A

Streptococcus zooepidemicus is a commensal aerobic bacteria associated respiratory infections.

22
Q

A
  • Lung worms: Dictocaulus arnfieldi
  • Roundworms: parascaris equorum.
23
Q

_____ is the most common pathogen associated secondary fungal pneumonia.

A

Aspergillus is the most common pathogen associated secondary fungal pneumonia.

24
Q

____________ is a major contributor for bacterial pneumonia and pleuropneumonia

A

Physiologic stress is a major contributor for bacterial pneumonia and pleuropneumonia

25
Q

How do transportaiton and exercise contribute to the development of cough?

A
  • Transportation: Head elevated & secure (compromise mucocilliary clearance mechanism), dehydration (↓ secretions)
  • Exercise: high intensity exercise results in ↓ peripheral blood neutrophil function, oxidative burst of pulmonary alveolar macrophages, EIPH
26
Q

What kind of synthetic surfaces are associated with aspiration?

A

Synthetic surface → fibers, sand, rubber, coated with wax

27
Q

Stomach tube, choke, LH, dysphagia (neonatal encephalopathy, botulism, guttural pouch disease, strangles) are all causes of _______.

A

Aspiration.

28
Q

What are the affects of carboxyhemoglobin?

A

Carboxyhemoglobin: ↓ ability for O2 to be released at the tissue site leading to hypoxia

29
Q

What are the results of smoke inhalation? How can it be diagnosed?

A

Carboxyhemoglobin (diagnosis >10%)

Severe bronchoconstriction

Pseudomembranous cast

30
Q

What are the factors related to the development of cough during anesthesia?

A
  • Transtracheal Intubation: excessive cuff pressure → tracheal necrosis
  • Dorsal recumbency
  • Anesthetics cause depression of the respiratory defense mechanism
31
Q

What are the primary lung tumrs in the horse?

A

granular cell tumor, pulmonary chondrosarcoma

32
Q

A horse presents thin, with a dull attitude, tachypneic with increased respiratory effort. The presenting complaints are

Occasional Dry Cough, Exercise intolerance and Acute Respiratory Distress.

↑ WBC count, ↑ fibrinogen, anemia, lymphopenia.

Radiographs show

a diffuse bronchointerstitial pattern with multiple coalescing circular nodules throughout the lung field.

What is the most likely diagnosis?

Arterial blood gas: hypoxemia, hypercapnia, respiratory acidosis.

36
Q

What does U/S assess vs. Radiographs in foal pneumonia?

A

A

• Complications: cellulitis & chondritis

38
Q

TRUE/FALSE

When treating foal pneumonia, chronic pneumonias rarely require fluid therapy.

A

TRUE.

Fluid therapy should be used in the event of acute/hypovolemic patients.

39
Q

You perform a TTW in a foal with pneumonia and submit samples for cytology. Match the infectious agent with the appropriate treatment:

  • Rhodococcus Equi
  • Bacteroides fragilis (anaerobe)

Treatments (note: some may not be used, some may be combined)

  • Clarithromycin
  • TMS
  • Aminoglycosides
  • Rifampin
  • Penicillin
  • Metronidazole
  • Ceftiofur
    *
A
  • Penicillin: most common pathogen S. zooepidemicus
  • Ceftiofur: convenient in foals
  • Combination of TMS or aminoglycoside
  • Clarithromycin and Rifampin: Rhodococcus qui
  • Metronidazole: anaerobes (Bacteroides fragilis)
40
Q

What is the benefit of using aerosolized anti-microbials? Which are commonly used?

  • Reach 12 times higher concentration than iV administration with lower toxicity
  • Gentamicin & ceftiofur
41
Q

You treat your foal with an anti-microbial for its foal pneumonia. What else can you use?

A
  • Anti-inflammatory:
  • NSAIDs: phenylbutazone, flunixin meglumine
  • Corticosteroids: if unresponsive to antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory therapy
  • Bronchodilators: albuterol, clenbuterol
  • Palatable feed: green grass → monitor body weight
  • Stall rest
  • Immune modulators: IFN-y
  • Antivirals: acyclovir, valacyclovir
42

TRUE/FALSE

When treating foal pneumonia, steroids should only be used if they are unresponsive to antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory therapy.
