|
|
|
T/F Allowing bitches to have a litter of puppies will result in permanent vulvar enlargement, avoiding peri-vulvar dermatitis.
|
F

T/F Castration of a dog decreases the severity of benign prostatic hyperplasia
|
T
|

T/F Ovariectomy probably has an effect on obesity
|
T
|
|
|
T/F There is no significant difference between the progesterone profile of pregnant and non-pregnant bitches
|
T

|
Best method for diagnosing pregnancy?
For counting fetuses? |
U/S diagnosis
Radiography for number |
|
|
T/F B canis serology is very specific
|
F - can get false positives, send to a special lab for confirmation
|
|
|
T/F A sudden decrease in the tone of the vulvar lips is associated indirectly with the occurrence of the LH surge
|
T

|
Vaginal cytology is easier in which species:
cat or dog |
Cat

|
|
When do bitches bleed? vs cows?
|
Bitches - proestral - increasing estrogen
Cow - metestral - estrogen withdrawal |
|
|
What are two forms of chemical "castration/spaying"
|
ZnArginine (intratesticular)
GnRH implant - burns out pituitary after an initial surge |
|
|
A bitch that whelped yesterday shows a greenish vulvar discharge. She is bright, alert and responsive and her puppies are restful, indicating that she has adequate milk production. You think
|
Normal
or could indicate puppy left in utero (too early for RP, and not blood like SIPS) |
|
|
Gestation in bitches is....
|
60 days
|
|
|
Bitches treated for mismating using high doses of estrogens may experience polydipsia because
|
estrogen together with progesterone may induce pyometra
|
|
|
T/F Aglepristone can prevent or terminate pregnancy throughout gestation and is the abortifacient of choice in bitches
|
T. it prevents progesterone from binding to its own receptor sites in the uterus and pregnancy cannot continue
|
|
|
T/F In countries where estradiol cypionate (ECP) is still available it must be used with great caution in bitches
|
T Estradiol cypionate is potentially dangerous in bitches causing irreversible bone marrow suppression and death
|
|
|
Pregnancy in bitches can be diagnosed through:
|
serum fibrinogen
serum relaxin physiologic anemia |
|
|
What should you remember RE vaginal prolapse in bitches
|
surgical resection generally not required
brachycephalic breeds are at highest risk prolapses can regress w/in a week after ovariectomy sutures and not intra-vaginal devices are preferred for maintaining the replaced tissue |
|
|
Who gets pseudopregnancy and what causes it? How do you treat it?
|
Dogs (especially afgans)
Having a CL - or just after ovariectomy Cabergoline (ergot alkyloid) can treat it (dopamine agonist - vomiting) NOTE never give exogenous progestegens |
|
|
Pyometra - things to remember about it?
|
common in bitches
can treat with algepristone (proest site inhib) can be caused by estogen - stim growth of endometrium older>younger bitches postestrous not postpartum |
|
|
First stage parturition is associated with:
|
drop in body temp
milk in mammary glands agitation vomiting low progesterone (not associated with hi Ca++ in blood - has gone to milk!) |
|
|
t/f Goats are small cows
|
f - although they do have a 21 day estrus cycle and 60 chromosomes.
goats are even more seasonal that ewes! |
|
|
Things to remember about pseudopreg in goats
|
failure to see estrus
hydrometra treat with prostaglandin (which can also abort pregnancy throughout gestation) usually need to treat more than once infertile immediately after "cloudburst" |
|
|
you see a comatose kid - what do you do?
|
admin IV or IP glucose
or via stomach tube |
