Canine cystitis

[etiology]

First, it is infected with pathogenic microorganisms. Such as Escherichia coli, staphylococci, streptococci, amoeba and so on.

Second, the spread of inflammation in adjacent organs. Such as nephritis, urethritis, prostatitis, urethritis, especially the vaginitis of bitches, endometritis, inflammation is easy to spread to the bladder, causing cystitis.

Third, mechanical injury. Such as catheter injury, bladder stones and so on can stimulate mucosal inflammation.

[main points of diagnosis]

The typical symptoms are painful frequent urination, frequent urination in sick dogs, or voiding posture, but only a small amount of urine or continuous dripping discharge (urine leaching) at a time, showing pain and restlessness. Serious due to bladder neck mucous membrane swelling or bladder sphincter spasmodic contraction, can cause urination, sick dogs pain restlessness, moaning. Microscopic examination of urinary sediment showed that there were a large amount of white blood cells, pus cells, red blood cells, bladder epithelial cells and fragments. The urine is turbid and sometimes contains mucous flocs, pus flocs and blood clots.

The symptoms of chronic cystitis are similar to those of acute cystitis, but the degree is lighter and the course of disease is longer.

According to the history, etiology, clinical symptoms and urinary sediment examination, a diagnosis can be made.

[prevention and control measures]

First, improve feeding and management, properly. Rest and feed with non-irritating, nutritious and digestible feed. High-protein feed should be properly restricted.

Second, rinse the bladder with disinfectant or astringent. First use the urinary catheter to discharge the accumulated urine in the bladder, rinse repeatedly with lukewarm saline, and then rinse with liquid medicine. For disinfection, 0.05% potassium permanganate solution, 0.02% furacillin solution and 0.1% Rivernol solution can be used. In order to converge, 1: 3% boric acid solution, 0.5% tannic acid solution, 1: 2% alum solution, etc. After washing the bladder, severe cystitis is infused with 800000-1.2 million units of penicillin (dissolved in 50,100ml distilled water) and systemic application of penicillin, streptomycin or other antibiotics.

Third, urinary disinfectants can be properly used, such as furan pyrimidine, the dosage is 4.4 mg / kg body weight, twice a day.

Fourth, pay attention to prevent the invasion and infection of microorganisms. When carrying out urinary catheterization, the requirements of disinfection and asepsis should be observed. Diseases of other urinary organs should be treated in time to prevent spread.
