Common dog diseases and treatments

(1) virus and bacterial diseases

1. Canine distemper canine distemper dog are the most serious viral diseases, have a high degree of contagious. Occurred mainly in March-December of the puppies age, other age can also be infected. In addition to dogs, the wolf, fox and other wild animals, especially mink, ferrets vulnerable to flu disease, they can raise mink industry is a major threat. Severest of the eyes, nose secretions, saliva and urine contain viruses, through the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract infection. Some damage (such as improper feeding and management, internal and external parasites) can promote the occurrence of the disease, people's clothes and shoes are also infected. Once the virus penetrated the body and can be breeding, while Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Bordetella bronchiseptica avium easily, such as secondary infection, making the disease more complicated.

Symptoms: incubation period of 7-8 days. Early disease with fever (39.5-41 ℃) ,3 - 4 days down to room temperature, between 11 - 12 days and then increased. eyes or mucous membrane has serous purulent secretions (lymphocytes and neutrophils) reduction, 6 × 109 / L (6,000 / mm3) below may also be inflammation of the tonsils, pharynx mucosa flushing .

The basis of clinical symptoms and lesion characteristics of four types:

Him card type is common, sneezing, sometimes coughing, pale conjunctiva, serous or mucous conjunctivitis, shame that, anorexia, and sometimes mild diarrhea. Subsequently showed respiratory type symptoms. Apart from the original pharyngitis, but also happened laryngitis, respiratory mucosal infections, bronchitis occur. percussion real change (voiced). Were purulent nasal secretions, light yellow-green. Severest difficulty in breathing, panting mouth opening.

Eczema-type normal or high body temperature (39.4 ℃). In the chest, abdomen, legs inside the armpit, such as less hair on the skin herpes pus. Initially are skin erythema, followed by the formation of light yellow-green blisters, and then the formation of pustules. Pustules rupture leaving behind a white spot.

Many scholars also lists the Eye. In fact, with the exception of eczema type, the other of various types can be seen. Eyelid closure, has purulent secretions. Conjunctivitis can also be extended to the cornea and eye, causing corneal cataract, ulcers and perforation.

Gastrointestinal type (GI type) mouth salivation, vomiting, diarrhea (water samples, jam-like and even bloody, or has the bubble), dehydration, emaciation, weakness. Mouth and tongue ulcers.

Neural-type are a special category, no significant changes in internal organs, commonly arise in the 14-day "rehabilitation" after the sudden onset of symptoms. The performance of lip muscle, temporalis muscle, masseter muscle and limbs and trunk muscles showed some have rhythm and sustained spasm, after the paralysis happened. Initially only hindlimb road foundation, later leg weakness, the latter should not stand, due to respiratory paralysis and died. Another nerve-type performance for epileptic seizures, cramps, dogs howl. In severe cases, listening, olfactory, visual wholly disappeared. Severest self-destruction pustules appear mad bite site, and exposed bone.

The general mortality rate of 20% - 50%, neural-type in 90%. Access to life-long immunity immortality.

Diagnosis: Based on clinical symptoms, to a suspected diagnosis. Should be confirmed to be infected with the organization from the inclusion bodies found; more important is the separation of viruses and ferrets through the diagnosis of fluorescent antibody technique.

Combat: The combination of serum and antibiotics. General is to support and symptomatic therapy, the application of antipyretic, sedatives and antibiotics.

Fundamental issues are vaccinated. The first time was in postweaning 3 - 4 months after inoculation and then twice in a two-week interval between.

2. Rabies Rabies is caused by a neurotropic virus, mammals (including humans) and chicken infectious diseases. Dogs, foxes, wolves and other animals are the storage of the virus hosts, the salivary glands are infected bat. Asymptomatic infected animals can be hidden long-term detoxification. Constitute the above-mentioned source of infection for humans and animals against rabies. The virus is mainly present in the central nervous system organization, salivary glands. Through dog bites or skin disease, mucosal damage and infection. Virus on a variety of disinfection are more sensitive. Virus through rats, mice, rabbits, chicken embryos, such as passage, and its virulence weakened, attenuated vaccine used in the preparation.

Symptoms: The incubation period ranges, with the bite site is closely related to the distance from the brain, the more near the sooner, as the scope is 12 - 360 days, generally for 2 - 8 weeks. According to clinical manifestations in three stages, and sometimes not obvious.
