exam reveals severe lower back pain.
The dog is ambulatory but too fractious to examine reflexes or conscious

In September, two Quarter horse mares are presented that are pastured in a group of
five in Oklahoma.
The horses eat pasture grass supplemented by alfalfa hay and a small amount of grain.
, One mare was found peracutely dead this morning. The other is depressed, anorexic
and colicy.
Physical exam reveals dark, congested mucous membranes with small ulcer-like
erosions.
The mare makes frequent attempts to urinate, yielding red urine (hematuria) with a urine
specific gravity (USG) of 1.006.
She makes repeated attempts to drink small amounts of water and keeps her muzzle
submerged in the water trough.
Necropsy of the other mare shows that the stomach and bladder linings are irritated and
hemorrhagic.
What is the diagnosis?
Value Normal
102.7 F (39.3 C) 99.0100.6, 37.238.1 C
HR=40 bpm 28-40 bpm
BR=20 brpm 10-14 brpm
A - Clostridium perfringens type A
B - Cantharidin toxicity
C - Sorghum cystitis
D - Enzootic hematuri -
\Cantharidin toxicity
During a routine immunization visit for a two-year-old neutered male Newfoundland dog,
a systolic ejection-type (crescendo-decrescendo) murmur is detected.
It is audible loudest on the left side of the chest between the 2nd and 5th intercostal (IC)
space and at the thoracic inlet lateral to the trachea.
Which condition is highest on a differential diagnosis list?
A - Pulmonic stenosis
B - Mitral dysplasia
C - Tricuspid dysplasia
D - Aortic stenosis
E - Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) -
\Aortic stenosis
A seven-year old female spayed Border Collie is presented with two very goopy, gunk-
covered eyes.
A Schirmer tear test reveals less than 10 mm/minute of wetting [N= 15mm or more/
minute].
