Protecting Your Pup: Canine Distemper
Canine distemper is a highly contagious and potentially fatal viral disease caused by the Canine Distemper Virus (CDV), a member of the Paramyxoviridae family. Despite advances in vaccination, this disease remains a significant threat, particularly in unvaccinated dogs and wildlife populations such as foxes, wolves, raccoons, and skunks. Pathogenesis CDV primarily targets the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and central nervous systems. After initial infection through respiratory droplets, the virus replicates in the lymphatic tissue of the respiratory tract, leading to viremia. If the immune response is insufficient, the virus spreads to epithelial and nervous tissues, causing multisystemic disease. Clinical Signs The clinical presentation of canine distemper can vary widely depending on the stage of infection and the systems affected. Common signs include: Respiratory: Nasal discharge, coughing, and pneumonia. Gastrointestinal: Vomiting and diarrhea. Neurological: Seizures, ataxia, myoclonus (involuntary muscle contractions), and behavioral changes. Dermatological: Hyperkeratosis of the footpads and nasal planum (“hard pad disease”). Some dogs may show mild signs, while others progress to severe systemic involvement. The neurological signs can appear weeks to months after recovery from the initial illness. Diagnosis Accurate diagnosis requires a combination of history, clinical signs, and laboratory testing: History: Exposure to unvaccinated or infected dogs. Imaging: Chest radiographs may reveal signs of pneumonia. Laboratory Tests: PCR testing of swabs (conjunctival, nasal, or throat). Rapid Test for CDV-specific antibodies/antigens. Cytology: Detection of inclusion bodies in epithelial cells or blood smears. Treatment There is no specific antiviral therapy for CDV. Treatment focuses on supportive care: Fluid Therapy: To correct dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Antibiotics: To prevent or treat secondary bacterial infections. Anticonvulsants: For managing seizures. Nutritional Support: To counteract anorexia and weight loss. Prognosis varies; dogs with mild respiratory or gastrointestinal signs may recover, while those with severe neurological involvement often have a guarded to poor prognosis. Prevention and Control Prevention primarily involves vaccination, which is highly effective and essential for puppies and unvaccinated dogs. Puppies should receive their first distemper vaccine at 6-8 weeks of age, followed by booster shots according to veterinary recommendations. Controlling the spread includes isolating infected animals, maintaining hygiene in kennels and communal spaces, and avoiding contact between unvaccinated pets and potentially infected animals. Public awareness and regular veterinary check-ups are key to reducing outbreaks and safeguarding canine health.

Protecting Dogs from the Threat of Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic bacterial disease caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira. It affects a wide range of mammals, including domestic animals, wildlife, and humans. Leptospira are aerobic, gram-negative spirochetes characterized by their corkscrew-like motility. These bacteria are slow-growing and can survive for weeks to months in warm, moist environments such as urine-soaked soil or stagnant water. Leptospirosis is primarily spread through the urine of infected animals, particularly rodents, but dogs and other animals can also serve as carriers. Infected dogs may appear healthy while still shedding the bacteria in their urine, posing a risk to other animals and humans. · How Dogs Become Infected Dogs typically become infected when Leptospira bacteria enter the body through mucous membranes (Ex: mouth, nose, or eyes) or broken skin, such as cuts or scrapes. Common modes of transmission include: Direct Exposure: Contact with urine, contaminated water, or infected tissues. Environmental Contamination: Urine-soaked soil, food, bedding, or stagnant water sources. Rare Occurrences: Bacteria may also be spread through breeding, bites from infected animals, or transplacental from an infected mother dog to her puppies. · Clinical Signs of Leptospirosis in Dogs Leptospirosis can cause a range of clinical signs, varying from mild to severe. Common symptoms include: Loss of appetite Vomiting Lethargy Abdominal pain Diarrhea Jaundice (yellowing of the skin, gums, or eyes) Dehydration Polyuria, oliguria, hematuria or anuria. Epistaxis, melena, and hematemesis Weight loss Stiffness or muscle pain If left untreated, leptospirosis can progress to severe, life-threatening conditions such as: Kidney Failure: chronic kidney disease, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, renal tubular acidosis Liver Failure: Elevated ALP, ALT, bilirubin. Severe Lung Disease: Pulmonary hemorrhage. Bleeding Disorders: melena, hematuria, epistaxis, hematemesis and petechial hemmorhage on gums, mucous membranes. · Prevention for Leptospirosis Preventing leptospirosis in dogs requires reducing their exposure to Leptospira bacteria and implementing effective preventive strategies, such as: Leptospira vaccination. Limit exposure to risky environments such as stagnant or slow- moving water (ponds, lakes) and contact with wildlife, especially in high-risk areas. Control Rodent Populations as rodents are the primary carriers of Leptospira Clean and disinfect areas where dogs may have contact with urine, especially in kennels, dog parks, or multi-dog households. Regular veterinary check-ups help identify early signs of leptospirosis and ensure prompt treatment if infection occurs.

Happy Learning! Border Collie: Breeds and their Health Issues Photo credit: https://www.britannica.com/animal/border-collie The classic working farm dog, the Border Collie originated in the border country between Scotland and England. Farmers bred their own individual varieties of sheepdogs for the hilly area. As Borders often tended their flock alone, they had to think independently and be able to run around 50 miles a day in hilly country. Considered highly intelligent, extremely energetic, acrobatic and athletic, they frequently compete with great success in sheepdog trials and dog sports. They are often cited as the most intelligent of all domestic dogs. Border Collies continue to be employed in their traditional work of herding livestock throughout the world and are kept as pets. Border collies are active, working dogs best suited to country living. If confined without activity and company, these dogs can become unhappy and destructive. The breed is highly intelligent, learns quickly and responds well to praise. Border collies are extremely energetic dogs and must have the opportunity to get lots of exercise. They love to run. They also need ample attention from their owners and a job to do, whether that be herding livestock or fetching a ball. They should be socialized well from the time they are young to prevent shyness around strangers, and they should have obedience training, which can help deter nipping behavior and a tendency to run off or chase cars. Below we resume some important diseases more common in your Border Collie. Dental Disease Dental disease is the most common chronic problem in pets affecting 80% of all dogs by age two. Unfortunately, your Border Collie is more likely than other dogs to have problems with her teeth. Dental disease starts with tartar build-up on the teeth and progresses to infection of the gums and roots of the teeth. If we don’t prevent or treat dental disease, your buddy may lose her teeth and be in danger of damaging her kidneys, liver, heart, and joints. In fact, your Border Collie’s life span may even be cut short by one to three years! Cancer Cancer is a leading cause of death in older dogs. Your Collie will likely live longer than many other breeds and therefore is more prone to get cancer in his golden years. Many cancers are curable by surgical removal, and some types are treatable with chemotherapy. Early detection is critical! Multidrug Resistance Multidrug resistance is a genetic defect in a gene called MDR1. If your Border Collie has this mutation, it can affect the way his body processes different drugs, including substances commonly used to treat parasites, diarrhea, and even cancer. For years, veterinarians simply avoided using ivermectin in herding breeds, but now there is a DNA test that can specifically identify dogs who are at risk for side effects from certain medications. Testing your pet early in life can prevent drug-related toxicity. Neurological disorders Although the Border Collie is generally a breed noted for its vitality, they are unfortunately prone to canine epilepsy, a neurological disorder that is the result of an irregular neuroelectric activity. Signs of idiopathic epilepsy include seizures in the form of spasms, twitching, convulsions, and in extreme cases, a loss of consciousness. Idiopathic epilepsy is the most common form of the disease seen in Border Collies. A hereditary condition, IE is usually observed between 6 months and 5 years of age. Heart disorders A congenital heart disease, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), is a common genetic defect that Border Collies are sadly predisposed to. PDA is a hereditary abnormality commonly observed in dogs. This heart disease typically leads to an overload of blood on the left side of the heart. In severe cases, it may lead to heart failure and death. Hormonal disorders Another inherited disease that Border Collies are unfortunately subjected to include hypothyroidism, a condition that disrupts the normal production of hormones. You may observe varying signs in a dog affected by this condition, including inactivity or lethargy, weight gain, and hair loss. Once your vet has run a series of tests, if the dog has
