Symptoms of Canine Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis is a serious dog disease caused by Leptospira bacteria - also called infectious jaundice or hemorrhagic jaundice - that spreads through skin, mucus membranes, and contaminated food or water, often peaking in summer and early autumn. Two forms stand out: one brings sudden fever, vomiting, dark bile-colored urine, yellow gums, and bleeding, while the other causes vomiting and bloody diarrhea with mouth ulcers and a death rate of 60-80 percent in acute cases. Diagnosis uses microscopy, culture, and blood tests, and treatment pairs antibiotics with liver and fluid support. Clean housing, rodent control, quarantine, and the two-type vaccine are the key preventives.
What Is Canine Salmonellosis
Canine salmonellosis is a group of infections caused by bacteria of the Salmonella genus, which can affect both dogs and people. Dogs pick it up from sick animals, contaminated food and water, or even healthy-looking carrier dogs, and the illness ranges from silent carriage to severe, life-threatening septicemia in young puppies. Signs include fever, vomiting, watery or bloody diarrhea, and rapid dehydration. Diagnosis relies on culture and identification of the bacteria from stool or organs, and treatment pairs antibacterial drugs with fluid and symptom support. Careful food handling and a clean environment are the cornerstones of prevention.
