canine and feline septicemia
Canine and feline sepsis is mostly caused by urinary tract infections, severe trauma, burns and other diseases that can lead to infection and inflammation in the body caused by systemic symptoms of purulent infections, which can lead to the affected dogs and cats with elevated temperatures, depression, etc. The following is a detailed understanding of the manifestations of canine and feline sepsis and treatment with Dr. Oxygen Pets!
Clinical signs of sepsis in dogs and cats
Sepsis is a systemic pathological process caused by the absorption by the organism of the causative organism and its products of life activities and tissue breakdown products from a localized infected lesion. There are systemic infections that occur as a result of septic foci such as abscesses, cellulitis, and other suppurative foci due to septic pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus haemolyticus, E. coli, anaerobic bacteria, and putrefactive bacteria. Sepsis is also caused by extensive burns, urinary tract infections, uterine infections, peritonitis and certain infectious diseases.
Clinically, they are classified as toxemia and septicemia. Toxemia is caused by toxins produced by pathogenic bacteria or pathological breakdown products of tissues that are absorbed by the body into the circulation. Septicemia is caused by bacterial emboli or infected thrombi entering the circulation.
Toxemia: clinical manifestations of extreme mental depression, staggering, lying down, persistent elevated body temperature with short intervals, body temperature decreases only before death, loss of appetite, respiratory distress, fast and weak heartbeat, sometimes with hemorrhagic spots and yellowish staining of conjunctiva. Septicemia: Bacterial embolus or infected thrombus enters the blood circulation and various tissues and organs, and when the conditions are suitable, the bacteria grow and multiply, produce a large number of toxins, and form metastatic abscesses in these tissues and organs, destroying the function of the local tissues or organs, and there are systemic symptoms.
