A person calls to to say she adopted a friend's dog and requests a
copy of the dog's medical record and radiographs. The former owner
is a client at your clinic. Which one of the following choices is the most
appropriate action to take?
A - Require original owner consent or court order to release
information
B - Give caller a copy of medical record only
C - Give caller a copy of medical record and radiographs
D - After physical exam, start a new medical record documenting
previous issues
E - Give a summarized record with personal identifiers (vet, owner
names) blocked out -ANSWER-A
According to the AVMA's Principles of Veterinary Medical Ethics (2008
revision)
"Ethically, the information within veterinary medical records is
considered privileged and confidential. It must not be released except
by court order or consent of the owner of the patient. Veterinarians
should secure a written release to document that request."
A 5 year old domestic short-haired spayed female cat is presented
with the complaints of anorexia, chronic vomiting, and weight loss.
,Physical examination reveals icterus, dehydration, and fever.
Thickened small intestinal loops are appreciated with abdominal
palpation, and serum biochemistry shows increased bilirubin and liver
enzymes.
The cat is diagnosed with extrahepatic biliary obstruction with
accompanying cholangitis and inflammatory bowel disease. Which
one of the following normal anatomic features may predispose cats to
this triad of diseases?
A - Narrowing of the duodenum distal to the entry of the common bile
and pancreatic ducts
B - Common opening of the pancreatic and common bile ducts into
duodenum
C - Enlarged duodenal papilla in comparison to other species
D - Decreased proportion of alpha-smooth muscle actin in muscle
fibers of the wall of the gall bladder in cats
E - Decreased diameter and increa -ANSWER-B
In cats, there is a common opening of the pancreatic and common bile
ducts into the duodenum. It is thought that this may predispose them
to ascending cholangitis and pancreatitis after vomiting associated
with inflammatory bowel disease, resulting in extrahepatic biliary
obstruction.
Other possible etiologies of EHBO include neoplasia, biliary stricture,
duodenal obstruction, diaphragmatic hernia, and parasitic infection.
In all cases, there is a lack of bile entry into the intestinal tract, leading
to decreased absorption of fat and fat soluble vitamins such as vitamin
K, potentially resulting in coagulopathies.
,Except in transient cases that are related to acute pancreatitis,
surgical intervention to relieve the obstruction is required as well as
appropriate supportive care, antimicrobial treatment, and vitamin K
administration.
Most of a litter of European wild boar at a zoological park have died.
The surviving piglets are in lateral recumbency with a frothy nasal
discharge. Necropsy of the piglets reveals pulmonary edema and
copious fluid in the trachea and bronchi along with grayish- white
necrotic foci on the myocardium. Which one of the following diseases
is the most likely diagnosis?
A - Edema disease
B - Encephalomyocarditis
C - Glasser's Disease
D - Porcine Respiratory and Reproductive Syndrome
E - Pseudorabies -ANSWER-B
Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) is caused by a cardiovirus in the
family picornaviridae. Confusingly, the virus is named for its effects on
mice.
Think of rodents and exotic zoo mammals with EMCV. Pig-to-pig
contact, contamination of swine feed and water by rodents or
ingestion of dead rodents may cause disease. See pulmonary edema
and copious transudate in the respiratory tract, causing cardiac failure.
Zoo outbreaks of EMCV have included lions, African elephants,
rhinos, hippos, sloths, llamas, antelope and nonhuman primates. An
outbreak of lion deaths at a Florida zoo in the USA occurred after
feeding them the carcass of an African elephant that had died of
EMCV.
, Edema disease is a neurologic disease caused by a hemolytic
Escherichia coli producing Shiga toxin e2 and F18 pili resulting in high
mortality in recently-weaned pigs.
Glasser's Disease, caused by Hemophilus parasuis is usually an
acute disease of 6 to 8 week-old pigs which causes fibrinous arthritis,
polyserositis, and meningitis.
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), is an
arterivirus causing reproductive failure and post-weaning respiratory
disease.
What is the main mode of transmission for feline leukemia virus?
A - Aerosol transmission
B - Shedding of virus via feces
C - Fomite transmission
D - Shedding of virus via saliva -ANSWER-D
The correct answer is shedding of virus via saliva. The main mode of
transmission is via saliva. It requires prolonged, close contact. Cats
may shed the virus for months to years. Transmission may also occur
through reuse of instruments and blood. Virus is shed in saliva, tears,
urine, and feces.
You are working with a farmer who is having trouble with calves
between the age of 2 weeks and 6 months. They are alert, but weak,
dyspneic and die suddenly. On necropsy they have pale cardiac and
skeletal muscles. What is the farmer's problem?
A - Copper deficiency
B - Sorghum toxicity
