Q

High sodium in the brain inhibits what?

What does this result in?

A
  • Inhibits anaerobic glycolysis

- Results in lack energy necessary for active transport of sodium

17
Q

What does sodium trapped in the brain attract?

What does this result in?

A
  • Attracts water (osmotic gradient)

- Results in cerebral edema

18
Q

What are 2 clinical signs seen early with water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis?

A
  • Constipation

- Thirst

19
Q

What are 3 other clinical signs that can be seen with water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis?

A
  • Vomiting
  • Polyuria
  • Metabolic acidosis
20
Q

What is a CNS sign that can be seen with water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis?

A

Intermittent convulsive seizures

21
Q

Can the seizures seen with water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis be elicited by external stimuli?
How long do they last?

A
  • No

- From 0.5 to 2-3 minutes

22
Q

Circling, pivoting, head-pressing, blindness, deafness can all be seen with what toxicosis?

A

Water deprivation- sodium ion toxicosis

23
Q

Which species shows only signs of depression, ascites and collapse with water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis?

24
Q

T/F: Gastric congestion or inflammation with pinpoint ulcers can be seen with water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis.

25
Q

Fluid can be seen in what 2 places with water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis?

A
  • Body cavities

- Organ edema

26
Q

There can be prominent edema seen where with water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis?

A

Cerebral edema

27
Q

What is histopathologically pathognomonic in pigs that die early from water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis?

A

Eosinophilic meningoencephalitis

28
Q

Serum and CSF levels of sodium above what concentration is considered diagnostic for water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis?

A

160 mEq/L or more

29
Q

Brain sodium concentrations above what level support a diagnosis of water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis?

30
Q

What 4 things are used to diagnose water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis?

A
  • History
  • Encephalitic signs
  • Lesions
  • Lab diagnosis
31
Q

What are 4 differential diagnoses for water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis?

A
  • Encephalitic diseases (Trauma, tumor, heat stroke, viral encephalomyelitic conditions)
  • Chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides
  • Roxarsone
  • Pseudorabies
32
Q

How should water be given in the treatment of water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis?

A

Small amounts of fresh water gradually over 2-3 days

33
Q

Giving water in large amounts with water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis can do what?

A

Kill animal by aggravating cerebral edema

34
Q

What are 2 types of fluids that can be used for water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis treatment in small animals?

A
