s*****d 发帖数: 2451 | 1 Ohio最近三周发现了新的狗传染病,症状类似parvovirus,包括呕吐,bloody
diarrhea,精神萎靡。因为没有有效的治疗方法,现在基本上只能用类似parvo的保守
治疗。但是因为不知道传染效率,我们医院这里已经如临大敌,所有都做到生化II以上。
提醒Ohio和周围狗狗家长,出门要小心,最近不要到狗多狗杂的地方去,万一发现类似
症状,及时送医。估计这个会比较快得散播,所以大家出门要小心。
Ohio Department of Agriculture working to identify cause of dog illnesses;
State enlisting help of Ohio veterinarians to identify and combat disease
REYNOLDSBURG -- The Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) is working with
animal health experts to determine the cause and origin of a series of dog
illnesses in the state. The department is also urging veterinarians in the
state to contact the Division of Animal Health if they suspect any animals
in their care are suffering from the same disease.
The department's Division of Animal Health has been taking reports of severe
dog illnesses in several parts of the state for the past three weeks.
Affected dogs have exhibited similar symptoms including vomiting, bloody
diarrhea, weight loss and lethargy. Although there are several known causes
of these symptoms in dogs, it is generally believed that there is an unknown
contributor to the cases.
"While we continue to work diligently to identify what is making these dogs
sick, we are asking Ohio's veterinarians to help by contacting our
laboratory for consultation if they suspect they are treating a related case
," said State Veterinarian Dr. Tony Forshey. Veterinarians can also help by
sharing information on what pet owners should look for and how they can
protect their dogs.
Owners of dogs with similar symptoms should contact their veterinarian
immediately. The department has also recommended concerned dog owners take
standard precautions used to reduce the spread of viral infections,
including monitoring the animal closely for signs of illness and refraining
from co-mingling them with other dogs.
"The most important thing dog owners can do is call their veterinarian if
they have concerns about the health of their pets," Dr. Forshey said. "Your
veterinarian is the best person to help determine if your animal is ill and
what steps should be taken to help them recover."
Canine Circovirus
As part of its investigation, the department also announced the presence of
canine circovirus in a fecal sample taken from an ill dog in the state. This
is the first laboratory detection of canine circovirus in Ohio. Further
work is being done to verify the significance of this finding.
"The laboratory confirmation is important because the virus is newly
isolated; however, we are not prepared at this time to confirm that canine
circovirus is the cause of the dog illnesses," Dr. Forshey said. "Because
the symptoms being exhibited can also be linked to other known illnesses,
additional analysis and information is needed to determine if this virus
alone or in co-infection contributes to illness and death in dogs."
Canine circovirus is newly isolated and there is very little information
available about the virus, where it came from and how it spreads. The
limited research available shows that canine circovirus can cause vasculitis
and hemorrhaging in infected dogs.
ODA will continue to investigate the situation and urges veterinarians who
believe they are treating dogs with similar symptoms to consult the Division
of Animal Health by calling (614) 728-6220. | r*****a 发帖数: 27155 | 2 好吓人。。。
