-bone marrow is responding appropriately -extra-marrow causes

-bone marrow is not responding appropriately -caused by chronic renal disease, inflammatory disease

-pale gums -exercise intolerance -tachycardia -possible jaundice -anorexia -heart murmur

What are some things that can be evaluated to aid in the diagnosis of anemia?

kidney doesn't produce erythropoietin to stimulate a bone marrow response

Who are most suspectible to Heinz body anemia?

Why are cats more prone to Heinz body anemias?

What is the most common cause for spontaneuous bleeding in dogs?

-decreased production -increased consumption -increased destruction -increased sequestration

what does IMHA stand for?

-antibody driven disease -primary and secondary -diagnosed with CBC or Coomb's test

-improve oxygenation -managing immune response

This is when platelets are attacked by the immune system

-petechia and ecchymotic hemorrhages on skin and mucosal surfaces -weakness -lethargy

What is the most common clinical sign for ehrlichiosis?

-not all positive dogs are infected or will progress to the chronic phase -treatment may not eliminate infection -reinfection can still occur -treatment of healthy dogs may result in antimicrobial resistance

What is the best way to diagnose Ehrlichia?

-visual indication that antigens are bound to the blood cell -helps us diagnose Ehrlichiosis and IMHA -agglutination indicates problem with the immune system

-bleeding in patient with normal platelet count -types 1-3 -dobermans most commonly affected -genetic condition that can be passed down -surgical patients may need pre and post-op transfusions, cage monitoring for 24 hours, and rest

low concentration of von Willebrands factors

low concentration of abnormal factor

abscence of von Willebrands factors

Who is most commonly affected by vWD?

-pre-op transfusions -post-op cage rest and 24 hour monitoring -may need at least one post op transfusion

small incision made in mucosa above premolars to check for normal clotting time

What is the normal BMBT for dogs?

What is the normal BMBT for cats?

What is the normal BMBT for type 1 vWD?

What is the normal BMBT for type 2-3 vWD?

What is the goal for Lymphoma patients?

Is lymphoma curable?

What is the best method for diagnosis of lymphoma?

How is the sample collected for cytology to diagnose lymphoma?

-mediastinal -alimentary -multicentric

What is the FeLV status for patients with mediastinal and multicentric lymphomas?

What is the FeLV status for patients with alimentary lymphoma?

What is the most common clinical finding for dogs with lymphoma?

-infection that disrupts immune system function -outdoor, free roaming, intact male cats are most at risk -transmitted through bites and body fluids -acute, subclinical, and clinical phases -should be microchipped after vaccination because vaccinations will cause false positives on tests

How is FIV transmitted?

excessive intravascular coagulation that leads to multisystem organ failure

-heat stroke -GDV -heart failure -IMHA -infectious diseases -pancreatitis -shock -venom -IMTP -heartworms

What is the most notable clinical sign that could clue your patient was in DIC?

Which coagulation test is more sensitive for detecting DIC?

-aggressive treatment for primary disease -maintain tissue perfusion and oxygenation -heparin

-dyspnea -bleeding -hematoma -muffled heart and lung sounds -pale MM -lethargy -depression

What causes rodenticide clinical signs?

-emetics -vitamin K-1 -whole blood or plasma

Which route of the antidote for rodenticide poisoning can result in anaphylaxis?

________________ is a defense against or resistance to, contagious diseases

_______________ _____________ refers to the genetic ability of a particular species to provide defense against certain pathogens

-pain -redness -swelling -heat

true or false: the goals of inflammation are to kill the pathogens, remove the tissue debris, and repair damaged tissues

a substance that interferes with a virus's ability to cause disease by preventing it from replicating within the host

binds to the invading cell, makes small holes in the cell membrane, and causes the cell to rupture

________ will attach to foreign substances and take it to the T-cell

mediate the production of antibodies in response to an antigen

true or false: each antibody produced is specific for up to 3 different antigens

___________ immunity is a result of genetic factors that influence that developing animals before birth

______________ immunity is a resistance that develops after an animal is born

___________ immunity is when antibodies are formed in one animal and transferred to another animal that is not infected. This transfer provides the uninfected animal with protection against the pathogen

True or False: Artificial immunity is usually due to deliberate exposure with vaccinations

T cell lymphocytes are associated with?

What reticulocyte count in the dog indicates a regenerative reponse?

What reticulocyte count in the cat indicates a regenerative response?

True or False: An absolute reticulocyte count greater than 80,000 in the cat and 60,000 in the dog indicates a regenerative response

a ____________ reticulocyte count indicates a regenerative anemia, and a _______ recticulocyte count indicates a non regenerative anemia

An 8 week old puppy is brought in for lethargy and not eating well. He has pale gums, and a large number of hook worms on fecal float. The CBC confirms anemia. Which type of anemia is most likely affecting this puppy?

Of the causes of thrombocytopenia, which one is most common in cats?

Of the causes of thrombocytopenia, which is the most common in the dog?

T/F: In immune mediated thrombocytopenia, platelets are coated with antibodies or complements. This causes destruction of them. This destruction can occur in the spleen, bone marrow, and liver

T/F: All seropositive dogs are treated for Ehrlichia

What is the simple in-house test we can use to help us to detect von Willebrand's disese?

Which type of vWD is administration of desmopressin acetate effective?

t/f: When talking about feline lymphoma, the best method of diagnosis is cytology, and the best way to obtain a sample is either FNA or surgical biopsy
