  • Review of Treatment of Generalised Tetanus in Dogs
    Review of treatment of generalised REVIEW tetanus in dogs Fawcett A*a,b, Irwin Pc *Corresponding author aFaculty of Veterinary Science, University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales 2006, Australia; [email protected] bSydney Animal Hospitals Inner West, 1A Northumberland Avenue, Stanmore, New South Wales 2048, Australia cCollege of Veterinary Medicine, School of Veterinary and Life Sciences, Murdoch University, Murdoch, Western Australia 6150, Australia ABSTRACT This review paper investigates the published evidence for various therapeutic strategies commonly used in the management of generalised tetanus in dogs and cats. The level of the evidence for the efficacy of tetanus antitoxin administration, antimicrobial therapy, wound management and immunotherapy in companion animals was low, review articles citing case reports and small case series, rather than case-control, cohort studies or clinical trials. Untested extrapolation from published data on the treatment of people with tetanus frequently directs recommendations made for the management of tetanus in dogs and cats. There is a need for further studies and evidence-based guidelines for treatment of this condition in dogs and cats. Until then, clinical judgement is required by the veterinarian to determine appropriate treatment. Supportive care remains the mainstay of treatment.

The study determined anti-CAV antibodies within ≤ 28 days of re-vaccination and factors associated with the absence of antibodies and vaccination response. Methods: Ninety-seven healthy adult dogs (last vaccination 12 months) were re-vaccinated ≥ with a modified live CAV-2 vaccine. Anti-CAV antibodies were measured before vaccination (day 0), and after re-vaccination (day 7, 28) by virus neutralization. A 4-fold titer increase was defined ≥ as vaccination response. Fisher’s exact test and multivariate regression analysis were performed to determine factors associated with the absence of antibodies and vaccination response. Results: Totally, 87% of dogs (90/97; 95% CI: 85.61–96.70) had anti-CAV antibodies ( 10) before re-vaccination.

Animals with respiratory distress are stressed which makes most diagnostic procedures impossible or counter-productive. By lo- calising the respiratory problem using the initial clinical exam of the animal, the clinician can narrow down the causes of respiratory distress. Looking at the type of breathing, type of dyspnoea and using auscultation findings and information from the history, the problem can be localised, limiting possible differential diagnoses. This allows institution of not only supportive measures such as oxygen supple- mentation, stress-free handling or analgesia but also a more specific therapy of the problem causing respiratory distress. The stabilised animal can then undergo further diagnostic procedures and receive specific treatment.

  • Coronaviruses in Domestic Species (Updated February 18, 2020)
    Coronaviruses in domestic species (Updated February 18, 2020) Note The WHO, FAO, and CDC indicate that pets and other domestic animals are not considered at risk for contacting COVID-19 or transmitting the virus that causes COVID-19 (also known as 2019-nCoV). The USDA has recently commented on the impact of COVID-19 on U.S. agricultural trade. Taxonomy • The Coronaviridae family gets its name, in part, because the virus surface is surrounded by a ring of projecting proteins that appear like a solar corona when viewed through an electron microscope. • The main Coronaviridae subfamily is subdivided into alpha- (formerly referred to as type 1 or phylogroup 1), beta- (formerly referred to as type 2 or phylogroup 2), delta-, and gammacoronavirus genera. • Coronaviruses have been isolated from dogs, cats, horses, cattle, swine, chickens, turkeys, and humans with clinical signs of disease. Most of these diseases are gastrointestinal or respiratory, but encephalomyelitis has been reported as occurring in pigs. A brief summary of these diseases by species can be found below the table.

The principle of preventive vaccination has been adopted for strategies of oral rabies vaccination (ORV) of wildlife reservoir populations for decades to control circulation of rabies virus in free-ranging hosts. There remains much debate about the levels of rabies antibodies (and the assays to measure them) that confer resistance to rabies virus. In this paper, data from published literature and our own unpublished animal studies on the induction of rabies binding and neutralizing antibodies following oral immunization of animals with live attenuated or recombinant rabies vaccines, are examined as correlates of protection against lethal rabies infection in captive challenge settings.

  • Canine Nomograph Evaluation Improves Puppy Immunization
    Canine nomograph evaluation improves puppy immunization Laurie Larson, Bliss Thiel, Vanessa Santana, Ronald Schultz Companion Animal Vaccine and Immuno Diagnostics Service Laboratory Department of Pathobiological Sciences University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine Madison, WI Abstract Immunization failure in puppies by modified live vaccines for canine distemper virus and canine parvovirus can occur due to interference from maternally derived antibody. Quantitative measurement of specific antibody (via half-life degradation analysis; nomograph) is available to determine passive transfer from dam. Nomograph enables vaccination timing and followup titer testing tailored for each litter. Objective was to evaluate effectiveness of this approach and use of a nomograph. Puppies (506 puppies < 1 year) that had nomograph completed for their dam were not different in protection rate compared to vaccinated adults and were proven immune at 15.9 weeks. A cohort of similar puppies at 21.6 weeks that did not have nomograph completed for their dam was more likely to have not responded to vaccination. Keywords: Canine, nomograph, titer, vaccination, distemper, parvovirus Introduction Maternally derived antibody (MDA) interference with vaccination is considered as main cause for “failure to immunize” in puppies < 6 months old.1-4 Determining breeding dam antibody titers and applying half life degradation analysis to litter (nomograph) improved timing for canine distemper virus (CDV) vaccination.5 This concept was not widely adopted, since very few diagnostic laboratories offered canine vaccinal antibody testing. Beginning in late 1990’s, an alarming increase in adverse reactions to vaccines, most notably feline vaccine associated sarcoma,6 triggered veterinary profession to reevaluate annual vaccinations, standard practice at that time, for pet dogs and cats.
