Top 20 Canine Conditions Part 4 _ Zuku Review

History of dietary indiscretion or high-fat diet.

Histopathology is required to grade tumors using the Patnaik grading system.

Infectious tracheobronchitis.

It will resolve in 7-10 days; cough suppressants may be used for persistent dry cough.

Chronic, progressive lameness or acute if pathological fracture occurs; cough if pulmonary metastases are present.

SNAP canine pancreatic lipase (cPL) test.

Antibiotics for cystitis and struvite calculi, surgical removal, or medical dissolution with a special diet.

Rapidly through kennels.

Treat underlying condition and/or aspiration pneumonia; upright feeding using gruel or meatballs.

Combination protocols are considered best for treating lymphoma.

Intact or late spayed females.

FNA is used to evaluate for metastasis and to confirm diagnosis through cytology.

No, they are no longer considered a cause and are not contraindicated.

Exposure to or housed with a large number of other animals.

Gastric acid reducers like proton pump inhibitors or H2 receptor blockers.

Newfoundlands, dachshunds, Labradors, Basset hounds, and Yorkies due to a genetic defect causing cystinuria.

Generalized lymphadenopathy, anorexia, vomiting, and weight loss.

Enteral nutritional support with an ultra-low-fat diet.

It should receive emergency treatment.

Regurgitation, coughing, drooling, weight loss, and weakness.

Acute and chronic pancreatitis.

It is commonly associated with large or giant breeds and bimodal age incidence (1.5-2 years and then 7-9 years).

Miniature schnauzers.

Severity of the condition and presence of systemic complications.

Most treatment is palliative for pain management.

They can be cutaneous or subcutaneous masses that may shrink and swell intermittently.

They can cause temporary megaesophagus.

With a special diet (Science Diet) or Royal Canin Urinary SO.

Acute-onset non-productive cough that may end in a retch.

Surgery depends on size and location, with options including lumpectomy, regional/simple mastectomy, and radical mastectomy.

Prednisone before chemotherapy will decrease response to chemotherapy.

Vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, abdominal pain, weakness, and dehydration.

Ultrasonography or contrast cystography.

With a restricted protein and low methionine diet for one month, followed by a low purine renal diet.

Vaccination for CPIV, CAV-2, CDV, and Bordetella bronchiseptica.

Miniature Schnauzers, Lhasa Apsos, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, and Pomeranians.

Radiography showing bony lysis and periosteal bone formation, thoracic radiographs for metastatic disease, and fine needle aspirate or biopsy.

Aggressive fluid therapy with appropriate additives and pain medications.

A low protein, alkaline urine promoting diet.

Based on culture and sensitivity, may include oral or IV antibiotics.

Pollakiuria, stranguria, hematuria, dysuria, and malodorous urine.

Abdominal ultrasonography.

Surgery and treatment of underlying causes of hypercalcemia if present.

History and clinical signs strongly suggestive, bacterial culture, or PCR of Bordetella bronchiseptica.

Survival is typically 4-12 months, with elevated ALP associated with poorer prognosis.

Crystallography, X-ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy.

Genetic testing is available for Newfoundlands and Labrador Retrievers.

Regurgitation contains undigested food or water.

Urinalysis, urine culture and sensitivity, and radiographs to detect radiopaque calculi.

Cardiomyopathy.

Thoracic radiographs may show air-filled, dilated esophagus and signs of secondary aspiration pneumonia.

Tumor grade determines prognosis; higher grades typically indicate poorer outcomes.

50% benign and 50% malignant.

Often secondary to bacterial cystitis caused by urease-producing Staphylococcus or Proteus.
