Canine distemper, parvovirus how to treat

For you who love dogs, this must be a heavy topic, I am also a person who has experienced hardships, my 6 months of Labrador, after a small diagnosis, after a variety of treatments, and finally left me. Below we first fundamentally understand the symptoms of parvo and distemper, typical symptoms, as well as effective prevention and treatment, for your reference. Parvo: canine parvovirus disease, also known as canine viral enteritis or hemorrhagic enteritis. It is a highly contagious infectious disease of canids. The disease is almost spread all over the world, and most parts of China are endemic. The disease can occur all year round, but in winter and spring. Dogs of different ages, genders and breeds can be infected, but the mortality rate is very high, which often causes greater harm to the dog industry. There are two clinical manifestations of canine parvovirus disease, namely enteritis and myocarditis. Enteritis is more common in puppies aged 3-4 months. At the beginning of the disease, the body temperature rises, the spirit deteriorates, the food does not eat, the vomiting. The vomit is initially food, and the vomit is a yellowish-green or mucous substance with blood. One day after the onset of diarrhea, diarrhea early feces was mushy, with the development of the disease, stool was brown or tomato sauce like blood stool, and the number of defecation increased, after the heavy, blood stool with a special smell. After a few hours of bloody stool, the dog showed signs of severe dehydration. The eyeballs are sunk, the nose is dry, the skin elasticity is reduced, and the weight is obviously lost. For severe cases of intestinal bleeding, due to the accumulation of putrid matter in the intestine, it can cause poisoning and disseminated intravascular coagulation, so that the affected dog is in shock and coma, and will soon die. The characteristic difference between enteritis parvovirus disease and other digestive tract diseases is that vomiting and diarrhea coexist, and both vomiting and diarrhea are violent and ejective. Myocarditis is most common in puppies 4-6 weeks of age. It often presents with sudden onset, dyspnea, heart failure, and mild vomiting and diarrhea. Due to the sudden onset of this type, the disease dog resistance is weak, often too late to diagnose and treatment that in a short time to die. At present, the diagnostic kit of canine parvovirus developed by the Academy of Military Medical Sciences can be used as a reliable diagnostic basis for this disease. Where conditions exist, this kit can be used to diagnose the disease. In places where there are no test conditions, the disease can be suspected for dogs over 0 days of age who are not immunized according to the program, and there is no significant change in diet before the onset of vomiting and diarrhea, especially dogs with special odor and bloody stool. At present, there is no specific treatment for this disease. Once dogs appear obvious clinical symptoms or suspected of this disease, early muscle or subcutaneous injection of canine parvovirus hyperimmune serum or canine parvovirus monoclonal antibody. The dosage is 2-3 ml per kilogram of body weight, continuous use for 2-3 days, can receive better treatment effect. Timely symptomatic and supportive treatment of the dog is also necessary. It is mainly to supplement sugar, replenish fluid, stop vomiting, stop diarrhea, stop bleeding, and control secondary infection with antibiotics. The best way to prevent this disease is to vaccinate as required. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen breeding practices and veterinary health measures. Strictly disinfect the secretions and excretions of sick dogs and the carcasses and environment of dead dogs. The main symptoms of canine distemper: The incubation period of canine distemper is 3 to 7 days. The symptoms of canine distemper are varied, and are related to the destructive power of the virus, surrounding environmental conditions, age and immunity. Canine distemper is a highly contagious disease caused by canine distemper virus, which is highly contagious and has a mortality rate of more than 80%. Canine distemper symptoms in the early stage, the dog's body temperature as high as 39.5~41 degrees Celsius, loss of appetite, depression, eyes and nose discharge like water, sneezing, diarrhea, this is the symptoms of canine distemper early if timely detection and timely treatment, then the cure rate is very high, after 2 to 3 days for no symptoms of canine distemper period should pay attention to the dog is not improved. In the next 2 to 14 days, the temperature rises again, cough, there is purulent nasal discharge, purulent eye excrement at this time is already the middle of the distemper. At the same time, secondary gastrointestinal diseases, vomiting, diarrhea, appetite loss. High mental depression, lethargy. In the later stages of canine distemper, there are typical neurological symptoms, foaming at the mouth, convulsions, which are generally very difficult to cure but there have been some successful cases. It should be noted that the following are typical distemper symptoms of the development of canine distemper, which begins with an increase in body temperature and lasts for 1-3 days. Then it subsides, much like the symptoms of a cold recovery. But the temperature rises again a few days later for an indefinite duration. There are tears, red eye conjunctiva, and eye secretions from liquid to mucopurulent. The nose becomes dry and there is nasal fluid flowing out, which is serous at first and becomes purulent at last. In the early stage of the disease: the affected dog shows a watery discharge from the eyes and nose, the body temperature is above 40 degrees Celsius, lasting for about 2-3 days, a little food, close to room temperature, the affected dog seems to be improved, leading to most dog owners to relax their vigilance at this time if it can be found very good cure. This is followed by a second rise in body temperature, which lasts for several weeks, when the inflammation of the respiratory tract and digestive tract is more obvious. This situation is generally maintained between 1-2 weeks, there is a dry cough, into the middle of distemper: with the rise of the second body temperature does not fall, the condition is further worsened, all kinds of bacterial secondary infections are more serious, fear of shivering, the spirit is good and bad, nasal and eye secretions increase into purulent, oral erosion. Cough, pneumitis, pneumonia symptoms occur, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., appetite loss or do not eat at all, the body gradually wasting. This situation usually lasts for more than 1 month. After a wet cough, breathing difficulties. Vomiting, diarrhea, intussusception, and eventually death by severe dehydration and debilitation. Neurosymptomatic canine distemper is the typical manifestation of advanced canine distemper, most of which appear about 10 days after the above symptoms. Late stage: Symptoms of nervous distemper appear. In addition to the symptoms of canine distemper in the middle stage, the affected dogs occasionally develop neuropathic canine distemper symptoms, including lethargy, muscle pain and weakness, muscle spasms, imbalance, circular movement, epileptic panic 劂 and coma, etc. Generally, the dogs will die after 1-2 weeks of this symptom. In the middle and late stages of canine distemper symptoms, papules and blister appear on the skin of the affected dog under the abdomen or inside the thigh, and some form foot and hoof sclerosis. Clinically, the cases of foot pad keratosis and nasal keratosis cause the occurrence of neuropathic canine distemper symptoms. Symptoms vary depending on where canine distemper virus attacks the central nervous system. The virus damage to the brain, the manifestations of epilepsy, rotation, standing posture, gait instability, masticatory muscle and limb spasm and other neurological symptoms of canine distemper, the prognosis of this neurological canine distemper is generally poor. Canine distemper virus can cause some dog eye damage, clinically characterized by conjunctivitis, keratitis, keratitis is mostly about 15 days after the onset of the disease, the cornea becomes white, severe corneal ulcer, perforation, blindness. The mortality rate in puppies is very high, and the mortality rate can reach 80 to 90%. And may cause secondary pneumonia, enteritis, intussusception and other symptoms. Once neuropathic canine distemper symptoms appear clinically, the cure rate is very low but not absolute. Especially dogs that have not been immunized. All clinical symptomatic treatment, but the development of the disease is difficult to control, most of the nerve distemper symptoms and failure of death. Partially recovered dogs are generally left with sequelae of varying degrees. The incubation period of canine distemper varies greatly with different sources of infection, with an average of 3-7 days. Most of the symptoms of canine distemper first show the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, temperature rise (39.5-41.0 degrees), decreased appetite, poor spirit, eyes and nose fluid secretion, symptoms will be reduced after 1-2 days, body temperature tends to be normal, mental appetite improved. 3-4 days later, the temperature rose again, the condition deteriorated rapidly, do not eat or drink, runny nose, eye secretion increased or even paste around the eye, some squinting accompanied by corneal perforation. At the same time, severe pneumonia, enteritis symptoms also followed. In a few cases, the symptoms of digestive tract are mainly, such as decreased appetite, vomiting, watery stool or sticky stool, and bloody stool in severe cases. The dogs are extremely dehydrated and emaciated, which is very similar to the symptoms of canine parvovirus disease, but the onset of parvovirus disease is not rapid. The course of the disease lasts about 7-10 days, and some dogs also have mild upper respiratory symptoms. The neurological symptoms of canine distemper are one of the more characteristic symptoms of the disease, which appear in three ways: 1, 7-21 days after the recovery of systemic symptoms; Second, when the fever began to show; 3. It is accompanied by severe systemic distemper symptoms. The dog's lips, eyelids, ears, one of the front or back limbs of the local twitch, heavy salivation, chewing, foaming at the mouth, falling to the ground convulsions, epilepsy. After the convulsion stops, some appear barking, circling, and charging, the duration varies from a few seconds to a few minutes, and the number of attacks has also developed from several times a day to a dozen times. Most of the infected dogs have a poor prognosis. A small number of infected dogs may survive after treatment, and some are accompanied by sequelae such as weakness in the hindquarters, partial twitching of limbs and faces. Some sick dogs in the systemic canine distemper symptoms accompanied by dry nose cracked, four foot pad swelling, hyperplasia, keratosis, the formation of hard foot pad disease. A small number of infected dogs can also appear on the abdominal skin of pansy papules. In short, the symptoms of canine distemper are complex and varied, which are related to its viral characteristics and secondary mixed infection with other bacteria and viruses. The following should be noticed by dog owners: caused by canine distemper virus, this virus is very tough, and the chance of cure in the ordinary pet hospital is very small. The smaller the dog, the greater the death rate, even if the adult dog, can survive it is easy to leave behind facial twitching and other sequelae, also known as canine epilepsy. But as long as it can be completely cured, dogs will never suffer from distemper in their lifetime. The onset of canine distemper is faster than that of rabies, and the incubation period is no more than one week. The following are the symptoms of canine distemper after the onset: at the beginning of the fever of more than 40 degrees, listlessness, no appetite, there is a clear nose and eye feces. Two or three days later, the condition suddenly improved, the temperature and eating are back to normal, most people will think that the dog has been cured, so as to stop treatment, in fact, it is not. After repeated illness for a few days, it will continue to have a high fever, respiratory infection and distemper symptoms such as pneumonia. Immediately after the onset of irregular severe diarrhea, there is a thick nasal discharge, into the middle stage of distemper, stool is watery, mixed with blood and mucus, there is a foul smell. The skin of the sole and nose of the sick dog began to harden in the later stage, the nervous system was damaged, the convulsions continued, the serious dog had epilepsy and coma, and finally died at this time the dog was the most dangerous, and the general pet hospital would give up treatment. The symptoms after the onset of canine distemper are described above, such as your dog has the above symptoms of canine distemper, please go to the pet hospital in time for examination, prevention, the earlier the treatment of canine distemper the higher the success rate of cure, even to the late stage of canine distemper do not give up easily.
