most heal w/o intervention

33
Q

canine chronic bronchitis
signalment, C/S

A

middle aged-older sm breed dogs
C/S- harsh cough daily >2m, +/- exercise intolerance, increased effort

34
Q

canine chronic bronchitis dx?

A

exclude other causes (heartworm testing, fecal, TXR, airway cytology/culture)

35
Q

canine chronic bronchitis tx?

A

oral pred 1mg/kg/d, taper down
fluticasone inhaler
bronchodilators, weight loss, avoid irritants, humidification

prognosis-inflammation/inflammatory mediators

36
Q

feline asthma pathogenesis

A

airway inflammation-> excessive mucous-> bronchial wall edema-> bronchoconstriction
= airway narrowing

37
Q

feline asthma dx

A

hx, C/S, exclude other dz (bronchitis, heartworm, parasitic, pneumonia)

rads- bronchial pattern, collapse of R middle, hyperinflation
definitive dx-> airway sampling (eosinophils) +culture

Q

feline asthma tx
emergency and chronic

A

emergency:
oxygen, sedation (torb 0.2-0.4mg/kg IV)

chronic: pred 1-2mg/kg/d
fluticasone +salbutamol for flare ups
