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 |
