A 3-year-old Jungle carpet python presented for a 2 week history of
opisthotonus, loss of righting reflex and greatly exaggerated mouth

b. A combined oral and cloacal swab for PCR.
c. Blood for PCR.
d. A combined oral and cloacal swab for culture and sensitivity
testing.
b. A combined oral and cloacal swab for PCR.
A 4 year old guinea pig presented for decreased appetite and weight
loss for a 1 month period. The owner reports previous good health. On

saliva matting the hair on the chin and ventral neck.
Which of the following is LEAST likely to be a cause of this problem?
a. Inappropriate diet.
b. Lack of exposure to sunlight.
c. Vitamin C deficiency.
d. Incisor overgrowth due to insufficient chewing opportunities.
d. Incisor overgrowth due to insufficient chewing opportunities.

sore eye. On clinical examination you cannot find a foreign body or any
entropion or distichia.
Fluorescein staining reveals a central superficial ulcer with loose
epithelial margins that can be debrided easily. You prescribe topical
chloramphenicol eye drops for one week. On re-examination, the ulcer
has the same appearance. You make a diagnosis of superficial chronic
corneal epithelial defects (SCCEDs).
What is the underlying pathogenesis?
a. Inappropriate choice of antibiotic.
b. Corneal friction from the patient rubbing the eye.
c. Poor mitosis and migration of basal (limbal) epithelial cells into the
defect.
d. Poor attachment of epithelial cells to defective basement membrane
and anterior stroma.
d. Poor attachment of epithelial cells to defective basement membrane
and anterior stroma.
