What I hoped you learned from my presentation … the correct answers to polling questions were:
1) Choose the BEST Response that is MOST CONVINCING that True UTI Exists in a Dog:
1. 100 cfu/ml E.coli cystocentesis sample
2. 1,000 cfu/ml E. coli voided urine - female
3. 10,000 cfu/ml E. coli voided urine - female
4. 100,000 cfu/ml E. coli voided urine -female
5. 10,000 cfu/ml E. coli cystocentesis sample
(5) is the correct choice
2) Choose the MOST CORRRECT Statement Below About Oral Treatment of UNCOMPLICATED UTI in Dogs Likely to be most successful:
1. 14 to 21 days of any antibiotic is necessary to be successful most of the time to eradicate UTI
2. High dose short duration enrofloxacin is given at 20 mg/kg for one treatment
3. High dose short duration enrofloxacin is given at 20 mg/kg once a day for 3 days
4. Amoxicillin-clavulanate is given twice daily for 3 days
5. 15 mg/kg of TMP-Sulfa twice daily for 3 days is as effective as high dose short duration enrofloxacin.
(3) is the correct choice
(3) Choose the INCORRECT Response about UTI:
1. Cats get bacterial UTI just as frequently as do dogs.
2 Pyuria is supportive for the diagnosis of UTI
3. Pyuria + bacteriuria is highly supportive for the diagnosis of UTI.
4. ID of organsims in urinary sediment with Gram Stain or Diff Quick® increases your certainty for the diagnosis of UTI.
5. Dip-Paddle inoculation systems for in-house urine culture are helpful in the diagnosis of UTI.
(1) is the correct choice
