Parasite and Diseases
  • Small Animal CDE

2
Canine Distemper
  • Canine distemper is a contagious, incurable,
    often fatal, multisystemic viral disease that
    affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and
    central nervous systems. Distemper is caused by
    the canine distemper virus (CDV).
  • Early symptoms include fever, loss of appetite,
    and mild eye inflammation that may only last a
    day or two. Symptoms become more serious and
    noticeable as the disease progresses.
  • Widespread vaccination programs have dramatically
    reduced its incidence.

Canine Hepatitis
  • Infectious canine hepatitis (ICH) is a highly
    contagious viral disease affecting the liver and
    other organs, and is caused by Canine Adenovirus
    type 1 (CAV-1). It is spread only among domestic
    dogs and wild dogs such as wolves, coyotes, and
    foxes and is not related to human hepatitis.
    Symptoms range widely, from mild to severe, and
    include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite,
    jaundice, light-colored stool, and stomach
    enlargement.
  • Vaccination against CAV-1 results in protection
    in 95 of puppies twelve weeks old and older. Two
    injections are recommended, the first by ten
    weeks of age and the second by fourteen weeks of
    age, with boosters either every year or every
    three years. Veterinarians vary in their opinions
    of how often boosters should be given.

Feline Aids
ELISA Test used to test for feline aids. Also
confirmed using Western Blot Test. Symptoms
include infections from common scratches,
respiratory problems and wasting.

Symptoms of Feline Leukemia
  • Loss of appetite
  • Slow but progressive weight loss, followed by
    severe wasting late in the disease process
  • Poor coat condition
  • Enlarged lymph nodes
  • Persistent fever
  • Pale gums and other mucus membranes
  • Inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and mouth
    (stomatitis)
  • Infections of the skin, urinary bladder, and
    upper respiratory tract
  • Persistent diarrhea
  • Seizures, behavior changes, and other
    neurological disorders
  • A variety of eye conditions
  • In unspayed female cats, abortion of kittens or
    other reproductive failures

Feline Panleukopenia (Distemper)
  • Affected cats often assume a typical "hunched"
    posture with the head between the forepaws.
    Sometimes the head will hang over a water bowl or
    food dish. They often act as though they would
    like to drink and may even take a lap or two of
    milk or water, but they are unable or reluctant
    to swallow. The hair coat becomes rough and dull
    and there is a loss of elasticity of the skin due
    to the dehydration. The third eyelid (the haw in
    the corner of the eye toward the nose) often
    appears. The abdomen is painful, and touching it
    will elicit a pain response. The lymph nodes in
    the abdomen are enlarged, and the digestive tract
    contains excessive amounts of gas and liquid.
    Cats that are not going to survive develop a
    subnormal temperature, with coma and death
    following in a few hours.

11
Feline Panleukopenia (Distemper)
  • The mortality rate in an outbreak of
    panleukopenia may vary from 25 to 75 percent.
    Acute deaths may occur, with kittens showing no
    warning signs, often causing the owner to suspect
    poisoning. More commonly, deaths occur within the
    first five days of illness in uncomplicated
    cases, or later in cases subsequently complicated
    by other problems. if a cat survives the first
    five days of illness, and secondary complications
    such as bacterial infections or dehydration do
    not develop, then recovery should follow fairly
    rapidly. it usually requires several weeks,
    however, for the animal to regain its lost weight
    and condition.
  • A presumptive diagnosis of feline panleukopenia
    can be made by the veterinarian on the basis of
    the history, the clinical signs, and the presence
    of leukopenia.
  • There are several excellent vaccines available to
    immunize cats against panleukopenia. These
    vaccines are highly effective and produce
    long-lasting immunity. Because panleukopenia is
    an entirely preventable disease, one cannot
    overemphasize the importance of proper
    immunization.

Kennel Cough
  • Kennel cough is most commonly associated with a
    bacterial infection caused by the organism
    Bordetella bronchiseptica. While it is hard to be
    certain in veterinary medicine when discussing
    statistics, it is estimated that 80 to 90 of the
    cases of kennel cough are due to this organism.
    The other 10 to 20 of cases are caused by a
    variety of other infectious agents, most of them
    viral. Kennel cough has been associated with
    parainfluenza virus, adenovirus and canine
    distemper virus as well as the Bordetella
    bacteria.
  • The infection tends to be mild except for a very
    harsh cough that often prompts owners to think
    that their dog "has something caught in his
    throat".
  • In some dogs it can lead to pneumonia or more
    serious signs.
