Angiostrongylosis has emerged as a relatively common diagnosis in dogs in the UK over the past 10 to 15 years. The disease is caused by the nematode Angiostrongylus vasorum (commonly known as lungworm), whose life cycle includes a mollusc intermediate host. Disease presentation is very varied, including lung disease, coagulation defects, right-sided heart failure and neurological disease. This forum presents a case of right-sided heart failure secondary to pulmonary hypertension caused by A. vasorum, followed by a discussion on the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
Three UK bred Border collie puppies were presented for investigation of pyrexia and severe lameness with associated joint swelling. Investigations revealed neutropenia, radiographic findings suggesting metaphyseal osteopathy, and polyarthritis and all dogs were subsequently confirmed with trapped neutrophil syndrome. Clinical improvement was seen after treatment with prednisolone and antibiotics and the dogs all survived to adulthood with a good short- to medium-term outcome. Trapped neutrophil syndrome is an important differential diagnosis for young Border collie dogs in the UK presenting with pyrexia, neutropenia and musculoskeletal signs.
19 © 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd QUESTIONS 1.What are the differential diagnoses for neck pain and pyrexia? 2.Which of these does the signalment and history favour? 3.What is the significance of the abnormalities on the blood results? 4.What further tests would you perform? 5.Are there any risks involved in these tests and should any precautions be taken? 6. Interpret the results of CSF analysis (Table 2) what is the likely diagnosis? 7.How would you treat this case? 8.Are there any likely implications (side effects) of treatment in a case like this? A six month old male, entire, fully vaccinated Irish Wolfhound presented with a sudden onset one week history of malaise, anorexia, stiffness and an unwillingness to jump. There was no known history of trauma.
:Hypoadrenocorticism or Addison's disease is a condition affecting the adrenal glands, whereby the production of hormones from the adrenal cortices is reduced as a result of immune-mediated destruction of the glandular tissue. This leads to clinical disease including malaise, gastro-intestinal upset and potentially life-threatening shock and electrolyte disturbance. Presentation can be vague which requires good clinical awareness to be alert to the diagnosis, but treatment is straightforward and often rewarding.
ABSTRACT: Hyperthyroidism is a hormonal condition, involving over-activity of the thyroid gland(s). It is the most commonly diagnosed hormonal condition in cats and tends to occur in middle to old age. Veterinary nurses will be most commonly involved in spotting signs of the disease in their clinics or when conversing with clients on the telephone and in reception. They may also be involved in monitoring of medical or surgical treatment, or in assisting discussions between veterinary surgeons and clients as to which mode of treatment would be most appropriate for a particular patient. This article will concentrate on these points, but also deal briefly with other aspects for the sake of completeness.
ABSTRACT: Calcium is an element essential to various physiological processes; most notably normal neuromuscular function, cell membrane permeability, muscular contraction and blood clotting, as well as acting as a messenger within many cells. Calcium disorders are not infrequently encountered in veterinary medicine and early recognition of clinical signs is essential as cardiac arrhythmias and seizures are potentially fatal with both hyper- and hypocalcaemia. Disorders of calcium homeostasis may arise through primary dysfunction of the parathyroid glands, or as a result of disease processes distant from the glands which alter calcium balance and cause a secondary (appropriate) response from the glands.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common hormonal disease of dogs and cats involving a lack of insulin, resulting in an inability to control blood glucose. Normally, insulin is produced, in conjunction with glucagon, by the pancreas, which has both endocrine (hormonal) and exocrine (digestive) functions accounting for 2% and 98% of the pancreatic tissue respectively. Insulin acts to decrease blood glucose by several mechanisms, such as conversion to fatty acids or glycogen or uptake into cells; meanwhile, glucose reverses these processes and together the hormones keep glucose within the tight range of 4–7 mmol/L in the blood.
