|
what is Animal Husbandry?
|
the science of breeding and caring for animals
|
general health : vaccines, food types, grooming, diseases, parasites etc.
|
|
|
modified live virus
MLV |
vaccines that contain the virus that is alive and will replicate when in a dog, but has been modified so it shouldn't cause the actual disease
|
|
|
|
recombinant vaccines
|
*newest productions in rapidly emerging biotechnology market*
relies on the ability to splice gene-sized fragments of DNA from one organism (bacteria/virus) and to deliver these fragments to another organism (the dog) |
|
|
|
live vectored version
|
genes from the canine antigene may be put into a noninfectious virus. Antibodies are stimulated not replicated.
|
|
|
|
subunit vaccinations
|
stimulate immunity to a part of the antigen of an infectious organism.
they're set up to provide the most immunity for the least amount of the antigen used. |
|
|
|
DNA vaccinations
|
**currently experimental (with dogs)**
only a small amount of the DNA from the infectious agent is used |
|
|
|
combination vaccinations
|
meaning a vaccine includes antigens for several diseases
|
AKA : multi-vaccines
EX : 1) DHPP/DH2PP -- distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza 2) DHPPL -- add "leptospirosis" to the list above |
|
|
core vaccinations
|
1) rabies
2) infectious hepatitis 3) canine parvovirus 4) canine distemper |
four required vaccines
|
|
|
NONcore vaccinations
|
1) Lyme disease
2) bordetella 3) canine parainfluenza 4) leptospirosis bacterin |
four NONcore vaccinations
|
|
|
NOT recommended vaccinations
|
1) coronavirus
2) giardia 3) porphyromonas |
three vaccines that are not recommended
|
|
|
viral diseases
|
virus and disease causing organisms that are even more basic than cells
|
simple packages of protein
|
|
|
distemper
|
infected animals shed the virus in all the body secretions
most common way to get it is when an infected dog exhales the germs |
viral disease, HIGHLY contagious
|
|
|
parvovirus
|
spread by the stool of an infected dog
often times when a dog has eaten the infected stool is how they get it |
viral disease
|
|
|
fungal diseases
|
diseases that live in "organic places"
|
disease lives in mushrooms, soil, etc
|
|
|
valley fever
|
infection is spread by inhaling the disease spores
|
fungal disease
AKA: coccidioidomycosis |
|
|
protozoan diseases
|
protozoa are one celled animals that are not visible to the naked eye
|
typically carried by water
|
|
|
giardiasis
|
disease is acquired by drinking water from a stream
|
protozoan disease
|
|
|
rickettsial disease
|
causing parasites that are carried by fleas, lice and ticks
|
comes in various forms
|
|
|
hookworms
|
*prevalent in high temperature / humidity areas
*small, thin worms, about 1/4 - 1/2 inches long *fasten their mouth to the intestine, from there they suck blood and tissue fluids from the host 1. migration through placenta 2. ingesting larvae from mother 3. ingesting through soil 4. direct penetration of skin (pads/feet) 5. ingesting an intermediate host |
five ways of getting it.
|
|
|
roundworms
|
*most common parasite in dogs and cats
*can live in stomach and intestines and grow up to 7" long *eggs protected by a hard shell *extremely "hardy" can live in soil for months or years 1. penatal infection occurs when larvae migrate the placenta almost ALL puppies are infected this way after birth 2. mothers milk 3. infected soil 4. can ingest eggs by eating soil |
can get this four ways
|
|
|
tapeworm
|
* live in small intestine
* vary from less than an inch to several feet long * head of the worm fastens to the gut by hooks and suckers * to destroy tapeworms the head must be destroyed * segments containing eggs are passed in feces |
when fresh they can move, you !at see them crawling near your dogs anus _resembles rice when dry_
|
|
|
whipworms
|
* adult whipworms are 2-3 inches
* lives for the most part in the large intestine where it fastens to the gut |
thread-like for the most part, thick on the end
|
|
|
puppy nutrition
|
NEED more calories and essential nutrients
puppies UNDER 6 months should have three to four meals a day |
|
