question="Which of the following is NOT recommended for use in the treatment of lizard skin mites?"
choice1="Pyrethrins and pyrethroids"
choice3="Ivermectin"
choice2="Fipronil"
choice4="Organophosphates"
choice5="Water"
correctchoice="4"
feedback1="'''Incorrect!''' Pyrethrins and pyrethroids may be used on snakes as well as the snake environment in the eradication of mites. [[Lizard Mites|WikiVet Article:Lizard Mites]]."
feedback3="'''Incorrect!''' Ivermectin is an effective acaricide by oral, parenteral or topical administration [[Lizard Mites|WikiVet Article: Lizard Mites]]."
feedback2="'''Incorrect!''' Fipronil is an effective topical acaricide that may last several months with one application. The environment may also be treated. It appears to be safe and effective. [[Lizard Mites|WikiVet Article: Lizard Mites]]."
feedback4="'''Correct!''' Organophosphates (OPs), including trichlorphon and dichlorvos, have been recommended for treating lizard mites infestation. However, due to their possible toxicity for both humans and reptiles, their use should be discouraged. [[Lizard Mites|Wikivet Article: Lizard Mites]]."
feedback5="'''Incorrect!''' Steam cleaning of the environment is extremely useful since all stages of mites are susceptible to both drowning and high temperatures. Infested snakes find some relief by soaking themselves. Water can therefore be used as a non-toxic adjunct treatment. Affected snakes, especially those that are severely compromised, can benefit from daily soaks of at least one hour. [[Lizard Mites|WikiVet Article:Lizard Mites]]."

questionnumber="4"
question="A lizard is presenting several clinical signs of MBD: lethargy and reluctance to move, difficulty in lifting body off ground, ataxia, anorexia and weight loss, and swelling of soft mandibles. How do you confirm this diagnosis?"
choice1="Blood culture"
choice3="Ultrasound"
choice2="Radiography and biochemistry"
choice4="Kidney biopsy"
choice5="Urinalysis"
correctchoice="2"
feedback1="'''Incorrect!''' Blood culture would not be useful in diagnosing MBD. [[Lizard Metabolic Bone Disease|WikiVet Article:Lizard Metabolic Bone Disease]]"
feedback3="'''Incorrect!''' Ultrasound would not be useful in diagnosing MBD. [[Lizard Metabolic Bone Disease|WikiVet Article:Lizard Metabolic Bone Disease]]"
feedback2="'''Correct!''' Radiographs are very effective in confirming the diagnosis; indeed, radiolucent transverse processes in the caudal vertebrae are pathognomonic of MBD in lizards. Biochemistry: calcium is generally within normal limits but may be low, especially in neurological cases; the calcifediol assay can be done on plasma to determine the status. [[Lizard Metabolic Bone Disease|WikiVet Article:Lizard Metabolic Bone Disease]]"
feedback4="'''Incorrect!''' A kidney biopsy would not be useful in diagnosing MBD. [[Lizard Metabolic Bone Disease|WikiVet Article:Lizard Metabolic Bone Disease]] "
feedback5="'''Incorrect!''' Urinalysis is not useful since urine is modified in the distal colon and cloaca.[[Lizard Metabolic Bone Disease|WikiVet Article:Lizard Metabolic Bone Disease]]" "

questionnumber="5"
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]]"
