Staphylococcus aureus is an infectious disease that affects not only humans, but also animals, such as dogs. This infection is caused by staphylococcus bacteria. In dogs, this disease is characterized by dermatitis, otitis media and diseases of the genital organs.
Instructions
Step 1
In dogs, there are two forms of this disease. In the first case, staphylococcus aureus is a secondary infection: the course of previously developed dermatitis is complicated. In the second case, staphylococcus aureus is an independent and generalized disease. If you do not start to fight the secondary infection in time, it will turn into a generalized one. The reasons why Staphylococcus aureus occurs in dogs can be different: weakened immunity, massive infection of animals, etc.
Step 2
The factors that provoke this disease in dogs include the following. The animal may have congenital or acquired immunodeficiencies. The dog may have impaired carbohydrate metabolism. In addition, it may be due to a hormonal imbalance: the level of thyroid hormones may decrease, and the level of corticosteroid hormones may rise. Often, staphylococcus aureus develops due to general toxicosis (food poisoning, impaired liver and kidney function). Sometimes the dog's body is simply unable to adequately respond to staphylococcal toxins, i.e. has a low resistance to infections.
Step 3
Treatment of staphylococcus in dogs must be comprehensive and include both local and general therapy. The most common type of this disease in dogs is Staphylococcus aureus. It (like other types of staphylococcus) must be treated with the drug ASP, as well as staphylococcal toxoid and staphylococcal antifagin. Veterinarians advise using special serums in the treatment of this disease in dogs: antistaphylococcal, hyperimmune, and also do not forget about immunoglobulin.
Step 4
It is worth noting that the use of immunostimulants for dogs shows excellent results. In addition, the veterinarian will definitely prescribe the use of antibiotics. Currently, a good drug called "Bacteriophage" has appeared on the pharmaceutical market. The principle of its action is as follows: the composition of this drug contains a virus-like living structure, which kills staphylococcus aureus in dogs.
