dirrofilaria immitis

A

organism transmitted by mosquitos, the mosquitios pick up microfilaria in blood and develop into l3/l3 then are depositied onto skin and migrate into vascularization

biopsy- and stage-minimum database regional LN aspirates and thoracic rads
-surgical incision with wide margins and useful with radiation therapy
- mostly use carboplatin and cisplatin
-human vaccine can be used for after is develops because tyrosinase is a human protein

FNA results in reactive bone US guided
pulmonary mets check for
-nuclear scintigraphy-bone scan
ELEvated ALP

Q

diabetes

A

ska common and pups and polyphagia and weight loss common, plantigrade stance for nerves losing potency and tendon laxity- present hyperglycemia and glucouai and high insulin when glucose high can get cataracts, and then with dka=weakness vomiting and severe metabolic acidosis bg greater than 500 and then have signs of a healthy diabetic
need insulin to that and keep track of it - glipizide and then diet with high fiber
if dka- aggressive fluids and then frequent glucose monitoring - bicarb therapy fro imbalance of metabolism acidosis

cleaners-acids and alkalis do not induce vmit because will damage esoph
paint and varnich-do not induce vomit for risk of aspiration pneumonia
garbage gut- penitrem A fine motor tremors, tonic spasms, hyperthermia, ataxia gi decontam can induce vomit as long as not recumbent and h2 blockers for go protectants

40
Q

hyercalcemia

A

total >12 and ionized > 1. 4
supposed to be regulated by path and calcitriol an calcitonin - pup greatest cs and then seizures tremors and constipations and arrytmias goshdarnit- granulomatous, drugs rodenticide neoplasia, idiopathic, oteolisys hyperpth spurrios lab drugs addisons renal failure
cbc chem rads acth
tx-furosemide calcitonon

41
Q

hypot

A

lethargy alopecia pyoderma weight gain check t 4 levels for it mild nonregen anemia and hyper cholesterol
levothyroxine check t4 levels and tsp stim

42
Q

larpar

A

voice change inspiratory stridor and cricartytenoid laterlization is tx and happens in labs golden and saint bernards reccurent left laryngeal paralysis - can also present iwht dyspnea- doxapram can help with diagnosis laryngeal tie back is tx or partial laryngectomy
