The canine herpes virus mainly harms the newborn puppy. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that adult dogs will be infected with the virus. This is an acute and highly lethal infectious disease. The typical features of puppy infection are systemic hemorrhage and necrosis.
The pathogen of this disease is canine herpes virus type I, which has weak resistance to high temperature, and can kill the virus in 4 minutes at 56°C.
I. Diagnostic points
Epidemiological characteristics: Canine herpesvirus only infects dogs, and mainly causes lethal infection in puppy dogs within two weeks of age, while puppy dogs and adult dogs over three weeks old have mild symptoms and mainly inapparent infection.
Clinical features: After puppies within two weeks of age are infected with this disease, their body temperature often does not rise, their spirits are dull, their appetite is poor, or they stop breastfeeding.
Pathological necropsy features: The typical lesions of young dogs are scattered with a large number of gray-white necrotic foci and small hemorrhages with a diameter of about 2-3 mm on the surface of the solid organ.
Usually based on the above clinical features and pathological changes, combined with the epidemic characteristics, a preliminary diagnosis can be made.
II. Prevention and control measures
