The cause of rheumatism is not yet known. But it is currently considered an autoimmune disease. That is, the hemolytic streptococci invading the body of a sick dog can cause the body to produce corresponding antibodies. When there are certain causes that cause streptococci to invade the human body again, the streptococci that invades the human body will be an antigenic substance.
binds to anti-streptococcus antibodies present in the body to form an antigen primary antibody complex, which can cause the occurrence of rheumatism. Wind-cold, dampness, coldness, rain, overwork, as well as pharyngitis, laryngitis, tonsillitis, etc. are all causes of rheumatism.
It is characterized by sudden onset of the disease, local redness and swelling, wandering and repeated attacks. Muscle rheumatism often occurs in the muscles of the shoulders, neck, back, waist and thrush. Swelling and painful muscle groups, and stiff muscles when touched can cause motor dysfunction and inflexible gait, but as the amount of exercise increases and the time increases.
The symptoms have been relieved or disappeared. From the perspective of the entire course of the disease, the affected area is characterized by wandering. The body temperature of the sick dog can rise by 1 to 1.5℃, and its breathing and pulse also change slightly. If the muscles of the whole body are rheumatoid, the dog will show stiff muscles of the whole body, difficulty walking, and often cannot get up.
often occurs in joints with high mobility, such as shoulder joints, elbow joints, hip joints, knee joints, etc. The diseased joint capsule and its surrounding tissues are edema, the joints are swollen, and there is heat and pain during palpation. The dog has difficulty lying up, shows limpness during exercise, and is strong in walking, especially when it is just early in the morning or when it is just standing up. However, with the increase in exercise and the increase in time, the symptoms of limpness can be relieved or disappeared. The diagnosis can be confirmed based on the medical history and the above symptoms.
The areas where eczema is prone to occur are the neck, dorsum, abdomen, tail root, around the scrotum, and between toes. The main symptom is inflammation of the skin surface. At the beginning of the disease, small papules with rice grains to millet can be seen in the affected area, and they quickly developed around them. The hair is messy and the affected area is itchy. The sick dog shows restlessness and keeps licking, scratching, biting or rubbing his breathing area, thereby aggravating local damage and infection.
There is yellow-red exudate on the surface of eczema, which forms sensual skin after drying. In severe cases, it can lead to large-scale necrosis and full-layer peeling of the skin. Sick dogs have a depression, a decrease in appetite or become discontinued, and have an increase in body temperature or die of sepsis. Eczema between the toes often fails to heal.
