1. e — Copper storage disease is a very common cause of hepatic disease in Bedlington terriers.
2. d — This test must be done by a diagnostic laboratory. Several stool samples are submitted.
3. b — Aspiration pneumonia is a frequent complication of esophageal regurgitation.
4. c — Hyperthermia, hypoxia, hypotension, and chocolate intoxication (theobromine intoxication) are each associated with tachycardias. Hypothryroidism, with its associated lowering of the basal metabolic rate, may be associated with bradycardia.
5. a — Acute enterotoxigenic colibacillosis usually occurs in calves under 5 d of age and rarely later. The onset is very rapid, and previously healthy calves can be in a state of collapse within 24 h. The time of onset is helpful in determining the presumptive diagnosis.
6. d — Infection of a pregnant cow during days 40 to 125 d of gestation results in a persistently infected calf.
7. e — Each week the farmer must achieve pregnancy in 2 gilts to replace the 2 culled sows. About 50% to 60% of gilts are cycling by 6 to 7 months of age. In gilts conception rates are about 60% to 70%. Gilts remain in heat only 1 day.
8. b — Volvulus of the cecum and volvulus of the first 2 segments of the proximal colon usually occur simultaneously and result in the clinical signs described. The area of ping is centered too far caudally to be abomasum; volvulus of the omasum does not occur by itself. Volvulus of the jejunoileum results in several smaller areas of ping and one would palpate distended loops of small intestine per rectum. Volvulus of the ascending colon is rare unless accompanied by cecal volvulus.
9. p — b Relief of pain is patient oriented.
q — c Monetary gain is veterinarian oriented.
r — e Research is conducted to increase knowledge.
s — d Public health is protected to the benefit of society.
t — a Client satisfaction is obviously client-oriented
10. c — For this reason blood gas determinations are not commonly performed.
