Dog infectious hepatitis is an acute highly contact-infectious septic disease caused by adenovirus type I. It is characterized by hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, circulation disorders, necrosis of the central liver lobular and the appearance of intranuclear inclusion bodies in the liver parenchyma and endothelial cells.
Canal Adenovirus Type I, also known as canine infectious hepatitis virus, belongs to the Adenovirus family, mammalian adenovirus, and double-strand DNA virus. It is mainly transmitted through the digestive tract and can also be transmitted vertically. Infected dogs and poisoned dogs, they detoxify through secretions and excretions such as tears, saliva, feces and urine, pollute the surrounding environment, feed and utensils.
is mainly dog and fox, with no breed, age and gender differences, but it is more common in puppies under 1 year old. The incidence and mortality rates of puppies shortly after weaning are the highest, and adult dogs generally have hidden infections. Recovered dogs can gain lifelong immunity, but the virus can survive in the kidneys and can be detoxified for 6 to 9 months through urine. It is an important source of infection in healthy dogs.
The incubation period of this disease is 6 to 9 days. Some of the most acute puppies have initially increased body temperature and are highly depressed. Usually, there are no other symptoms to make death within 1 to 2 days.
Most people suffer from dog diseases, which are like acute colds at the beginning, have an increase in body temperature, are depressed, have a lack of appetite, and have a little serous or mucous secretion of the eyes and nose, but have no symptoms of cough. Vomiting, jam-like feces or bloody diarrhea are the main symptoms of this disease, and bleeding spots or bleeding spots on the gums are important symptoms of this disease.
The abdomen of many suffering dogs are enlarged, and the chest and abdominal puncture can eliminate a large amount of cool and light red liquid, and sensitive pain when touching the sword-shaped cartilage. Many dogs develop proteinuria. The cornea of some dogs with one or both eyes is cloudy during the recovery period of the disease, and it seems to be covered with a light blue film, which is called "hepatitis blue eyes". After a few days, the cornea turns transparent.
Early high-dose serum of anticanni adenovirus type 1 or 2 were used, while focusing on liver protection and bleeding symptoms. For liver protection measures, hepatitis Ling Injection, inosine injection, VB6, etc. can be tried. Due to insufficient synthesis of coagulation factors in the liver and significantly reduced platelets, the use of conventional hemostatic drugs is often ineffective. It is best to transfusion or plasma in time to supplement coagulation factors and platelets, and at the same time use antiviral drugs, antibacterial drugs, hemostatic drugs, vitamins, etc. for treatment.
