Front 23

Why must organic material such as dirt, dust, grease, feces, urine, blood and vomit be physically removed from surfaces prior to disinfection for efficient results?

Back 23

It inactivates most disinfectants.

Front 24

What species are allergic to phenols?

Back 24

cats

Front 25

Define passive immunity

Back 25

Passive immunity is acquired through transfer of antibody or activated T-cells from an immune host, and is short lived, usually lasts only a few months.

Front 26

Define active immunity

Back 26

active immunity is induced in the host itself by antigen, and lasts much longer, sometimes life-long.

Front 27

Define herd immunity

Back 27

This phenomenon occurs when a sufficiently large portion of a population (herd) has been immunized and this is immune to a particular virus. An individual lacking the immunity is protected as the remainder of the herd is incapable of transmitting the virus.

Front 28

Define closed herds

Back 28

practice of allowing only animals without evidence of previous exposure to comingle

Front 29

Define adjuvant

Back 29

Substances or chemical formulations used to enhance the immune response to inactivated vaccines.

Front 30

Define colostrum

Back 30

first milk from the mother that contains antibodies that confer protection on the newborns the first few weeks of life.

Front 31

Define immunoglobulin

Back 31

The immunoglobulins present
in immune sera contain neutralizing antibodies that prevent the attachment of the specific virus to susceptible cells.

Front 32

List some of the conditions that may predispose animals to infections.

Back 32

Age, compromised immune system, nutrition

Front 33

List ways of controlling viral infections and disease.

Back 33

Vaccines, proper sanitation of the environment, isolation for those with disease, proper handwashing.

Front 34

List the 2 most common types of vaccines used in veterinary medicine. Please list the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Back 34

Killed Virus vaccines – virus has been chemically inactivated. Primes the immune system for quick response. More than 1 dose to achieve immunity and boosters. Do not revert to virulence and are safe for pregnant or immunocompromised animals. Modified Live Virus Vaccines are vaccines where the virus has been made virulent by some means. Generally confer lifelong immunity, A sufficiently attenuated live vaccine should not cause disease in healthy
vaccinated animals; however, it may cause disease in immunocompromised individuals and fetuses. Some modified-live
virus vaccines can be administered by the oral, nasal, or genital (preputial, vaginal) routes where they elicit a local secretory antibody response (IgA).
The main disadvantage to modified-live vaccines is that some may cause mild disease, lethal infections of the fetus, and the
possibility that the attenuated virus may regain its virulence. Live vaccine virus may be transmitted to contact animals.

Front 35

Why should you not mix different vaccine products in the same syringe?

Back 35

Different vaccines contain different preservations that will interfere with another vaccine.

Front 36

How do you know if the vaccine should be given by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection?

Back 36

Specified in the manufacturer’s instructions.

Front 37

Define anaphylactic reaction. List some of the clinical signs that might be seen if an animal has a reaction to a vaccine.

Back 37

Physical signs related to the administration of a vaccine, some of which may be life-threatening. Examples include cadiac and respiratory shock/arrest, vomiting, diarrhea, urticaria, seizures polyarthritis.

Front 38

If an animal has an adverse reaction to vaccination, what should you do after the animal has been treated and stabilized?

Back 38

The reaction and the treatment should be noted in the medical records and the manufacturer notified.

Front 39

Define core and non-core vaccines. List the Canine vaccines in each category

Back 39

Core vaccines are vaccines that are need to prevent prevalent diseases or are very lethal. Examples include rabies, distemper, parvovirus. Non-core vaccines are vaccines that protect against uncommon diseases or those that have less lethality. Examples include Giardia, Lymes, Coronavirus

Front 40

Define core and non-core vaccines. List the Feline vaccines in each category.

Back 40

Core vaccine examples include rabies, feline panleikopenia, feline viral rhinotracheitis, and feline calicivirus. Non-core vaccines include feline chlamydophia, feline infectious priotonitis, and feline Giardia

Front 41

What considerations should be made when selecting vaccines for an animal?

Back 41

Health, exposure, travel to other parts of the country.

Front 42

What are the main functions of the skin?

Back 42

Protective shield, regulates body temperature, stores water, fat and vitamin D; can sense painful and pleasant stimulation.

Front 43

What is lavage and why is it important?

Back 43

To remove debris and loose particles and tissue from the wound and reduce the number of bacteria in the wound. The mechanical action is the most important factor of a successful lavage. Moderate pressure can be generated with a 35-ml syringe, 19-gauge needle and connected to a bag of fluid with a three-way stop cock. Higher pressure can be generated with a water Pik.
