Term
What is ARDS?
Definition
-acute respiratory distress syndrome
Term
What are some conditions that present as ARDS in rums?
Definition
-Feedlot Acute Interstitial Pneumonia (AIP)
-acute Bovine Pulmonary Edema & Emphysema (ABPEE)
-perilla ketone toxicity
-moldy sweet potato toxicity
-toxic gases
-allergic dz
-anaphylaxis
Term
What are the clinical findings commonly seen with ARDS?
Definition
-acute onset, maybe acute death
-expiratory dyspnea
-tachypnea
-open-mouthed breathing w/ neck extended
-frothing: b/c they don't swallow
-variable rectal temp
Term
What are the necropsy findings commonly found w/ ARDS?
Definition
-congestion
-interlobular edema
-patchy appearance to lungs
-bullae
-lungs are rubbery, heavy, and fail to collapse (may see rib imprints)
Term
What are the distinguishing features of feedlot AIP causing ARDS?
Definition
-occurs in cattle > 60 days on feed
-heifers >>>> steers
-occurs more in summer
-sporadic or outbreaks
-auscultation: dull airway sounds w/ crackles
Term
What are some of the proposedetiologies behind feedlot AIP?
Definition
-feed related pneumotoxins (3-MI)
-chronic bacterial penumonia
-BRSV
-hormonal influences (gneder)
-chronic small airway injury
-dust and heat
-hypersensitivity rxns
Term
How do we treat feedlot AIP?
Definition
-none ID'd as effectice: anti-inflammatories, Furosemide, antimicrobial therapy, oxygen supplementation
-high case fatality rate
-handling can cause death
Term
What are the common clinical signs of ARDS caused by plant toxicities?
Definition
-very similar to feedlot AIP
-distressed
-soft airway sounds w/ crackles: ABPEE, Perilla
-crackles & harsh bronchial sounds: Sweet Potatoes
-minimal coughing: ABPEE, Perilla
-frequent deep coughing: Sweet Potatoes
-handle may cause death
Term
How do we treat ARDS due to plant toxicities?
Definition
-remove from the source
-slaughter severe cases if possbile
-no treatment may e best
Term
How do prevent acute bovine pulmonary edema and emphysema?
Definition
-introduce lush pastere gradually
-feed ionosphere
Term
Which gases are known to cause ARDS?
Definition
-Nitrogen dioxide
-Zinc oxide
-Chlorine
Term
Which cattle are most commonly affected by ARDS due to toxic gases?
Definition
-housed cattle
Term
What is the shock organ in ruminants?
Definition
-lung
Term
What are the clinical findings seen w/ ovine progressive pneumonia?
Definition
-wasting "thin ewe sydnrome"
-progressive pneumnia
-indurative amstitis
-posterior paresis
-nonsuppurative artritis
Term
What are the clinical findings w/ caprine arthritis encephalitis?
Definition
-leukoencephalomyelitis
-chronic yperplastic synovitis
-indurative mastitis
-interstitial pneumonia
Term
What are the necropsy findings for progressive pneumonia in small ruminants?
Definition
-heavy wet lungs that fail to collaps +/- rib impressions
-marked thoracic lymphadenopathy
-mottled to uniform pink-brown to blue-gray discoloration
Term
How do we treat progressive pneumonias of small ruminants?
Definition
-none
Term
How do we work to prevent progressive pneumonias of small ruminants?
Definition
-biosecurity
-test & cull
-pasteurize colostrum
Term
What is the etiolgy behind progressive pneumonias of sheep and goats?
Definition
-Corynebacterium pseudotuberuclosis
Term
How does caseous lymphadenitis cause progressive pneumonia in small ruminants?
Definition
-when mediastinal LN is involved
Term
Which small ruminants are most commonly affected by progressive pneumonias of sheep and goats?
Definition
-internal abscesses in sheep >> goats
-chronic wasting syndrome
