Q

Prognosis with CPvE

A
  • With agressive therpay, 90% can recover
  • Pronosis better for pups that make it through 5 days
  • Younger animals and profoundly leucopenic aniamls, are reported to do worse
  • Imporving lymphocyte and monocyte counts are reported to be favourable prognostic signs
  • All cases are worth ‘giving a go’ if the owner is willing and able

Q

CPvE treatment during recovery

A
  • Offer water/ ice cubes/ 5% glucose by mouth once the vomiting is controlled
  • Offer soft food asap, soon after a taster stays down

Q

What is CPvE prevention

A
  • Understand the ‘window of opportunity/susceptibility’ issue and therefore avoid exposing puppies to virus until one week after their final puppy vaccination at > 16 weeks of age
  • Use modern high-titre, low passage live attenuated vaccine intended for puppies whenever possible

Q

How is parvo virus killed

A
  • Within 20 minutes at room temperature by:
    • House hold bleach
    • 4% formaldehyde

Q

Pathogenesis of CDV

A
  • Urine/ aerosol transmission; oropharyngeal lymphoid tissues; toher lymphoid organs; 10-14 days days PI invaded epithelia and CNS; demyelination, initially without inflammation
  • Many infections may be subclinical or mild

Q

What are the clinical signs of CD

A
  • Severe, generalised distemper is seen in unvaccinated animals; typically puppies 12-16 weeks
  • Conjunctivitis: cough; fever; depression; anorexia; vomiting; diarrhoea
  • 1-3 weeks after recovery from above, see progressive hyperaesthesia, myoclonus, chewing gum seizures

Q

What is seen when animals recover

A
  • Enalmel hypoplasia
  • Cardiomyopathy
  • Pustular dermatitis
  • Hyperkeratosis of foot-pads and nose
  • Retinitis
  • Lymphopenia +/- inclusions, thrombocytopenia, hypoalbuminaemia, hypocalcaemia
23
Q

How to diagnose CD

A
  • Clinical suspicion: characteristic signs in a dog with a poor or uncertain vaccination history
  • Antigen/antibody detection test
  • Nested-PCR and RT-PCR on urine
24
Q

What are the complications of CD

A
  • Old dog encephalitis
  • Rhenumatoid arthritis
  • Metaphyseal oesteopathy
  • Concurrent infections
25
Q

What is the prognosis of CD

A
  • Hinges on presence or absence of neurological signs and their secerity
  • Warn owners that neurological signs may develop in the futrure, even if they are absent whrn you start therapy
26
Q
A
27
Q

What are the treatment options for CD

A
  • Nursing support in a clean, warm, dry, environement
  • Broad spectrum antibiotic therapy +/- nebulisation and coupage of pneumotic
  • Anti-emetic i.v. fluid therapy as needed
  • +/- vit A - children benefit from 2x 200000IU doeses in first 5 days of measles
  • +/- Dexamethasone, anticonvulsants
28
Q

How to prevent CD

A
  • Modified live vaccines provide long-lasting, robust immunity: very occasionally ypu see a vaccine-induced distemper case
  • Vectored vaccines are even safer, but may provide shorter DOI; not 100% sure yet
  • Killed vaccine are less effective; sometimes used in wildlife species
  • Measles virus vaccine designed for dogs used to given to protect very young puppies
29
Q

How to get rid of infectious canine hepatitis

A
  • Steam cleaning and the more powerful disinfectants
  • Virus is excreted in the urine of recovered dogs for at least 6-9 months
30
Q

What is the pathogenesis infectious canine hepatitis

A
  • Direct cytotoxic effects of the virus on hepatocytes and endothelium in liver, kidneys, cornea
  • Immune complex vasculitis, bleeding, DIC
  • Immune complex damage to corneal endothelial cells, exacerbated by complement fixation and leucocyte chemotaxis
31
Q
A
32
Q

What are the clinical signs of infectious canine hepatitis

A
  • Fever
  • Vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain
  • Tonsillar/lymph node enlargement; +/- oedema of the head and neck
  • Haemorrhaging +/- abdominal effusion
  • Not usually icteric
  • These signs last 5-7 days Terminal CNS signs if dog doesnt survive
33
Q

What are the clinical findings of infectious canine hepatitis

A
  • Corneal opacity, blepharospasm, photophobia begin about day 7. Starts peripherally and later resolves from the periphery
  • Occasionally get sudden, early death; loke a poisoning case
34
Q
A
35
Q

How to diagnose infectious canine hepatitis

A
  • Compatible clinical signs in a young, unvaccinated dog
  • Early leucopenia, variably raised liver enzymes
  • Hyperbilirubinuria
  • Abnormal coagulogram
  • Developing corneal opacity
  • Specific test can be done if confirmation is needed
36
Q

How to treat infectious canine hepatitis

A
  • Supportive. The dog has fulminant, acute hepatic failure becuase of hepatocellular necosis; treat it accordingly
  • Fluid therapy
  • Manage DIC
  • Manage hepatic encephalopathy
  • Anticipate possible complications
37
Q

What is the prognosis of dogs with infectious canine hepatitis

A
  • Can and do revocer completely when intensive, thoughtful management is put in place
  • Some cases go onto develop progressive hepatic fibrosis, if the initial damage was too severe
  • Very probably not ture that CAV-1 persistence causes ‘chronic acitve hepatitis’
38
Q

How to prevent infectious canine hepatitis

A
  • Maternal Abs have a half life of 8.6 days
  • Most pups can be successfully immunized at 5-7 weeks of age
  • Modified live CAV-2 vaccines are in widespread use; they are judged safe and effective provoking long-lasting immunity

What are the clinical signs of Canine Infectious Respiratory DIsease

A
  • Sudden-onset of a dry, hacking, paroxysmal cough

A
45

  • +/- Nebulisation
46
Q
A
47
Q

How to prevent Canine Infectious Respiratory DIsease

A

Q

Why does leptospirosis persist even with a vaccine

A

So many different serotypes

49
Q

Explain the pathogenesis of leptospirosis

A
  • Zoonotic
  • Urine-oral
  • Penetrates mucous mb. Goes to kidney, spleen, liver, eye, CNS, genitals
  • Fever, muscle pain, vomiting, dehydration, petechiation, renal failure +/- jaundice
  • Recovered dogs shed in urine for months
  • Cats get exposed, don’t seem to get disease
50
