CATTLE: CARDIORESP., CATTLE CARDIOLOGY, ASD well tolerated in cows -…
CATTLE: CARDIORESP.
URT
-
Calf Diphtheria
-
-
Oral Form
Aetiology - poor hygiene
- Bucket fed calves
- Erupting teeth
CS: drooling, halitosis, pyrexia
-
-
Treatment
Systemic ABs
- TMPS, PenStrep, Tetracycline
-
-
Laryngeal Chondritis
-
Stridor and laryngeal oedema
- small focal areas of abscessation
- necrosis deep within arytenoid cartilages
- Strep, E.coli, Trueperella...
-
IBR
-
-
High morbidity, Low mortality
Pathogenesis
Nose-to-Nose transmission
- aerosol and secretions (semen)
- fomites (people)
-
CS:
- Pyrexia
- purulent nasal/ocular discharge
- tracheitis on auscultation (mucosal plaques)
- coughing & dyspnoea
Subclinical dz
- reactivation of virus
- often no CS
- mild pyrexia, milk drop, reduced appetite, mild cough
- approx 70% herds endemically infected
-
-
IBR Control Programme
-
Investigation
Bulk milk ELISA
-
control depends on prevalence o(option 1, 2 or 3)
VACCINE
Marker Vaccine
differentiates between vaccinated and infected animals
- different serology results
- IgB(+) IgE(-) = vac
- both = infection
AI stations will NOT take any AB+ bulls (vaccine induced or not)
- NEVER vaccinate an AI bull
- Biosecurity vital when rearing pedigree bulls
-
-
Other
Frontal Sinusitis (dehorning)
- separate from other sinuses
- lavage/trephination
Dosing gun injury (T. pyogenes, Fusobact.)
-
Atopic rhinitis (nasal granuloma)
- fungal, viral, mites - rare in IRE
LRT
-
Bacterial Pneumonia
-
Histophilus somni
-
-
-
Vascular endothelial damage
- myocarditis/sudden death
- thromboembolic meningoencephalitis (TEME)
-
Mycoplasma bovis
-
-
-
Dx - nasal swab cultures, BAL, PM
-
M. dispar
-
-
ill thrift, low mortality
Dictyocaulus viviparous
-
2 types of presentations
Naïve/patent infection
- severe resp dz & coughing
-
LC
L1 coughed up, swallowed and excreted
-
-
-
Diagnosis
-
BAL (adults)
- eosinophilia good indicator
-
Treatment
-
Dry stock - Levamisole, Fenbendazole, Ivermectins
-
-
Control
Protect grazing cattle with
-
-
-
Vaccine - Huskvac
-
-
Dose replacements @ housing and @ 4wks post turnout
- dose before turned out with dairy cows
Allergy/Toxin
Fog fever (herd issue)
-
Low morbidity , moderate mortality
-
-
- ACUTE dyspnoea,
- :red_cross: fever or cough,
- crackles,
- subcutaneous emphysema,
- short course
- DDx: Lungworm / BRSV
-
Prevention
Grazing management
- gradual introduction, strip grazing
-
-
-
Intro
Causes
-
-
-
Systemic disease (acidosis, septicaemia, pain)
Clinical Exam
Pores of Kohn :arrow_right: alveoli don't communicate as well in cattle
- predisposed to resp disease
-
Crackles/bubbles :arrow_right: FLUID
- or emphysema (ruptured alveoli)
-
CATTLE CARDIOLOGY
-
Jugular Pulse
-
-
Check: occlude jugular, milk back towards heart, true JP will fill again
Endocarditis
Primary septic focus (pneumonia/arthritis etc)
- embolic spread of bacteria
-
murmur may be undetectable, gallop rhythm, cardiac thrill, jugular pulsation, CHF, shifting lameness
-
Endocarditis (murmur)
Pericarditis (muffled/tinkling)
Cardiomyopathy (rare)
Space occupying lesions
Cor pulmonale (secondary)
-
Looking at :<3:
- Jugular vein
- tachycardia
- muffled? - pericarditis or milk fever (hypoCa)
- murmur? - endocarditis
- louder sound, thumping pulse
-
