Study Notes
Canine and Feline Immunizations Overview
- Canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1) affects dogs of all ages, with young dogs being most commonly affected.
- CAV-1 vaccines are no longer used due to causing renal/ocular diseases in some animals, while CAV-2 rarely caused side effects and protects against both CAV-1 & CAV-2.
- Canine parvovirus (CPV) causes parvoviral enteritis, a serious and highly contagious disease, with CPV-2a/CPV-2b shed in feces and spread through fecal-oral transmission.
- Clinical signs of CPV include diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, leukopenia, and fever, with all ages susceptible but young dogs at highest risk.
- Canine parainfluenza (CPiV) is one of the causes of canine infectious tracheobronchitis (kennel cough complex), with the main clinical sign being a self-limiting cough.
- Leptospirosis, caused by bacteria Leptospira, is zoonotic and transmitted through exposure to contaminated water, food, soil, bedding, bite wounds, and direct contact with contaminated urine.
- Bordetella bronchiseptica is one of the primary causes of kennel cough complex, transmitted via airborne contact or direct dog-to-dog contact, and easily spread in highly populated areas like boarding kennels and shelters.
- Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, is spread by ticks and has clinical signs such as fever, polyarthritis, and protein-losing glomerulopathy.
- Canine influenza, caused by H3N2 and H3N8, presents with clinical signs of upper respiratory disease, cough, fever, nasal discharge, and a small percentage of dogs developing secondary pneumonia.
- Canine coronavirus causes infectious enteritis and is highly contagious through fecal-oral transmission, with clinical signs including diarrhea, decreased appetite, lethargy, and vomiting in young animals.
- Rabies is a core feline immunization due to being zoonotic and caused by a rhabdovirus (lyssavirus), with injectable adjuvanted killed virus being required by law.
- Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) and feline calicivirus (FCV) are core feline immunizations, causing viral tracheitis and upper respiratory disease, with clinical signs including sneezing, ocular/nasal discharge, fever, oral ulcerations, and joint pain.
