Question 2

What shouldn't fluoroquinolones be used in?

Accepted Answer

Young animals because they cause arthropathy

Answer

Chondrocytes are poisoned by fluoroquinolones. Vesicles are formed by damaged chondrocytes on the surfaces of joints. Arthritis damage from fluoroquinolones is more likely to occur at higher doses. Animals infected develop lameness.

Question 3

Which aminoglycoside is the most harmful to the kidneys?

Accepted Answer

Neomycin

Answer

The most nephrotoxic aminoglycoside is neomycin. Nephrotoxicosis, ototoxicosis, and vestibulotoxicosis are three of the main side effects of aminoglycosides. With frequent and prolonged administration of aminoglycosides, especially when trough concentrations are chronically increased, nephrotoxicosis risk increases. According to articles in the veterinary literature, neomycin is the most kidney-damaging of the group.

Question 4

Which drug class is NOT a wise choice to treat a gram-positive anaerobe infection?

Accepted Answer

Aminoglycosides

Answer

When it comes to gram-positive anaerobes, beta-lactams and macrolides are consistently effective. Some gram-positive anaerobes are also clinically resistant to tetracyclines. Clinically, aminoglycosides are ineffective against gram-positive anaerobes.

Question 5

The pace at which isotonic replacement crystalloid fluids should be administered intravenously to a dog in compensatory shock is?

Accepted Answer

90 (mL/kg)/hr

Answer

Dogs exhibiting compensatory shock or early decompensatory shock should be given 90 mL/kg of isotonic crystalloid replacement fluid per hour. It is standard procedure to provide 1/3 of the volume as a quick bolus before rechecking vital signs (such blood pressure). Give the next third of the volume if the patient is still exhibiting indications of shock, then reevaluate and give the final third if necessary.
