Q

How did suction pump aspiration compared to manual aspiration in retrieval of BAL fluid in dogs with respiratory disease?

A

percentage of retrieved BALF (P = .001) was significantly higher for SPA than MA. Substantial agreement was found between cytologic classification of BALF obtained with MA and SPA (kappa = 0.615). There was no significant difference in rate of definitive diagnosis achieved with cytologic assessment between techniques (P = .78)
Suction pump aspiration, compared to MA, improved BALF retrieval, but did not significantly affect the rate of diagnostic success of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in dogs with pulmonary disease.

Q

What is true regarding giving an intranasal MLV against FHV-1 and FCV in kittens intranasally inoculated with B. bronchiseptica?

A

First 10 days after B. bronchiseptica challenge, vaccinated cats were less likely to be clinically ill than control cats

This nonspecific immunity could be beneficial for protection against organisms for which vaccines are not available and as protection before development of vaccine-induced humoral immunity
