Tuberburial disease in dogs is a variety of infectious diseases caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Canines are more susceptible to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
1. Causes of canine tuberculosis:
1. Mycobacterium tuberculosis includes bovine, human and avian types 3. Tuberculosis in dogs is mainly caused by human-type and bovine tuberculosis, and very few are caused by avian tuberculosis.
2. Dogs can be confused through the digestive tract and respiratory tract. Sick dogs can excrete pathogens with sputum, feces, urine, and skin lesions throughout the disease period. Therefore, it poses a great threat to people.
3. Mycobacterium tuberculosis has strong resistance to the external environment, especially to dry and wet and cold tuberculosis, and weak resistance to high temperatures. It can be killed in 30 minutes at 60 degrees Celsius. Commonly used disinfectants take 4 hours to kill them. 70% alcohol, 10% bleach solution, sodium hypochlorite, etc. all have reliable disinfection effects.
2. Clinical characteristics of canine tuberculosis:
Clinical characteristics: Tuberculosis dogs often lack obvious clinical manifestations and characteristic symptoms, but they are gradually thin, weak, prone to fatigue and cough (dry cough or pus sputum).
1. During intestinal tuberculosis, repeated diarrhea occurs and significantly reduces appetite. Lymph tuberculosis is characterized by superficial lymph node enlargement.
2. When tuberculosis swells in mesenteric lymph nodes occur, it can seriously affect digestion.
3. Skin tuberculosis in dogs occurs more often in the throat and neck, and the appearance of the lesion is granulation tissue-like ulcer with distorted edges.
3. Preventive measures for canine tuberculosis bacteria:
1. Dogs that need treatment should be treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs under isolation conditions, such as 4~8 mg/kg of body weight, 2~3 times a day; rifampin 10~20 mg/kg of body weight, 2~3 times a day.
2. Tuberculosis quarantine should be carried out regularly at breeding dogs and domestic breeding dogs. Dogs with open tuberculosis should be eliminated immediately. Tuberculin-positive dogs should also be eliminated in time, except for a few precious breeds, and should never be raised in groups with healthy dogs.
3. Strict disinfection of kennels and places where dogs often move. Tuberculosis patients are strictly prohibited from feeding and managing dogs.
