Test 2- Ruminants Flashcards
Xylazine does not work in Rumiants T/F?
FALSE- Ruminants are the most sensitive species to the effects of Xylazine
Xylazine can produce
hyperglycemia(hypoinsulinemia)
Do standing sedations have higher or loser doses than general?
Lower
What is the concentration of xylazine?
20 mg/Ml
What do you reverse xylazine with?
Yohimbine and Atipamazol or tolazline
caudal epidural local
obstetric procedures and rectal tenesmus; standing procedures for laparotomy; rumentomy, celitomy
3 yr Heifer displaced abomasom
Xylazine; paravertebral thoracolumbar block
What are the SE of reversing xylazine?
brady/tachycardia
When is general anesthesia required?
more extensive or prolonged procedures; dorsal recumbency
In prep for GA, fast cattle for?
at least 24 hours
Do we give anticholergics a lot?
not to cattle because they decrease GI motility
Some sedation/premed proteins
Ace, Xylazine, Detomidine, But
GG is used for
can be used for induction
Adv/Dis of GG
Adv- little/no CV/respiratory distress and will reduce amount of induction drugs- very good relaxation
Dis- slower induction; large volume of drug to administer so must have good control
How should the legs be during ruminant sx?
legs are parallel to prevent nerve damage and muscle myopathy
Monitoring?
auricular artery- for direct blood pressure monitoring
What monitor can you not sure in LA?
Doppler
ETCO2 normals
55-60
Ruminates will ____ a lot during sx
salivate; anticholingerics will NOT decrease salivation- they will only make it more viscous- do not sue unless necessary to treat bradycardia
Ruminate HR
60-80
RR
8-10
How do cows recover?
cattle recover well and calmly and do not make premature attempts to stand
Can you use xyalzine in sheep?
use with extreme caution
What is the maintenance O2 flow rate in a sheep?
