A 6-year old intact male domestic short haired cat presents with acute onset exophthalmos of
the right eye in the past 2 days. He is painful on palpation around his eye and head. The eye
can be retropulsed with minimal resistance. He has not been eating in the past day and has a
rectal temperature of 103.4F (39.7 C). What is the most likely diagnosis?
A - Orbital neoplasia
B - Retrobulbar abscess
C - Anterior uveitis
D - Glaucoma - ✔✔B
,The answer is a retrobulbar abscess. Acute, painful exophthalmos is usually due to retrobulbar
abscessation. These lesions are usually painful and may be swollen. These animals are
frequently systemically ill with fever and leukocytosis. Causes of retrobulbar abscesses include
penetrating wounds, foreign bodies, spread from dental or sinus infection, and hematogenous
spread. Glaucoma does not cause exophthalmos, although, chronically it can cause
buphthalmos which may appear similar. Anterior uveitis also does not cause exophthalmos.
You are an associate veterinarian paid a base salary of $55,000 annually, plus a 8 % bonus
based on receipts above your monthly production goal of $23,000. Bonuses are paid
quarterly. Your last three month's production were:
$23,000, $28,000, and $27,000.
How much is your quarterly bonus?
A - $670
B - $840
C - $720
D - $810
E - $900 - ✔✔C $720
If $23,000 is the monthly production goal, then the month you brought in $23,000 does not
count towards a bonus.
,In the second month, $ 28,000 = $5000 above goal
In the third month $ 27,000 = $4000 above goal
Total above production goal = $5000+$4000= $9000
$9000 X (0.08 bonus rate) = $720.
Many practices use a combination system with a base salary and a production-based bonus if you
bring in more than a monthly production goal, but no penalty if you are below that monthly goal,
which is good if you are a new graduate, and helps in low traffic months at the clinic.
A 10-year old female spayed Siamese cat presents for a new lump the owner found a month
ago. She was spayed last year before she was adopted from the shelter. The owner states that
the lump has grown over the last month, and it doesn't seem to bother the cat. On exam, the 2
cm lump is located on the left 2nd mammary gland, and no other lumps are noted. The lump is
freely moveable, and chest radiographs are clear. What is the chance that this tumor is
malignant?
A-5%
B-50%
C-20%
, D-85%-✔✔D
70-90% of all feline mammary tumors are malignant. Spaying a cat before 6 months of
age reduces the risk for mammary tumors by 7 fold.
The statistics for dogs is a 50:50 chance of malignancy for a single mammary mass.
This 25 year old Quarter Horse mare is presented for evaluation in July in the northern
hemisphere. She is diagnosed with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction. Which one of the
following medications would be most likely to be beneficial to this mare?
A - Isoxsuprine
B - Glucocorticoids
C - Pentoxifylline
D - Pergolide
E - Methimazole - ✔✔D
Pergolide is the treatment of choice for pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID). PPID
is characterized by degeneration of dopamine producing neurons in the hypothalamus that
normally exert an inhibitory action on the pituitary pars intermedia, resulting in functional
adenomas in the pars intermedia that produce high levels of adrenocorticotropin hormone.
