Canine rheumatism
Rheumatism is an acute or chronic non-suppurative inflammation that often occurs repeatedly, with muscles, joints and heart as its frequent sites. Dogs have more hair.
[etiology]
The cause of rheumatism is not clear. But it is currently considered to be an autoimmune disease. That is, the hemolytic streptococcus invading the diseased dog can make the body produce the corresponding antibody. When there is some inducement to make the streptococcus re-invade the body, the invading streptococcus acts as a kind of antigenic substance, combined with the anti-streptococcal antibody in the body to form an antigen-antibody complex, which can cause rheumatism. Wind-cold, damp, cold, rain, overwork, pharyngitis, laryngitis, tonsillitis and so on are all causes of rheumatism.
[main points of diagnosis]
It is characterized by sudden onset, local redness and swelling, wandering and recurrent attacks.
(1) muscular rheumatism; often occurs in the muscles of the shoulder, neck, waist and thigh. The swelling and pain of the diseased muscles and the stiffness of the muscles when touching can cause dyskinesia and inflexible gait, but with the increase of the amount of exercise and the extension of time, the symptoms are alleviated or disappeared. from the whole course of the disease, the affected part has the characteristics of wandering. The body temperature of the diseased dog can be increased by 1 to 1.5 ℃, and the respiration and pulse also change slightly. If the whole body muscle rheumatism, the affected dog shows that the whole body muscle is stiff, it is difficult to walk, and often cannot afford to lie on the ground.
(2) Joint rheumatism: often occurs in highly active joints, such as shoulder joint, elbow joint, hip joint, knee joint and so on. Edema of the joint capsule and its surrounding tissue, swelling of the joint shape, heat and pain during palpation. It is difficult for dogs to get up and lie down, limping during exercise, especially when they stand up early in the morning or lying down, but with the increase of exercise and time, the symptoms of claudication can be alleviated or disappeared. According to the medical history and the above symptoms, the diagnosis can be made.
[prevention]
(1) in drug treatment, antipyretic, analgesic and antirheumatic drugs, such as sodium salicylate and aspirin, can be used to treat acute rheumatism. Its dosage is 10% sodium salicylate 20 ml, once a day. Aspirin dosage is 0.2mur.25g / time. Chlorfenac (Kangfengshiling) 0.05g / time, oral administration, 2 / 3 times a day. Metochloric acid (anti-inflammatory acid) 0.1mg / time, orally, 3 times a day, 4 times a day. Naproxen (Xiaotongling), dogs were given 5 mg / kg body weight for the first time, and the maintenance dose was 1.2 ~ 2.8 mg / kg body weight, once a day.
(2) strengthen nursing, pay attention to heat preservation, keep the kennel dry and have enough sunshine, change the cushion frequently, strengthen outdoor exercise, and eliminate all kinds of inducement in time.

The world's first cloned dog was born.
South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-suk revealed in the recent publication of the journal Nature that his team has successfully bred the world's first cloned dog, Snape. Dog cloning has always been a difficulty in the field of cloning technology. the reason is that dogs only have two estrus a year, and waiting for dogs to ovulate naturally is the only way to get their eggs. On the other hand, when the dog ovulates, the ovary is in the early stage of development and finally matures at the end of the fallopian tube, so it is very difficult to successfully extract high-quality dog eggs.
