The origin of dog tumescence

As the saying goes, dog tumescence refers to: canine parvovirus disease. Canine parvovirus disease is a highly contagious infection of dogs. of severe infectious diseases. Clinically, it is characterized by acute hemorrhagic enteritis and myocarditis. Canine parvovirus is highly contagious to dogs, and dogs of all ages can be infected. However, dogs that have just been weaned to 90 days old are more susceptible to the disease and their condition is more serious. Some puppies may suddenly have difficulty breathing, have heart failure, and may show symptoms of myocarditis within a short period of time and die suddenly. According to the types of clinically affected dogs, purebred dogs and exotic dogs have a higher incidence rate than native breed dogs. This disease can occur throughout the year, but is more common in winter and spring when the weather is cold. The feces of sick dogs contain the highest levels of poison.

Symptoms of dogs turning their intestines

1. According to clinical symptoms, the dog is brown and tomato paste in color with a special fishy smell.

2. Blood phase changes, red blood cells, hemoglobin, and specific volume decreased, and white blood cells were not higher than normal values.

3. Specific diagnosis can finally confirm the diagnosis. At present, the canine parvovirus rapid diagnostic kit developed by the Academy of Military Medical Sciences can make the final determination.

Symptoms of intestinal distension in dogs

Dogs infected with parvovirus can be clinically divided into enteritis type and myocarditis type.

Enteritis type: The incubation period of natural infection is 7-14 days. At the beginning of the disease, the symptoms are fever, body temperature can reach above 40℃, depression, not eating, and vomiting. The early vomitus is food, that is, it is mucus-like and yellow-green. liquid. Diarrhea started one day after the onset of symptoms. At the beginning of the disease, the feces is gruel-like. As the disease progresses, the feces becomes tomato paste color or brown color, fishy smell, the frequency of defecation is variable, and there are symptoms of tenesmus. After bloody stool, sick dogs may show sunken eyeballs, dry nose, general weakness, significant weight loss, pale conjunctiva, and severe anemia symptoms. If the disease is not treated in time, it can cause toxin absorption and poisoning in the intestinal contents, causing the body to go into shock. Coma and death.

Blood phase changes in dogs after intestinal dissection

Reduction in the total number of red blood cells, hemoglobin, specific volume, and leukopenia. The number of white blood cells in sick dogs can be reduced to 60-90% (from 12,000/cubic millimeter in normal dogs to less than 4,000). Early vomiting is food, i.e. mucus, yellow-green, or blood. Diarrhea begins about a day after the onset of illness. At the beginning of the disease, the stools are loose. As the disease progresses, the stool becomes brown or ketchup-colored. Later, as the frequency increases, the body becomes anxious and the weight increases, the blood will have a special smell. Sick dogs develop symptoms of severe dehydration a few hours after passing bloody stools. The eyeballs faded, the nasal cavity became dry, the skin elasticity decreased, and the weight dropped significantly. For severe cases of intestinal bleeding, endotoxin poisoning and disseminated intravascular coagulation can occur due to the corruption of intestinal contents, leading to shock, coma and death. If treated promptly and reasonably, it can be significantly reducedLow mortality from canine enteritis-type canine parvovirus disease.

ps: When dogs turn their intestines, it is actually gastroenteritis, a common disease in summer and autumn. Puppies that are just one month old cannot adapt to cold and hard food and are prone to this disease. To raise a dog well, first feed it softer food for more than two weeks and let it drink potassium permanganate water to prevent enteritis. After one month, feed (avermectin) to fight worms.
