Metastatic pneumonia is manifested as... (3)
respiratory disease, weight loss, and thoracic pain.
-
Metastatic pneumonia causes... (3)
anemia, hemoptysis (coughing up blood), and melena.
-
Describe the treatment of metastatic pneumonia.
[unrewarding] long-term penicillin; once bleeding is evident, there is no point in treating her

-
Fog fever clinical signs can mimic ___________; the only way to differentiate them is to _________.
hypomagnesmia (grass tetany); take a biopsy
-
What causes fog fever ABPE? (pathogenesis)
lush green pastures in fall--> fermentation of L-tryptophan in rumen to 3-methylindole (3-MI)--> 3-MI to lung, metabolized by Clara cells to reactive intermediates--> cell necrosis--> lung inflammation and edema
-
What are the classic lesions associated with ABPE? (5)
edema, diffuse alveolar epithelial necrosis, hyaline membrane formation, type II alveolar epithelial cell hyperplasia, +/- multi-nucleate giant cells

lung worms- Dictyocaulus viviparous
-
Verminous pneumonia is __(2)__ pneumonia.
alveolar and interstitial
-
Describe the life cycle of D. viviparous.
[direct life cycle] adults live in airways and lay eggs--> larvae coughed up and swallowed--> larvae passed in feces--> L3 on grass are eaten
