signs of leukoencephalomalacia
may resemble viral encephalomyelitidies, hepatic signs, colic
leukoencephalomalacia pathology
white matter-liquefactive necrosis, degeneration: cerebral hemisphere, brainstem, cerebellum, spinal cord
cavitation
leukoencephalomalacia tx
removal of moldy feed
cathartics
steroids/DMSO
Nigropallidal encephalomalacia cause
chronic consumption of yellow star thistle and russian knapweed
Nigropallidal encephalomalacia pathophysiology
repin-depletion of glutathione, lactones, inhibition of dopamine release
Nigropallidal encephalomalacia clinical signs
acute onset of rigidity of muscles of mastication-inability to prehend or masticate food
mouth hands open and tongue partially protrubes, hypertonicity of facial and masticatory muscles
aimless wandering, circling and ataxia
death from starvation
lead poisoning in horses
chronic toxicity
peripheral neuropathies
no acute toxicity
lead poisoning in cattle epidemiology
common
major sources-paint, car batteries, oil
lead poisoning in cattle clinical signs
single large ingestion of lead blindness ataxia head pressing abdominal pain-bloat or diarrhea
lead poisoning in cattle tx
rumenotomy
cathrtics
calcium disodium EDTA
salt poisoning
high dietary sodium loads
oral electrolyte replacements
CNS signs: blindness, ataxia, seizures
sodium levels over 160 mEq/L
organophosphates
product overdose
accidental access to insecticides
inactivate cholinesterases results in over stimulation of PS nerves
clinical signs of organophosphate poisoning
dyspnea diarrhea apparent blindness from miosis protruding tongue drooling bloat collapse
