1. Canine distemper (Canine distemper)

【Infection route】

Airborne infection is the route of infection. Indirect or direct contact with eye and nasal secretions of infected dogs can also infect healthy dogs.

【Clinical symptoms】

Initial symptoms include high fever, anorexia, yellow purulent discharge from the eyes and nose, vomiting (vomiting white foam), diarrhea, and hardening of the soles of the feet. Later stages vary depending on the virus, resulting in convulsions and uncoordinated limbs. , tremors, paralysis and other symptoms, the mortality rate of adult dogs is as high as 50%, and the mortality rate of puppies is even higher.

The affected dog is lucky to survive this test, but it may also be accompanied by sequelae: partial or total paralysis, permanent damage to the nervous system such as smell, hearing, and vision.

【Treatment】

Currently, there are no effective drugs for treatment, nor are there any drugs that can prevent the virus from destroying the immune and nervous systems. Doctors can only provide supportive therapy: infusion therapy, nutritional injections, antibiotic treatment, antiviral serum, and sedation to relieve the symptoms of pumping and accumulation.

2. Canine parvovirus enteritis or canine hemorrhagic enteritis (Canine parvovirus)

【Infection route】

Infection is through fecal contact. Objects that have been in contact with feces (e.g. cages, clothes, shoes) can also be used as vectors of infection. If the environment permits, the virus can survive in a suitable environment for up to 5 months.

The incubation period is 4 to 5 days. Symptoms include lethargy, high fever, vomiting, diarrhea (bloody diarrhea), anorexia, physical weakness, weight loss, etc. The virus mainly infects vigorously dividing cell tissues. Myocardial cells divide most vigorously during puppyhood. If the infected puppy dies,The rate increases to 70%, and the remaining 30% of rescued puppies may be accompanied by heart disease, leading to death from heart failure months or years later.

【Treatment】

There is currently no specific medicine to treat this disease. The virus can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea in puppies, causing dehydration. Food and water cannot be given immediately if the vomiting is severe. Intravenous infusion should be used to replenish water and nutrition, and antibiotics should be given to prevent secondary infections, as well as administer Give interferon and immunoglobulin.
