TREATMENT OF SEVERE PARVOVIRAL ENTERITIS COMPLICATED WITH ASSOCIATIONS OF POTENTIALLY PATHOGENIC BACTERIA IN DOGS

Abstract

Parvoviral enteritis is one of the most dangerous infections in dogs with so far insufficiently studied microbiocenosis, characteristics of epizootic process, pathogenesis, and ways of treatment in dogs infected with parvoviral enteritis complicated with associations of potentially pathogenic bacteria. The purpose of this research was to work out and assess efficacy of treatment in dogs with severe parvoviral enteritis complicated with associated potentially pathogenic bacteria. Treatment efficacy was assessed in two stages in 7 dogs with parvoviral enteritis complicated with associated potentially pathogenic bacteria. The first stage was in studying general clinical, biochemical, and immunological properties in infected animals at the point of treatment assignment; the second stage involved the same tests taken 14 days later. Comparative analysis of the test results was carried out. Positive dynamics was detected in dogs in the course of the treatment manifested with improved general clinical condition, lower body temperature, cessation of vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal bleeding, intoxication and dehydration syndromes, improved level of blood hemoglobin concentration, total blood protein, albumins, urea, creatinine, total bilirubin, circulating immune complexes, activity of alanine and asparagine aminotransferases, blood serum .-amylase, erythrocytes, leucocytes, T- and B- lymphocytes, O-cells, and T-helpers
