When it comes to canine distemper, parvovirus, etc., the owner usually buys a dog that is a week old. The dog starts to get sick 1 or 2 days after returning home. After examination, it is found to be canine distemper parvovirus. However, in some cases, the owner is not suitable to take care of the dog personally, but must isolate the dog, otherwise it will be transmitted to other dogs in the home and even the owner. There are roughly two situations where dogs need to be quarantined. One is an infectious disease between dogs, and the second is a zoonotic disease. No matter which type it is, owners should be ruthless and leave sick and weak dogs alone. together.

1. Infectious diseases among dogs

1. Kennel Cough Kennel Cough is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can cause dogs to cough, vomit, lethargy, and lose their appetite. Kennel cough can usually be spread to other dogs through the air, direct contact, and food, and is more common in puppies. As long as one dog in a litter develops kennel cough, other dogs will immediately become sick, so owners should isolate dogs with kennel cough in time. Owners can give their dogs antibiotics and cough suppressants to relieve cough symptoms, and they can also give their dogs vaccinations to prevent kennel cough.

2. Canine distemper: Canine distemper is a viral disease that is easily transmitted to dogs. Once a dog is infected with canine distemper, it will develop symptoms such as fever, runny nose, vomiting and diarrhea, difficulty breathing, and epilepsy. Canine distemper virus can be spread to other dogs through direct contact or through the air, so owners should pay attention to isolating sick dogs. Canine distemper can be cured, but it is difficult. The condition can be alleviated through drug treatment. Therefore, the most important thing is to take preventive measures, which is to take your dog for vaccination.

3. Parvovirus Parvovirus will quickly invade the dog's body and destroy the dog's intestinal tract and bone marrow cells, causing vomiting, bloody diarrhea, dehydration, etc. As long as the parvovirus damages the intestines, the possibility of death of the dog will greatly increase. The most effective way to prevent it is still to vaccinate the dog when he is a puppy. Parvovirus can survive in soil or outdoor environments for five to seven months, and longer in winter. If you have had a dog with parvovirus in the past, you must disinfect it thoroughly before raising a dog again, and then take the dog home after a while. 4. Coccidiosis Coccidiosis is a parasitic infection that can be transmitted to dogs or other domestic animals. The most common symptoms of sick dogs include bloody diarrhea, dehydration, loss of appetite, weight loss, etc. While this parasite spreads easily, it can also be easily eliminated with medication.

2. Zoonotic diseases

1. Ticks Ticks can carry a variety of zoonotic viruses, the most common of which is Lyme disease. The famous American singer Avril Lavigne suffered from Lyme disease. Although these diseases are not directly transmitted from dogs to owners, people may become sick after being bitten by ticks on dogs, which can damage the human immune system and can be fatal in severe cases. The owner should pay more attention toThe dog’s living environment should be bathed and dewormed regularly to prevent the dog from being bitten by ticks and getting sick.

2. Rabies Rabies can be transmitted to the owner through bites and saliva. It can be said that rabies is the most dangerous zoonotic disease known to humans. Rabies will present flu-like symptoms in the early stages, and will later develop into neurological dysfunction. Dogs will be afraid of light and water, become disoriented, have epilepsy, and even attack others. Once severe symptoms occur, neither dogs nor humans can be cured, and even treatment is difficult. But owners and dogs can prevent rabies through vaccination. Once this disease is discovered, the dog should be isolated immediately, otherwise the dog will attack other dogs or humans.

3. Leptospira Leptospirosis is a bacterial virus. This bacteria is commonly found in the urine of sick dogs, contaminated water or soil, so owners are likely to be caring for sick dogs. Sometimes, you accidentally come into contact with your dog’s urine and become infected. Once a dog contracts leptospirosis, its liver and other important organs will be affected. Doctors will prescribe some antibiotics or other drugs for treatment, but the owner still needs to isolate the dog to prevent infection.

4. Ringworm is caused by fungal infection in dogs. Common symptoms include itchy, red and swollen skin, scaly skin and hair loss. Ringworm can not only infect most animals, such as dogs, cats, and rabbits, but also humans, usually through direct contact. When an owner sees a dog showing the above symptoms, it is best not to touch it directly to avoid infection.

Owners only need to apply ointment to their dogs regularly. Although ringworm will not cause serious symptoms, it can easily be transmitted to children or the elderly with low immunity. These diseases are often contagious between dogs, so if you have more than one dog in your home, it’s best to quarantine each dog after he or she becomes sick. If it is a zoonotic disease, the owner should pay more attention to the daily care of the dog and appropriately control the distance from the dog. Although it is pitiful for a dog to be sick, you still need to pay more attention and be responsible for the dog and yourself. After all, the owner is sick, who will take care of the dog?
