Correct Answer
A. MaculeExplanation
A macule is a circumscribed, flat spot that is characterized by a change in color. It is up to 1 cm in size. This means that it is a small, flat area on the skin that is different in color compared to the surrounding skin. It does not have any elevation or texture changes, and it is not raised or palpable. Macules can be caused by various factors, such as pigmentation changes, inflammation, or vascular abnormalities.Rate this question:

Transitional cell carcinomia usually affects which area of the urinary bladder? ____________
Correct Answer
trigone
TrigoneExplanation
Transitional cell carcinoma usually affects the trigone area of the urinary bladder. The trigone is a triangular-shaped region located at the base of the bladder, where the ureters and urethra connect. It is a common site for the development of bladder cancer because the cells in this area are more susceptible to mutation and malignant transformation.Rate this question:

All of the flowing ARE true causes of urinary inconteincence in dogs, but which is the most common cause in female dogs?
- A.
Cystitis
- B.
Psychogenic polydipsia
- C.
Spinal cord disease
- D.
Canine cognitive dysfunction
- E.
Lack of estrogen
- F.
Ectopic ureter
Correct Answer
E. Lack of estrogenExplanation
Lack of estrogen is the most common cause of urinary incontinence in female dogs. Estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining the tone of the urethral sphincter, which is responsible for controlling the flow of urine. When estrogen levels decrease, the urethral sphincter weakens, leading to urinary incontinence. Other causes such as cystitis, psychogenic polydipsia, spinal cord disease, canine cognitive dysfunction, and ectopic ureter can also contribute to urinary incontinence in dogs, but lack of estrogen is the most prevalent cause in female dogs.Rate this question:

A. RhinitisExplanation
Rhinitis is the inflammation of the nasal passages, which can cause symptoms such as sneezing, congestion, and runny nose. It is a common condition that can be caused by allergies, infections, or irritants. In the context of the given options, rhinitis is the most likely explanation for the symptoms described. Reverse sneezing, on the other hand, is a reflex action in which a dog inhales rapidly and forcefully through its nose, often accompanied by snorting or gagging sounds. While reverse sneezing can be a symptom of rhinitis, it is not a condition itself.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. RhinitisExplanation
Turbinate destruction and erosion are commonly associated with rhinitis. Rhinitis is the inflammation of the nasal mucosa, which can cause symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. Turbinate destruction and erosion can occur as a result of chronic inflammation in the nasal passages. This can lead to nasal obstruction and difficulty breathing. Therefore, the correct answer is rhinitis.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
H. SinusitisExplanation
Sinusitis is the correct answer because it is a condition that must be differentiated from an infected tooth root. Sinusitis is the inflammation of the sinuses, which are air-filled spaces in the skull connected to the nasal passages. It can cause symptoms similar to an infected tooth root, such as facial pain, pressure, and a toothache. However, sinusitis is caused by inflammation of the sinuses, while an infected tooth root is caused by a bacterial infection. Therefore, it is important to distinguish between the two conditions to provide appropriate treatment.Rate this question:

It can be an extension of rhinitis, which is inflammation of the nasal passages, or it can be a problem on its own. Sinusitis can occur when the sinuses become blocked and filled with fluid, leading to the growth of bacteria or viruses. Symptoms of sinusitis include facial pain or pressure, nasal congestion, headache, and thick nasal discharge. Treatment may include antibiotics, decongestants, and nasal irrigation.Rate this question:

A. TrueExplanation
Chemotherapy in companion animals is aimed at providing palliative care. This means that the goal of chemotherapy is to alleviate symptoms, improve the quality of life, and extend the lifespan of the animal, rather than to cure the underlying disease. Chemotherapy can help manage pain, control the spread of cancer, and improve overall well-being in animals.

- E.
Basal cell carcinoma
Correct Answer
A. FibroscarcomaExplanation
Fibroscarcoma is commonly observed in dolichocephalic breeds, which are breeds with long and narrow heads. If fibroscarcoma is surgically removed, wide margins are required, meaning that a larger area of tissue around the tumor needs to be removed to ensure complete removal of the cancerous cells. This is likely because fibroscarcoma has a higher chance of recurrence or spreading if not completely excised.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Squamous cell carcinomaExplanation
Squamous cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that commonly affects the white areas of the skin. It is associated with exposure to UV radiation, such as from the sun or tanning beds. This type of cancer develops in the squamous cells, which are the flat cells that make up the outermost layer of the skin. Squamous cell carcinoma can appear as a scaly, red patch, a sore that does not heal, or a raised growth with a central depression. Early detection and treatment are important for a better prognosis.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Squamous cell carcinomaExplanation
Squamous cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that is not typically malignant, meaning it does not usually spread to other parts of the body. However, it is locally invasive, meaning it can grow and invade nearby tissues. This type of cancer originates in the squamous cells, which are flat cells found on the surface of the skin. Squamous cell carcinoma is often caused by prolonged exposure to the sun's UV rays and can develop on areas of the skin that are frequently exposed, such as the face, neck, and hands. Early detection and treatment are important to prevent the cancer from spreading and causing further complications.Rate this question:

D. LympHosarcomaExplanation
Lymphosarcoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell. In cats, it is almost always caused by the feline leukemia virus (FeLV). FeLV is a retrovirus that weakens the immune system and makes cats more susceptible to various diseases, including lymphosarcoma. Lymphosarcoma can affect various organs and tissues in the body and can cause symptoms such as weight loss, enlarged lymph nodes, and lethargy. Treatment options for lymphosarcoma in cats may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or supportive care to manage symptoms.Rate this question:

D. LympHosarcomaExplanation
Lymphosarcoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is responsible for fighting infections and diseases in the body. It is often difficult to detect in its early stages because it can be asymptomatic or present with vague symptoms. By the time the dog's owner notices an issue, it suggests that the cancer has already progressed and become a generalized condition.Rate this question:

Squamous cell carcinoma
- D.
Lymphosarcoma
- E.
Basal cell carcinoma
Correct Answer
E. Basal cell carcinomaExplanation
Basal cell carcinoma is the correct answer because it originates from the epithelial layer of the skin. It can be both benign and malignant, meaning it can be non-cancerous or cancerous. The other options listed, such as fibrosarcoma, epulis, squamous cell carcinoma, and lymphosarcoma, do not specifically originate from the epithelial layer of the skin.Rate this question:

B. Stage IIExplanation
Stage II refers to the stage of cancer where the tumor has grown larger and may have spread to nearby lymph nodes, but has not yet spread to other parts of the body. In this case, the presence of multiple lymph nodes in a regional area suggests that the cancer has progressed beyond Stage I, where the tumor is confined to its site of origin.Rate this question:

C. Stage IIIExplanation
Stage III refers to the advanced stage of a disease or condition. In the context of generalized lymphadenopathy, it indicates that the lymph nodes are enlarged and involved in multiple areas of the body. This stage suggests that the disease has progressed and spread beyond the initial site of origin. It may indicate the presence of a more serious underlying condition or a systemic infection. Further medical evaluation and treatment are necessary to determine the specific cause and manage the condition appropriately.Rate this question:
