My Labrador Retriever: A Comprehensive Guide to Raising a Happy and Healthy Companion

By – Rashi Bisaria

Bringing up Masha, my Labrador Retriever

I had always known Labradors or Labs (as they are popularly known) to be the gentlest, most patient, family dogs known to man. Those liquid eyes with emotional appeal, those fat paws, and their friendly temperament make this breed one of the most sought-after in India. I knew this about Labs when we got Masha into our home. At the age of 2 months, she was the cutest thing around the house. After so many years of being with Masha, here’s what I have learned about bringing up a Labrador. There are so many misconceptions and myths surrounding them and pet parents need to know what’s best for this highly docile breed that only brings affection and sunshine into our homes.

Labradors are foodies:

Research published in the journal Cell Metabolism states that Labradors have a genetic modification due to which they love food more than other breeds. Weight control is always a struggle for Labrador owners as these foodies beg for food, scavenge for scraps and have a tendency to put on weight. Weight increase leads to various health issues. Weight control through a healthy diet and exercise is the biggest favour you can bestow on your food-obsessed Labrador.

Emotional beings:

Labradors are sensitive creatures and pick up on the emotions of their pet parents. They are known to be emotionally demanding as well as giving and hence used as therapy dogs in many countries. They are very emotionally attached to their caregivers and can suffer from separation anxiety too. Therefore, they need to be treated with the utmost sensitivity.

They can develop hind leg problem

If you are planning to get a Labrador home, be prepared for possible hind leg issues related to hip dysplasia or arthritis among other joint problems. Some of these problems can be hereditary but get aggravated by weight problems that are not addressed in time. However, these are problems that can be managed through awareness and timely action. It’s important to check with your vet early on, to prevent or manage these issues.

They are social creatures

Labradors are hugely popular and bask in all the attention they get. Being extroverts, they love to socialise, deal delicately with people of all ages and seek attention all the time. They benefit from social activity, which keeps them alert and happy. They end up developing strong bonds of affection with people and do not like being left alone. They like to be around their humans and display a strong need for attention.

They need exercise

Like many other dog breeds, Labs are energetic when they are young and need lots of exercises. However, when forced to live in small flats and lead a sedentary lifestyle, they can get lazy and become obese. Therefore, it’s important to manage their food and exercise right from the start to control their weight issues and keep them alert. It’s imperative to check with a veterinarian about the required amount of exercise for your Labrador according to his age, weight and temperament.

Labradors are lovable family dogs and need to be treated like family when being cared for. When bringing up these affectionate creatures it’s critical to have complete knowledge about the breed and its requirements.

How To Celebrate A Safe Holi With Your Pets

By – Sakshi Makkar

Holi, the festival of colors, is a time for joy and celebration. It’s a time to spend with friends and family, and make memories that will last a lifetime. However, Holi can also be a chaotic and noisy time, with fireworks, loud music, and revelers roaming the streets. To ensure that your pets are protected from getting lost or injured, it’s best to keep them indoors in a quiet and secure place where they feel safe. While you’re enjoying the festivities, make sure to provide them with plenty of water and shade, and keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t get into any trouble. To include your pets in the celebration, you can try using pet-friendly colors made from natural ingredients like flower petals or spices, or simply spend quality time with them. Whether it’s playing with their favorite toy or taking them for a walk in a quiet park, they’ll love to be included in the fun. So this Holi, let’s make sure that our furry friends are a part of the celebration and have a memorable time together.

Holi, also known as the “Festival of Colors,” is a popular Hindu holiday celebrated in India and around the world. This joyful festival is a time for people to come together and spread happiness by playing with colors and sweets. But what about our furry friends? Can we celebrate Holi with pets too? The answer is yes! Here are some tips for celebrating Holi with your pets safely and happily. Holi is a colorful and joyous festival that is celebrated by many people in India and around the world. While it can be a lot of fun for humans, it is important to keep in mind that pets may not enjoy the experience as much. 

Here are a few tips for celebrating Holi with pets:

  1. Keep your pets indoors: Holi can be a stressful time for pets with all the loud noises and unfamiliar people around. To keep them calm and safe, it’s best to keep them indoors where they can feel safe and secure.
  2. Avoid using harsh chemicals: Holicolors are often made with harmful chemicals that can be toxic to pets if ingested. Instead, use natural colors made from flower petals or spices like turmeric, which are safe for both humans and pets.
  3. Protect their skin: Just like our skin, pets’ skin can also be affected by colors. To protect their skin, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the fur around their eyes, ears, and nose.
  4. Provide plenty of water: Holi is celebrated during the warm spring months, and it’s important to keep your pets hydrated. Provide them with plenty of water and make sure they have access to shade.
  5. Avoid feeding them sweets: Sweets are a staple of Holi celebrations, but many are not safe for pets. Avoid feeding your pets any sweets or sugary treats, and stick to their regular diet.
  6. Keep an eye on them: Holi can be a busy time, with lots of people and activities going on. Keep a close eye on your pets to make sure they don’t get lost or injured.

    3. Spend time with their humans: Pets are social creatures and love spending time with their humans. Holi is a great opportunity for you to bond with your pet by giving them extra attention, playtime, and cuddles.
    4. Take a walk or play in the garden: If your pet enjoys being outdoors, take them for a walk in a quiet park or let them play in your garden. Avoid exposing them to the Holi festivities, as the crowds and loud noises can be overwhelming.
    5. Enjoy some special treats: Treat your pet to something special, like a new toy or a special treat. This is a great way to show them that you appreciate their company and love them.
    6. Relax and nap: If your pet is more of a homebody, let them relax and nap while you celebrate Holi. Some pets may enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the chance to recharge.
Ultimately, the best way to determine what your pet wants to do on Holi is to observe their behavior and reactions. Pay attention to their body language, vocalizations, and overall mood, and respond accordingly to ensure they have a happy and comfortable experience.

दूध उत्पादन : दूध के बारे में कुछ रोचक तथ्य

दूध को स्वस्थ मवेशियों को दुहने की प्रक्रिया के माध्यम से प्राप्त कोलोस्ट्रम के अलावा एक लैक्टियल स्राव के रूप में परिभाषित किया गया है। दूध आमतौर पर स्तनधारियों से प्राप्त किया जाता है और जानवरों के इस समूह की विशेषता है जिसमें मनुष्य भी शामिल हैं। दूध आम तौर पर पौष्टिक होता है क्योंकि यह बच्चों को पोषण प्रदान करता है क्योंकि किसी भी पशु प्रजाति के युवा खुद के लिए लड़ने में असमर्थ होते हैं।

    1. दूध को संपूर्ण भोजन या संपूर्ण भोजन या दूसरे शब्दों में संपूर्ण भोजन माना गया है क्योंकि इसमें दूध प्रोटीन, खनिज, विटामिन और वसा की अच्छी मात्रा होने के कारण सामान्य खाद्य पदार्थों की सभी अच्छाई और समृद्धि है।
    2. दूध में कैल्शियम होता है जो कि आवश्यक पोषक तत्व है, विशेष रूप से विकास की अवधि के दौरान महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि हड्डियों का विकास सीधे कैल्शियम-फास्फोरस के स्तर से जुड़ा होता है।
    3. हड्डियों के अलावा, कोशिकाओं, नसों और मांसपेशियों के अंदर सूक्ष्म स्तर पर कई सेलुलर घटनाओं में कैल्शियम की बहुत बड़ी भूमिका होती है।
    4. दूध में कुछ जरूरी विटामिन भी होते हैं जैसे राइबोफ्लेविन, विटामिन बी12, विटामिन ए।
    5. इसके अलावा, दूध खनिजों का एक समृद्ध भंडार है, जैसे कि कैल्शियम, जैसा कि पहले उल्लेख किया गया है, फास्फोरस, मैग्नीशियम, पोटेशियम, जस्ता, जिनकी हमारी कोशिकाओं और शरीर प्रणालियों के अंदर अपनी विशिष्ट भूमिका होती है।
    6. दूध कैसिइन, दूध लिपिड या वसा जैसे प्रोटीन से भी भरपूर होता है, इसमें दूध के ठोस पदार्थ और लैक्टोज चीनी भी होती है जो ऊर्जा निर्माण के लिए आवश्यक है।

भारत में गायों में दूध उत्पादन कैसे बढ़ाया जाए

दूध की उपज: कारक और तथ्य

दूध की उपज को प्रति वर्ष प्रति गाय प्रति वर्ष प्राप्त होने वाले दूध की मात्रा के रूप में परिभाषित किया जाता है और आमतौर पर उस मवेशी की दूध देने की क्षमता का एक अच्छा संकेतक होता है। दूध की उपज आमतौर पर कई कारकों पर निर्भर करती है जिनमें से कुछ हैं:

    1. नस्ल-
      ऐसा कहा जाता है कि विदेशी नस्ल की गायें देशी नस्लों की तुलना में अधिक मात्रा में दूध देती हैं लेकिन इस विचार को हाल के दिनों में चुनौती दी गई है क्योंकि देशी गाय की नस्ल गिर ने अपने विदेशी समकक्षों की तुलना में अधिक दूध देने का प्रदर्शन किया है। हाँ, नस्ल की दूध उत्पादन क्षमता में शत % में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाती है।
    2. भोजन और पानी –
      दैनिक भोजन-पानी के सेवन में कोई कमी या अचानक परिवर्तन दूध की उपज में नकारात्मक विचलन की ओर संकेत करता है क्योंकि दूध की उपज भोजन-पानी के सेवन पर निर्भर है। यह ध्यान रखना महत्वपूर्ण है कि औसत दूध उत्पादन न केवल भोजन सेवन के मात्रात्मक आधार से संबंधित है बल्कि भोजन सेवन के गुणात्मक कारकों पर भी निर्भर करता है। भोजन की मात्रा की तुलना में भोजन की गुणवत्ता अधिक होती है। उच्च गुणवत्ता वाला चारा दूध की पैदावार बढ़ाने में सिद्ध हुआ है। मवेशियों को दूध पिलाने से लैक्टोज% में गिरावट आती है और दूध के पोषण मूल्य में भी कमी आ सकती है।
    3. आनुवंशिक परिवर्तन –
      अब, नस्ल के अंतर के बावजूद, एक वैयक्तिकता कारक है जिसका अर्थ है कि कोई भी दो गाय/भैंस दूध देने और दूध देने के मौसम में एक ही समय में समान स्तर पर नहीं होंगे। हां, उनकी दूध की उपज समान हो सकती है लेकिन कोई भी दो अंगुलियां समान नहीं होती हैं, और यह बात दो मवेशियों के दूध उत्पादन पर भी लागू होती है! भले ही वे एक ही नस्ल के हों, यह सब आनुवंशिक विविधताओं और जीनों के कारण है।
    4. दुग्ध कारक –
      दुग्ध उत्पादन बढ़ता है क्योंकि दुग्धस्रवण बढ़ता है और दुग्धस्रवण के मध्य अपने चरम स्तर तक पहुंच जाता है और फिर बाद में दुग्धस्रवण के अंत की ओर गिर जाता है। गर्भावस्था का भी उपज पर निरोधात्मक प्रभाव पड़ता है, दूध देने की आवृत्ति, दूध देने का अंतराल और दूध देने की पूर्णता, सभी दूध की उपज और उसके उतार-चढ़ाव में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाते हैं।
    5. पर्यावरण और तनाव कारक –
      पर्यावरण में अचानक परिवर्तन, स्थान परिवर्तन, परिवहन ने दूध की उपज पर नकारात्मक प्रभाव डाला है। साथ ही, वायुमंडलीय तापमान में मामूली बदलाव और उतार-चढ़ाव का दूध की पैदावार पर सीधा नकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ता है।
    6. रोग –
      यदि मवेशियों को प्रभावित करने वाली कोई अंतर्निहित समवर्ती बीमारियाँ हैं तो यह अनिवार्य रूप से दूध की पैदावार को प्रभावित करेगी। कीटोसिस, मेट्राइटिस, मास्टिटिस, दुग्ध ज्वर, हाइपोकैल्सीमिया, प्रतिधारित प्लेसेंटा आदि जैसी रोग स्थितियों से दूध की उपज कम हो जाती है और गाय के समग्र स्वास्थ्य पर समग्र नकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ता है।

दुग्ध उत्पादन को नियंत्रित करने वाले आंतरिक कारक।

दूध का उत्पादन स्तनधारियों की स्तन ग्रंथियों द्वारा किया जाता है, जैसा कि पहले उल्लेख किया गया है, लेकिन इसके पीछे एक जटिल तंत्र है। हमारे शरीर में कुछ ऐसे रसायन होते हैं जिन्हें हार्मोन कहा जाता है जो शरीर के अंदर होने वाली लगभग सभी घटनाओं को संतुलित करते हैं। वे विभिन्न प्रक्रियाओं और चक्रों को विनियमित करने में भी महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाते हैं जो एक व्यक्ति को स्वस्थ और संतुलित रखने में मदद करता है। यह ध्यान रखना दिलचस्प है कि ये हार्मोन बाहरी कारकों से जुड़े हुए हैं, और यह दृढ़ता से कहा जा सकता है कि आंतरिक और बाहरी कारक सह-निर्भर संस्थाएं हैं और एक दूसरे से अलग नहीं हैं। दूध की उपज को नियंत्रित करने वाले बाहरी और आंतरिक कारक और संबंधित कारक एक ही सिक्के के दो पहलू हैं! हार्मोन के बारे में कुछ रोचक तथ्य इस प्रकार हैं –

  1. हार्मोन वृद्धि हार्मोन के माध्यम से शरीर के विकास को नियंत्रित करते हैं
  2. वे जनन कार्यों में सहायता करते हैं, गर्भाधान से लेकर प्रसव [जन्म देने] तक भी, वे स्तनपान कराने में सहायता करते हैं [नवजात शिशु को दुहना]
  3. थायराइड हार्मोन आदि के माध्यम से चयापचय को विनियमित करने में हार्मोन महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाते हैं
  4. वास्तव में, हमारे सभी अंग, ऊतक और कोशिकाएं अनिवार्य रूप से हार्मोनल सामंजस्य पर निर्भर हैं। इस प्रकार हार्मोन हमारे शरीर को सामान्य रूप से कार्य करने में मदद करते हैं, ठीक से अन्य हार्मोन के साथ सही मिलन में।
  5. वे विभिन्न शरीर प्रणालियों में भी सहायता करते हैं जैसे: पाचन तंत्र, प्रतिरक्षा प्रणाली, मूत्र प्रणाली, हृदय प्रणाली, श्वसन और कंकाल प्रणाली।

हार्मोनल सद्भाव

दुग्ध उत्पादन के कई पहलू हैं। यह एक प्रक्रिया है जो हार्मोनल कारकों, पोषण संबंधी कारकों और न्यूरो-फिजियोलॉजिकल कारकों के परस्पर क्रिया पर निर्भर है। लैक्टेशन प्रक्रिया आमतौर पर गैलेक्टोपोएटिक [दूध उत्पादक] पदार्थों या गैलेक्टोपोएटिक हार्मोन जैसे प्रोलैक्टिन, ग्रोथ हार्मोन, थायरॉइड हार्मोन और स्टेरॉयड हार्मोन पर निर्भर होती है।

  1. प्रोलैक्टिन
    यह प्राथमिक हार्मोन है जो दूध उत्पादन के लिए आवश्यक है। हर बार जब दूध निकाला जाता है, तो यह हार्मोन अधिक दूध पैदा करने के लिए उत्तेजित हो जाता है। यह लगभग एक बैलेंसर के रूप में कार्य करता है जो एक ओर से निकाले गए दूध पर प्रतिक्रिया करता है और दूसरी ओर दूध के उत्पादन को उत्तेजित करता है।
  2. ग्रोथ हार्मोन
    यह हार्मोन लैक्टेशन को बनाए रखने के लिए आवश्यक है क्योंकि यह स्तन ग्रंथियों में लैक्टोज, प्रोटीन, वसा के संश्लेषण को बढ़ाता है।
  3. थायराइड हार्मोन
    थायराइड हार्मोन ऑक्सीजन की खपत, प्रोटीन संश्लेषण और दूध की उपज को प्रोत्साहित करते हैं और दूध के अधिकतम और इष्टतम उत्पादन के लिए आवश्यक हैं।
  4. ऑक्सीटोसिन
    दूध निकालने या कम करने के लिए ऑक्सीटोसिन हार्मोन आवश्यक है। दूध कम करने के लिए बछड़े के चूसने वाले पलटा के माध्यम से स्तन ग्रंथि की उत्तेजना महत्वपूर्ण है। ऑक्सीटोसिन हाइपोथैलेमस से निकलता है और रक्त प्रवाह के माध्यम से स्तन ग्रंथि तक पहुंचता है जिसके परिणामस्वरूप अंततः ग्रंथियों से दूध निकल जाता है।

दूध उपज-
इस प्रकार, दूध की उपज बाहरी पर्यावरणीय कारकों के साथ-साथ आंतरिक हार्मोनल और आनुवंशिक परस्पर क्रिया पर निर्भर करती है। दूध की पैदावार बढ़ाने के लिए कई नए तरीके हैं क्योंकि हम प्राकृतिक प्रणाली को लक्षित करते हैं और दूध उत्पादन को प्रोत्साहित करते हैं।

  1. आहार ठीक करें
    आहार प्रतिरक्षा और स्वास्थ्य को संशोधित करने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाता है, इस प्रकार आहार में कुछ छोटे बदलाव मदद कर सकते हैं। अच्छी तरह से खिलाई गई गायों की प्रजनन क्षमता अधिक होती है और गर्भाधान दर में सुधार होता है और बदले में खराब गुणवत्ता वाले चारे वाली गायों की तुलना में बेहतर दूध की पैदावार होती है। अच्छी मात्रा में कार्बोहाइड्रेट, वसा, आवश्यक फैटी एसिड, आयरन जैसे आवश्यक खनिज आदि महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाते हैं। मवेशियों का प्रजनन स्वास्थ्य।
  2. हार्मोनल थेरेपी-
    रोगी के संतुलन और चक्रीयता को नियंत्रित रखने के लिए हार्मोन इंजेक्शन या उपचार अपनाए जाते हैं। आमतौर पर इसकी सलाह नहीं दी जाती है क्योंकि हार्मोन शरीर का बहुत महत्वपूर्ण पहलू हैं और विभिन्न जीवन प्रक्रियाओं के लिए अत्यंत आवश्यक हैं। उनकी सांद्रता में मामूली बदलाव या असंतुलन नकारात्मक रूप से उलटा पड़ सकता है। यह ध्यान रखना महत्वपूर्ण है कि हार्मोनल थेरेपी को पशु चिकित्सक के मार्गदर्शन में ही शुरू या बंद या विनियमित किया जाना चाहिए क्योंकि ये हार्मोन प्रजनन स्वास्थ्य के साथ-साथ शरीर की विभिन्न प्रणालियों को प्रभावित करते हैं और इस प्रकार दूध देने, दूध देने और गाय/भैंस के समग्र स्वास्थ्य को प्रभावित करते हैं। .
  3. गैर-हार्मोनल थेरेपी: होम्योपैथिक दृष्टिकोण

    मिल्कोजन गायों और भैंसों में स्वाभाविक रूप से दूध की पैदावार बढ़ाने के लिए इस्तेमाल की जाने वाली एक उत्कृष्ट होम्योपैथिक पशु चिकित्सा दवा है। यह ऑक्सीटोसिन हार्मोन का एक प्राकृतिक प्रतिस्थापक है, बिना किसी मतभेद या दुष्प्रभाव के, लेकिन दूध की पैदावार में निश्चित वृद्धि के साथ। यह दूध की मात्रा और दूध के वसा प्रतिशत को पशु की पूरी क्षमता तक बढ़ा देता है।

  1. मिल्कोजन गायों और भैंसों में स्तनपान कराने वाली नलिकाओं को अधिकतम स्तर तक उत्तेजित करके स्वाभाविक रूप से दूध की मात्रा बढ़ाता है।
  2. मिल्कोजन का उपयोग किया जा रहा है, अतिरिक्त कैल्शियम पूरकता की कोई आवश्यकता नहीं है क्योंकि यह दवा पशु के आहार से उच्च स्तर तक कैल्शियम को आत्मसात करती है।
  3. मिल्कोजन कोर्स पूरा होने के बाद भी लंबे समय तक दूध में वृद्धि का स्तर बना रहता है।
  4. किसी अंतर्निहित पुरानी बीमारी के कारण दूध की उपज में कमी को भी मिल्कोजन के साथ सुधारा जा सकता है और इस प्रकार सामान्य दूध की उपज को बहाल किया जा सकता है।
  5. जब बछड़ा मर जाता है और जानवर दूध देने से इंकार कर देता है तो मिल्कोजन बिना किसी हार्मोनल थेरेपी के दूध छोड़ने में मदद करता है।
  6. इस प्रकार मिल्कोजन गायों और भैंसों के दूध की गुणवत्ता और मात्रा में सुधार करने का सबसे किफायती और कुशल तरीका है।

मादा पशुओं में थनैला रोग और होम्योपैथिक पशु चिकित्सा

गोजातीय थनैला रोग शारीरिक आघात या सूक्ष्मजीवों के संक्रमण के कारण उदर ऊतक की लगातार, भड़काऊ प्रतिक्रिया है थनैला रोग, एक संभावित घातक स्तन ग्रंथि संक्रमण, संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका और दुनिया भर में डेयरी मवेशियों में सबसे आम बीमारी है। यह डेयरी उद्योग के लिए सबसे महंगी बीमारी भी है। 

थनैला रोग से पीड़ित गायों के दूध में दैहिक कोशिका की संख्या में वृद्धि होती है थनैला रोग की रोकथाम और नियंत्रण के लिए गाय के बाड़े की सुविधाओं को साफ करने, दूध देने की उचित प्रक्रिया और संक्रमित जानवरों को अलग करने में निरंतरता की आवश्यकता होती है। रोग का उपचार आमतौर पर सल्फर दवा के संयोजन में पेनिसिलिन इंजेक्शन द्वारा किया जाता है।

थनैला रोग क्या है?

थनैला रोग दूध-स्रावित ऊतकों या केवल स्तन ग्रंथि की सूजन को संदर्भित करता है। थनैला रोग तब होता है , जब आमतौर पर थन की नली पर आक्रमण करने वाले बैक्टीरिया या कभी-कभी रासायनिक, यांत्रिक, या ऊदबिलाव पर थर्मल आघात के जवाब में जब सफेद रक्त कोशिकाओं (ल्यूकोसाइट्स) को स्तन ग्रंथि में छोड़ दिया जाता है। बैक्टीरिया द्वारा छोड़े गए विषाक्त पदार्थों के कारण स्तन ग्रंथि में दूध-स्रावित ऊतक और विभिन्न नलिकाएं क्षतिग्रस्त हो जाती हैं, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप दूध की उपज और गुणवत्ता कम हो जाती है।

मवेशियों में मैस्टाईटीस की पहचान कैसे करें?

इस रोग की पहचान थन में असामान्यताओं जैसे सूजन, गर्मी, लाली, कठोरता, या दर्द (यदि यह नैदानिक है) द्वारा की जा सकती है। मैस्टाईटीस के अन्य संकेत दूध में असामान्यताएं हो सकते हैं जैसे कि पानी का दिखना, गुच्छे या थक्के। उप-नैदानिक मैस्टाईटीस से संक्रमित होने पर, एक गाय दूध में या थन पर संक्रमण या असामान्यताओं के कोई लक्षण नहीं दिखाती है।

मैस्टाईटीस पैदा करने वाले बैक्टीरिया

मास्टिटिस पैदा करने के लिए जाने जाने वाले बैक्टीरिया में शामिल हैं:

    1. स्यूडोमोनास एरुगिनोसा
    2. स्टाफीलोकोकस ऑरीअस
    3. स्ट्रेप्टोकोकस एपिडर्मिडिस
    4. स्ट्रेप्टोकोकस एग्लैक्टिया
    5. स्ट्रेप्टोकोकस यूबेरिस
    6. ब्रुसेला मेलिटेंसिस
    7. कोरीनेबैक्टीरियम बोविस
    8. माइकोप्लाज़्मा (माइकोप्लाज़्मा बोविस सहित)
    9. एस्चेरिचिया कोलाई (कोलाई)
    10. क्लेबसिएला निमोनिया
    11. क्लेबसिएला ऑक्सीटोका
    12. एंटरोबैक्टर एरोजेन्स
    13. पास्चरेला
    14. ट्रूपेरेला पाइोजेन्स (पहले आर्केनोबैक्टीरियम पाइोजेन्स)

रूप बदलनेवाला प्राणी

  1. प्रोटोथेका ज़ोप्फी (एक्लोरोफिलिक शैवाल)
  2. प्रोटोथेका विकरहैमी (अक्लोरोफिलिक शैवाल)

इन जीवाणुओं को मोड और संचरण के स्रोत के आधार पर पर्यावरण या संक्रामक के रूप में वर्गीकृत किया जा सकता है।

मवेशियों में मैस्टाईटीस के प्रकार

मैस्टाईटीस को दो अलग-अलग मानदंडों के अनुसार वर्गीकृत किया जा सकता है: या तो नैदानिक लक्षणों के अनुसार या संचरण के तरीके के आधार पर।

क्लीनिकल लक्षण-

क्लीनिकल मैस्टाईटीस
सब क्लीनिकल मैस्टाईटीस
एक्यूट मैस्टाईटीस
सब एक्यूट मैस्टाईटीस
प्री एक्यूट मैस्टाईटीस
क्रोनिक मैस्टाईटीस

संचरण की विधा-

संक्रामक मैस्टाईटीस
पर्यावरणीय मैस्टाईटीस

हस्तांतरण-

थनैला रोग अक्सर दूध देने वाली मशीन के साथ बार-बार संपर्क और दूषित हाथों या सामग्रियों के माध्यम से फैलता है।

एक अन्य मार्ग बछड़ों के बीच मौखिक-से थन संचरण के माध्यम से होता है। बछड़ों को दूध पिलाने से बछड़े की मौखिक गुहा में कुछ मैस्टाईटीस पैदा करने वाले बैक्टीरिया का तनाव हो सकता है, जहां यह तब तक निष्क्रिय रहेगा जब तक कि यह कहीं और प्रसारित न हो जाए। चूंकि समूहीकृत बछड़े दूध पिलाने को प्रोत्साहित करना पसंद करते हैं, वे बैक्टीरिया को अपने साथी बछड़ों के थन के ऊतकों तक पहुंचाएंगे। जब तक बछड़ा बढ़ता है तब तक बैक्टीरिया ऊदर के ऊतकों में निष्क्रिय रहता है। तभी बैक्टीरिया सक्रिय होता है और मैस्टाईटीस का कारण बनता है। यह संचरण के इस मार्ग को रोकने के लिए सख्त बछड़ा प्रबंधन प्रथाओं का आह्वान करता है।

दूध की संरचना पर प्रभाव-

मैस्टाईटीस पोटेशियम में गिरावट और लैक्टोफेरिन में वृद्धि का कारण बन सकता है। इसके परिणामस्वरूप दूध में प्रमुख प्रोटीन कैसिइन की कमी हो जाती है। चूंकि दूध में अधिकांश कैल्शियम कैसिइन से जुड़ा होता है, कैसिइन संश्लेषण के विघटन से दूध में कैल्शियम कम हो जाता है। प्रसंस्करण और भंडारण के दौरान दुग्ध प्रोटीन में और गिरावट आती रहती है। मैस्टाईटीस वाली गायों के दूध में भी दैहिक कोशिका की संख्या अधिक होती है। सामान्यतया, दैहिक कोशिका की संख्या जितनी अधिक होगी, दूध की गुणवत्ता उतनी ही कम होगी।

ई.कोली मैस्टाईटीस (बाएं) में थन से सीरस निकलता है और एक स्वस्थ गाय (दाएं) से सामान्य दूध निकलता है।

खोज-

मैस्टाईटीस से प्रभावित मवेशियों को सूजन और सूजन के लिए थन की जांच करके या दूध की स्थिरता को देखकर पता लगाया जा सकता है, जो अक्सर गाय के संक्रमित होने पर थक्का विकसित करता है या रंग बदलता है।

कैलिफ़ोर्निया मैस्टाईटीस पता लगाने का एक अन्य तरीका टेस्ट है, जिसे दूध की दैहिक कोशिकाओं की संख्या को मापने के लिए डिज़ाइन किया गया है, जो कि थन की सूजन और संक्रमण का पता लगाने के लिए एक साधन के रूप में है।

नियंत्रण-

अच्छा पोषण, उचित दूध देने वाली स्वच्छता, और लंबे समय से संक्रमित गायों को मारने जैसी प्रथाओं से मदद मिल सकती है। गायों के साफ, सूखे बिस्तर सुनिश्चित करने से संक्रमण और संचरण का खतरा कम हो जाता है। डेयरी कर्मियों को दूध दुहते समय रबर के दस्ताने पहनने चाहिए और संचरण की घटनाओं को कम करने के लिए मशीनों को नियमित रूप से साफ करना चाहिए।

निवारण-

एक अच्छा दूध देने की दिनचर्या महत्वपूर्ण है। इसमें आम तौर पर प्री-मिल्किंग टीट डिप या स्प्रे लगाना शामिल होता है, जैसे कि आयोडीन स्प्रे, और दूध निकालने से पहले टीट्स को पोंछना। इसके बाद मिल्किंग मशीन लगाई जाती है। दूध दुहने के बाद, बैक्टीरिया के विकास के किसी भी माध्यम को हटाने के लिए निप्पल को फिर से साफ किया जा सकता है। दूध दुहने के बाद के उत्पाद जैसे आयोडीन-प्रोपलीन ग्लाइकोल डिप का उपयोग कीटाणुनाशक के रूप में किया जाता है और खुली चूची और हवा में बैक्टीरिया के बीच एक अवरोध होता है। दूध दुहने के बाद मैस्टाईटीस हो सकता है क्योंकि अगर जानवर मल और मूत्र के साथ गंदे स्थान पर बैठता है तो थन के छेद 15 मिनट के बाद बंद हो जाते हैं।

थनैला रोग, एक संभावित घातक स्तन ग्रंथि संक्रमण, संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका और दुनिया भर में डेयरी मवेशियों में सबसे आम बीमारी है। यह डेयरी उद्योग के लिए सबसे महंगी बीमारी भी है। थनैला रोग से पीड़ित गायों के दूध में दैहिक कोशिका की संख्या में वृद्धि होती है थनैला रोग की रोकथाम और नियंत्रण के लिए गाय के बाड़े की सुविधाओं को साफ करने, दूध देने की उचित प्रक्रिया और संक्रमित जानवरों को अलग करने में निरंतरता की आवश्यकता होती है। रोग का उपचार आमतौर पर सल्फर दवा के संयोजन में पेनिसिलिन इंजेक्शन द्वारा किया जाता है।

थनैला रोग क्या है?

थनैला रोग दूध-स्रावित ऊतकों या केवल स्तन ग्रंथि की सूजन को संदर्भित करता है। थनैला रोग तब होता है , जब आमतौर पर थन की नली पर आक्रमण करने वाले बैक्टीरिया या कभी-कभी रासायनिक, यांत्रिक, या ऊदबिलाव पर थर्मल आघात के जवाब में जब सफेद रक्त कोशिकाओं (ल्यूकोसाइट्स) को स्तन ग्रंथि में छोड़ दिया जाता है। बैक्टीरिया द्वारा छोड़े गए विषाक्त पदार्थों के कारण स्तन ग्रंथि में दूध-स्रावित ऊतक और विभिन्न नलिकाएं क्षतिग्रस्त हो जाती हैं, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप दूध की उपज और गुणवत्ता कम हो जाती है।

मवेशियों में मैस्टाईटीस की पहचान कैसे करें?

इस रोग की पहचान थन में असामान्यताओं जैसे सूजन, गर्मी, लाली, कठोरता, या दर्द (यदि यह नैदानिक है) द्वारा की जा सकती है। मैस्टाईटीस के अन्य संकेत दूध में असामान्यताएं हो सकते हैं जैसे कि पानी का दिखना, गुच्छे या थक्के। उप-नैदानिक मैस्टाईटीस से संक्रमित होने पर, एक गाय दूध में या थन पर संक्रमण या असामान्यताओं के कोई लक्षण नहीं दिखाती है।

Yeast Infection in Dogs: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Yeast infections in dogs can develop on their skin or in their ears when there is an abnormal overproduction of the yeast that is normally found on your pet’s skin. Yeast is a natural spore-producing fungus that doesn’t generally cause illness unless there is too much of it.

Yeast infections can also be called Malassezia dermatitis or yeast dermatitis, and they usually occur in a dog’s ears, between its paw pads, or in its skin folds. A yeast infection can make the affected area of your dog’s skin red, itchy, and irritated. Yeast infections in a dog’s ear can lead to deafness if left untreated for a long time.

If your dog is tilting their head, scratching their ears, licking their paws, or has a musty odor, it might have a yeast infection. A yeast infection is common in dogs whose immune systems have been compromised by medications. It can often occur during allergy seasons, especially in dogs who are taking antibiotics or steroids. Antibiotics do not cause this infection, but being on antibiotics for a long period can diminish the dog’s normal flora, which helps to keep yeast under control. Steroids also affect the dog’s immunity, which can result in an overgrowth of yeast.

Clinical signs of yeast infection in dogs:

The most common clinical signs of a yeast infection in dogs are:

  • itching and redness
  • musty odour
  • scales and crusty, flaky skin
  • Thickened skin (‘elephant skin’).
  • hyperpigmentation (darkly pigmented skin)
  • Chronic or recurrent otitis externa or ear infections

Yeast infections in dogs are caused by the following factors:

There are innumerable bacteria and fungi on the skin. Under normal conditions, these organisms do not cause any problems and are controlled by the immune system. If skin conditions change or the immune system is compromised, these bacteria and fungi can cause infection. These types of infections are termed “opportunistic infections.” A yeast skin infection results when the number of yeast organisms on the skin increases.
A common cause of infection is an increase in the amount of oil produced on the skin.
Some dogs’ immune systems are compromised, rendering them incapable of fighting yeast infections, resulting in chronic infection. Dogs that receive immunosuppressive drugs such as corticosteroids may also be incapable of effectively preventing yeast infections so they may develop a chronic yeast infection.
Yeast dermatitis is not contagious, which means your dog did not get this infection from another dog. Opportunistic yeast infections often recur unless the underlying skin condition is controlled.
Some of the puppies may also improve a hypersensitivity to yeast, turning into allergic to an organism they are uncovered to all the time. Those dogs have a severe inflammatory reaction, but only a few yeast cells are present on their skin. They will often have numerous recurrences of yeast dermatitis, some starting shortly after treatment is discontinued.

Yeast infection in a dog’s ear:

In some cases, a yeast infection in dogs is associated with another condition, such as diabetes.

    • Allergies
    • Bacterial infection
    • A ruptured eardrum
    • A tumour or polyp within the ear canal
    • A trapped object

Once the vet has determined that the dog is suffering from a yeast infection in his ears, they might conduct tests to check for other health problems.

Signs of a Yeast Infection in Your Dog’s Ears

Common dog ear yeast infection symptoms:

  • Swelling, sometimes with redness, inside the ears
  • dark brown, waxy discharge
  • very itchy, with constant scratching
  • Drooping ears
  • >odour from the ears
  • Scabs and thinning fur around the ears due to scratching
  • Loss of balance
  • Loss of hearing
  • Walking in circles
  • Unusual eye movements

Causes of yeast infection in the ear of a dog

  • Trapped moisture: Malassezia is lipophilic, meaning it likes fats (lipids). That means dogs with oily skins are more susceptible. Dogs who often swim can be prone to infection because they are often damp in places like their ears, groins, and armpits.
  • Antibiotics and anti-allergy drugs are another big concern. Antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria, which allows yeast to grow out of control. 
  • Heavy metals and environmental toxins can also harm the useful bacteria in a dog’s gut, allowing yeast to grow. Heavy metals and other toxins get into a dog’s body through flea and tick preventatives, cleaning products, food, and water.
  • Immunodeficiency
  • Yeast allergy
  • swimming frequently
  • Feeding your sweet dog snacks
  • Not cleaning a dog’s ears.
  • The anatomical structure of the ear: A dog’s ear canal plunges downward and then towards the head (it is shaped like an “L”). This gives the yeast a favorable environment to grow in. If your dog bathes frequently, trapped water or debris in the ear canal can lead to yeast infections. Allergens like pollen, mold, dust, feathers, cigarette smoke, and certain foods can also lead to ear infections in dogs.
  • A dog’s outer ear extends from the earlobe to the eardrum; infection in this part of the ear is known as otitis externa. An infection in the middle ear (otitis media) develops in association with an outer ear infection. Once the middle ear is infected, this infection can spread to the inner ear, affecting the dog’s sense of balance and position. An inner ear infection can also cause deafness. While it’s still in the outer ear, diagnosing and treating an infection early will help prevent serious middle and internal ear infections.

What Foods Cause Ear Yeast Infection in Dogs?

Food can be influential in stimulating your dog’s yeast ear infection. Foods containing carbohydrates like starches, legumes, and grains can trigger food sensitivities that upset your dog’s microbiome. When the gut flora is not balanced, your dog’s pathogenic bacteria exceed the good bacteria, which encourages the yeast to grow.
High-carbohydrate diets feed yeast when they’re digested and broken down into sugar molecules. That leads yeast to grow in larger colonies in the gut and causes chronic inflammation that can trigger ear yeast infections.
Artificial ingredients like flavourings, preservatives, and synthetic vitamins and minerals can also contribute to a yeasty ear.

Yeast infection treatment in dogs:

A vet will look at the dog’s ear canal with the help of an otoscope to determine if the eardrum is intact or if anything is present in the ear canal that could be the cause of the infection. The doctor will probably also take a sample of material from in and around the ear for examination under the microscope. It is essential to know whether yeast, bacteria, or both cause the infection.
If your dog has a yeast infection of the outer ear canal, the vet might prescribe a topical antifungal cream or ointment. Miconazole and ketoconazole are two antifungal medicines that effectively treat yeast ear infections in dogs.
An infection of the middle ear is treated with systemic medications, which include tablets or injections; after that, several tests and even surgery may be needed. It usually takes up to six weeks for the infection to go away.
A vet might ask for a full cleaning of the dog’s ear canal. Special cleansers and ear-drying solutions can be used if the problem is chronic.

Home Remedies for Dogs to Prevent Yeast Dermatitis and Ear Infections

A vet will look at the dog’s ear canal with the help of an otoscope to determine if the eardrum is intact or if anything is present in the ear canal that could be the cause of the infection. The doctor will probably also take a sample of material from in and around the ear for examination under the microscope. It is essential to know whether yeast, bacteria, or both cause the infection.

A vet might ask for a full cleaning of the dog’s ear canal. Special cleansers and ear-drying solutions can be used if the problem is chronic.

Here are some of the home remedies that you can do to begin to get your dog’s yeasty ears under control, such as: 

  • Completely dry your pup after a bath.
  • Cleaning your dog’s ears of dirt regularly with the help of a clean cloth or cotton ball is easy.
  • Feeding your dog a healthy diet full of protein and other nutrients
  • Grooming a dog is a regular hygiene routine that removes dead skin and dirt.

Canine Parvovirus: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention

Parvovirus Infection In Dogs

Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious virus that commonly causes gastrointestinal disease in — young, unvaccinated dogs. Signs include – anorexia, lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea which is often hemorrhagic. Parvovirus comes from Latin word “Parvus” which means small and probably due to this reason this virus is known as parvovirus. Dogs of all age groups may be infected but puppies of 3 months of age are highly susceptible than adults. This virus causes high morbidity (100%) and frequent mortality up to 10% in adult dogs and 91% in pups.

The Respiratory System: Dance Of The Incoming And Outgoing Air.

The respiratory system is important because it helps provide the body with the necessary elements of gases, such as oxygen, which help generate energy and power for the cells. The respiratory system is like a conducting system that conducts the good gas, oxygen, into the body and helps expel the carbon dioxide gas. Carbon dioxide is an excretory product, and this waste product must be efficiently expelled. At the same time, oxygen is transported inside the body, which plays an important role in helping nourish the cells. This system encompasses the nostril, the conducting system- and the lungs.

Although its exact origin is unknown, it is believed to have arisen from FELINE PANLUEKOPENIA VIRUS CPV, which probably arose as a result of two or three genetic mutations in FPV that allowed it to expand its host range to infect dogs. It first emerged in dogs in Europe around 1976. By 1978, the virus had spread unchecked, causing a worldwide epidemic of myocarditis (inflammation of heart muscles) and inflammation of the intestines (gastroenteritis).

Outbreaks of CPV have been reported in many countries, including India. Balu and Thangarajin Madras first said the prevalence study in India. The disease pattern experienced in a population is influenced mainly by the host’s susceptibility, environmental conditions such as housing, hygiene, population density, and the pathogenicity of the infectious agent.

Different strains of canine parvo virus.

Three slightly different canine parvoviruses named CPV-2a, CPV-2b, and CPV-2c are recognized. They cause the same disease, and vaccine gives protection against each. CPV-2B is associated with the most severe disease. A distinct type of parvovirus (CPV-1) has been found in pups with diarrhea in normal dogs. CPV-1 is now believed to be an important cause of disease.

Young (6 weeks to 6 months old) unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated dogs are most susceptible. Although severe clinical disease typically occurs in dogs younger than 6 months of age, adults with insufficient immunity may be affected. CPV-2 is ubiquitous and can survive in the environment for more than a year, enabling exposure of susceptible dogs to infected faeces, vomitus, or fomites. Breeds described at increased risk include-

  • Rottweiler’s
  • Doberman pinschers
  • American Pit Bull Terriers
  • English Springer Spaniels
  • German Shepherds
  • Labrador Retrievers
  • Doberman, Rottweiler, and German shepherd (GS) dogs have been reported to be more susceptible to CPVE than other breeds. Due to inherited immunodeficiency, the exceptional breeds, German Sphered and Doberman, are extra prone than the different breeds. The German shepherd has the highest CPV infection rate (70%), followed by the Doberman (55%).

Assuming sufficient colostrum ingestion, puppies born to a dam with CPV antibodies are protected from infection for the first few weeks of life. However, susceptibility to infection increases as maternally acquired antibodies wane.

Risk Factors

  • Breed predisposition.
  • Possible simultaneous conditions, diseases, or drug therapy that lead to an inability to develop a normal immune response (known as “immunosuppression”), such as heavy parasitism.
  • Incomplete vaccination protocol, vaccine failure, or regular interference of the doggy creates protecting antibodies due to maternal antibodies.
  • Breeding kennels, pounds, shelters, and areas with an excessive quantity of pups besides ample immune response or inadequately vaccinated puppies.

Etiology:

CPV is a small, non-enveloped, single-stranded DNA virus that replicates in the nucleus of dividing cells in the late S phase or early G2 phase of the cell cycle.

Pathogenesis:

Once a dog or puppy is infected, there is an incubation period of 3-7 days before the onset of the first symptoms. CPV wants the assistance of swiftly dividing cells to motivate disease correctly, and the virus commonly starts evolving with the aid of attacking the tonsils or lymph nodes of the throat. Once inside the lymph nodes, the virus typically invades lymphocytes for one or two days, creating copies of itself, then enters the bloodstream. Many of these CPV-infected lymphocytes are ultimately killed, causing a reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes (lymphopenia).

Once in the bloodstream, the virus again targets rapidly dividing cells, hitting hardest in the bone marrow and the cells lining the wall of the small intestine. In very younger dogs, CPV can also infect the coronary heart, leading to irritation of the coronary heart muscle, terrible characteristics, and arrhythmias.

The virus invades the crypts of lieberkuhn of the small intestine, where new epithelial cells are born and disable the body’s ability to replenish the intestinal surface, rendering it unable to adequately absorb nutrients, prevent fluid loss into the stool or prevent bacteria from moving from the gut into the body. Severe diarrhea and nausea are the initial results. Still, eventually, the intestinal surface can become so damaged that it begins to break down, and the bacteria normally confined to the gut penetrate the intestinal wall and enter the bloodstream.

The virus is shed in the feces of infected dogs within four to five days of exposure, throughout the period of illness, and for up to 10 days after clinical recovery. Infection is received thru direct oral or nasal contact with virus-containing faces or circuitously thru contact with virus-contaminated fomites.

Transmission & Infection risk

Canine parvovirus is unfolded with the aid of direct contact with a contaminated canine or sniffing or ingesting contaminated faces. Infection can also spread through contact with items contaminated with the virus, such as shared bedding, bowls, soil, or even people’s hands or clothing, and in this way, the virus can be passed from one dog to another. Washing hands thoroughly with soap and water will remove the virus. Specific disinfectants want to be used to eliminate parvovirus from the environment, including toys, garb, and cages.

Can people get sick with it? No, contamination with dogs parvovirus has now not been documented in people. However, people can spread it to other dogs if they have the virus on their hands or clothing and then touch other dogs or their environment (e.g., kennel, toys, grooming tools).

Clinical signs:

Clinical signs of parvovirus enteritis generally develop within 5-7 days of infection but can range from 2-14 days. Signs generally include severe vomiting and diarrhea. Diarrhea often has Avery strong smell, may contain a lot of mucus, and may or may not contain blood.

      • Loss of energy, sluggishness (lethargy), lack of appetite (known as “anorexia”), vomiting, and profuse diarrhea with rapid, severe weight loss
      • Rapid heart rate (known as “tachycardia”)
      • Moist tissues of the mouth and eyes (known as “mucous membranes”) may also be faded or deep red due to the blood vessels being crammed with blood (known as being “injected”) or yellowish (known as being “icteric” or “jaundiced”)
      • Dehydration
      • Pain or soreness when the veterinarian feels the stomach (known as “abdominal palpation”)
      • Intestines may be fluid-filled, or rarely, the veterinarian may detect the folding of one segment of the intestine into another segment (known as “intussusception”)
      • May have a fever, or the body temperature may be lower than normal (known as “hypothermia”)
      • May exhibit vomiting/diarrhea in the examination room.

The bacterial translocation from the intestine to systemic circulation can cause fever, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and septic shock with hypotension and organ failure. Apart from diarrhea, respiratory distress, pulmonary congestion, and edema, alveolar and bronchiolar hemorrhage and convulsions are also occasionally manifested due to hypovolemia, endotoxic, and septicemic shock. The malabsorption of nutrients and inadequate storage of glycogen in muscle and liver result in hypoglycemic encephalopathy, which leads to seizures. On hospital admission, the prognosis is poor in CPVE dogs with intussusception, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and severe leucopenia.

Diagnosis:

Canine PVE has clinical similarities with other causes of acute gastrointestinal disturbances, including, though not limited to, canine distemper infection and another viral enteritis, hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, enteric bacterial infections such as salmonellosis, acute pancreatitis, hypoadrenocorticism, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal intussusception, gastrointestinal overseas bodies, and quite a number intoxications. Therefore, clinical diagnosis of PVE necessitates the combination of compatible clinical and clinicopathologic abnormalities along with detecting the viruses in the feces by electron microscopy, virus isolation, fecal antigen tests, or PCR Assays of feces or blood. Fecal antigen assays and PCR assays are used most frequently in clinical practice.

Prognosis:

The prognosis with CPV- 2 associated gastrointestinal diseases can be poor. However, with fast and gorgeous supportive care, many domestic dogs will survive.

The survival rate of dogs is 68-92%, and most puppies that survive the first 3-4 days make a complete recovery. It normally takes about one week for domestic dogs to get better from parvo.

Treatment:

No specific drug is available, and the treatment is intended to support the dog’s body systems. The principal components of supportive and symptomatic therapy include: 

  1. Fluid therapy and oncotic support,
  2. Antibiotics
  3. Antiemetic
  4. Nutritional support.

A vast vary of different cure measures, including, although no longer restricted to, antiviral redress and ache administration, have been assessed in the previous or are presently under investigation involving their potential utility in CPVE. Other GI-supportive therapies, like bland diets and probiotics, are often prescribed during recovery.

Possible Complications

  • Generalized bacterial infection (sepsis)
  • Presence of bacterial toxins in the blood (endotoxemia)
  • Shock
  • Intussusception (the folding of one segment of the intestine into another segment)
  • Blood clotting disorder (disseminated intravascular coagulopathy)
  • Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)

Expected Course :

  • If the doggy recovers, recuperation is commonly complete; immunity following canines parvovirus contamination is a lengthy-time period and might also be lifelong.
  • Mortality is primarily due to the presence of bacterial toxins in the blood (endotoxemia)
  • Aggressive remedy improves survival. However, mortality prices can also nonetheless strategy 30%

Prevention and control:

The great technique of defending your canine in opposition to CPV contamination is suited to vaccination. It is recommended to be given at 8,12, and 16 weeks of age.in some high-risk situations, veterinarians will give the vaccine at 2 weeks intervals, with an additional booster administered at 18-22 weeks of age. If an approved 3-year parvovirus vaccine were used, the next booster vaccine would be routinely administered in three years.

Pregnant ladies may be boosted with a killed parvovirus vaccine two to 4 weeks earlier than whelping to switch greater degrees of shielding antibodies to the puppies.

The tiny parvovirus is extraordinarily hardy. They are capable of surviving for months outside an animal, even through the winter, and are resistant to most household cleaning products. Infected puppies can shed full-size numbers of viruses, making it challenging to disinfect a place as soon as it has been uncovered to a contaminated dog. These facts highlight the importance of isolating any dog that is infected with CPV from other dogs. Given the truth that most environments (including canine parks, lawns, and even homes) are now not cleaned with disinfecting products regularly, a pup can be uncovered to CPV barring any warning, making vaccine safety all the extra important.

If your domestic and yard have been contaminated via a contaminated dog, there are steps you can take to disinfect them earlier than introducing a new canine or puppy. Despite its relative resistance to cleansing agents, we do understand that CPV can be inactivated through bleach. Cleaning with an answer of phase bleach blended with about 30 components of water is a desirable approach for disinfecting any indoor place (including bedding, food/water bowls, and all surfaces) that once housed an infected dog. There is evidence suggesting that CPV loses some of its ability to infect an animal after one month in an indoor environment.

Conclusion:

CPV-2 is one of the huge viral enteropathogens of canines inflicting excessive morbidity and mortality and manifested via vomition and extreme acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. Prompt symptomatic remedies will expand the survivability of contaminated domestic dogs; however, vaccination is a nice way to stop the disorder in dogs.

Although the pups are protected through vaccination from the pregnant bitch, it is more vulnerable to CPV-2 infection as maternal antibody titers start declining. Despite the availability of highly sensitive and specific diagnostic approaches and effective prophylactics such as modified live virus and inactivated vaccines, a large number of outbreaks are still reported in wide geographical areas across the globe in both vaccinated and unvaccinated dogs.

Future studies should be taken up towards vaccination failures, the occurrence of CPV-2 in different canine species, and the emergence of antigenic variants of the CPV-2 involved in the outbreaks.

Dermisule – Nourish Your Pet’s Skin and Coat with Our Comprehensive Guide

Bright And Shiny- Coat & Smiles: A Quick Faq Guide On Skin, Skin-Related Problems & Treatment.

Fur here fur there,

Fur flying everywhere,

My pet is itchy and shedding too,

Is it the season or infection blues?

Our pets are often adored for their lustrous coat and healthy skin. Skin is the largest organ and has quite a lot to say. Any ailment or deflection from the norm within the body is directly reflected outside, i.e., on the skin. For instance, in the case of certain ongoing infections in the body, there is fluid loss leading to dehydration. This dehydration can be reflected on the skin, and your veterinarian can subsequently assess the root cause and treat your pet effectively.

Similarly, any deficiencies in minerals or vitamins too can be reflected in the quality of fur. Brittle fur, hair shedding, loss of luster, rough and dry coat, etc., are certain examples of infections/deficiency diseases being reflected directly on the coat and skin. Therefore, it is safe to say that- ‘the body speaks. We need to have open eyes for hearing.’ Is your pet constantly irritated and itches violently? Are there any signs of infections on the skin? Fur loss?

If you have certain such questions, worry not. This FAQ guide has got you covered. Read on to learn more about skin and associated problems that may arise. Through this mini-FAQ guide, let us discover the causes, effects, and treatment of this vicious cycle of skin irritation and derangements.

The Fur Factor:

We, humans, have hair on our bodies, and these hairs have quite a number of purposes to serve. It is one of the defining characteristics of mammals. Hair is a protein filament that grows from follicles found in the dermis [skin]. The major function of hair is to protect the skin[body] from the outside environment as well as serve as an insulating agent. In comparison, we humans have evolved in such a way that we wear clothing to protect and keep ourselves warm. Our pets, on the other hand, have fur instead of hair to serve the same function.

Fur is a variety of thick increase of hair that covers the skin. A different breed of dog has different fur. In fact, the fur type and form of fur depends upon the environment which that breed of dog faces. For example- Indie breed dogs [Mudhol Hound, Rajapalliyam, etc.] have a rather thin fur coat as India is a tropical country and is predominantly hot and humid. On The flip side, Alaskan Malamutes or Huskies, which are native to northern regions of the globe, tend to have thick coats of fur as the atmosphere in Alaska [northern regions] is supremely cold, and thus these dogs require a good amount of insulation and protection against adverse climatic conditions.

Here Are Few Dog Breeds And Their Fur Type:

As mentioned above, the environment plays an important role in moulding the type of fur your furry friend might have. And thus, according to breeds, fur pattern changes. Here are some of the most frequent breeds determined in India and their fur/coat type.

1. Short Fur/Coated Dogs:

These dogs have very short fur coats.

      • Some of the Indie Breeds such the as-Mudhol Hound, Rajapalliyam [Indian Sighthound], Chippiparai, Kanni, Indian Pariah Dogs, and Rampur Greyhound.
      • Foreign Breed dogs such as Chihuahuas, Boston terriers, Dalmatians, French bulldogs, Greyhound, Mastiffs, Boxers, Pugs, Great Danes, Dachshunds, and Beagles.

2. Medium-Coated Dogs:

These dogs have comparatively more fur coats. Breeds such as Corgi, Shepherd dogs, Border collies, Indian Spitz dogs, Cocker Spaniels, Pomeranians, etc.

3. Long-Fur Dogs:

They have a long fur coat and a thicker fur coat.

    • Indie breeds such as Bakharwal Dog [native to Jammu Kashmir Ladakh Union Territories], Gaddi Kutta [GaddiWatchdog] native to northern India, Himalayan Sheepdog, Tibetian Mastiff, Kumaon Mastiff [As these dogs reside in Himalayan areas in the northern part of India, they tend to have a thick coat, long fur to protect them against the chilly atmosphere of Himalayan Areas.]
    • Foreign breed dogs such as –German Shepherd, Siberian husky, Alaskan Malamutes, English Setters, and Lhasa Apso.

The Fur Factor & Problems

While fur is an excellent insulator and protects the body from all odds, it is also an indicator of your dog’s health status. While it does add to the beauty of a dog, it is a good reflective mirror that can give you an idea of an underlying issue. All dogs are beautiful and loving creatures, but due to certain skin conditions and disease processes, your pet might experience fur loss, rough coat, dull colour, loss of luster, etc. At the same time, there are many biological conditions that are at play apart from infectious reasons. Right from nutritional imbalances to hormonal harmony to seasonal shedding changes, let us have a quick look at what exact mechanism works behind keeping our dogs’ fur shiny, healthy, and happy.

Fur: A Mirror Reflection Of Ailments

WHAT HAPPENS HERE?

  1. You may observe your dog is itchy and scratching their bodies against some rough
    1. surface
    2. You may observe fleas and ticks [Fleas are a well-known cause of allergic dermatitis]
    3. Loss of fur is evident
    4. You may observe more shedding of fur than usual
    5. The hair coat is rough to touch
    6. The colour of the fur is dull and has lost its luster
    7. You may observe a pattern of fur loss [ for example, only on a tail region or eye region]

 1. NON-INFECTIOUS CAUSES

Generally, allergens cause a short-term cough, and even some mild respiratory infections last for a few days. Prolonged coughing needs to be diagnosed thoroughly, as the causative factor could be the heart itself. Thus, proper medical help should be sought out at the earliest to rule out or rule in cardiac complications and cardiac diseases.

Infectious Causes

I. NUTRITION & SKIN:

When there are nutritional imbalances, this problem of fur-skin-related issues can arise. Food that has relatively less amount of protein, poor quality of fats, proteins, and less amount of essential fatty acids can predispose your pet to various skin ailments. Zinc, particularly, is very important in maintaining skin-coat health. Omega-3 fatty acids, which are obtained from fish, are also important in maintaining skin health.

II. HORMONE HARMONY

Rough hair coat, old age, patchy loss of fur [symmetrical manner], and rat-tail appearance of the tail are clear indicators of thyroid hormone-related issues. Your veterinarian might suggest thyroid testing, given the age, skin issues, and other concurrent signs observed. While everyone inevitably has to develop old, pores and skin ailments would possibly come into the photo reflective of underlying systemic diseases. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential for arriving at a good destination of health.

III. SEASONAL SHEDDING

While most dogs shed their fur at least once or twice a year, there is nothing to worry about in case you observe more fur loss than before during shedding season. Occasional shedding occurs when fur becomes damaged, and thus: ‘to allow new fur to grow, the old one has to go!’ Shedding does occur when new fur has to grow. Shedding also depends upon the season, health status, and age stage of life; shedding most frequently occurs during or before the summer season since the atmosphere is extremely hot, whereas even during June-July, there might be increased shedding in response to hot + humid atmosphere. This is a totally natural and normal phenomenon observed in dogs and cats, and thereby you need not worry about the same. However, if you observe any other concurrent health conditions and skin infections, you might need to give your vet a visit to ensure safety, as ‘Prevention is always better than cure.’ Skin infections and issues should not be taken lightly as they might be secondary to some other health issue.

IV. ALLERGIC TWIST

Many types of human foods are forbidden in the dog-cat kingdom, and some people might unknowingly offer these foodstuffs to them, which again does more bad than good. Sweet biscuits or cookies are strictly forbidden and must not be given as they have high sugar content. On the different hand, Indian flatbread, which is made from wheat flour or wheat rotis, should now not be given to puppies as it might also reason gluten hypersensitivity in pets and again aggravate the fur-loss conditions. Your pet might be allergic to many types of feedstuffs, and thus, consult your nearest vet and ask them beforehand which type of feedstuff is OK and which ones are strictly contraindicated.

The Clues And The Puzzle: Diagnosing And Treating Skin Infections

While skin infections are one of the most tedious kinds of infections to cure, apt diagnosis helps in treating the root cause of infection effectively. Here are a couple of steps your veterinarian will take to help your pet out-

1. Skin Scraping tests: through this test, mange-associated mites can be observed under the microscope. Apart from skin scraping tests for mites, using certain dyes can help diagnose fungal or bacterial agents.
History taking:

2. History taking plays an important role in figuring out the root cause of any disease. This also helps in understanding the allergic causes of coat-fur-related problems, if any.

3. Deworming schedule: routine deworming is extremely important to prevent any secondary infections/coat-related problems, etc.

Fleas/Ticks control: fleas and ticks are extremely vicious. They not only affect the external fur coat and skin but also store infectious agents such as tapeworms/tick-fever-associated agents like Babesia/Anaplasma, etc.

Treatment protocol involves a holistic approach. The treatment regime consists of oral medications for allergic itchings, such as anti-histaminic tablets, antibiotics, and the use of certain selenium-zinc supplements. Apart from oral medications, the use of oils, and medicated shampoos, those tailored specifically to certain conditions are prescribed. Homeopathic remedy – Dermisule plays an important role in curing skin infections and associated signs/symptoms. Coupled with Me & My SKIN & COAT Pet Supplement helps heal the skin and hasten the recovery.
While there are many reasons behind hair fall, dry skin, itchy and scaly skin, and rough hair coat, these conditions could be reversed by adopting good sanitation and nutritional practices. My Skin and Coat pet supplement, along with Dermisule, helps in maintaining the quality of fur, regaining and protecting natural skin, and coating after injuries, cracks, scaly eruptions, or any acute skin lesion in pets.

WHEEZ GO- ME & MY COUGH

Sneeze & Wheez – Let’s Keep Them At Bay.

Coughing, sneezing, and a runny nose—the “terrible three,” as we know them are the uninvited guests that may pay our pets a quick visit at random. Although these three are not diseases as such, they are merely indicative symptoms of some ongoing etiology. Now, it might be scary and a bit troublesome to pinpoint and comprehend what might be the root cause of coughing and sneezing. Nevertheless, we’ve got you covered.

The Respiratory System: Dance Of The Incoming And Outgoing Air.

The respiratory system is important in the sense that it helps provide the body with the necessary elements of gases, such as oxygen, which help generate energy and power for the cells. The respiratory system is like a conducting system, a system that conducts the good gas, oxygen, into the body and helps expel the carbon dioxide gas in the body. Carbon dioxide is an excretory product, and it is extremely important that this waste product is efficiently expelled while the oxygen is being transported inside the body, which plays an important role in helping nourish the cells. This system encompasses the nostril, the conducting system- and the lungs.

Coughing & Its Importance: Is Coughing The Devil?

There are minute, elaborate structures that work hand in hand to assist our bodies in remaining in shape and fine. One such system is the physical barriers such as cilia/hair/ etc., which are present on the mucous membrane of the nose, which helps prevent the pathogen from entering the body. On irritation of these, there is a reflex sneeze that expels the pathogen out. However, this is just a tiny example of what our body can do! Let’s now understand what coughing is and its importance.

Defence Mechanism

Coughing helps and aids the body to get rid of pathogens [which cause diseases] by providing protection and also aids in clearing the airways [trachea-bronchial tree]. Nostrils or external nares are very well equipped with hair, or cilia as we may call it in medical terms, which helps capture externally harmful objects such as dust, dirt, pollen, viruses, and bacteria, which may cause a certain degree of damage to the epithelial lining of the nose and cause infection, which may trigger signs and symptoms of coughing, sneezing, and so on.

Fight against pathogens

The coughing mechanism of our physique is beneficial in hinting at a probable infection. As the infection rises, coughing and sneezing are important mechanisms that help the body get rid of pathogens, expel them, and fight against the microorganism. On the flip side, as the infection falls, or as the immunity builds, the cough and cold levels start dropping, which again helps us realise that the infection has been cured or minimised to a greater extent.

Coughing & Types: Co-Relation And Causes.

Sometimes, the type of cough can effectively guide us to establish the etiology and hence help us treat efficiently. 

  • Dry Cough [without sputum or mucus being expectorated/ coming out from the throat or Productive Cough [with sputum/ mucus accompanying coughing]
  1. Dry cough— could be due to asthma or an allergy. Other causative factors involve viral respiratory infections. In kennel cough, particularly, there is a honking kind of coughing.
  2. Productive cough—it could be because of respiratory infections, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, etc.
  • The period of coughing, I.e., whether the cough lasts for a few hours, more than a few days, or worsens as time passes.
  1. Acute cough: If a cough lasts only for a few hours and then subsides, then it’s an acute cough.
  2. Chronic cough: Chronic Cough: If it lasts for more than a few weeks, it may be a chronic cough due to some health issues.

Generally, allergens cause a short-term cough, and even some mild respiratory infections last for a few days. Prolonged coughing needs to be diagnosed thoroughly as the causative factor could be the heart itself, thus, proper medical help should be sought out at the earliest to rule out or rule out cardiac complications and cardiac diseases.

A Sneeze And Wheeze Away.

There are many causative factors that may trigger sneezing and coughing. It is interesting to note that these may be totally and completely naturally occurring symptoms, with or without any ongoing pathological disease. However, these signs are manifested not only by some disease processes but may also be due to allergic reactions, inflammatory signs, irritation to the nasal passage, and so on. Let’s have a quick look at all the possible reasons that may trigger sneezing, wheezing, and other associated symptoms.

  1. Infections and terror of the germs-
  2. Infections are common, as infection-causing viruses and bacteria are usually present in the atmosphere surrounding us. The minute our immunity goes down due to some odd reasons, these bacteria and viruses get a kick start to initiate infection and multiply themselves, setting up infection colonies that cause destruction of the epithelial membrane of the nasal passage and hence the runny-nose symptom. Irritation of the passage due to these viruses and bacteria causes itching sensations and redness.
  3. For dogs, the common bacteria and viruses causing respiratory infections are:
  4. Bordetella bronchiseptica, canine adenovirus, canine influenza virus, canine distemper virus, canine herpes virus, mycoplasma, etc.
  5. For dogs, the common bacteria and viruses causing respiratory infections are:
  6. Bordetella bronchiseptica, canine adenovirus, canine influenza virus, canine distemper virus, canine herpes virus, mycoplasma, etc.
  7. For cats, the common bacteria and viruses causing respiratory infections are-
  8. Feline herpes virus, feline rhinotracheitis virus, feline chlamydiosis, feline calicivirus, cryptococcus, etc.
  9. The signs observed are:
    • Runny nose
    • Gagging
    • Coughing
    • Hacking cough
    • Straining to remove cough and mucus
    • Inappetence
    • Losing weight due to an ongoing infection
    • Listlessness
    • Polyp-like growths in the nasal passage on detailed examination in case of Cryptococcal infection
    • Scabs on the muzzle and nose
    • Laboured breathing
    • Systemic signs in case the infection spreads to other internal organs
  1. The other cause of coughing/sneezing could be ALLERGY!
  2. Yes, like human beings, even our pets might develop allergies to certain items. For instance, dust allergies can trigger itching and sneeze in humans, and they can manifest in a similar, if not identical, manner in non-humans such as our pets. Pollen grain allergies are again another common cause of sneezing in pets. This is termed “allergic rhinitis” or “allergic rhino-tracheitis.” Certain environmental elements are irritating by nature. They irritate the nasal and lining passages of the respiratory system, therefore setting up the field for the growth of secondary infectious agents.
  3. Allergies can be self-limiting and mostly do not need medical assistance. However, in cases of extreme allergic reactions, certain antihistaminic and other associated drugs are necessary as they might be life-threatening. Therefore, do not take allergic responses lightly and consult your nearest vet at the earliest if you suspect any allergic reactions in your pet.
  4. Extra respiratory causes—heart trouble.
  5. In elderly pets, a persistent cough, especially during the night, can indicate something different. This cough may or may not be related to the respiratory system directly. Certain cardiac ailments can cause coughing, and hence, after the age of 8–9, yearly cardiac consults are essential.

Cure And Assessing The Cause

The key to the puzzle lock is figuring out what is wrong! There are certain tests that your veterinarian will opt for in case your pet is presented with coughing, sneezing, and other such associated respiratory system ailment. Your vet may suggest-

  • A complete blood count with liver and kidney function tests—the reason being that certain viruses and bacteria are extremely prolific and invasive in nature. They end up hampering and damaging multiple organs on their way out. Which is why, to be on the safe side, it is mandatory to check for systemic infections and the vital functioning of the internal organs just to be well equipped with the outcomes and cure.
  • X-Ray scan-this provides valuable information about the thoracic cavity and the heart. Pleural effusions/adhesions, the size of the heart, and other intricacies can be delicately assessed by reading X-ray scans.

The treatment protocol is easier when the root cause has been established early on. This can only be possible if you, as a pet parent, approach your pet’s veterinarian at the earliest possible time.
Certain diseases, such as respiratory infections, can spread rapidly via aerosols to other pets in the house. For instance, the feline herpes virus can spread rampantly to other kittens if not kept under control. Therefore, here are a few steps that can be considered:

  1. Isolation of the affected pet.
  2. Getting the veterinarian’s advice at the earliest.
  3. Systemic antibiotics, antihistamine tablets, or syrups as prescribed by the vet.
  4. Nebulizing with bronchodilator drugs.
  5. Homeopathic remedies, along with the necessary treatment protocol, thereby provide a holistic approach to treating the disease.

Boost Your Pet’s Vitality with StrezzA: A Comprehensive Guide to Natural Energy and Health

A Game Of Stress: 10 Reasons Why Stress Is A Mess.

Stress, as we all know, it is a state of being anxious, worried, and troubled with respect to some ongoing event or an event that has already taken place in the past. Stress is an emotion expressed by animals as well, although in ways we may not be so familiar with it. Stress is the reaction to certain unwanted outward stimuli. It may be due to traveling, change of location, change of atmosphere, and so on. However, stress may also be due to certain ailments and disease processes, certain emotional/physical trauma, or it may be due to certain normal physiological conditions such as pregnancy/lactation, etc. Let us understand this better:

What Stresses Our Pets Out: Top 10 Reasons

1. Travelling..

Although you may love traveling and exploring the unexplored, this particular expedition may not fare well with your pets. Pets are highly sensitive to changes in localities and areas. One of the reasons may be that pets such as dogs are territorial animals. They like protecting and guarding their regions. A sudden change in environment may affect them mentally as it takes time to acclimatise to the new atmosphere. 

Here’s what you can do-

  • Make your pet comfortable with the idea of traveling by introducing them to your car/mode of transport prior to the journey, allowing them to explore car seats, etc.
  • Travel shorter distances before undertaking longer journeys.
  • Carry water and feed bowls.
  • Water should be freely available.
  • A fitness certificate from your vet is a must prior to undertaking any journeys.
  • The vaccination schedule must be up to date.
  • Carry all prescription medicines along with your pet’s health file.

2. Moving Houses

On similar grounds as traveling, any sudden change can affect your pets. Therefore it is advisable to make your pets more comfortable prior to any shifting/moving houses scheduled plans. 

3. Introducing New Pets.

Every pet is different and unique, with their own little quirks, likes and dislikes. Thinking of bringing home new pets? Stop and think twice. Some pets are commonly ok with new pets being added nearly immediately. At the same time, some pets are not-so-okay with the whole scenario. Some take time to gel and open up. You know your pet quite well. Hence, before adopting another furry paw, ensure that the pet is okay.

Behavioural changes and hostility / friendly behaviour are two sides of the same coin; the point is which one lands first. Here’s what you can do to minimise stress while introducing new pets-

  1. Do not force your pet to bond with a new pet.
  2. Let the process be gradual.
  3. Do not keep food bowls together on the very first day of introducing them to each other, as it may trigger fights in some cases.
  4. Hire a Canine behavioural expert in case your dog/cat is acting strange or is extremely agitated.
  5. Give both the old and new pet some space to figure out and adjust to the new environment.
  6. Give assurance to your pet.

4. Introducing New People.

Introducing new pets and new people can be a challenge for some, while it can be a much easier task for others. It again depends upon the innate nature of your pet. Some pets can easily gel with other human beings, while some are quite anxious and hence tend to go into hiding, indicating that they are stressed. Some pets, on the other hand, can get extremely agitated, in a sense to protect their owners from the potential danger that the new stranger may bring.

5. Unfamiliar Areas And Surroundings.

Dogs are natural explorers. They like heading out and studying extra about their new environment. However, this is a gradual process, and it is better if the pet themselves decide the pace of this process. For instance, if you want to learn how to swim, you will gradually take a step forward and would prefer this method over being pushed suddenly into the ocean. This very identical notion applies to our pets as well. Sudden introduction to unfamiliar areas and territories may trigger anxiety and stress and would end up doing more damage than good.

6. Disease Process.

Infections and disease-causing viruses put an immense load on the immune system. The immune system is composed of the White Blood Cells or the fighter cells that effectively capture, kill and destroy any foreign invading pathogens. Bacteria, viruses, and prions can trigger the immune system and therefore hamper immunity. This, in turn, sends the body and immune system under tremendous amounts of pressure, which contributes to elevated stress levels.

7. Recent Vaccinations And Medications.

Although this type of stress is almost minimal, it is still not negligible. Vaccination involves injecting non-pathogenic/avirulent antigens into the body to trigger the immune response. This helps the body remember the disease-causing pathogen and give adequate response for the same. This puts the body under stress for some time.

8. Normal Physiology: Pregnancy/Lactation.

Pregnancy and lactation also put the body under certain amounts of stress, which is almost inevitable in nature. Please note that before administration of any drugs/medicines during pregnancy and lactation, consult your primary vet. Also, any medications during this period should be done under a veterinarian’s advice only. 

9. Separation Anxiety

Separation anxiety is a kind of stress response that pets with severe anxiety issues exhibit when separated from their owners, or persons they are deeply bonded with. Signs that may be exhibited are:

    • Vocalisation and howling.
    • Trembling.
    • Refusing food/water.
    • Pacing. 
    • Peeing/pooping inside the house. 
    • Drooling. 
    • Destroying wires/furniture, etc., out of anger and frustration.
    • Running away from house/garden, trying to escape. 
    • Hiding away beneath beds and sofas.
    • Other odd behavioural modifications.

HOW TO MINIMIZE AND BUST THE STRESS.

      • Recognise the problem: Notice the subtle behavioural changes that may be exhibited by your pets. Early prognosis helps in higher administration of the problem.
      • Eliminate the problem: If you know what the problem is, try to eliminate it. For instance, if a new environment bothers your pet, try to help them acclimatize to the environment slowly. Do not force them into things at random.
      • Remember the patterns: Remember how your pet usually reacts to certain stressors. If other community pets stress your dog out, remember their response patterns and try to figure out how they can adjust and adapt to the social dynamics. You may even consider hiring a behavioural or canine behavioural expert to help you out in this matter.

BUILD UP IMMUNITY, BUILD UP VITALITY.
Immunity and vitality are two such factors that not only complement each other but also help build a stronger foundation of health and vigour. Pay attention to –

    1. The food your pet eats: A balanced diet consisting of proper amounts of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and nutrients helps improve energy and boost immunity. Mineral depletion can result in chronic fatigue and depression, as a result, causes depressed immunity which essentially means vitality is hampered. Zinc, magnesium, Calcium, and Iron are some of the important minerals useful in building vitality. Certain vitamins like B complex along with Vitamin A, D, E, and K are well-known for their role in boosting energy and aiding daily cellular functioning. Certain plants or herbs too are helpful in boosting vitality, for example- Basil [ Hindi – Tulsi ], and Curcumin [ Hindi- Haldi ] have a similarly wide range of health benefits.
    2. The quality of sleep they get: Sleep or rest is very important as it helps with cognition, concentration, productivity, energy conservation, modulation of immune responses, performance, vigilance, disease, and psychological well-being. Sleep plays an important role in your physical health. Sleep is also involved in the healing and repairing process. It also boosts the Immune System.
    3. Exercising and physical activities: Exercise plays a huge role in building immunity in your pets. A series of regular exercises enhances immune response. Overexertion or strenuous exercise result in oxidative damage to the cells and will have a backfire effect, increasing the susceptibility to infections. Anything in excess is harmful thus, regular walks, and regular exercise are important. Consistency is the key. Remember Quality of exercise is much more important than the quantity of exercise. It is important to note that, never exercise your pets immediately, or before or after food. as again it will have harmful effects on your pets system. Exercise should always be moderated and done in proper quantities. It should be an enjoyable process for both you and your pets.

Here’s what you can do –

  • Daily walks 2-4 times per day to refresh them and give them relief from holding their bladder.
  • Playing with balls/toys.
  • Running in the backyard.
  • Going on hikes or a short jog.
  • Toys and play area for puppies and kittens.

Apart from that fore mentioned steps, it is important to consult your vet at timely intervals to ensure that your pet is healthy and in good spirits. Also ensure that your pets’ deworming and vaccination records are all up to date. Grooming and recreational exercises are important as it improves your pets’ quality of life. A homeopathic remedy such as Strezza for pets is an excellent remedy useful in treating Anxiety, Stress, and other associated problems. Symptoms such as scratching, barking, snapping unnecessarily, etc can be due to Anxiety and Stress. Anxiety and stress are expressed in various ways. Keep an eye out for other such subtle changes in body language and behaviour.  Another remedy for calming anxiety, and building up vigour and vitality is, Me & My Vitality. This is a special complement for pets experiencing severe lassitude (inactiveness), depression, nervousness, irritability, and different associated symptoms. Remember to be patient and calm with your pets for they do not understand how to effectively channelise their emotions when stressed.

Let’s build a better world for all creatures, great and small!

Identifying and Treating Common Skin Problems in Dogs: A Comprehensive Guide

Our dogs have skin just like us. Skin problems are one of the most common problems that our dogs can suffer, with a wide range of causes, conditions, and treatments. These skin problems can be mild or severe, with some being communicable to other pets and humans.

Common Skin problems in dogs are more common during the summer, which is when seasonal allergies, insect bites, and other allergic symptoms occur more often. It’s very important to take care of any skin conditions your dog suffers from, even if they appear relatively minor in nature.

What are the signs of skin conditions in dogs?

The symptoms of skin conditions in dogs are very similar to those occurring in humans; dogs may also suffer from dry, irritated, or red skin in certain areas. There may be hair loss, also known as “alopecia,” their skin coat may appear rough and greasy, or they can suffer from dandruff problems. The first thing anyone can spot is a dog scratching itself more in order to relieve some of its discomforts.

A dog’s pores and skin circumstances can vary from slight to extreme. Many of them require treatment to recover or prevent getting worse. In fact, when a skin condition is left untreated for some time, it can become complicated and more serious. For example, an allergic reaction may additionally end up secondarily contaminated with bacteria, or a bacterial contamination might also additionally end up contaminated with yeast.

Some of the most common skin problems in dogs include bacterial skin infections, environmental allergies, and parasite allergies. Particular breeds may be a predisposing factor for some skin diseases, as such dogs have their own skin conditions. Some breeds of dogs, such as Bulldogs or Pugs, can suffer irritation from bacteria and yeast becoming “stuck” in their skin folds. Environmental pressures in some medium-sized dogs may be a reason for several skin conditions, and such dogs need special care and support as they may spend lots of time outside or work.

Why do dogs get skin conditions?

External factors can create or aggravate some skin conditions in dogs. Dogs who spend a lot of time outside playing or working are in contact with a greater variety of pests and parasites, which can cause inflammation in these dogs. Shampoo or other cleaning products such as soaps that remove all sebum from a dog’s body should be avoided as they will cause many skin problems.

A nutritionally unbalanced food plan may additionally make contributions to the incidence of pores and skin conditions in dogs. Food can cause several types of adverse reactions, and the most common is an allergic reaction, which can result in symptoms such as scratching, redness, and inflammation. Therefore, diet may play an important role in causing different skin problems, along with the sensitivity of the dog.

You can help your dog’s pores and skin and hair fitness and take preventative motion against many common skin problems in dogs by choosing an appropriate food and being conscious of any exterior elements they may encounter. If you’re unsure, ask your veterinarian.

Here are some signs of common skin problems in dogs and what could be causing them.

Common Signs of Skin Problems in Dogs

Rashes

A rash (redness) can occur on any part of your dog’s skin, but it is most commonly seen on the abdomen. Common causes of a dog’s rash are:

  • Irritating objects like poison, fertilizer, or garden chemical compounds can motivate a reaction when they come into contact with the dog. This condition is known as contact dermatitis.
  • bite of an insect
  • Allergies due to anything

If contact dermatitis is suspected, rinse off the affected skin area to remove any of the irritants still present.

No treatment is necessary for a rash caused by an insect bite that is not bothering the animal. The spots should go away on their own.

If the rash caused by insect bites or allergies is troubling your dog, a cool bath can be given to the animal with the help of shampoo containing colloidal oatmeal.

Scabs

Crusting of the skin, also known as scabs, can be the primary problem, or it can happen after a short-lived pustule (or pimple) pops and crusts over. Scabs on dogs can be caused by the following:

  • juvenile pustular dermatitis
  • Ectoparasites (mites, mange, and fleas)
  • Pyoderma is bacterial pores and skin infection that impacts wrinkled canine breeds such as pugs and bulldogs.

Treatment may include oral antibiotics, medicated shampoos, or an antiparasitic medication.

Red Spots

Red spots occur on a dog’s abdomen commonly during the late spring and early summer. The bite of a black fly causes it. These can be left untreated, as these flat, red spots typically do not bother dogs.

The bites of the black fly can be confused with ringworm spots. Ringworms require remedy in the structure of topical or oral antifungals

Black fly bites are mostly confined to the abdomen region, are accompanied by other bites, will appear suddenly, and cause no problem to the dog.

On the other hand, ringworm, which can appear anywhere and usually starts in one area as opposed to several areas appearing at once, may or may not irritate your dog.

Small red bumps

Several different things can cause raised red bumps. Smaller, crusty bumps may be caused by a bacterial or fungal skin infection called folliculitis. This is treated by a veterinarian with oral antibiotics and with the help of medicated shampoos or ointments.

Large red bumps

Larger, flatter bumps without crusting may be hives caused by an allergic reaction. Antihistamine and/or steroids are usually used to treat them.

Redness/Irritated Skin

The most common signs of allergies in dogs are redness, irritation, and itching. The most effective way to treat the irritated skin is to know the cause of the allergic reaction, whether it’s to fleas, food, or anything in the environment.

Hot Spots

A hot spot is a moist, irritated area of skin that is usually covered by matted hair.Excessive licking or chewing of an area causes a hot spot. Excessive licking of traumatised skin allows bacteria to enter, resulting in a hot spot.

Careful clipping of the area to allow the skin to breathe and cleaning the area with a diluted chlorhexidine solution can be used to treat simple hotspots. Hot spots can be prevented by keeping your dog groomed and drying him after swimming or being in the rain.

Dry/Flaky Skin

Serious conditions like seborrhoea (a condition in which a dog produces too much sebum) or cheyletiellosis (a skin condition caused by a mite and also known as “walking dandruff”) can cause dry or flaky skin.

The presence of these flakes, however, does not always indicate seborrhea or chyletiellosis. These flakes can also simply be a sign of dry skin. Such dogs should be fed omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid-rich diets to keep their skin healthy.

Itchy Skin

Allergies and external parasites like fleas and mites are the two main causes of itchy skin.

Allergies

Allergies usually involve a dog’s feet, armpits, flank, ears, and groin, and they mainly cause itching. Less severe itchiness can be treated with a soothing dog shampoo containing oatmeal. A sensitive-skin diet (for example, one that includes a high amount of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and uses fish as the main protein source) can also help reduce allergy symptoms.

External Parasites

Itchiness at the base of the tail, on the stomach, and along the inner thighs is most commonly caused by fleas. Fleas and mites can cause itchiness, which will need to be treated with medications specific to the type of parasite, such as a flea preventative.

Hair Loss

There are many causes of hair loss, excessive shedding, or bald patches in dogs. Here are a few examples:

  • Allergies
  • Ectoparasites like fleas and mange mites cause demodectic mange.
  • Genetics
  • Stress
  • Poor nutrition
  • Large breed dogs show pressure sores that will cause hair loss at bony pressure spots like the elbow.

Black Spots

Dark spots are also known as hyperpigmentation. It can be secondary to chronic inflammation.In such cases, they can clear up, if the underlying condition is treated. A hormone-associated disorder can also cause dark spots in dogs,or  it can also be a sign of skin damage from the sun, trauma, or constant friction.

Types of dog skin diseases:

Let’s have a look at different types of dog skin diseases. Following are some of the important types of dog skin diseases:

Allergic Dermatitis

Allergic dermatitis refers to a skin condition caused by environmental and food allergens that leaves your dog with generalised itching and ear and skin infections.

Environmental allergic reactions are hypersensitivity precipitated when components in the air like pollen, grass, soil, residence dirt mites, or mold spores enter your pet’s body. Pet’s immune system canrecognise food as a threat and get defensive, which can lead to the development of a reaction. This reaction is known as a food allergy.  

Ringworm

Ringworm is an infection caused by a fungus called dermatophytosis. Infection can occur from direct contact with a symptomatic infected animal, contact with an asymptomatic carrier, or contact with spores in the environment. Fungus cannot infect healthy skin; therefore a dermatophyte can only attack freshly shaved, scraped, or scratched skin.

Yeast Infections

The skin of a dog hosts a large number of bacteria and fungi. Under normal conditions, the immune system keeps these organisms in check and prevents them from causing problems. Skin irritation and inflammation are caused by a yeast called Malassezia, which grows uncontrollably on the dog’s skin. Yeast infections are not communicable. Severely infected dog ears can also cause deafness.

Ectoparasitic Attacks

Ectoparasites feed and live on your pet’s body and can cause dangerous health effects. Lice on the skin of dogs feed on skin debris, blood, sebaceous secretions, or feathers.

Lupus

Lupus happens when the body’s immune gadget assaults its personal tissues and organs. It is an autoimmune disease. It is an autoimmune disease. The inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different areas of the body, including the skin, kidneys, blood cells, joints, brain, heart, and lungs.

Seborrhea

Keratin in the skin of a dog is affected by the condition known as seborrhea. Symptoms commonly develop on the back or feet, as well as inside pouches and skin folds, as the skin cells produce excessive keratinized material that causes dermatitis with flakes and scaling.

Pyoderma

A Superficial bacterial infection that affects hair follicles and the surrounding skin is known as pyoderma. Dog pyoderma is characterised by red bumps, flaky skin, hair loss, and discoloration.

Alopecia

Alopecia-hair loss or excessive shedding of hair- refers to thinning hair or hair loss spots. Alopecia may be accompanied by itching or inflammation. Skin infections, ectoparasites, or spider bites can cause alopecia.

Acral lick dermatitis

Bruises on the front part of the lower legs in dogs develop as a result of chronic and constant licking. Constant licking prevents healing hence over  time the skin of the affected area becomes red, raised, and thickened. Treatment may include prevention of licking, management of pain, and removal of any underlying cause.

Skin Tumors

Many kinds of skin growths, such as tumors, cysts, and bumps, can appear on the skin. These can be benign or malignant.

If your dog is showing any symptoms of the above skin problems, visit your vet and get a proper diagnosis on how to treat the dog’s skin infection.

Diagnosis and treatment for dog skin conditions

Symptoms for dermatitis, parasites, fungal infections, and bacterial infections can be very similar to one another, so diagnosis becomes very difficult. A vet will typically examine the dog’s skin and perform any necessary tests. Additionally, he/she will want to know any details you can recall that may have led to that specific skin issue. This can include the usage of any new products in your home, the shifting of the dog to a new place, or symptoms thatare observed at a certain time of day. 

Treatment options will depend on the skin condition from which the dog is suffering, but they can include topical ointments or sprays, special shampoos, supplements, or medications given by mouth or injection.
