A 9 year old is straining and produces ribbon like feces. The findings on 2 diagnostic procedures you performed are shown. What is your diagnosis?
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
In young bulls. Caused by B. Abortus, A pyogenes, and H somnus. Vesicular glands painful. Loss of lobulation. Treat with tetracyclines
Vesiculitis
When did the LH peak occur
Tuesday
Causes abortion, maceration, placental necrosis, and no signs in queens
Feline Herpes virus
Plant that causes summer slump in cattle
Fescue
Pestivirus. Hairy shaker lambs. Oral transmission leading to EED and congenital defects. Weak lambs result. Test with virus isolation and cull or isolate new animals.
Border disease virus (BDV)
Estrus in the sheep lasts
30 hours
CIDRs used for ______ in sheep/goats (progesterone)
12-14 days
Only works for hormonal manipulation during breeding season in sheep and goats. Given in 2 doses 9 days apart.
Prostaglandins
Flagellated Protozoa. Primarily in preputial crypts. Transmitted during coitus and establishes in tract. Causes fetal loss, usually EED. Bulls are reservoirs. Diagnose with herd history and gradual increase in infertility. Abortions rarely past 150 days, also preputial wash and aspiration onto Diamonds media or InPouch. Tx: Only in negative cultures or bulls less than 4 years old. Use AI, Cull bulls, sexual rest for cows for 3 cycles. Vaccine available.
Tritrichomonas foetus
Can be transmitted in utero, usually caused fetal death. Resorption or abortion. Kittens can carry infection
FeLV
Common in Herefords. Early and late breeding season. Bull misses vagina and thrusts. Reduces volume and increases pressure in CCP. 75000 mmHg requires to rupture tunica albuginea. Ruptures dorsal aspect of distal bend of sigmoid flexure. Swelling cranial to the scrotum Sexual rest for 60 days. Only 50% return to service.
Penile Hematoma
In this animal has embryo migration from right to left on day 8-9
Llama
Introducing buck after none present for 30 days causing LH surge, silent ovulation, and a short cycle leading to fertile heats
Buck effect
Increased nutrient uptake 20-30%, 2-3 weeks prior to breeding. Done 8 weeks prior in rams
Flushing
Not indicated in routine Bull soundness exams
Test mating
Prepuce is torn from connection to free portion of penis, Seen in stud bulls as AV injury
Preputial avulsion
In sheep and goats can be manipulated by hormonal manipulation, and manipulation of lights and melatonin
Anestrous
Causes arthrogryposis of forelimbs and curvature of the spine. Ingestion between 50-75 days.
Tobacco Nicotiana glauca
Gram negative coccobacillus. Intracellular. Once was most important disease in cattle in USA. Eradication program started 1934. Zoonotic (Undulant Fever). Transmitted via mucus membranes and causes fetal bacteremia and choriollantoic necrosis and abortion. Bulls can be carriers and so is frozen semen. Biggest sign is abortion during 5th month, followed by RFM and metritis Dx: Intercotyledonary areas are like Moroccan leather. Isolate organism. Tx: Reportable. Vaccinate below 1 year of age. Special ear tag
Brucella abortus
Acutely infected queen arrests fetal development causing abortion of infected kittens. Post natal can be transmitted in milk.
FIV
Examined with a small amount of semen diluted with saline. P
Progressive motility
Minimally required normal morphology for bulls
70%
T/F the queen is a long day seasonal breeder
True
Most common cause of dystocia in the queen
Primary uterine inertia
Estrus determined in the ewe by
Vulvar swelling and anorexia
Stage in cat that only occurs when ovulation is induced. Usually 65 days or 40 days if pseusdopregnancy
Diestrus
Most causes of abortion in sheep and goats are
Zoonotic
Pyrethroid insecticides do not appear to cause harmful effects on
Bull fertility
Failure of cervix to completely dilate. Common in ewe, heritable. Treat with C section
Ringwomb
Minimum scrotal circumference in the bull <15 months old
30 cm
Acts to cause luteolysis. Will occur at any time given after day 5-6. No effect on placental P4 production
PGF
Gradual accumulation of excessive amniotic fluid. Fetal dysfunction. Prevents swallowing or intestinal transport of amniotic fluids
Hydamnios
Time period for formation of the CL

Apical Ligament of bull penis is too long
Rainbow/ventral deviation
Sperm defect that originates in the testis during spermatogenesis. Production problem, usually involves head and middle piece
Primary morphological abnormalities
Occurs in male tortoise shell or calico cats.
testicular hypoplasia
In cat, stage of estrus cycle when ovulation has occurred
Diestrus
Found in normal repro tract. Causes granular vulvovaginitis and salpingitis. Sporadic cause of abortion.
Mycoplasma and Ureoplasma
Agent most likely responsible for clinically sick cow that aborts
Listeria
Incomplete separation of the penis and prepuce. Causes ventral deviation. Surgical excision to treat. Heritable.
Persistent Frenulum
A sperm defect that originates in the epididymis. Transit defect
Secondary morphological abnormalities
Localized dilation of spermatic vein. More common in rams
Varicocele
Gestation in the doe
150 days
T/F Pyometra is a disease of postpubertal bitches in anestrus
False
In cat, period between successive estrus periods if no ovulation, no luteal tissue on overly so no progesterone. Can be 8-10 days before next receptivity
Post estrus
