Since Simba has a post on FUS. Hugh will not be less than is currently about to do the year (May 1, which is a place, but we put it there), his first condition. Toca
post information on the "kennel cough" dog flu, from the point of view of the experience of Hugh.
Hugh started coughing yesterday afternoon in which we had fallen pipicán bike, as he threw the ball a couple of times (and no more, because that is what you do not see sunshine and heat .) I heard a cough and gave me the impression he had been rough because of what it is to catch the ball, always swallow some "tierrecilla" soil. Back home, bike, went very slowly, at a normal pace because Sarah came on our side and no problem or a cough.
But when I got home, Hugh began coughing from time to time (every several hours) and cough lasted him a little while, a couple of dry coughs and arcade, as if something pierced. We continue to believe that perhaps swallowing some tierrecilla, had hurt his throat and was irritated as well, had not consented to drinking water since we returned from the park ...
at bedtime, Hugh was still coughing from time to time, and I told Sara that if the next day went well, take him to go. Indeed, at night and coughed several times this morning, was the same, with each X tosijones time, only well after each cough, effort had arcades.
Concerned, I began to investigate whether it would be this disease that I do not know much about but it sounded: the kennel cough.
In researching and reading a couple of scientific articles about it, I've been married all symptoms.
The kennel cough, is neither more nor less than a cold / flu canine (tracheobronchitis) passed with surprising ease (infectious) from dog to dog through saliva droplets expelled by the dogs cough. Other animals can be carriers (eg cats), but experience the disease asymptomatically, so that Simba, despite their close contact with Hugh (ahem) get rid of suffering.
Obviously, we are not going to suffer (not a zoonosis), we have already experienced our human seasonal colds for XD.
Who causes this canine flu? Well, as always, several viruses (canine parainfluenza virus (CPI) and canine adenovirus type-2 (CAV-2)) and / or a fucking bacteria: Bordetella bronchiseptica
(yes, Bordetella sp , that gender Bitches which species of bacteria Bordetella pertussis is the cause of whooping cough in humans nanos, and, apparently, derived from the Bordetella bronchiseptica ). There is another complicating friend Table, adding to the party: Mycoplasma sp (one without a cell wall baceteria bitch especially in infections).
When the ITB (infectious tracheobronchitis) is caused by a virus, is usually milder and even asymptomatic in the clinical picture. But alas, Perrin, if you who colonized the Bordetella , that malfa Gram-with fimbriae (hair-like appendages) that invade respiratory epithelial cells, the injured with their disgusting toxic and prevents the immune system load (I have a great research article on this and as I'm unemployed, I had a very good learning about it XD).
Como he dicho, entrar en contacto con dichos patógenos (tanto víricos como bacterianos) es sumamente sencillo: basta con realizar una acción o varias a elegir de entre las siguientes:
- Deleitarse vomeronasalmente y a lametazos con un exudado femenino (orina) del suelo que "casualmente" otro macho enfermo o portador, deleitó previamente.
- Relacionarse caninamente con compis peludos (alguno de ellos enfermo o portador) y portarse con educación, dando besitos-señal de calma para apaciguar ánimos y dar a entender que quieres buen rollo y eres inofensivo.
- Compartir juguetes y/o pelotas con los compis del parque (alguno de ellos enfermo o portador).
entrar en antecedentes: we have several weeks to fall (or foot or by bike) to a new dog park that just opened.
Shares which, Hugh made almost every day (at least the first) and several times a week, the second.
As I have read, this disease is just a cold and therefore not of major complication and is usually self-limiting in healthy individuals (if kept idle for two weeks), we, as human colds. It is possible that more complicated if Mycoplasma bacterial infection and makes an appearance and then attends not only to cough, runny nose and watery eyes, but also with fever and low blood soul and may complicate to pneumonia / bronchitis. In such cases, the go often prescribe an antibiotic, a cough and little else.
initially I was going to wait for Sara out of the gigs we had to see if Hugh or not to go, but in the end I decided to take, because to do his business out I saw that blood defecated and am alarmed .
And precisely because I am alarmed that symptom is not a symptom of kennel cough. But a jam stomach / intestinal having eaten something he should not. And could not be sure of my diagnosis and that Hugh had not eaten any piece of toy last night that did not pay much attention as did the shrimp with her toy Orange destroying it, because I did not want to wait any longer and I've taken.
Result: As I feared, traquobronquitis infectious (the differential diagnosis on physical examination is causing the cough reflex, squeezing the throat of the dog in a dog with this disease, causes coughing and wheezing on auscultation to find breathing .) And the blood in the stool, not suit him to the vet.
Surprisingly, I have not had to fight with the go so I would not prescribe the antibiotic amoxicillin-á.clavulánico (which as I read, despite being widely used as a treatment, not so good) and have given me just the I've read it was more effective: doxycycline (a tertraciclina acting against Gram + and Gram-), although he has shoot on Hugh an intramuscular corticosteroids (for inflammation of the throat) when you do not need much and it is normal to codeine (a cough suppressant ), but bueh. For stomach and blood in stool, has given me guard (omeprazole) and soft diet was recommended to me. In addition we have given the deworming pill, it was his turn.
Incidentally, Hugh has dazzled for all veterinary, it is the only dog \u200b\u200bin the neighborhood who LOVES literally go to the vet and his vetes, and gives you prick like, check your teeth and mucous membranes, you mess a thermometer by the ass, introduced in throat lozenges ... he always responds with licks and tail wiggles. And they always want more ... : S
Finally, when we returned home, I found the reason for his unusual symptoms: a huge truño in the room next to the kitchen (the old room of pipis and poop). Apparently, Mr. Hughes, I had this morning a sovereign Lorza doors and as we got up early and I was behind in the morning out at the literature search of information on kennel cough, could not delay it more and Sovereign has made a bowel movement at home. And it's because it's getting hurt himself in the intestines and then, to remove me by force of habit, has tightened over the account to make something of himself intestinal ea, between that and the nerves in the cough and being bad, Equilicuá, there we have the blood in the stool.
So no, you cancel the remainder of canine socialization to which we were going to go on Saturday at the dog park and family visits (as well as bike outings and long walks) to the restoration of our canine friend.
I leave you with a video of Hugh, who does not do justice to what is unwell (this dog we will bury us, lol).
