Swollen lymph nodes and bleeding. Respiratory cases can be seen in lung enlargement, congestion, bronchial lymph node hemorrhage, tonsil enlargement, hemorrhage and other changes.

According to the above characteristics, it is not difficult to diagnose. Since the virus has the ability to agglutinate human type 0 red blood cells, chicken and guinea pig red blood cells, hemagglutination and hemagglutination inhibition tests can be performed where conditions permit. In the diagnosis, attention should be paid to the distinction between canine distemper and canine leptospirosis.

Canine infectious hepatitis is mainly manifested as blue cornea, jaundice, anemia, etc. Laboratory examination can observe the dog's blood changes, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, specific volume decreased, and leukopenia. Since the treatment of canine infectious hepatitis is more complicated, the owner should seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the dog's condition.

We should strengthen feeding management and strict veterinary hygiene comprehensive prevention measures. Get regular immunizations. Commonly used vaccines are canine infectious hepatitis attenuated vaccine. After weaning, each dog is injected subcutaneously with 1.5ml, and 2ml is injected every 3 to 4 weeks. After that, inject once every six months, 2ml each time. The immunization period is half a year. This vaccine should not be used in the event of an outbreak. There are also canine infectious hepatitis and canine parvovirus enteritis dual vaccine and canine penta vaccine. In order to relieve the condition of the dog after the onset of the disease, the canine infectious hepatitis hyperimmune serum can be used to control the infection. Each dog is injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly at 2m1 per kilogram of body weight for 3 days. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are available to prevent secondary infections. It is also necessary to take appropriate symptomatic and systemic therapy for the symptoms of sick dogs. For example, to protect the liver and gallbladder, Gantaile tablets can be taken orally. In order to improve the general condition and improve the body's resistance, it can be infused with a variety of vitamin preparations. Dogs with no possibility of cure should be immediately culled, eliminated, and treated harmlessly. The polluted environment can be disinfected with 3% formalin, caustic soda water, sodium hypochlorite or 0.3% peracetic acid.

Canine Infectious Hepatitis An acute septicemic infectious disease in dogs, mainly destroying the center of hepatic lobules, inclusion bodies in hepatocytes and cortical nuclei, and prolonged coagulation time . Canine infectious hepatitis is mainly infected through the digestive tract, and puppies from 2 months to one year old are more susceptible to infection. So what problems should a dog infected with the disease pay attention to when treating it so that the dog can get better faster?

1. Canine infectious crotitis is caused by canine infectious hepatitis virus through the digestive tract Pathway infection has the characteristics of wide prevalence, rapid spread and high morbidity. Therefore, sick dogs should be isolated in time to prevent the spread of epidemic sources.

2. Strengthen the feeding and management of sick dogs, and engage in sanitation and disinfection of the surrounding environment.

3. Formulate immunization programs, prepare vaccinations, and improve the body's immunity. At present, the canine distemper (detailed introduction) double vaccine and the canine distemper five vaccine are widely used.

4. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of sick dogs can reduce death or corneal damage and improve the cure rate. For the late discovery and corneal damage, the dog should be given mental comfort, encouraged to take medicine, and its confidence in restoring light should be improved.
