Question 276

You bring your cat in to see the veterinarian because Fiesty, a 6-year-old MN DMH, hesitates to jump on the counters and even the bed. He still eats and drinks normally but seems to be playing a bit less with his toys. Radiographs are performed, and hip arthritis is evident on radiographs. You want to start pain management, but have tried everything from pilling Fiesty to using Churu to grinding meds up in food and flavoring them. He absolutely will not take oral medications. You request an injectable option. Your cat weighs 6.5 kg. Your veterinarian discusses Solensia with you, and you feel it will be worthwhile.
Which of the following is false about frunevetmab?

A.The labeled FDA dose for a cat weighing 6.5 kg is one vial (7 mg) SC, once monthly
B.The target dose range is 1-2.8 mg/kg
C.Do not administer concurrently with a vaccination on the same day
D.The drug must be protected from light and refrigerated

Question 277

When administering an epaxial injection in a dog, at what angle should the needle be directed into the muscle?

A.95-degree angle
B.150-degree angle
C.45- to 90-degree angle
D.65- to 135-degree angle

Question 278

You will be evaluating a farm with alpaca and llama herds. Before going to the farm, you want to refresh your memory on key body language cues for camelids so that you are prepared, remain safe, and keep your veterinarian and the animals safe.
All of the following suggest that a llama or alpaca is threatened, except:

A.The tail is vertical
B.The ears are flat against the animal's neck
C.The tail is curved forward over the back
D.The animal is grumbling or screaming

Correct Answer: C

The camelid species is very big on non-verbal cues (and verbal ones). They may spit, stomp, rear, or kick as well. Biting is usually a last resort and generally only between intact males who are sparring. Be wary of spitting, though, and recognize when they may do so. Spitting means that they are spitting their stomach contents and saliva at you. Watching for behavioral and attitude changes may help prevent this stage from developing.
Camelid body language includes:
*Calm: The tail is flat against their butt, the ears are relaxed-slightly forward-and horizontal to lateral atop the head. They may be humming or have no vocalization. (Humming is a normal camelid behavior that is generally pleasant sounding and quiet.)
*On alert: The ears are cocked forward and the tail is carried at the horizontal to a 45-degree angle above the horizontal plane. They may be tongue-clicking or snorting (loose lips with a short burst of air).
*Alarmed: The ears are pointed forward, the tail is 45 degrees above the horizontal, and they will often vocalize with neighing-like sounds or a high-pitched whistling.
*Threatened or aggressive: The nose is pointed toward the sky, the ears are flat against the neck, and the tail is completely vertical. They often scream or grumble (very frightened/fearful) or screech (about to fight).
*Submissive: The front legs are slightly bent and the head and neck are carried low. The ears are held normally or above the horizontal, and the tail is carried curved over the back. They do not usually vocalize.
An animal at any stage could decide to spit, but usually they have to be on high alert or feel threatened. When they are about to spit, they will pin their ears back, and you will hear a gulping/gurgling-like sound that seems to come from the throat. Then, you will see them spit up stomach contents with saliva. They can spit pretty far, one to two meters, and in any direction. Further, they are adept at spitting directly into people and their faces or hair. Alpacas may spit more than llamas, but any camelid can spit. Hence, monitoring behavior is important to anticipate spitting, kicking, and other behavioral changes, as well as for response to evaluation and signs of pain.
