What are the symptoms and prevention methods for dogs’ gastrointestinal bleeding? Come and find out
Gastric bleeding in dogs is an acute gastroenteritis syndrome, and the cause of it has not been clarified yet. The disease is characterized by sudden onset, rapid death, vomiting, diarrhea and glucopherol-like mucus-like blood stools.
Dogs of all ages and breeds can occur, and there is no gender difference, but it usually occurs in small purebred dogs aged 2 to 4.
Symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding in dogs:
Without any obvious inducing factors, the diseased dog suddenly develops vomiting, diarrhea, and loses weight quickly. Severe cases discharge jelly mucus and bloody stools. The blood is bright red or dark red, and there is a fishy smell. The diseased dog is depressed, has a waste of appetite, has a body dehydrated, and has a thick blood. If not treated in time, it often dies within 1 to 2 days due to blood circulation disorders and shock.
[Diagnosis] Based on the medical history and clinical symptoms, preliminary diagnosis can be made. In acute cases, due to dehydration and thick blood, the specific volume of red blood cells has significantly increased, usually greater than 60%, or even up to 80%, which is of great diagnostic reference significance. However, this disease should be different from canine parvovirus disease: (1) The feces are of different texture; (2) Canine parvovirus disease is highly contagious; (3) The body temperature should be increased infectious in dog infectious enteritis.
Treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding in dogs
1. Use Ringer's solution to rehydrate, and add 50% glucose to make it match at a concentration of 5%, and intravenously drip once a day. For diseases that are not serious about vomiting and have a desire to drink, they will take oral rehydration salt and let them drink it on their own. In cases with high hematocrit value, low molecular dextran solution can be intravenously injected at 20ml/kg to reduce the hematocrit value.
2. During the infusion process, cardiac enhancement drugs can be used to protect the heart, such as toxic K, 0.125~0.25 mg for the first time, add 40ml of glucose liquid to instillate, and repeat after 1 to 2 hours. Or 0.1 to 0.4g of sodium benzoate caffeine, intramuscular injection, or 1 to 2ml of Shengmai needle and VB120.5mg mixed with intramuscular injection.
3. Use VK11ml and VK32ml to inject mixed intramuscularly, and use 2ml hemostatic sensitivity or 1ml of Anluo blood twice a day. At the same time, use dexamethasone, 5-10mg per dog, and intramuscularly inject twice a day.
4. Control secondary infection of ampicillin 20mg/kg, intramuscular injection, kanamycin, 300,000 to 500,000, intramuscular injection, twice a day. You can also take oral berberine, 4 to 5 tablets each time, 3 to 4 times a day, and medimycin, 1 to 2 tablets each time, 2 to 3 times a day.
5. For cases with severe vomiting, VB62ml can be intramuscularly administered VB62ml, 0.5-2ml of Emore, twice a day. For cases with severe diarrhea, 0.3-0.9g of tannic acid protein, VB110mg, Vk42mg, fluoperic acid 20mg/kg, sodium bicarbonate 0.5g, and dosage once orally, 3 times a day, to achieve ideal results.
(1)Diagnosis: Acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis is an unknown syndrome in dogs. Its characteristics are sudden onset of the disease, vomiting, and severe cases of hemorrhagic diarrhea and obvious blood concentration. Acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis is not a true inflammatory disease. It lacks the lesions that are common inflammation and is essentially a functional intestinal disorder with altered mucosal permeability or secretion. Sick dogs often experience sudden vomiting, and after a few hours, severe bloody diarrhea and feces have foul smell. Depressed spirit, prolonged capillary filling time. The cause of the disease is often not found in the medical history. If not treated in time, they often die within a few hours due to circulatory failure and shock. If treatment is timely, the mortality rate is not high. The most diagnostic indicator of this disease is erythrocytic packing. The red blood cell pack of acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis is significantly increased (usually greater than 60%, and some can be as high as 80%), and bloody diarrhea with a foul smell occurs.
(2) Treatment: Acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis should be treated as acute. A large amount of infusion can prevent death. In the early stage, the isotonic saline is infusion, 2 parts of isotonic saline are infusions and 1 part isotonic glucose solution is added appropriately. 10% low-molecular dextran solution is best used for infusion using intravenous cannulation. Start rapid infusion at 90 ml per kilogram of body weight until capillaries are filled and restored to normal; when red blood cells rise to more than 50%, inject 40 to 60 ml per kilogram of body weight 24 hours later, and maintain the red blood cell packing below 50%. If there is shock and the response to intravenous infusion treatment is poor, corticosteroids can be considered. Feeding and drinking water should be prohibited for the first 24 hours. When vomiting and bloody stools stop, a small amount of light diet can be given. If this treatment is still ineffective after 24 hours, it should be considered whether it is caused by other diseases, such as canine parvovirus infection, intestinal intestinal intestinal torsion, etc.
