This article tells you that it is really necessary to prevent dog kennel cough in winter!
In winter, the temperature difference between air conditioners and outside the house is particularly prone to cause many infectious diseases in dogs, among which dog kennel cough also enters the peak period at this time. Canine kennel cough, infectious tracheobronchiitis, is a dog-infectious respiratory disease caused by a variety of pathogens and can invade dogs of any age. As long as one occurs, other dogs in contact with it will also experience this symptom immediately.
What is dog kennel cough
"dog kennel cough" is formally named in veterinary clinical clinically. Because of its rapid infection and exposure to contact infection, all healthy dogs (including all unimmunized dogs) who have been exposed to the disease are rarely spared, and often all dogs or puppies with whole nests are affected, so it is called "kennel cough". The course of this disease is more than one week, and a few cases can last for several months. Most dogs can gradually recover as their body's resistance increases, and a few dogs will have secondary bronchopneumonia due to inadequate treatment.
The causes of the disease are different due to the different pathogenic microorganisms that are concurrent or secondary infection. The symptoms are characterized by severe persistent spastic vaginal cough. "Cannual cough" has a long course and is not easy to cure, so some people call it "Cannual stubborn cough".
The main pathogen of "canine kennel cough" is Bordecelius canine bronchial sepsis. The main symptom of dog kennel cough is characteristic long-term persistent hollow cough, similar to those with children whooping cough, and a painful bowing movement and long sound of "click" appear at the end of the cough. Sick dogs without complications generally have normal body temperature and their appetite is not affected. The course of the disease is long, and commonly used antibiotic treatment is difficult to work. Young and ill dogs with concurrent or secondary canine parainfluenza virus and adenovirus type 2 infection may also have symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, diarrhea and vomiting, and their systemic condition is low, and the prognosis is suspicious or poor.
Onset symptoms
In the early stage of the disease, the dog's symptoms are dry cough, vomiting or vomiting after coughing, but the spirit and appetite are normal, and there are generally no fever, and there are no symptoms such as nasal. Within a few days, the symptoms are painful cough, body temperature rise, loss of appetite, and purulent nasal. The treatment of dog kennel cough requires both symptoms and root causes. On the one hand, the symptoms such as cough should be controlled, and on the other hand, the pathogen should be killed. It should be noted that since dog kennel cough often induces throat inflammation by multiple conditions, it is difficult for general drugs to reach this area, and most antibiotics cannot have immediate therapeutic effects. Some dog owners use it. Large doses of antibiotics. But this method is very unscientific. Long-term large doses of antibiotics will destroy the immune barrier of the dog and create opportunities for virus invasion.
In the early stage, if you find this situation, you can feed the dog some antiviral oral liquid, such as Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid and Snake Gallbladder Chuanbei Liquid, etc., and then get dexamethasone injection. In addition, pay attention to keeping the dog cold. In addition, don’t forget to disinfect the home regularly and give the dog a clean environment! Diagnosis and treatment of coughs in dogs. Cough is a symptom of multiple diseases, not an independent disease name , is a protective reflex action that can excrete foreign objects or secretions from the body.
But excessive cough is a pathological state, which often affects eating, rest, causes weight loss, and secondary to emphysema. There are many diseases with cough symptoms, such as canine distemper, canine infectious tracheobronchiolitis, canine parafluenza, canine herpes virus disease, canine tuberculosis, etc.; parasitic diseases such as filariasis; common diseases such as pulmonary edema, lobular pneumonia, bronchitis, bronchitis, tracheal paralysis, laryngitis, and colds can all cause cough.
