    Study Notes

    Anatomy and Physiology

    • The cremaster muscle is responsible for pulling the testicles closer to the body.

    Reproductive Biology

    • Ovulation in cows occurs during estrus.

    Endocrinology

    • The corpus luteum is responsible for the release of progesterone during pregnancy.

    Diagnostic Imaging

    • An overexposed radiograph results in a poor-quality image.

    Pharmacology and Therapeutics

    • Fleet (sodium phosphate) enemas are contraindicated in cats.
    • Glucocorticoid usage commonly results in iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism.
    • Furosemide is used to manage congestive heart failure in dogs.

    Anesthesia and Surgery

    • Malignant hyperthermia is likely to occur during anesthesia in pigs.
    • Swine are prone to developing malignant hyperthermia during anesthesia.
    • A heavy-duty instrument, such as a DeBakey forceps, is suitable for handling heavy tissues during surgery.

    Clinical Medicine

    • The gestation period in mares is approximately 320-340 days.

    • The first-line treatment for an animal in shock is fluid therapy.
    • An unresponsive feline to all stimuli, including pain, is described as comatose.
    • In a dog experiencing status epilepticus, the first drug of choice is diazepam.
