一起打低犬焦虫(牛痺熱)的日子

如果大家細心的話, 會發現近日仔仔豬豬部份腳毛被剃走了.


就即是說他們要抽血. 雖說抽血也不一定是壞事, 我們一家去旅行前也不就是要先準備驗血報告. 不過這次抽血帶來的的確實是壞消息---仔仔得了牛痺熱, 正確點來說是相當難攪的犬焦虫.

前幾驗血報告再出, 證實仔仔的犬焦虫症己治好, 也是時候整理一下這次病歷.
(應該幾悶, 無興趣可以省略)

緣起 :
三月初, 仔仔開始挑食, 只吃好味道的東西, 狗糧一概不願吃. 同事豬仔爸發覺仔仔的牙肉發白, 開始擔心. 於三月十日帶仔仔到獸醫診所檢查, 可惜那天的替工獸醫堅稱仔仔健康,  豬仔爸只好要求一個詳細的驗血報告.

備戰 :
三月十三日, 驗血報告和主診醫生Dr. Rob都回來了, 大清早我們收到電話著我們盡快帶仔仔到診所. 報告出來, 紅血球和血小板偏底. 醫生判定是牛痺熱. 作了血液抺片, 沒有發現焦蟲的踪跡. 即時安排作 PCR test找出那種焦蟲在作怪. 幸好發現得早, 仔仔當時的HCT仍有34, 比正常的範圍的底線37只是跌出少許.

醫生開了維他命和補血丸給仔仔服用.

三月十四日, PCR結果出了, Babesia Canis(大焦蟲), Babesia Gibsoni(小焦蟲/吉貝氏焦蟲)均是陽性反應.

作戰:
三月十五日, 早上帶仔仔到診所接受治療. Dr. Rob計設了療程, 第一針由Dr. Jimmy操刀. 說也有緣, 每次仔仔大病都會遇到Dr. Jimmy.

療程如下 :
先注射一劑重劑量的 Berenil
翌一注射一劑 Imizol
隔十日安排驗血, 察看病程有否好轉, 確認療程是否適合.
第二針隔十四日後再注射一劑  Imizol
再驗血, HCT回復正常, 但RBC仍偏低.
再驗PCR, 病毒呈陰性反應.
戰勝

至於RBC偏底, 醫生相信是體內體內免疫系充發現病毒時自動殺紅血球所至, 服用補血丸和類固醇, 現並建議在餐單裡增添熟透的紅肉

解說 :
Berenil原是用來醫牛的, 但用於狗身上亦有療效, 主要用來對付最麻煩的Babesia Gibsoni但會影響肝腎. 仔仔曾患急性腎衰竭, 但幸好第一個驗血報告顯示仔仔的肝腎酵數指數正常.

Imizol是針對Babesia Canis, 豬豬初來我們家時, 醫生從血液抺片看到雙梨形的大焦蟲, 一針Imizol就攪定.

現時比較流行的是Aitovaquone和Azithromycin的混合療法, 即俗稱的黃金水/滴滴金, 用來對付Babesia Gibsoni, 副作用較少, Monita姐姐說自她進駐診所以來只有一頭狗狗在使用Azithromycin肝酵數急升, 但停葯後即回復正常. 但葯如其名---黃金價, 好貴. 醫生解釋相信Berenil和 Imizol適合仔仔病程, 而且仔仔的體型來說, 用黃金水實在太貴, 若Berenil 未見效時才轉用.

結語 :
仔仔能康復得這麼快, 除了 Dr. Rob的診斷快狠準, Dr. Jimmy和Monita姐姐詳細解釋外, 要歸功豬仔爸的觀察和及時行動. 好讓仔仔在病發的初期開始治療. 牛痺熱的初期病徵是牙肉變白, 食慾下降. 再發展下去會有溶血而出現疴血尿的情形. 所以必須時時留意小朋友們的身體狀態.

愉快的心情亦對病程有相當幫助, 可能豬豬牛痺熱的經驗, 減輕了我們對仔仔病發的壓力, 治療期間繼續開開心心上山下海. 當然仔仔病程較輕沒有影響體力和精神.

別以為做足預防措施便可安心. 仔仔有準時滴FRONTLINE PLUS, 出街有時會噴蚤水, 但牛痺熱仍是不勝防. 這並不是個別例子.

多謝大家在仔仔發病後的關心, 特別嗚謝.BJ和DDB足料的經驗分享.

  12. 最慘豬豬同仔仔都係黑色,更加難發現牛B。   係呀,好多時主人都好遲先至察覺寵物唔舒服,帶去睇醫生往往已經太遲。其實自己照顧開貓狗,一旦有少少同平時唔同,又持續兩三日,就應該帶佢睇獸醫。   及早醫治,對寵物,對主人都好。 [版主回覆04/19/2009 09:38:00]都唔係慘既, 要搵都搵到架, 親子活動黎架. 係呀, 真係唔拖得!!!!!!

Hope she will recover soon.   仔仔用的是Berenil和 Imizol. 當中的Berenil是針對Babesia Gibsoni的.   治療Babesia Gibsoni滴滴金(或者叫黃金水)仍是現時較常用時同副作用較少既方法.   HTC這麼低, 醫生有建議輸血嗎? 除了補血葯外, 獸醫還有建議仔仔食未全熟的紅肉來補血. 但同時要看狗狗本身的抗強力, 若體質很差時未必適合吃生肉. 一定要信任醫生和給狗狗信心, 合力打低犬焦蟲

  37. i just went to the hospital to see my dog, she has alittle bit low temperature, doctor said already give her the medicine, but i dont' know which medicine, she is still weak as i can see, she not willing to eat any food and water, doctor said tomro will have the blood test to see whether need to transfer blood to her, (i think most possible) they said 200 cc $3xxx, now is still connecting to the salt water (sodium chloride), i also hear about 食未全熟的紅肉來補血 so i wanna know this illness can recover at all? [版主回覆06/24/2009 22:51:00]依個病係會好返, 好返時再驗血就會變negative, 不過病毒會藏係骨髓入面, 常狗狗身體唔好受到壓力時就會翻發. 你家狗狗今日驗血結果點呀, 醫生點講呀.

  38. hihi before transfering blood the HCT from 12.5% to 17% but still at low level, so doctor decide to transfer blood to her yesterday just transfer blood to her and today i find that her 牙肉已經紅番小小, doctor said need stay in clinic till this saturaday and conduct the blood test see if the HCT level rise or not, if the level is good, can back to home,,,,,but i am still worried about the effectiveness of the medicine of killing the 虫, so i am still worried she can recover or not, but u said need to give confidence to doctor, and after compare the price, i find that my doctor charge not expensive, so now i am 放心的交給他們醫,已經冇想錢了,i would like to ask u how long ur dog's cure time, need three month ma?if recover,,,can the dog go out? [版主回覆06/26/2009 21:01:00]雖然離37還有一段距離12.5升到17%已經有進步啦, 加油呀. 仔仔病程比較輕, 由開始到驗血驗血證實好返都兩個月有多, 之後仲KEEP住食補血葯同類固醇一段時間. 仔仔治療期間仍有外出, 包括行山游水, 但常然要看他情況和體力, 狗狗好返之後當然可以外出. 不過我地就要時時觀察佢地, 睇下有無復發既徵兆, 例如食欲下降, 牙肉白, 啡色尿尿等.

  39. hihi i just took back my dog to home after 4 overnight stay in the clinic the doctor prescribed 補血葯同類固醇 to my dog but don't have the medicine to kill the 虫, doctor said need to back clinic to see the blood test after 7 days dose i want to ask u how u 畏the pill to the dog?i find it very difficult,,,,,,my dog know it is the medicine, refuse to eat, the nurse teach me 中爛啲pill mix with some water and 狗罐頭(my dog like to eat)and put it into a 針筒, however, i can't put it into my dog's month,,,i wanna know how u 畏 the pill,,,help~~~~i am afriad i waste the medicine and can't help my dog [版主回覆06/26/2009 23:25:00]餵葯方法....要用手打開狗狗個口, 將葯丸塞到喉嚨最入, 用手合埋佢個口, 等佢吞, 如果唔肯吞可以摸下佢喉嚨或者吹下個鼻, 再唔係可以買餵葯既輔助器. 係網上面搵度段片示範點餵葯, 方法ok, 但要將粒葯放到最入d先好合埋佢個口, 你可以參考下. http://www.associatedcontent.com/video/5824/how_to_feed_a_dog_a_pill.html 如果係用針葯, 仔仔果時都係隔一個星期先打多支針. 你可以叫獸醫講解下個療程同用葯你聽, 醫生有責任咁做架, 你都有權利問多d 等你好消息.

  45. 14歲 8 磅重 狗狗 可以用 FRONTLINE PLUS 嗎 ? [版主回覆08/02/2009 20:36:00]製造商無話唔可以, 不過當然要睇有無需要同狗狗身體狀況. 因為FL說都未有係化學, 既然殺得死牛蜱梗係有毒性. 如果狗狗唔多出街無乜機會有蝨上身, 我個人就未必會用. 如果狗狗身體狀況唔多好就更加有保留. 但係如果狗狗生活係室外身又精神爽利既話咁就可能有實際需要.
