| − | questionnumber="3"
| |
| − | question="A snake is presented with lethargy and anorexia, and physical examination reveals a swelling in the caudal third of the coloemic cavity. You suspect kidney failure. How would you diagnose this?"
| |
| − | choice1="Biochemistry including urea, creatinine and uric acid"
| |
| − | choice3="Kidney biopsy"
| |
| − | choice2="Biochemistry including calcium, phosphorus and uric acid"
| |
| − | choice4="Radiology"
| |
| − | choice5="Urinalysis"
| |
| − | correctchoice="3"
| |
| − | feedback1="'''Incorrect''' Urea and creatinine are not useful in the diagnosis of renal disease in snakes. Uric acid is not a sensitive or specific indicator. [[Lizard and Snake Renal Disease|WikiVet Article: Lizard and Snake Renal Disease]]."
| |
| − | feedback3="'''Correct!''' Diagnosis of kidney failure in reptiles can be a problem for the veterinarian since non-invasive techniques may not be helpful. Kidney biopsy is the definitive diagnosis for renal failure. [[Lizard and Snake Renal Disease|WikiVet Article: Lizard and Snake Renal Disease]]."
| |
| − | feedback2="'''Incorrect''' Blood evaluation would be a logical step in this case, but levels of plasma biochemistry parameters are not diagnostic until the disease is advanced. [[Lizard and Snake Renal Disease|WikiVet Article: Lizard and Snake Renal Disease]]."
| |
| − | feedback4="'''Incorrect''' Poor contrast in the caudal abdomen may hamper detection of nephromegaly and so radiology is not considered a definitive diagnostic tool for kidney failure [[Lizard and Snake Renal Disease|Wikivet Article: Lizard and Snake Renal Disease]]."
| |
| − | feedback5="'''Incorrect''' Urinalysis is not useful in snakes since urine is modified in the distal colon and cloaca. [[Lizard and Snake Renal Disease|WikiVet Article:Lizard and Snake Renal Disease]]."

| − | questionnumber="4"
| |
| − | question="A milk snake is presented for open mouthed breathing. The diagnostic aids that you employ include bacteriology and endoscopic biopsy. Bacteriology reveals a mixed Gram-negative infection and histology diagnoses a suppurative pneumonia. What underlying cause would you suspect?"
| |
| − | choice1="Decreased immunocompetence due to poor husbandry"
| |
| − | choice3="Inclusion Body Disease"
| |
| − | choice2="Contagious bacterial infection"
| |
| − | choice4="Ophidian Paramyxovirus"
| |
| − | choice5="Ulcerative stomatitis"
| |
| − | correctchoice="1"
| |
| − | feedback1="'''Correct!''' The most common reason for respiratory tract infections is decreased immunocompetance due to poor husbandry. [[Snake Respiratory Disease|WikiVet Article: Snake Respiratory Disease]]."
| |
| − | feedback3="'''Incorrect''' IBD is a disease of Boidae and although secondary bacterial infections are often observed, rugurgitation and CNS signs are the common clinical signs associated with this disease. [[Inclusion Body Disease|WikiVet Article: Inclusion Body Disease]]."
| |
| − | feedback2="'''Incorrect''' Primary bacterial infections are possible but they are less common than secondary infections. [[Snake Respiratory Disease|WikiVet Article: Snake Respiratory Disease]]."
| |
| − | feedback4="'''Incorrect''' Bacterial infections are often secondary to OPMV infection but this is more likely to be seen in Viperidae. [[Ophidian Paramyxovirus|Wikivet Article: Ophidian Paramyxovirus]]."
| |
| − | feedback5="'''Incorrect''' Ulcerative stomatitis is the most common form of upper alimentary tract disease in reptiles. In snakes stomatitis is a very common multifactorial condition. Infectious agents generally are Gram-negative bacteria. However, stomatitis is usually secondary to stressors such as poor environmental conditions and malnutrition.
