2. On examination of the cranial nerves in a 3-year old right oculomotor (III)
female cat, the right pupil appears to be larger than nerve
the left pupil. The right pupil shows no response when
light is shone into either eye. The left pupil constricts
when light is shone into either eye. Mild ventrolateral
strabismus is noted in the right eye only. These find-
ings are most consistent with a lesion at which of the
following locations?

right occipita cortex
right optic (II) nerve
right oculomotor (III) nerve

days in milk has been in anestrus since calving. On pal- hormone followed by
pation of the rectum, a cystic structure that is 3cm in prostaglandin in 15 days
diameter is identified on the left ovary. Administration

days
Prostaglandin followed by melengestrol acetate in 19
days
4. A 10-year-old commercial beef cow has had a gradually Salvage to slaughter
diminished appetite and progressive weight loss over
the past two months. Feces are dry and scanty. She
continues to drink water. Physical examination shows
distention of the left paralumbar fossa and ventral
right abdominal wall. On rectal palpation, the rumen is
full of firm ingesta and the ventral sac extends to the
right of midline (L-shaped). Which of the following is
the most appropriate next step?
Administration of bisthmuth subsalicylate with su-
crose
Administraiton of magnesium hydroxide
Exploratory laparotomy
Salvage to slaughter
Surgical creation of a rumen fistual

peremia of nasal mucosa. Which of the following is the
most likely diagnosis?

6. A group of 1000 5-week-old pigs has experienced a Haemophilus parasuis
2% death loss since weaning two weeks ago. most of
the deaths were sudden; however, approximately 3%
of the pigs showed clinical signs of lethargy, lameness,
and labored breathing before dying. Postmortem ex-
amination of an affected pig shows severe fibrinous
pleuritis, pericarditis, and peritonitis. Which of the fol-
lowing is the most likely causal organism?
Arcanobacterium suis
Escheria coli
Haemophilus parasuis
Salmonella cholerasuis
Streptococcus suis

because of an itchy rash around the lips and eyelids. nisone

swellign of the muzzle, pruritic, exudative pustiles
around the lips and eyelids, and swelling of the sub-
mandibular lymph nodes bilaterally. Which of the fol-
lowing is the most appropriate treatment?

8. A 5-year old Simmental cow who is used as a donor for Administration of procaine
embryo transfer is evaluated because of the acute on- penicillin G intramuscular-
set of anorexia and lethargy. She has been flushed six ly
times; the most recent flushing occured 10 days ago.
Rectal temperature is 104*F . During PE, the cow is re-
luctant to move and periodically kicks at her abdomen.
On rectal palpation, the left kidney is grossly enlarged
and has a smooth texture. When stimulated to urinate,
the urine is grossly hematuric; numerous blood clots
and fibrin are present. Which of the following is the
most appropriate treatment?
Administration of gentamicin intravenously
Administration of procaine penicillin G intramuscular-
ly
Long-term catheterization of the bladder
Surgical removal of the enlarged kidney
No treatment is indicated
