Q

What are some pros/cons of inactivated vaccines?

A

Pros: safe for pregnant/immunocompromised animals, no reversion to virulence, longer shelf-life
Cons: need adjuvant/multiple doses, slower onset, more expensive

Q

What are some pros/cons of modified live vaccines?

A

Pros: less adverse reactions, stronger/longer-lasting immune response, stimulates innate immunity, more closely mimics natural infection
Cons: potential reversion to virulence, viral replication in preggo/immunocompromised animals

21
Q

Why shouldn’t you vaccinate before 5 months of age?

A

They will not be protected into adulthood

22
Q

Which type of vaccines are more efficient in protection?

A

MLV

23
Q

Why must you be careful when vaccinating a pregnant cow with a MLV?

A

Potential to cross placenta

24
Q

What happens if you give >2 gram negative vaccines at once?

A

overwhelm immune system and lead to hyperimmunity

25
Q

If a calf is still receiving maternal Ab, what type of responses will you see from the vaccination immunity?

A

Formation of memory B cells
Increased T cell response
Prolonged Ab titers
Increased disease protection

26
Q

What vaccines should be administered to dairy heifers at:
Weaning (2 months)
Breeding (14 months)
Calving (24 months)

A

Weaning: 7-way clostridial, MLV resp vaccine, +/- Lepto (repeat in 2-4 weeks)
Breeding: MLV resp vaccine, Lepto bacterin, Clostridial
Calving: E. coli, Scour vaccine

27
Q

What is the typical posture of a cow with cardiac disease?

A

Arched back, rigid extended neck

DDx: Pericarditis, lung disease, abdominal pain, musculo-skeletal

28
Q

What IC spaces is the heart auscultated in cattle?

A

IC spaces 3-5

29
Q

What is the HR of cattle, SR and camels?

A

Cow: 50-80
SR: 80-100
Camel: 50-90

30
Q

What are the following murmurs typically caused by?

A

Physiological murmur: anemia
Pathological systolic: AV insufficiency or aortic/pulmonary stenosis
Diastolic: aortic/pulmonary insufficiency
Pre-systolic: AV valve stenosis

31
Q

What are the four mechanisms of edema?

A

Hydrostatic (most common)

Increased capillary permeability
Lymphatic obstruction

32
Q

Where is the jugular pulse observable at?

A

Thoracic inlet (carotid pulse & closure of mitral valve)

33
Q

If you perform a jugular distention test and the jugular remains distended, what does this mean?

A

The CVP is increased

34
Q

If there is jugular filling with small jugular pulse, what would you suspect?

A

Cardiac tamponade

Fluid accumulation in pericardial sac, pressure on heart & inlets of large veins

35
Q

What are two causes of cardiac tamponade?

A

Traumatic pericarditis

Tri-cavity effusion

36
Q

If there is jugular filling with moderate to strong jugular pulse what would you suspect?

A

CHF/AV valve insufficiency

37
Q

What are two causes of CHF and AV valve insufficiency in cattle?

A
