How long does it take for clinical effects to occur in rat bait poisoning

A

1-3 days

18
Q

What coagulation test results does haemophilia resut in

A

APTT increased
Increased WBCT

19
Q

What coagulation test results does vitamin K antagonist (rat bait) toxicity result in

A

increased WBCT
increased OSPT
increased APTT

20
Q

What coagulation test results does hepatic disease result in?

A

Increased OSPT
increased APTT

21
Q

What is fibrinogen

A

the end product of the coagulation cascade
converted by thrombin into fibrin during blood coagulation
fibrin then cross linked by factor XIII to form clot

22
Q

List 3 things that can result in increased fibrinogen concentrations

A

DIC
potential bleeding
liver problem

23
Q

What would result in decreased fibrinogen concentrations?

A

-Viral and bacterial infections
-Kidney disease
-Traumatic injuries or surgery
-Cancer
-Heart disease
-Canine pregnancy

24
Q

When is D-dimer concentration in the blood increased?

A

Thrombosis occuring
Fibrinolysis occuring

25
Q

What are some examples of pro-thrombotic states in animals?

A

DIC
feline thromboembolic disease
protein losing nephropathy
hyperadrenocorticism

26
Q

What is the pathophysiology behind disseminated intravascular coagulation?

A

-Excessive activation o haemostatic pathways results in high thrombin and microvascular thrombi
-Coagulation factors and platelets are depleted leading to haemorrhage

27
Q

What are the main triggers for DIC?

A

-Endothelial damage: electrocution, heat stroke, sepsis
-Platelet activation: mainly viral (FIP)
-Release of tissue procoagulants: trauma, pancreatitis, bacterial infections

28
Q

What infectious agents are implicated in causing DIC?

A

-Bacterial sepsis
-Viral disease (FIP)
-Protozoa (Babesia Canis)
-Parasites (A.vasorum)

29
Q

What neoplasias are implicated in causing DIC?

A

-Metastatic tumours are overrepresented
-Haemangiosarcomas
-Haematopoietic
-Cholangiocarcinoma
-Pancreatic adenocarcinoma

30
Q

What inflammatory/necrotic processes are implicated in causing DIC?

A

IMHA
-Pancreatitis
-Hepatitis
-Vasculitis
-GDV
-Hepatic lipidosis (cats)

31
Q

What test results can be indicative of DIC?

A

-Thrombocytopaenia or platelets consistently dropping in normal range
-Hypofibrinogenaemia
-Increased fibrinogen degradation products (D-dimer high)
-Schistocytes

32
Q

In what rabbit diseases is subacute and acute death caused y DIC?

A

-RHDV
-RHDV2
