Dog Flu Preventable By Vaccine

Let to give a brief description of some, but we must take into account that the symptoms of many diseases is very similar, and because the dog the neighbor has had distemper and our dog is cold does not mean that are the same. We should always use the veterinary and ignore the neighbor because "he knows a lot of dogs," the professional is to be advise.

Diseases preventable by vaccines:

Distemper: It is a disease very contagious from dog to dog, and has no risk to people. It spread by direct contact or through the feces and urine of a dog ill. Has three phases, digestive, respiratory and nervous. It often begins by problems with diarrhea and vomiting, usually turn out to be bloody and may persist or be the same While the respiratory, with sneezing, coughing, watery eyes and runny nose. The last phase is usually the nerve, which can also be concurrent the other two, with contractions, tics and even screams in pain. If normally reaches this stage the prognosis is poor, but in any case is a very dangerous disease, which is better safe than sorry.

Parvovirus: The symptoms are very distemper-like in its infancy, but is a disease that presents only with digestive symptoms (at least those who can appreciate the owner, because has many more than the veterinarian will know explain in detail) is i.e, bloody diarrhea and vomiting, which can cause dehydration animal. Most important in case of diarrhea and vomiting is not forcing the animal to take any food, since only succeed cause more vomiting. It is better to leave them without water for a few hours to rest the stomach and if symptoms persist consult your vet.

Viral Hepatitis: Liver involvement, is fortunately much less common and every day is less due to the routine vaccination. It usually causes jaundice (i.e, the animal has a yellowing of the mucous membranes in the mouth, eyes), can also affect the eyes, and produces apathy, are very active animals and not eat well and then tolerate food.

Leptospirosis: The contagion is much less frequent, as often exists in field locations where there are rats and food-producing animals (cows, sheep) who are potential transmitters, through infected water, the dog. It affects the liver and the kidneys, producing hemorrhagic urine (which stains dark colored), iron deficiency and apathy, weakness, fever and lack of appetite and symptoms of congestive kidney, such as drinking and urinating a lot. The problem is that it can infect the man, so it is very important vaccination to prevent it in our pets and avoid risks to human populations.

Coronavirus: There are certain areas of Spain where there is a lot. It is indistinguishable from Parvovirus by symptoms, since both present with vomiting and diarrhea bleeding, but the veterinarian available that can indicate analytical what disease is involved. He is the one who must decide whether to vaccinate our pet, or if the health status of the area is not necessary vaccination.

Kennel cough or tracheobronchitis: It occurs most often in dogs that live in large communities as in hatcheries or stores or kennels, because it is transmitted through the air. It's sort of Dog Flu, which produces hoarse cough and difficult to breathing. It can cause fever and consequently decrease the appetite dog.
