ZUKU Review Questions
This plant, yellow star thistle, is a substantial source of forage for a herd of goats.
What would be the most likely problem seen in the goats?
A - Hepatic fibrosis and megalocytosis
B - Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis
C - Diffuse fibrosing alveolitis
D - Nigropallidal encephalomalacia
E - No illness - ✔️✔️No lesions would be seen. Ruminants are not affected by
ingestion of centaurea spp. and can be used to control spread. chronic ingestion of this
in horses causes nigropallidal enchephalomalacia (chewing disease)
A poultry operation has been having problems with sick birds and many have died over
the past few months.
A few showed torticollis before death. Some of the currently ill fowl have swollen joints,
wattles, and footpads.
One of the broilers with swollen wattles is sacrificed. There is caseous, suppurative
material inside the wattle and necrotic lung lesions.
Which one of the following agents is likely involved?
A - Pasteurella multocida
B - Fowlpox
C - Marek's disease virus
D - Paramyxovirus
E - Salmonella gallinarum - ✔️✔️Pasteurella Multocida (agent of fowl cholera); older
more vulnerable; this is chronic fowl cholera, acute usually no clinical signs
marek's disease lesions: enlarged sciatic nerves and lymphoid tumors
Which canine parasite can cause cutaneous larva migrans in people?
A - Habronema spp.
B - Spirocerca sp.
C - Ancylostoma spp.
D - Trichostrongylus spp.
E - Trichuris spp. - ✔️✔️C. Hookworms (ancylostoma); note that roundworms like
toxocara, tocascaris, and baylisascaris are zoonotic and can also cause visceral and
ocular larva migrans in people
A litter of one-day-old kittens presents with anemia, icterus, and tail tip necrosis.
Which one of the following choices is the most likely differential diagnosis?
, A - Neonatal isoerythrolysis
B - Pyruvate kinase deficiency
C - Hemobartonella felis infection
D - Liver disease
E - Neonatal septicemia - ✔️✔️Neonatal isoerythroloysis
NI is a disease of newborns with a blood type different from that of the dam. NI is more
common in kittens with type A or AB born to type B queens, as anti-A antibodies occur
naturally without prior exposure in type B cats. Hemolysis leads to hemoglobinuria,
icterus, and anemia; weakness, gasping, tail tip necrosis, and eventual death within 48
hours.
Which two components make up total protein in a serum sample?
A - Creatinine, Blood urea nitrogen
B - Trypsin, Glucagon
C - Cholesterol, Triglycerides
D - Globulin, Albumin
E - Hemoglobin, Methemoglobin - ✔️✔️Globulin and Albumin
An eight-year-old female Saint Bernard is presented with right pelvic limb lameness and
swelling above the hock.
Which one of the following choices is the most likely form of neoplasia based on
radiographic appearance and incidence of occurrence?
A one-year-old female llama is presented with hyperkeratosis around the nose and
mouth.

A - Dermatophilosis
B - Zinc-responsive dermatosis
C - Wry face
D - Dorsal nasal alopecia
E - Munge - ✔️✔️Munge
idiopathic nasal/perioral hyperkeratotic dermatosis. affected animals may have lesions
ont he bridge of the nose and around the eyes and ears. Average age of onset is 6mo-
2yo. Address secondary bacterial infections (povidine iodine scrubs) amay need topical
glucocorticoid
What does this finding mean in a cat?
A - Cuterebra infestation
B - Nasopharyngeal polyp, cat will be fine after surgical removal
C - Lingual polyp, can remove, but recurrence is common
