Across
  1. 1. HORSE: contagious bacterial disease spread via nasal discharge causing facial abscesses and resulting in fever, depression, anorexia, purulent discharge, and possible airway obstruction; diagnosed via culture or PCR
  2. 3. HORSE: Anaerobic bacteria that produce toxins that inflame the GI tract resulting in diarrhea, depression, anorexia, colic; diagnosed via fecal PCR/ELISA
  3. 5. COW: occurs as a result of normal bovine bacterial flora, causes boney masses on mandible or inability to chew; diagnosed via oral exam
  4. 8. HORSE: colonization of the lungs by bacteria due to immune system compromise causing exercise intolerance, fever, tachypnea, and cough; diagnosed via hematology or transtracheal wash
  5. 11. HORSE: toxicity due to ingestion of cantharid resulting in diarrhea, depression, anorexia, and colic; diagnosed via blood chemistry
  6. 15. COW: viral exposure resulting in fever, nasal discharge, ocular discharge, and cough; diagnosed via isolation of virus or serology
  7. 20. COW: accidental ingestion of sharp foreign body resulting in penetration of reticulum and peritonitis accompanying fever, anorexia, cranial abdominal pain, and reluctance to rise/move; diagnosed via radiography, ultrasonography, or bloodwork
  8. 23. COW/GOAT/SHEEP/HORSE: infection of wound by spores resulting in stiff gait, sawhorse stance, and lockjaw; diagnosed via history and clinical signs
  9. 24. COW/GOAT/SHEEP: caused by normal GI fauna or sudden diet change resulting in sudden death, hemorrhagic diarrhea, and fever; diagnosed via fecal testing
  10. 27. COW/GOAT/SHEEP: caused by excessive carbohydrate intake resulting in depression, anorexia, bloat, and diarrhea; diagnosed via history and physical exam
  11. 28. HORSE: inflammation causing respiratory disease, limb swelling, conjuctivitis, and abortion but often asymptomatic; diagnosed via serology
  12. 29. COW/GOAT/SHEEP: caused by ingestion of contaminated feed resulting in depression, circling, head tilt, and facial asymmetry; diagnosed via neurologic exam
  13. 30. COW: fecal oral transmission of virus resulting in explosive diarrhea, depression, and anorexia; diagnosed via fecal
  14. 31. PIG: pig to pig contact or sow to piglet transmission resulting in sneezing and nasal discharge and eventually twisted/shortened snouts, excessive tearing, and epistaxis
  15. 32. PIG: pig to pig contact resulting in fever, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, and nasal discharge; diagnosed via viral isolation or pharyngeal swab
  16. 33. GOAT/SHEEP: ingestion of infected snail larvae/white tailed deer proximity resulting in ataxia, weakness, recumbency, and tetraplegia; diagnosed via history and clinical signs
  17. 34. COW: stress concurrent with viral infection resulting in fever, dyspnea, cough, and nasal discharge; diagnosed via history and clinical signs
  18. 35. COW: severe ketosis leading to CNS signs resulting in excessive licking or chewing, excitement, hypersensitivity, and ataxia; diagnosed via clinical signs and elevated ketones
  19. 36. COW/GOAT/SHEEP: can be "free gas" or "frothy" resulting in severe abdominal distention, dyspnea, depression, and anxiety; diagnosed via history and physical exam
  20. 37. HORSE: toxicity resulting in compromise of the GI mucosal barrier and decreased blood flow to the kidneys; diagnosed via history or hypoproteinemia
Down
  1. 1. HORSE: Bacterial infection caused by infected feed/water resulting in diarrhea, depression, anorexia, and colic; diagnosed via fecal culture
  2. 2. COW/GOAT/SHEEP: Transferred via oral ingestion or in utero resulting in chronic diarrhea and weight loss; diagnosed via fecal testing or serology
  3. 4. HORSE: viral respiratory disease resulting in fever, cough, depression, and nasal discharge; not typically diagnosed
  4. 6. HORSE: allergic airway disease resulting in cough, nasal discharge, flared nostrils, and tachypnea; diagnosed via bronchioalveolar lavage or thoracic radiographs
  5. 7. HORSE: Bacterial infection caused by freshwater insects, results in diarrhea, depression, anorexia, and colic; diagnosed via serology
  6. 9. COW: caused by trauma during improper oral medication/treatment administration resulting in pharyngeal swelling, anorexia, excessive salivation, and halitosis; diagnosed via digital palpation
  7. 10. COW/GOAT/SHEEP: normal bacteria of upper respiratory tract leading to pneumonia resulting in fever, dyspnea, cough, and nasal discharge; diagnosed via history or clinical signs
  8. 12. COW/GOAT/SHEEP/PIG: fecal/oral transmission of bacteria resulting in diarrhea with blood/mucous, fever and anorexia; diagnosed via fecal testing
  9. 13. COW: virus spread via natural means resulting in fever, weight loss, diarrhea, and mucosal ulceration; diagnosed via physical exam and/or laboratory blood testing
  10. 14. HORSE: Virus spread by fecal/oral transmission, results in fever, anorexia, and mild colic; diagnosed via fecal PCR
  11. 16. COW/GOAT/SHEEP: caused by rumen insult/decreased thiamine resulting in depression, anorexia, blindness, and dorsomedial strabismus; diagnosed via clinical signs or thiamine level
  12. 17. PIG: spread via fecal/oral route resulting in colitis, diarrhea, emaciation, and dehydration; diagnosed via bacterial isolation in colon
  13. 18. PIG: pig to pig contact resulting in death, high fever, dyspnea, and cough; diagnosed via nasal swab
  14. 19. COW/GOAT/SHEEP/HORSE: spread by contaminated saliva resulting in paralysis, depression, ataxia, excessive salivation; diagnosed via history, clinical signs, or necropsy
  15. 21. COW/GOAT/SHEEP: caused by rapid dietary changes or spoiled food resulting in acute anorexia, decreased rumen motility, and malodorous diarrhea; diagnosed via history and physical exam
  16. 22. HORSE: virus causing respiratory disease and transmitted via respiratory tract secretions resulting in fever, cough, depression, nasal discharge; typically not diagnosed
  17. 25. PIG: fecal/oral transmission resulting in intermittent diarrhea, hemorrhagic diarrhea in seniors, anorexia, and weight loss; diagnosed via fecal PCR
  18. 26. COW/GOAT: normal bacterial flora resulting in hard, swollen tongue or swelling near lips and face; diagnosed via oral exam
