| |
| − | question=" A female prehensile-tailed skink is presented to you for anorexia, but remains bright, alert and responsive. On physical examination you notice that the coelomic cavity appears enlarged and there are palpable round masses. Radiography confirms what you suspect to be dystocia. The owner informs you that oviposition has ceased over 48 hours ago. You decide to: ... "
| |
| − | choice1=" wait another 48 hours for oviposition to complete naturally."
| |
| − | choice3="perform an emergency ovariosalpingectomy."
| |
| − | choice2="euthanize the lizard."
| |
| − | choice4="inject a dose of calcium gluconate followed by oxytocin."
| |
| − | choice5="perform a percutaneous ovocentesis."
| |
| − | correctchoice="4"
| |
| − | feedback1="'''Incorrect!''' Treatment must be considered if oviposition hasn’t completed within 48 hours. [[Lizard and Snake Dystocia|WikiVet Article:Lizard and Snake Dystocia]] "
| |
| − | feedback3="'''Incorrect!''' The female is bright, alert and responsive. Surgery should only be considered if all other treatment options have failed, if there is an obstruction, if there is prolapsed devitalised oviduct tissue or if the reptile becomes dehydrated and lethargic. [[Lizard and Snake Dystocia|WikiVet Article:Lizard and Snake Dystocia]] "
| |
| − | feedback2="'''Incorrect!''' Dystocia is usually not an emergency situation if the female is bright, alert and responsive and can be successfully treated even up to a week after parturition begins. Lizards with dystocia should initially receive supportive care, especially maintaining environmental conditions within their POTZ and rehydration. [[Lizard and Snake Dystocia|WikiVet Article:Lizard and Snake Dystocia]] "
| |
| − | feedback4="'''Correct!''' An injection of calcium gluconate followed by a dose of oxytocin is a possible treatment. A second dose may be given later if no effects are observed after 1-2 hours. [[Lizard and Snake Dystocia|WikiVet Article:Lizard and Snake Dystocia]] "
| |
| − | feedback5="'''Incorrect!''' Aspiration must be done WITHIN the 48 hours of cessation of laying since the eggs harden making aspiration impossible. [[Lizard and Snake Dystocia|WikiVet Article:Lizard and Snake Dystocia]]"
