Fel nd K9 diseases
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR) | highly contagious, URI easily inactivated w/ disinfectants |
| Clinical signs of FVR | purulent ocular nasal discharge, high fever, anorexia |
| FVR is causes by: | Herpes virus |
| FVR transmission | spread by direct contact |
| Tx of FVR | supportive; IV fluids L-lysine, force feeding |
| Chronic Herpetic Keratitis | can become dormant flares up as keraitis cats become carriers |
| Tx for Herpes keratitis | Idoxuridine Abio only for 2^ infection |
| Prevention of FVR | vaccination-should be given at 8wks |
| Feline Calicivirus | caliciviridae |
| What are the most common viral URI in kittens? | Herpes virus (FVR) and Calici |
| Symptoms of Calicivirus | oculonasal discharge, oral ulcerations, stomatitis |
| Transmission of Calici | resistant to disinfectants, active in environment for days, direct contact w/ infected discharge |
| Tx of Calici | sympotmatic and supportive IV fluids, soft foods, Aloe gel |
| Feline Infectious Peritonitis "FIP" | most cats exposed by 8wks feline coronavirus |
| Clinical sign of FIP | most cats have mild dz fever unknown origin? |
| FIP 2 forms | Dry FIP/wet (effusive)FIP |
| Clinical signs of dry FIP | fever, weightloss, granulomatous peritonitis |
| Clinical signs of wet FIP | fever, weight loss, enlarging abd |
| Dx of FIP | Paracentesis yeilds a bright yellow fluid PCR |
| Tx of FIP | none effective after clinical signs shown, prognosis is grave |
| Feline Panleukopenia | "felin distemper" paravovirus seen in young and unvaccinated cats |
| Transmission of Feline Panleukopenia | direct contact w/ infected feces |
| Clinical signs of Feline Panleukopenia | high fever, depression, fetid watery diarrhea |
| Dx of Feline Panleukopenia | LOW WBC!, positive CITE test, anitbody titers |
| Tx of Felina Panleukopenia | aggressive IV fluid replacement, antibiotics b/c these cats are immune suppressed |
| Prognosis for Felina Panleukopenia | poor those who survive immune for life |
| Prevention of Feline Panleukopenia | vaccination best preventative keep cats indoors |
| What happens to kittens born from Feline Panleukopenia positive queens? | Cerebellar hypoplasia |
| Feline Leukemia Virus | retrovirus most oftern in cats less than one yr called great imposter |
| Transmission of Feline Leukemia Virus | saliva and nasal secretions most common, milk (transmammary) |
| Feline Leukemia Virus may cause? | hypopyon and uveitis |
| Dx of FeLV infection | ELISA and "Snap" test detect 1^ and 2^ infections |
| Tx of FeLV | immune modulators antineoplastics |
| Prognosis of FeLV | poor 40% of positive cats will revert to seronegative, 20% asymptomatic and carriers, 80% die w/in 2yrs |
| Prevention of FeLV | vaccince for at risk cats keep indoors |
| Toxoplasmosis | caused by coccidian parasite-Toxoplasma gondii smaller |
| Life Cycle of Toxoplasma gondii | rodents intermediate host, causes mild symptoms in cats zoonotic |
| Tranmission of T.gondii | ingestion of intermediate host migrates to cats intestine |
| Clinical signs of T.gondii Prenatal | stillborn, pneumonia, necrotizing, hepatitis |
| Clinical signs of T.gonii Post Natal | usually immune incompetent cats pneumonia hepatitis |
| Canine(Feline) Rabies | "mad dog" disease, fetal neurologic dz of mammals, most important zoonosis, Rhabdovirus |
| Who is the common carrier of rabies? | bat other; raccon, fox, coyote and skunk |
| Trasmission of rabies | saliva into a bite wound, aerosol transmission from guano |
| Incubation period of rabies | wks-mnths depends on location |
| Dx of rabies | negri body in neurons |
| Clinical signs of rabies | behavioral, changes, hypersalivation, ataxia |
| Stages of rabies | Prodromal-2-3days, Furious-1-7days, Paralytic-2-4days |
| Canine Distemper | named b/c of neurological signs, paramyxovirus, racoons nd wild caninds are wildlife reservoir |
| What does Canine Distemper begin as ? | URI |
| What do some dogs develop due to Canine Distemper? | hyperkeratosis/enamel hypoplasia |
| Clinical signs of Canine Distemper | mucopurulent/purulent ocularnasal discharge, pneumonia, hyperkeratosis of nose,pads |
| Dx of Canine Distemper | signalment, clinical signs, fluorescent antibody test on conjunctival scrapping |
| Tx of Canine Distemper | supportive care- IV fluids, Parenteral nutrition, anticonvulsives |
| Prevention of Canine Distemper | vaccination beginning at 8wks and every 4wks until 16wks |
| Prognosis of Canine Distemper | poor to grave |
| Canine Parvovirus | highly contagious, Dobe and Rott puppies particularly susceptible |
| Clinical signs of Canine Parvovirus | high fever, lethargy, fetid hemorrhegic diarrhea |
| Dx of Canine Parvovirus | fecal to r/o parasites, CBC, clinical signs |
| Tx of Canine Parvovirus | aggressive fluid therapy, parenteral nutrition, antiemetics |
| Prognosis of Canine Parvovirus | guarded to grave depending on severity |
| What concurrent infections occur w/ parvovirus? | parasitism, coronavirus |
| Prevention of Canine Parvovirus | vaccination beginning at 8wks, Dobe and Rott puppies should booster at 22wks |
