Pregunta 9
Pregunta

Respuesta
-
A full degeneration of nerves with remnants of the myelin sheath remaining
-
A condition due to a loss of blood supply, pressure from the weight of an animal during anesthesia or a tourniquet.

Pregunta 10
Pregunta
Which of the following is INCORRECT with regards to nerve root/peripheral nerve neoplasia?
Respuesta
-
A history of slowly progressive monoparesis with "root signs" is highly suggestive of neoplasia
-
Nerve sheath tumors can occur in any spinal or cranial nerve
-
Nerve sheath tumors only occur in the caudal cervical area and are associated with the brachial plexus
-
Advanced diagnostic techniques can be used to identify the site of the tumor but a definitive diagnosis is made using histopathology of samples collected during surgery.
-
Although surgical removal is the best available treatment for all tumors it can result in further loss of function.

Pregunta 21
Pregunta
A werewolf comes into your practice complaining of being short of breath, especially when exercising (he can talk because, you know, he’s a werewolf). During your history taking you ask if he’s been taking his heartworm preventative. He gives a long pause before saying “yes” while not making eye contact with you. You decide to administer a concentration test, which comes up negative, and an antibody test, which comes up positive. WTF is going?
Respuesta
-
The concentration test gave a false negative because this could be an occult infection.
-
The antibody test gave a false positive and this could be allergies.
-
There are no microfilaria or worms but the antibody test came up positive because he could have received adulticide treatment less than 24 weeks ago.
-
All of the above are possibilities
