In January you examine a group of dairy calves which range in age from 2 to 7
months, with a complaint of hair loss and pruritus. The calves are thin and
IN
mucous membranes are pale. One has developed bronchopneumonia, and is also
febrile and depressed. You do a skin scraping and find the parasite shown in the
Y
image, which your technician identifies as Hematopinus sp. The CBC shows the
L
calves to be severely anemic. What treatment recommendation should you now

make to the dairy owner?
A - Treat all calves for lice
B - Treat all calves with long acting tetracycline
C - Treat all calves with hematinics
D - Vaccinate all calves against Mannheimia hemolytica

A 10-year old female spayed Siamese cat presents for a new lump the owner
I
found a month ago. She was spayed last year before she was adopted from the
H
shelter. The owner states that the lump has grown over the last month, and it
G
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?

I
Acute, painful exophthalmos is usually due to retrobulbar abscessation. These
Y
lesions are usually painful and may be swollen. These animals are frequently
L
systemically ill with fever and leukocytosis. Causes of retrobulbar abscesses
F
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.
