TermDefinition
Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) / Hard Pad Disease highly contagious virus closely related to human measles virus. Caused by an RNA virus from the family Paramyxoviridae, seen in domestic dogs and ferrets. Spread through the air.
CDV Clinical Signs -fever, ocular/nasal discharge, pneumonia, pustules on abdomen, hyperkeratosis of pads/nose, vomiting, diarrhea, enamel hypoplasia (developing teeth in puppies), seizures (chewing gum and focal seizures.
CDV Treatment -treatment includes (supportive care) IV fluids and antibiotics
Canine Parvovirus Type 2 (CPV-2) highly contagious, causes acute severe gastroenteritis, will not cross species, clinical signs 4-9 days after exposure. Death occurs within 48-72 hours following onset. Very resistant, lives in environment for 1+ years.
CPV-2 Transmission -fecal, fomites, environmental (grass, dirt, trees), shed in feces of infected dog up to 3 days prior and 3 weeks post recovery.
CPV-2 Clinical Signs clinical signs include: acute onset of vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, lethargy. Most common in puppies.
CPV-2 Diagnoses diagnosis includes an in-house ELISA test, laboratory testing can also help.
CPV-2 Treatment treatment includes supportive care to correct electrolyte/fluids, NPO until vomiting stops, antibiotics, antiemetics, analgesics, possibly vitamins.
Susceptible Breeds (CPV) the breeds that are more susceptible to this disease: rottweilers, dobermans, pit bulls, German shepherds, labs.
Canine Adeno Type 1 (CAV-1) / Infectious Canine Hepatitis (ICH) this infects domesticated dogs, wild canids, and bears. Caused by non-enveloped DNA virus from the Adenoviridae family. Incubation period 4-9 days.
CAV-1 Transmission this is spread through urine, feces, saliva, vectors (urine contaminated fomites).
CAV-1 Clinical Signs clinical signs: often seen in dogs <1 years, tonsillitis, fever, icteric issues, urine issues,
CAV-1 Diagnosis diagnosis includes: clinical signs, PE, hx, lab work up, histopath at the necropsy.
CAV-1 Treatment treatment includes: supportive care, broad spectrum antibiotics, blood transfusions
Canine Infectious Tracheobronchitis Kennel Cough any contagious respiratory disease of dogs, includes many viruses, bacteria, or fungi. Will not survive in environment for long.
Kennel Cough Transmission spread through the air, close contact, shelters/boarding facilities/doggy daycare.
Kennel Cough Clinical Signs clinical signs: harsh dry cough, can happen to any age/breed.
Kennel Cough Treatment treatment: self-limiting, cough suppressants, antibiotics if signs worsen.
Leptospirosis a zoonotic bacterial disease of humans and animals, caused by spirochete bacteria, can survive for months in water/soil, incubation is 2-20 days.
Lepto Transmission transmission: infected urine, fomites, can cross placenta and spread through venereal transmission.
Lepto Clinical SIgns CS: can be non-specific. There are 3 phases: acute phase (bacteria is spreading, pain symptoms start showing), convalescent phase (bacteria is clearing, CS's come and go), carrier or chronic phase(bacterium is not eliminated from the body yet).
Lepto Treatment Tx: supportive care targeted at clinical signs and antibiotics (doxy or penicillin).
Canine Influenza Virus (CIV) highly contagious respiratory disease, has no seasonal pattern like the human version. Currently not zoonotic.
Influenza (CIV) Clinical Signs CS: any age/breed at risk, cough, nasal discharge, mild fever, lethargy, anorexia, difficult to differentiate from kennel cough, severe cases lead to pneumonia and high fever (not common).
Influenza (CIV) Treatment Tx: supportive care, IV fluids and antibiotics, NSAIDs for fever/inflammation, good nutrition and husbandry.
