Symptoms of tuberculosis in dogs:

1. The sick dog gradually loses weight, becomes weak, easily fatigued, and coughs.

2. In intestinal tuberculosis, repeated diarrhea occurs and appetite is significantly reduced. Lymphatic tuberculosis is characterized by superficial lymph node enlargement.

3. When the mesenteric lymph nodes become significantly swollen by tuberculosis, digestion can be seriously affected.

4. Skin tuberculosis in dogs mostly occurs in the larynx and neck. The appearance of the lesions is granulation tissue-like ulcers with irregular edges.

Preventive measures for dog tuberculosis:

1. Dogs that need treatment should be treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs under isolation conditions, such as isotoxin 4~8 mg/kg body weight/time, taken orally 2 to 3 times a day; rifampicin 10-20 mg/kg body weight/time, taken 2 to 3 times a day.

2. Dog breeding farms and families raising toy dogs should undergo regular tuberculosis quarantine, and dogs with open tuberculosis should be eliminated immediately. Tuberculin-positive dogs, except for a few rare breeds, should also be eliminated in time and must not be mixed with healthy dogs.

3. Strict disinfection must be carried out on kennels and areas where dogs frequently move. It is strictly prohibited for tuberculosis patients to feed and manage dogs.
