e - ivermectin in early fall
This is a cattle warble called Hypoderma. The 2 species are H. bovis and H. lineatum. They
undergo a long migration in tissues and only emerge from the back of the animal in spring.
The crucial treatment time is early fall when larvae are just beginning to migrate in tissues.
Organophosphates or one of the macrocyclic lactones (ivermectin, doramectin,
eprinomectin or moxidectin) are effective.
D - Neorickettsia helminthoeca
The correct answer is Neorickettsia helminthoeca. This rickettsial organism is the causative
agent of salmon poisoning. It is carried in the fluke, Nanophyetus salmincola, which
requires the snail, Oxytrema silicula in its life cycle. The snail is what confines occurrence of
salmon poisoning to the northwest coast.
E - Toxoplasma gondii
These can cause severe abortion storms in sheep. Clinical signs are bright to dark red
cotyledons (where blood exchange occurs with mother) with white foci of necrosis.
D - Thelazia
Thelazia is a genus of nematode worms (eyeworms) which are found in the ocular tissues.
Adults are usually found in the eyelids, tear glands, tear ducts, or the nictitating membrane.
They may be found in the eyeball itself under the conjunctiva or in the vitreous. Thelazia are
transmitted by Diptera (flies) which do not bite but feed on tears.Toxocara, which causes
ocular larval migrans, usually causes granulomas which may be seen in the retina and
appear more circular.

Which of the following is the next best step?
A - Administer an NSAID IV to counter surgical pain
B - Place an intravenous catheter and bolus 10 ml/kg of lactated Ringer's
C - Perform an electrocardiogram to determine the type of bradycardia
D - Give an anti-cholinergic intramuscularly for the slow heart rate
E - No treatment is necessary, this is normal with alpha-2 agonists

Pyrrolizidine alkaloid
The correct answer is pyrrolizidine alkaloid. The clinical signs described are typical for

hepatic cell division; thus resulting in large hepatocytes known as megalocytosis.
Acidifying diet
A - Cervicothoracic: C6-T2
B- Facial nerve
