1. insulinoma
-surgery and biopsy of the mass is best way to confirm
-treatment is surgical excision: Middle-aged to older medium-large breed dog
with history of collapse, weakness, or seizures and hypoglycemia. Blood shows
hypoglycemia with hyperinsulinemia. U/S shows pancreatic mass. What's your di-
agnosis? How to confirm dx and treat?
2. one enlarged adrenal gland, one smaller adrenal gland
(one gland has an adenocarcinoma, the other is small due to negative feed-
back from excessive cortisol production by the adrenal tumor)
(normal adrenal glands have a diameter of less than 6mm): What do you see
on ultrasound with adrenal-dependent hyperadrenocorticism?
3. both adrenal glands hyperplastic and enlarged: What do you see on ultra-
sound with pituitary-dependent HAC?
4. TVT - transmissible venereal tumor
tx: spontaneous regression can occur but TOC is Vincristine (q1wk for 3-6
treatments)
prognosis is good-excellent for total remission with chemo: Bleeding vulvular
mass and distinctive round cell appearance on cytology. Dog was free-roaming from
Mexico. What's your diagnosis? Tx? Prognosis?
5. paraneoplastic hypercalcemia: What abnormality on chemistry would you ex-
pect to see in a dog with AGASACA (apocrine gland anal sac adenocarcinoma)
6. air bronchograms: What do you see in alveolar pattern on rads?
7. thickened/inflamed bronchial walls that look like "donuts" or "tram tracks"-
: How do you characterize a bronchial lung pattern on rads?
8. decreased visualization of pulmonary vessels, cardiac and diaphragm sil-
houettes due to inflammation, infiltration (neoplasia) or fluid: How do you
characterize an interstitial lung pattern on rads
9. Cephalexin (first gen Cephalosporins and beta-lactamase penicillins are
good first choice for mastitis): What antibiotic(s) is a good choice for a bitch with
mastitis
10. Discospondylitis - inflammation of intervertebral disc and adjacent verte-
bral bodies
most common in large breed dogs
clinical signs typically rapidly resolve with antibiotics (at least 12-16 weeks)-

intermittent anorexia, weight loss, stiff gait. No pain on palpation, absent pelvic limb
proprioception, increased spinal reflexes in pelvic limbs. Thoracolumbar rads show
disc space collapse at L4-L5 with adjacent vertebral end plate lysis. Diagnosis? Tx?

chelation with oral D-penicillamine: Tx for copper-associated hepatopathy
12. Bedlington terriers: What breed has a high incidence of Copper-associated
hepatopathy
13. Mini Schnauzers
West Highland White terriers
Cocker spaniels: What breeds seem to be overrepresented for sick sinus syn-
drome?
14. Rickettsia rickettsii: Which tick-borne zoonotic disease causes ecchymoses (in
picture) and petechiae due to thrombocytopenia and vasculitis?
15. -young adults, small breed dogs (<5 yo)
-present with acute onset of seizures and behavior change: What is the signal-
ment and presenting complaints for necrotizing meningoencephalitis?
16. -anti-seizure meds
-corticosteroids to immunosuppress
-+/- cyclosporine: Tx options for necrotizing meningoencephalitis
17. A - less cellular, predominately small parabasal cells
-no ovarian activity, uterine involution, and endometrial repair
-female doesn't attract male dogs and is not receptive
-lasts 1-6 months: Which image shows a dog in anestrus? What characteristics
define anestrus? How long is it?
18. proestrus - shift from parabasal cells (in anestrus) to small and large
intermediate cells and superficial epithelial cells: Which phase of estrous cycle
is when females attract male dogs but are not receptive to breeding and when the
bitch has bloody vulvar discharge? What do you see on cytology w/ this phase?
19. 9 days average (can be from 3 days to 3 weeks): How long does proestrus
last?
20. progesterone low
estrogen rising: What hormone changes occur with proestrus

21. C- >90% cornified epithelial cells
-receptive to breeding , LH SURGE
-lasts average of 9 days (3 days to 3 weeks): Which image shows a dog in estrus?
What characteristics define estrus and how long is it?
22. progesterone lowest
estrogen highest: What does P4 and E2 do during estrus?
23. B (early) and D
-diminished attraction to male dogs, vulvar discharge diminishes, edema
resolves
-lasts 2-3 months in absence of pregnancy: Which image shows a dog in
diestrus? What characteristics define diestrus and how long is it?
24. LH surge - ovulation typically occurs 2 days after: What event of the estrus
cycle indicates ovulation?
25. progesterone high - pyometra can occur: What hormone is high during
diestrus?
26. facial nerve (CN 7): Which nerve is damaged if you see a unilaterally droopy
face w/ drooped ear, lip, and eyelid?
27. paraphimosis: What is it called when a dog can't retract the penis into the
preputial cavity? Commonly after semen collection or coitus
28. inflammation of penile and preputial mucosa: What is balanoposthitis
29. persistent abnormal erection of the penis in the absence of sexual stimu-
lation: What is priapism
30. CHOP
Cyclophosphamide
Vincristine
Doxorubicin
Prednisone: What is the treatment protocol for lymphoma?
31. hypercalcemia: What is a negative prognostic factor seen on bloodwork with
lymphoma?
32. puppies in utero or up to 3 weeks old: What age of dog is likely to die from
systemic canine herpesvirus infection?
33. gross lesions of disseminated focal necrosis and hemorrhages in lungs,
kidneys, adrenals, liver, and GIT

characteristic lesions do you see with systemic canine herpesvirus infection?
