Treatment and Control Flashcards
-IV sodium iodide (70 mg/kg of a 10% to 20% solution) is given once and then repeated 1–2 times at 7- to 10- yay intervals 0 mg/kg of a 10% to 20% solution) is given once and then repeated 1–2 times at 7- to 10- day intervals
– if clinical signs of iodine toxicity
develop (including dandruff, diarrhea,
anorexia, coughing, and excessive
lacrimation), iodine administration
should be discontinued
Actinobacillosis
– goal is to kill the bacteria and stop
the spread of the lesion
– IV Sodium Iodide is recommended
Tx although Px is guarder
Actinomycosis
– not advisable
Anthrax
– early treatment with high-dose penicillin or
tetracyclines is essential
– c o n t r o l i s v i a v a c c i n a ti o n w it h C .
haemolyticum bacterin given once or twice
yearly
Bacillary hemoglobinuria
– admini s t ration of multival ent vac c ine
containing C. chauvoie, C. septicum, C. novyi
– move animals from affected pasture
Black leg
“Test and Destruction” for positive animals
Brucellosis
Prolonged antimicrobial tx; consider changing diet
Bovine Cystitis and Pyelonephritis
vaccination or breeding through AI
Bovine Genital Campylobacteriosis
– no satisfactory treatment is known
– prevent exposure of young animals
– identify and cull or segregate infectious adults
Bovine Paratuberculosis
humane euthanasia
Bovine Tuberculosis
broad-spectrum antimicrobials
Calf Diptheria
– culling
– sustained broad-spectrum antimicrobials to lessen bacterial load
– supportive care
Caseous lymphadenitis
– reportable disease
– quarantine / restricted movement
– culling
– vaccination
Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia
– systemic ATBC, topical therapy,
and changes in husbandry to keep
animals dry
Dermatophilosis
– IV antimicrobials early at onset of signs can reduce mortality
– vaccination often have variable success
Hemorrhagic Septicemia
– Streptomycin (25 mg/kg, IM, single dose) is typically used and usually eliminates the renal carrier status
– Oxytetracycline, tulathromycin, and ceftiofur are also reportedly effective
– vaccination is the cheapest control method
Leptospirosis
– reportable disease
– quarantine / restricted movement
– culling
– vaccination
Listeriosis
– anti-inflammatory and antimicrobials
– systemic or intramammary
– antimicrobial sensitivity testing
– environmental hygiene and sanitation
– follow proper milking procedures and protocol
Mastitis
– aggressive mastitis therapy
Mastitis
– admini s t ration of antimicrobials ,dependent on culture and susceptibility testing
– prevention of exposure to contaminated
soil and water
Melioidosis
– antiseptic drainage of pus
– antimicrobials and anti-inflammatory
Subcutaneous Abscess
