with very high doses of thyroid hormone.
A thyroid storm occurs when there is the extreme elevation of thyroid hormone. Thyroid storm is life-threatening; if left

with a gram stain culture; however, a broad spectrum antibiotic that targets Pasteurella, as well as other
gram-positive and gram neg bacteria, is preferred for prescribed prophylaxis. Amox-Clav is a recommended antibiotic for
prophylactic tx. Aminoglycosides such as gentamycin have demonstrated poor activity against P. multocida. Tetanus toxoids
is necessary only if the patient has received their last tetanus vaccine greater than 5 years prior. Rabies is unnecessary

cardinal symptoms of COPD are dyspnea, chronic cough, and sputum production. The lungs are hyperinflated which
changes the shape of the chest and diaphragm, making the mechanics of breathing more diflcult Excess mucus and
obstructed airflow from progressive thickening and stittening of the airways finish breath sound. COPD creates a high
hematocrit percentage because of chronic hypoxemia.
