ABSTRACT

Parvovirus enteritis is one of the most dangerous viral infections in dogs, but today the issues of microbiocenosis, features of the epizootic process, pathogenesis, and treatment of dogs with parvovirus enteritis complicated by associations of coccidia remain poorly understood. The aim of this work was to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a method for treating dogs with parvovirus enteritis, complicated by associations of coccidia, with a severe course of the disease. The study was carried on in Veterinary Medicine Hospital of Al-Muthanna Province, south of Iraq. Puppies with Diarrhea, oocysts of Cystoisospora canis were identified. The suspected cases were diagnosed by using a rapid test for parvovirus. The effectiveness of the method of therapy for dogs with parvovirus enteritis complicated by associations of coccidia in a severe form of the course of the disease was evaluated in two stages. The first stage was carried out at the time of the appointment of treatment, and the second stage after 14 days. Globcan-5 wa, Suprastin, Fosprenil, Gamavit-forte, Levofloxacin, Gordox, Okrestatin, Lactobifadol, Polyoxidonium, Ringer’s solution, rheosorbilact and stabilizol were used as therapy. Firstly, the general clinical, biochemical, and immunological parameters of the blood of sick animals were examined at the time of treatment. The results of A comparative analysis of the recorded was carried out. In the process of treating sick dogs, positive changes occur, which are characterized by an improvement in the general clinical condition, a decrease in body temperature, elimination of vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal bleeding, intoxication, and dehydration syndromes, normalization of the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood, total protein, albumin, urea, creatinine, total bilirubin, circulating immune complexes, the activity of alanine and aspartic aminotransferases, α-amylase in blood serum, erythrocytes, leukocytes, T- and B-lymphocytes, O-cells, and T-helpers. From this study concluded the treating sick dogs, positive changes occurred, which are characterized by an improvement in the general clinical condition , normalization of the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood, total protein, albumin, urea, creatinine, total bilirubin, circulating immune complexes, the activity of alanine, aspartic aminotransferases, α-amylase in blood serum, the number of erythrocytes, leukocytes, T- and B-lymphocytes, O-cells, and T-helpers in the blood.
