Disease Symptoms For Dogs
Published on Apr 19 2010, in the categories: For dogs
This article will discuss disease symptoms for dogs. There are a lot of disease symptoms for dogs to be presented, but I will discuss the most frequent.
Leptospirosis
It is a disease common to humans and many animal species. The dog found two types of Leptospira: the heat. The most common source of infection is represented by mice and rats with their urine which pollute the stagnant water where the dogs go to drink or the environment.
Clinical symptoms are numerous: the most common are fatigue with extreme weakness of the hind quarters, marked renal involvement, gastritis with vomiting, diarrhea sometimes bleeding, pain of back injury and widespread form of jaundice. After an initial phase with very high temperature can occur even hypothermia. Mortality is low in the forms of leptospirosis canicola.
An indirect prophylaxis is accomplished by preventing hunting dogs drinking in puddles and making accurate rodent in the area where the animal lives. The vaccination is repeated at intervals of 6-8 months, offers the best guarantee of prevention, especially in areas where the disease is common. Antibiotic therapy is effective if the disease is caught early on, much rarer forms, healings are already advanced.
Tuberculosis
Fortunately uncommon, this disease requires careful consideration because transmissible to humans. Dogs are victims in poor nutrition. Responsible for infection are other animals, even of different species, and sometimes humans. The most common location is the lung. The most typical symptoms are cough, fever, difficult breathing, and weight loss.
For a precise diagnosis is using specific laboratory investigations (radiological examinations etc.). The danger of this disease is not recommended care; the law rightly requires killing the animal.
Piroplasmosis
It is a seasonal disease that could be defined as appears mainly in spring-summer when ticks that appear are the vehicle.
Distemper
It is the disease that kills more victims among dogs. The person responsible is a virus conveyed in various ways, especially Aerogen. The symptoms can be quite varied, depending on the apparatus hit. Location in puppies is common intestinal appear appetite, dehydration, bloody diarrhea. The nervous form is the most insidious and dangerous because it appears sometimes when the dog seems to have healed.
It is characterized by depression, uncoordinated movements, and epileptic convulsions. The outcome is usually ominous, if the animal survives can be impaired by spastic tremors (especially of nervous tics) localized. Another frequent location is dependent on the respiratory system, head of bronchitis or bronchopneumonia, and at the expense of the conjunctiva and nasal mucosa that appear reddened and covered with mucus.
Therapy with antibiotics, only serves to block the invasion of secondary bacteria, not the distemper virus. Therefore we recommend preventive vaccination, which stimulates the production by the animal organism, special substances called antibodies that neutralize the virus. Please note that the appearance of rate sufficient antibodies occurs at 7-10 days after surgery vaccination. There are many commercial preparations in which the distemper vaccine is associated with infectious hepatitis, sometimes that of leptospirosis.
