Can infectious bronchitis in dogs is not a specific disease, but a syndrome caused by some diseases that are mainly coughing. Especially highly contagious, dogs raised in the same ward can quickly become infected and become ill, so some people also call it "canine kennel cough". This disease is a highly contagious respiratory disease.
If dogs have infectious bronchitis, they will have sudden attacks, sudden coughs, irregular spitting, eye and nose secretions.
1. Causes of infectious bronchitis in canine:
1. This disease is caused by single or mixed infection of multiple pathogens.
2. Environmental factors and factors such as humidity, cold, wind, transportation stress, etc. that can reduce the body's resistance can all increase the body's susceptibility.
3. Common pathogens include viruses such as canine parainfluenza virus, canine distemper virus, herpes virus, reovirus, etc.; bacteria such as Borex bronchial sepsis, Pasteurella and other possible pathogenic bacteria and mycoplasma.
4. In addition, vigorous exercise or excitement can also worsen the condition.
2. Clinical symptoms of infectious bronchitis in dogs:
1. The most common clinical symptoms of this disease are paroxysmal short and powerful dry cough in dogs, often accompanied by vomiting after coughing;
2. Runny nose, mild or moderate increase in body temperature;
3. Refusing to eat, mental atrophy. The course of the disease may evolve into chronic tracheobronchiolitis or pneumonia;
4. The disease usually lasts 10-20 days;
3. Prevention and treatment measures for infectious bronchitis in dogs:
1. Treatment. There are currently no effective therapeutic drugs, so care should be strengthened, nutrition should be improved, symptomatic treatment should be treated and prevented secondary infections. Pay special attention to preventing cold and keeping warm in nursing. Symptom-based treatment is mainly used to relieve cough, relieve asthma, and prevent inflammation. It is advisable to prevent bacterial infections to use Guangpu antibiotics and certain drugs that can reach effective concentrations in the trachea and bronchial mucosa. For example, commonly used drugs include: codeine, tyloxin, tetracycline, kanamycin, cephalosporin, chlormycin, etc.
2. Corticosteroids and steroids have anti-inflammatory effects and help reduce the clinical symptoms of sick dogs. Dexamethasone, prednisolone, etc. are commonly used, but they must be used in combination with antibiotics.
3. Prevention. There is currently no specific vaccine available in China. If conditions permit, use imported dog six-unit vaccine for immunization. Currently, the "canine kennel cough vaccine" produced by Intway, the "canine kennel cough vaccine" produced by the Netherlands adopts a nose drip method, which can achieve preventive effects without pain. Other preventive measures are similar to general infectious diseases. Special attention should be paid to strengthening feeding management, regular disinfection and quarantine to prevent the invasion of the virus. Once the disease occurs, the sick dog should be isolated as soon as possible. The whole nest should be evacuated appropriately. At the same time, it should be treated in time and environmental disinfection should be carried out.
4. Strengthen care in daily life to keep sick dogs quiet and avoid irritating gases and smoke.
