Canine distemper is a wide-spread, often
fatal disease affecting the respiratory and nervous systems.
Adenovirus type-2 is often a component
in upper respiratory disease. Adenovirus
type-1 may cause
severe kidney
damage or death. Adenovirus
type-2 is an important component in canine cough.
Canine parainfluenza is another cause of canine cough.
This disease is easily spread to other pets. It can cause
a severe infection
in puppies or debilitated dogs.
Canine parvovirus affects the intestines and bone marrow
often causing severe dehydrating diarrhea and the inability
to fight infection. This disease is widespread and can
be especially dangerous for young puppies.
Canine leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that can
lead to kidney and liver damage. This disease is easily
spread to other pets and humans.
Canine coronavirus infection is a highly contagious
disease causing vomiting and diarrhea in dogs of all
ages.
Canine bordetella is
a bacterial infection. It is highly contagious and can
occur alone or in conjunction with parainfluenza, adenovirus
type-2, and other respiratory problems.
Lyme's disease is a bacterial infection transmitted
by ticks. The disease often causes a fever, joints to
be painful, and platelet numbers to drop. Dogs that spend
any time outside, especially in grassy or wooded areas
should be protected.
Rabies is one of the world's most publicized and feared
diseases. It is caused by a virus and this disease is
almost always fatal. It affects the nervous system and
is transmissible to humans, usually through the bite
of an affected animal.
