| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| When determining whether an anemia regenerative or non-regenerative, one must look at the: | Absolute reticulocyte count |
| What is the tick vector responsible for the spread of canine ehrlichiosis? | Rhipicephalus sanguineus |
| A buccal mucosal bleeding time longer than four minutes in a healthy, young Doberman might indicate the presence of: | von Willebrand disease |
| True or False: Few cats with feline lymphoma will test positive for FeLV. | False |
| List three drugs that are useful in the treatment of canine lymphosarcoma. | Vincristine, 1-Asparginase, Prednisone |
| According to the new protocols for vaccination, all cats should be vaccinated for FIV. | False |
| When dosing toxic drugs, ___, instead of weight, should be used to determine the dose. | Body surface area |
| Haemobartonella felis is now called ___? | Mycoplasma hemofelis |
| Animals demonstrating intravascular hemolytic disease will have ___ plasma. | red |
| Define dyscrasias: | an abnormal or disordered state of the body or of a bodily part. |
| A condition marked by a deficiency of red blood cells or of hemoglobin in the blood, resulting in pallor and weariness. | Anemia |
| Antibody | A blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen. Antibodies combine chemically with substances which the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood. |
| A toxin or other foreign substance which induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies. are molecules capable of stimulating an immune response. Each one has distinct surface features. | Antigen |
| Endemic | (of a disease or condition) regularly found among particular people or in a certain area. |
| The presence of methemoglobin in the blood, which is a stable oxidized form of hemoglobin which is unable to release oxygen to the tissues, produced in some inherited abnormalities and by oxidizing drugs. | What is Methemoglobinemia? |
| What are Spherocytes? | They are red blood cells which are smaller and denser than their normal counterparts. Their increased density stems from the loss of the red blood cell's characteristic biconcave shape. |
| A condition in which you have a low blood platelet count. Platelets are colorless blood cells that help blood clot. They stop bleeding by clumping and forming plugs in blood vessel injuries. | What is Thrombocytopenia? |
| Blood is the only liquid ___ tissue in the body. | connective |
| The functions of blood include temperature ___, pH ___, nutritional ___, waste ___, hormone ___, and immune ___. | regulation, balance, transport, disposal, transport, responses |
| Hemoglobin is a: | oxygen carrying pigment |
| Regenerative anemia often involve: | hemorrhage or hemolysis |
| Non-regenerative anemia often involves: | bone marrow |
| What is epistaxis? | nose bleed |
| What does refractory mean in the statement refractory cases? | Does not respond to treatment |
| The rickettsial disease ___ is spread by the tick vector Rhipicephalus sanguineus (brown dog tick). | Ehrlichiosis |
| What is the main disadvantage of vaccinating young cats for FIV? | Vaccinated cats test positive for the disease |
| What type of support bandage provides good protection for a long bone fracture while radiographs are being taken? | Robert Jones Bandage |
| Sudden hyperextension of the stifle joint in middle-aged, obese dogs can result in rupture of the: | Anterior cruciate ligament |
| For OFA certification, dogs should be radiographed after reaching: | 2 year old |
| True or False: Hip Dysplasia is not a progressive, degenerative joint disease. | False |
| OCD lesions are most commonly seen in large-breed dogs in the: | Scapulohumeral joint (shoulder) |
| What is the most frequently seen primary bone tumor in pet animals? | Osteosarcoma |
| True or False: Most patellar luxations seen early in life are medial luxations. | True |
| True or False: There is a relationship between excessive growth and the development of hip dysplasia. | True |
| True or false: Casts or splints may not prevent rotation or over-riding of fractured long bones and may result in delayed healing. | True |
| True or False: hip dysplasia can develop in puppies born to female dogs without hip dysplasia. | True |
| Mary has a large breed dog and has been told by the breeder to give him supplements of calcium-rich vitamins for fast growth. Is this a good idea? | No. Fast growth may predispose the dog to hip dysplasia. |
| What advise would you give a client to avoid musculoskeletal injuries in his or her pet? | To avoid musculoskeletal injuries, limit the pet's weight and make sure the pet has daily exercise. |
| Arthrodesis | Surgical immobilization of a joint by fusion of the adjacent bones. |
| Arthroplasty | A surgical procedure to restore the function of a joint. A joint can be restored by resurfacing the bones. An artificial joint (called a prosthesis) may also be used. Various types of arthritis may affect the joints. |
| Cancellous | Denoting bone tissue with a mesh-like structure containing many pores, typical of the interior of mature bones. |
| Cholinergic | Relating to or denoting nerve cells in which acetylcholine acts as a neurotransmitter. |
| Congenital | (of a disease or physical abnormality) present from birth. |
| Crepitus | A grating sound or sensation produced by friction between bone and cartilage or the fractured parts of a bone. |
| Endochondral | Situated or occurring within cartilage. |
| Luxation | dislocation |
| Myopathy | A disease of the muscle in which the muscle fibers do not function properly. This results in muscular weakness. |
| Myositis | Inflammation of muscles used to move the body. An injury, infection, or autoimmune disease can cause it. Two specific kinds are polymyositis and dermatomyositis. Polymyositis causes muscle weakness, usually in the muscles closest to the trunk of the body. |
| Neuromuscular junction | A chemical synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber. It allows the motor neuron to transmit a signal to the muscle fiber, causing muscle contraction. Muscles require innervation to function—and even just to maintain muscle tone, avoiding atrophy. |
| Osteotomy | The surgical cutting of a bone or removal of a piece of bone. |
| Panosteitis | |
| Sarcomere | It is the basic contractile unit of muscle fiber. Each one is composed of two main protein filaments—actin and myosin—which are the active structures responsible for muscular contraction. |
| a·ce·tab·u·lar | Relating to a cup-shaped structure, especially the socket of the hip bone (the acetabulum). "patients with acetabular fractures" |
| In regard to intervertebral disk disease, the severity of spinal cord injury depends on: | the speed at which disk material is deposited into the spinal canal, the degree of spinal cord compression, and on the duration of compression. |
| What percentage of intervertebral disks is estimated to be degenerative in a chondrodystrophic breed by one year of age? | 75% |
| In the absence of deep pain after a spinal cord injury for greater than 48 hours, the prognosis is: | poor |
| Cervical spondylomyelopathy (Wobbler syndrome) is seen primarily in: | Dobermans |
| Myelo means: | spinal cord or bone marrow |
| Until proven otherwise, animals with alteration of voice or laryngeal paralysis should be suspected of: | Rabies |
| Name some diseases that include the sign of ascending flaccid paralysis? | Coonhound paralysis, Tick paralysis |
| Name three diseases that cause megaesophagus in dogs. | Metabolic dysfunction, Lead poisoning, Congenital disease |
| Phenobarbital takes ___ days to reach an adequate concentration in the blood. Until this time, animals may continue to exhibit seizure activity. | 7-10 days |
| Name four diagnostic examinations that would be effective in determining a cause of seizures in an older animal? | CBC/Serum chemistries, Ophthalmic examination, CSF evaluation, MRI (Radiography of little use). |
