Description
Canine toxoplasmosis refers to a protozoan infectious disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii, most commonly seen in puppies, and the relevant personnel should conduct a comprehensive analysis of the diagnosis and treatment of canine toxoplasmosis to help ensure the health of dogs.
Clinical symptoms
As different dogs have different physical qualities and adaptability, the clinical symptoms of toxoplasmosis in pet dogs are also somewhat different. Generally speaking, the acute symptoms are more significant in young dogs and youth dogs, while adult dogs are mostly hidden carriers.
Clinical symptoms of acute toxoplasmosis include depression, loss of appetite, fever, discharge from the eyes and nose, accompanied by coughing and breathlessness. In addition, dogs with more severe symptoms may have haemorrhagic diarrhoea or even ataxia leading to death.
Toxoplasmosis in female dogs of childbearing age may lead to abortion and stillbirth.
Transmission route
At this stage, research indicates that the transmission route of toxoplasmosis in pet dogs is mainly through infective hides egg sacs. Since the transmission of toxoplasmosis requires an intermediate host and a final host, i.e. cats, Toxoplasma gondii will proliferate and reproduce in the small intestine of the cat host and form hides oocysts, which will be excreted with the cat faeces.
