Vaginitis
in the dog is inflammation of the vaginal mucosa caused by the introduction of
a pathogenic infectious agent. Often cause pathology and disease-causing
microorganisms that form part of the natural bacteria of the genitals. The
increase in the number of disease-causing microorganisms and their transmission
to pathogens occurs on the back of a decrease in the body's defenses.
Causes of Pathology
In
addition to the imbalance of microorganisms resulting from reduced immunity
(read how to improve immunity in dogs), the following factors can cause
vaginitis in dogs:
·
Hormonal imbalance.
·
Violation of metabolic
processes.
·
Previous infectious diseases.
·
Vaginal infections during
mating or puppy.
·
Infection with STIs.
·
Pots of chronic infection in
the body.
·
Violation of conditions of
detention and nutrition.
·
Use of aggressive drugs.
·
Stress.
Symptoms of vaginitis in the dog
The
inflammatory process continues with swelling and redness of the mucosa.
Sometimes inflammation is accompanied by fever, general weakness and loss of
appetite in the dog. These symptoms are usually caused by an adherent secondary
infection or progressive infection involving the internal organs of the
reproductive system and urinary system.
Treatment of vaginitis in dogs
Self-treatment
or attempts to treat dog diseases cannot be accepted by popular methods,
because progressive vaginitis can lead to infertility, infection with other
members of the reproductive system and, in severe cases, death of a pet. In the
first signs of the disease, you should contact your veterinarian, because the
sooner you start treatment, the more successful the result.
Best
treatment for serotonin or hemorrhagic vaginitis. In this case, pathological
therapy can dispense with the use of antibiotics. It is recommended to wash
with weak solutions of disinfectant - Miramistin, Furacilin, pink potassium
permanganate solution, 0.9% sodium chloride solution.
For
local treatment using an ointment. Using a sterile spatula or spoon, ointments
are applied to inflamed mucous rings: Oxycort, Sintomycin, Streptocid,
Prednisolone. In the complex treatment of vaginitis, treatment with medicinal
herbs is permitted - roots such as Kalamus, cactus juice, renica flower, tar
solution, etc.
Acute
forms of acute vaginitis should be treated only after smear analysis to
establish infectious pathogens. In the case of laryngeal vaginitis, antibiotics
are prescribed from the appropriate category. When attaching a secondary
infection or a combination of several types of pathogens, antibiotics are
described as broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs.
Disease prevention
To
maintain body defenses after treatment and prevent recurrence, it is
recommended that:
·
Compliance with hygiene and
hygiene rules for pets.
·
To give balanced and rich in
vitamins and trace nutrients.
·
Time of vaccination.
·
Only mating with healthy males
and having female physiological maturation.
·
Sterilize the infection foci
in a timely manner in the body.
·
Vaginitis can be a long
treatment, but if recommendations and preventive measures are followed, the
disease can be treated in full.
