What are the care methods for dogs infected with parvovirus?

Canine parvovirus disease is a highly infectious intestinal disease in dogs, which causes large vomiting, diarrhea (bloody stools), decreased appetite, high fever, massive dehydration, and death of puppies and elderly dogs. If enteritis dogs can be timely and reasonable**, the mortality rate can be significantly reduced. In the early stage of the disease, while applying parvovirus monoclonal antibodies, measures such as cardiotonics, rehydration, antibacterial, anti-shock and enhanced nursing can be carried out, and the rate can be increased.

Fasting and watering to reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines. It won't die of evil, don't give it anything to eat, it will aggravate the dog's condition! During this period, it is maintained by infusion. Plenty of fluids!

Take care to keep the puppy warm and avoid contact with other animals. Nowadays, the dog system is relatively poor, and it is easy to catch a cold or be infected with other diseases.

Dogs are small and need to be fasted and watered after **; Prompt medical attention is also required; And it is necessary to disinfect the environment and items in the home in time to avoid the transmission of bacteria in the dog's body to humans, especially the elderly and children with low immunity.

1. After the dog is infected, it should be sent to the hospital for professional ** as soon as possible, and you must not use drugs indiscriminately;

Second, for dogs with small infections, the survival rate of puppies is not too high, and the survival rate of adult dogs is higher, so I hope you can be psychologically prepared in this regard;

Third, the cost of a small hospital is about 200-300 yuan per day, and it may not be the same in different places, so I hope you don't care about this money, you can treat it as much as possible, after all, it is a life;

Enteritis type:

The symptoms of enteritis type parvovirus are more obvious, if the dog is infected, the dog will have symptoms of high fever, the body temperature is as high as Celsius - Celsius, each dog's symptoms are different, and there will be no fever. Usually at the onset of the disease, the dog is also accompanied by (listlessness, lack of food, diarrhea, vomiting, etc.) and the excrement will turn yellow, gray, and gradually excrete red thin bloody stools, and there will be a pungent foul smell. It can be clearly felt that the dog is getting thinner and thinner, because not only does not eat, but will also be accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, which will lead to a serious lack of water in the dog's body, which will cause the dog's eyes to sink down, and ** also lose the delicacy and luster of the past.

Myocarditis type: myocarditis type of small bacteria usually do not have obvious symptoms, but this consequence is more serious, because it does not show any abnormality on the surface, once it is found, it will miss the best time. It tends to confuse people by feeling that the dog is very healthy from the outside, but if it has an attack, it will have a rapid heartbeat, unsound heart function, irregular heartbeat, heart failure, and then lead to breathing difficulties and death. If the dog is suffering from acute parvovirus, if not in time**, then the dog may lose its life within a day to two days; If it is chronic, it usually lasts for about seven days, and parvovirus is usually diagnosed by the color of the dog's vomit and excrement.

Dogs are infected with small infections, and the early stage is generally gastrointestinal reactions, such as vomiting, diarrhea, and poor appetite. Some owners say their dogs are in good spirits, but this is actually a red flag. Because after the dog infection is small, it is relatively tolerated in the early stage.

Parvovirus destroys the intestinal mucosa and causes immunosuppression during the onset of the disease, which may lead to complications such as intussusception, sepsis, etc. Pancreatitis is also one possibility. The clinical symptoms of pancreatitis in dogs are variable and lack specificity, and the more common ones include:

Vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, depression, dehydration, pain on palpation of the anterior abdomen, diarrhea, fever, weakness, and even shock.

Dogs with parvovirus will have the following three symptoms:

Clause. 1. The dog's feces have become grayish-yellow, or thin water type;

Clause. Second, the vomit has yellow-green mucus, and it will be accompanied by some pink blood;

Clause. 3. After the disease progresses to an advanced stage, the feces will become tomato red, accompanied by some blood.

Gastroenteritis type, usually its natural infection incubation period is about seven to fourteen days, its initial symptoms are fever, the body temperature can be as high as 40 degrees, the dog's mental state is not very good at this time, do not eat, vomit, etc. The initial vomiting will be some food, and the later vomiting will turn into some sticky yellow liquid, and then there will be diarrhea.

In the early stages, parvo will have obvious abnormal mental appetite, as well as severe gastrointestinal symptoms, such as vomiting and diarrhea. Dogs with small infections will have significant bloody diarrhea and a very strong fishy smell in the stool.

Symptoms that occur when a dog is infected with canine parvovirus include enteritis syndrome and myocarditis syndrome. Among them, enteritis syndrome refers to obvious intestinal infection symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and bloody stools in dogs.

If puppies are infected with parvovirus, they are reluctant to eat, feel no strength and often vomit, and diarrhea are all symptoms of parvovirus. And puppies with this symptom will die if they are not treated in time.

vomiting and pulling, pulling non-stop, blood will be pulled in three days, and the fatality rate is particularly high.

If a healthy dog smells the urine and urine of a dog with a minor illness, or has close contact with a sick dog, or if the wind blows the feces and urine of the sick dog, it can cause direct infection. The second is indirect infection, that is, the owner comes into contact with a sick dog, and then comes into contact with a healthy dog without disinfection.

In the early stage of puppy infection, owners can generally see puppies with mild diarrhea symptoms, and then this symptom will gradually become serious, and then the dog will also refuse to eat, vomit, mental condition deteriorates, blood in the stool, low body temperature, etc.

When a dog is infected with parvovirus, the first thing that needs to be done is to fasting the dog from food and water, only feeding the dog saline and drugs to maintain the dog's body functions, and then disinfecting the room and supplies.

Then feed the dog some anti-inflammatory drugs, because the main cause of the dog's fine vomiting is enteritis, feeding anti-inflammatory drugs can relieve the symptoms of the dog's vomiting. It is also possible to feed the dog some drugs that invigorate blood and stop bleeding to prevent the dog from bleeding and pulling bloody stools, and encourage the dog to insist on exercise.

Attention to parvovirus care in dogs.

1. At this time, pet dogs will have the desire to drink water, here I would like to remind everyone that during the ** period, fasting and watering, relying on supplementing body fluids to maintain, drinking water will cause diarrhea again.

2. **In the later stage, you can properly give the pet pin bend dog to drink water, you can give them many times to drink, but don't let the pet dog drink too much at a time.

3. Small pet dog feeding needs to pay attention to the parvovirus mainly hurts the digestive system of pet dogs, especially the gastrointestinal tract, ** should eat easily digestible food in the later stage, Qiao Douhui (such as rice porridge, gastrointestinal prescription food, gastrointestinal prescription canned: prescription food is highly digestible protein, reduces acute intestinal malabsorption, and is beneficial to the recovery of nutrition and health. ) should begin the recovery phase with small, frequent meals.

That is, feed several times a day, and the amount should be less each time.

Pet E Sheng is happy to answer for you: parvovirus can cause puppies to vomit, even bloody stools, and canine distemper can also cause puppies to vomit more than once. What medicine does a nai liang puppy take for vomiting in this situation?

In order to control secondary infection and correct dehydration, the following prescriptions can be used: 5-10% glucose injection 50 ml kg body weight, ampicillin 1 g, vitamin C 100 ml kg body weight, dexamisone 5 mg 1 vial, mixed and intravenously injected with orange injection. Specificity**:

Anti-hexavirus immunoglobulin injection for dogs, Bass injection intramuscularly, 2 times a day; Take orally. Intramuscular injection of canine disease, once a day, for 3 days; Oral administration of 1ml kg, wild mu group once a day, for 3-5 days. The above methods are for reference only, how to take the dog to the pet hospital to follow the doctor's instructions.

As the so-called "three points **, seven points of care", after the symptoms are significantly improved (appetite, stool, body temperature and spirit are basically normal), it is a critical period of nursing, and the breeders often raise the sick dog and the normal dog in the same way, resulting in repeated symptoms of the dog, and eventually causing the death of the dog.

1. Cause analysis.

After the dog's symptoms improve, due to the shedding of the intestinal mucosa, the damage of intestinal capillaries and other injuries still exist, and the general food cannot be digested.

At this time, the intestinal defense function is not perfect, and the normal flora is destroyed in the process of using antibiotics, which is easy to secondary diseases such as E. coli.

Post-care methods for canine parvovirus disease"/>

Second, the right approach.

Establish normal flora: In order to prevent secondary infection and establish normal flora, you can feed probiotics, whole intestines, Livzon intestines, kefigurt, lactobacillus tablets, etc.

Assist in digestion: You can use multi-enzyme tablets, stomach digestion tablets, pepsin, lactase, etc.

Promote intestinal repair: Pulsatilla decoction, gastra, colloidal pectin, omeprazole, etc. can be used.

Eat a nutritious and easily digestible diet, such as minced lean egg yolks, milk, soy flour, kefir, carrot juice, etc. Drink plenty of water and add an appropriate amount of glucose or fresh gravy to the water.

For dogs that completely lose their appetite to be regularly force-fed, in order to reduce the burden on the rib stomach, feeding should be done regularly, quantitatively, eat less and eat more often, it is best to feed the dog with comprehensive nutrition and good digestion in the early stage of recovery, because of the fear of causing diarrhea, so in any case it is forbidden to feed raw milk, raw meat, etc.

Post-care methods for canine parvovirus disease"/>

3. Discussion. In the above nursing process, some drugs can cause constipation after long-term use, so pay attention to adjustment.

When it comes to meat feeding, some caregivers tend to go to two extremes: one is to feed lumpy meat, whole eggs or like a normal dog too early; Second, they are afraid that eating meat will cause diarrhea in dogs, and in the case that some dogs only eat meat and nothing else, they do not feed meat. The right thing to do is:

When a dog has diarrhea, it is best to stop eating for a day and replace fluids with infusions or oral rehydration salts. Feed vegetarian food for the next two days, that is, do not feed meat and synthetic feed, but feed easily digestible foods such as steamed buns, rice porridge, and sour milk. When diarrhea first.

Four or five days, through **, most of the dog's symptoms improved, on the basis of the above care methods, you can feed minced meat, the dosage is half of the average normal dog's daily dosage divided into 3 to 4 feeding.

If not properly cared for, it can cause long-term intestinal injury, long-term chronic diarrhea in dogs, and may cause secondary infection and death of dogs.

The above nursing methods can prevent secondary infection of intestinal diseases in dogs**Intestinal flora imbalance in dogs also has obvious curative effects.

Prevention of parvovirus in dogs.

It is necessary to pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Do a good job of disinfection every day. Parvovirus is very sensitive to some conventional disinfectants, using oxidants, ultraviolet rays or pet disinfectants, etc., can quickly expel canine parvovirus, so you can regularly use pet disinfectant to disinfect the dog, and at the same time disinfect the home environment.

2. Before the puppy is fully immunized, pay attention to take the dog to do a basic physical examination, and then take it home after confirming its health. If your dog is not fully vaccinated, try not to take them outside. If you must take it out, it is best to use a carrying case or flight case to avoid the dog's contact with the outside environment as much as possible.

The juvenile period is the cutest stage of the dog's appearance, but there is often a danger hidden in the beauty, and the dog is infected with infectious diseases such as parvovirus, and the probability of death is also the highest in this period. Among the many canine diseases, canine parvovirus is the most threatening category.

Initial stage

In the early stages of parvovirus infection, the puppy's body temperature rises, but it is not particularly noticeable. At the same time, the dog's mental condition will deteriorate, drowsiness, inactivity, and slow response to the owner's commands. Decreased food intake, diarrhea, and vomiting are also the first symptoms of parvovirus infection in puppies.

Medium-term

Dogs in the middle stage of the disease are basically pulling and vomiting, frequent vomiting and diarrhea. The course of the whole parvovirus is generally about a week, of which the first three days are the initial stage of the disease, and the last four days are the middle and late stages, and the disease is the most serious in this period, and it is also the most critical time to take a dog. If it is not received in time**, the dog's condition is difficult to control, and the mortality rate increases sharply.

Late stage

By the later stages of parvovirus, puppies will stop drinking and eating altogether. As the condition worsens, the dog's body temperature will gradually rise, and it can even reach more than 40 degrees. When the dog has symptoms of blood in the stool and smelly feces, especially when the stool has been completely red, the disease no longer has an obvious effect.

In the early days, the ** rate of puppies getting parvovirus is relatively high, at about 80%, as long as they seek medical attention in time, they can basically get out of danger of life. After entering the middle and late stages, the ** rate of parvovirus is relatively low, only about 40%. Once the puppy is found to have symptoms of suspected parvovirus infection, it must be taken to the doctor for examination as soon as possible, so as not to delay the condition, thereby reducing the ** rate.

It is not recommended to keep the dog at home**, it is best to send it to the doctor as soon as possible and take medication** according to the doctor's advice**. The general principles are antiemetic, antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory, rehydration, antiviral, combined medication, symptomatic and supportive. In addition, it is also necessary to supplement the puppy with nutrients to enhance the body's immunity.

Although parvovirus is highly contagious, it can only be transmitted from dog to dog and cannot be transmitted to humans, so it is important to isolate sick dogs.

For parvovirus, it is more important to focus on daily prevention than timely**. The most effective way to prevent canine parvovirus is vaccination. After a month and a half of birth, puppies can start vaccination, requiring three shots for the first immunization and only one shot per year after that.

At the same time, it is best to clean the indoor environment regularly and disinfect dog supplies.
