THE IMPORTANCE OF DOGS VACCINATION
Paws Vaccination is a very essential and responsible step towards your pets. Vaccination prevents your dog from highly contagious diseases like Rabies, Distemper and Parvovirus etc. Basically there are 12 types of diseases which can be preventing through Vaccination and De-worming.
a.) Rabies( This even can spread in human)
b.) Canine Parvovirus infection (“ Parvo”)
c.) Canine Distemper.
d.) Leptospirosis
e.) Canine adenovirus-2
f.) Canine corona virus
g.) Canine parainfluenza
h.) Canine influenza
i.) Lyme Disease
j.) Bordetellosis (“ Kennel Cough”)
k.) Heart Worm Disease
l.) Intestinal Worm (Round Worm, Hook worm, Whip worm, Tape worm etc. Can also spread in Humans.)
Recommended Core Dog Vaccines
· Parvovirus: - Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV2, colloquially parvo) is a contagious virus mainly affecting dogs. The disease is highly contagious and can spread from dog to dog by direct or indirect contact with their feces. It can be found especially severe in puppies that are not protected by maternal antibodies or vaccination. It has two distinct presentations, a cardiac and intestinal form. The vaccination is the only way to protect your adorable pets from this harmful virus. This virus usually attacks the intestine and causes severe Diarrhea, vomiting which can lead to the death. Mainly Doberman pinscher and Rottweiler’s are high risk breeds for parvovirus.
· Rabies: - Rabies Vaccination is the only way to prevent your dog from this painful and dangerous disease called “Rabies”. It is a serious viral disease which affects the nervous system of your pets which leads to death. Rabies can be spread through the bites from an infected animal. The rabies virus is transmitted through the saliva of an infected mammal, or host. Contact with the eyes, nose or mouth can technically pass on the virus, but these instances are rare. A bite from the host is the most likely and common way for an animal or person to contract rabies. The infected saliva travels through the nerves and spinal cord towards the brain. The virus then incubates in the body for 3 to 8 weeks (depending on species), with no symptoms of the disease present. Once the brain is infected by rabies, the virus multiplies and spreads to the salivary glands and the symptoms of rabies appear.
· Symptoms of Rabies: - Rabies symptoms vary, so in that case every dog may not show all the signs. Initial signs include behavior and personality changes, fearfulness, anxiety, shyness, withdrawal from people and other animals, and licking the site of the original bite wound. Deeper signs are restlessness, agitation and over reaction to sights and sounds. Your pet may also experience the paralysis in the head and neck area. This causes inability to swallow, resulting in excess salivation, or "foaming at the mouth," and respiratory distress. Sadly, causes painful death.
Distemper: - Canine distemper is a large virus related to the virus causing measles in man. It is a morbillivirus virus (this group of viruses also includes measles and seal distemper). Some strains of the virus may be more pathogenic than others. However, vaccination offers protection against all strains. The early signs of disease are primarily respiratory with runny eyes and nose, and coughing. This is followed by depression, loss of appetite, vomiting and subsequently diarrhea. In the later stages of the disease, dogs may develop thickening of the foot pads, known as ‘hard pad’, and nose. Dogs which survive may go on to show serious neurological signs including seizures (fits). There is no specific treatment for canine distemper, The best form of protection against this virus is through vaccination.
