Question

question 31 1 pts rumen fluid ph less than 5.5 is suggestive of which of the following? protein overload fluid overload grain overload calcium deficiency question 32 1 pts second - degree atrioventricular (av) block is a common arrhythmia in horses, particularly fit, athletic horses. the arrhythmia occurs as the result of altered conduction through the av node. if the is arrhythmia is detected, the horse should be exercised slightly until there is a return to normal sinus rhythm. should be exercise - restricted and rested. should be worked up further to determine the underlying cardiac pathology. should be given an alpha2 agonist, such as xylazine or detomidine.

Explanation:

For Question 31, grain overload in ruminants can cause a decrease in rumen fluid pH due to the production of lactic - acid from rapid fermentation of grains. For Question 32, when a second - degree atrioventricular (AV) block is detected in a horse, it is important to rest the horse to avoid further stress on the heart and to further investigate the underlying cardiac pathology to determine the appropriate long - term management.

Answer:

Question 31: Grain overload
Question 32: should be exercise - restricted and rested, should be worked up further to determine the underlying cardiac pathology.
