What are two gram positive bacteria that like to cause pneumonia? Think of the first two gra positives you know...
Streptococcus
Staphylococcus
What is a disease and a surgery that predispose to aspiration pneumonia?
LarPar and The tie back surgery both put patient at risk for aspiration.

Asp pneumonia collects bugs = bacterial pneumonia
Immunosuppression can definitelt predispose a dog to bacterial pneumonia. Whats a disease that causes a patient thats always "stressed" ie lymphopenic.
Cushings
True or false. Cough, difficulty breathing, this animal just ADR. Does he have to have a fever to have bacterial pneumonia?
No
Alveolar fluid produces which lung sound?
Crackles
Who gets wheezes again?
Asthmatic cats (feline bronchitis)
If youre going to accidentally inhale a coin, which lung lobe is it going to drop into?
Right middle lung lobe

(it is the most vertical/ventral one)
If your dog is going to aspirate, what lung lobe will be most affected?
Right middle
What kind of lung pattern do you see with bact pneumonia?
Interstitial to an alveolar pattern, known as an air bronchogram
What kind of ET tube do you use to perform a transtracheal wash? Why?
A sterile one! Were collecting shtuff for culture and cytology, we dont want any contamination.
When you do a TTW the catheter should go no further than the...
Tracheal bifurcation
How many times a day should you give a dog with pneumonia antitussives?
Zero times a day!

Let him cough that garbage out of his lungs.
If you have a patient with bacterial pneumonia in the hospital which of the following is FALSE:

Keep him hydrated (iv fluids, nebulizer)
Do not give cough suppressants
Perform coupage (thump his chest to help break up the yuck and encourage him to cough it up)
Strict cage rest, movement should be avoided
Love him
The false statement is that movement should be avoided. You dont want an animal lying around all day on its side you know? You want him to be up and walking around every few hours to help move the gunk from his lungs.
Animal has bacterial pneumonia. At what point will you stop giving antibiotics
About a week after radiographic resolution (ie a week after his lungs look good)
Hooks should have named Avery Kelli. Why?
Because paragonimus Kellicotti is a fluke that dogs get when they eat crawfish
P kellicotti tends to setup shot in which lung lobes? Cranial middle or caudal?
Caudal
Eosinophilic bronchopneumopathy will be referred to as EBp from here on out. Give me a signalment for this dz
Young dog, huskies like to get it.
If a young husky comes in coughing, gagging, and retching, with a fever of 104.6 and a history of 3 days anorexia, Does this fit with EBp?
No because EBp is usu In dogs that are BAR, theyre just coughing, gagging, retching...kinda like during todays midterm haha =)
On cytology, whats the major cell seen with EBp?
Eosinophilsssss. I hope this is a question
What are four things that could cause an eosinophilic inflammation to the airways ie EBp?
Heartworm!
Parasites!
Drugs reaction!
Inhaled allergens (rumor has it there are dogs allergic to human dander haa)
So ignoring this class what have we always known about eosinophils?
Theyre associated with alleric reactions or parasites
Since parasites are a major cause of an eosinophilic response, it is never ever wrong to give a dog with EBp a few rounds of dewormer juuuust in case were having trouble diagnosing them
True. CYA with dewormer
Why are you going to calculate an immunosuppressive dose of prednisone to give to your Husky with EBp?
To calm down his damn immune system. Enough eosinophils already!!
What are the three "ways" we can give pred... Like the three different doses do what?
Physiological dose
Anti inflammatory dose
Immunosuppressive dose
What is more POTENT? Pred or dexamethasone?
Dexamethasone! You only need about a tenth the dose of dex as you do pred
What kind of cancer are you going to get in your lungs?
Carcinomas
True or false. Primary lung tumors are much more common than mets to the lungs.
False. Boobs and bones like to mets to the lungs



(aka mammary carcinomas and osteosarcomas....you def already know that about osteosarcoma)
What is an interesting fact about diagnosing pulmonary neoplasia?
Its usually an incidental finding. They will prob be coughing or whatever but signs of severe respiratory dz are usually absent.
Whats your main sign of pulmonary neoplasia?
Exercise intolerance
haha true or false. Any primary chest lesion can cause HO to the abaxial digits.
True duh
What is always a (rare) side effect you have to inform owners of before doing a lung biopsy?
Pneumothorax
What would a miliary lung pattern tell you?
Youre dealing with mets or fungal
How do you treat primary lung tumors? Chemo or removal?
Removal.
Before we take $3000 from mrs carcin and remove her dumb dog muffintop's lung tumor where should we check for metastasis?
Muffins lymph nodes. If there is mets to the LN her medial survival time is going to drop from over a year to a MONTH. Check the lymph nodes!!
Crackles are commonly ausculted when there is fluid on the lungs. We moght hear crackles with bacterial pneumonia. Whats another time well definitely hear crackles?
Pulmonary edema
Whats your biggest cause of pulmonary edema (which we will discuss at length next term) yeay.
Cardiac dz--> vascular overload (aka incr hydrostatic pressure)
True or false. Bloody foam coming out of the nose and moth are a good sign.
False. Definitely NOT a good sign. Death is coming.
A cat comes in tachypnic (sp?) and looks like its about to die. You obviously need to know whats going on before you can do anything so you bring it into the xray room, set your machine, put big scary gloves on, and pin it to the table to take a radiograph. True or false.
Ummm false. Do a chest tap! Get her on oxygen! Nobody needs pictures of a dead cat!
