Mambo 15 ya Ugonjwa wa Beagle Haupaswi Kupuuza Kamwe

Lafora is an inherited genetic defect responsible for progressive epilepsy. This means that the condition becomes more obvious as one ages. The epileptic seizures also become stronger and occur more frequently. A mutation in the NHLRC1 gene (also called EPM2B) is responsible for neurotoxic inclusions (so-called Lafora bodies) that are stored in the brain and nervous system. However, these inclusions are also found in other organs.

Dalili za Lafora:

blindness / poor vision

degedege

kutetemeka kwa misuli

twitching (especially head area)

aggressive behavior/susceptibility to stress

incontinence (as the course progresses)

frequent blinking

shida ya akili

falling over / lying down

matatizo ya uratibu

Vichocheo vya nje vya kuona au kusikia (mwanga unaowaka, harakati za haraka, kelele kubwa, n.k.) vinaweza kusababisha mshtuko. Beagle anabaki na ufahamu kamili.

Mbali na dalili zilizoorodheshwa, ambazo huzungumzia ugonjwa wa Lafora, mtihani wa maumbile unaweza kuthibitisha utambuzi kwa uhakika. Kwa kusudi hili, sampuli ya damu ya EDTA inachunguzwa. Mbali na Beagle, Dachshunds na Basset Hounds pia huathiriwa na ugonjwa wa Lafora. Hata hivyo, ugonjwa mara nyingi ni mbaya zaidi katika beagle.

The disease often does not appear until the age of 6 or 7 and can shorten life expectancy. Unfortunately, Lafora cannot be cured. Dogs' quality of life sometimes deteriorates rapidly after the first symptoms appear. Only dogs that have received the mutated gene from both parents become ill. A dog with only one mutated gene remains symptom-free but can pass on the disease.

Poisoning can develop very slowly. For example, by ingesting dangerous substances over a longer period of time. This can also be unsuitable food (see beagle nutrition).

Ingawa baadhi ya sumu zina athari ya haraka, wengine wana dalili za kuchelewa. Hii ndio kesi, kwa mfano, na sumu ya panya, ambayo kwa bahati mbaya pia hutumiwa mara nyingi na baiti za sumu za kutisha. Dalili za sumu zinaweza kuonekana hata siku baada ya kumeza.

Dalili zifuatazo zinaweza, lakini si lazima zionyeshe sumu. Magonjwa mengine pia yanawezekana kwa ishara hizi. Walakini, kwa kuwa kila sekunde huhesabu wakati Beagle wako amekula kitu hatari, unapaswa kushauriana na daktari wa mifugo mara moja ikiwa unashuku kitu. Kwa bahati mbaya, dalili nyingi hutokea kwa kuchanganya.

Dalili za sumu:

blood in the feces;

kuhara;

kutapika;

salivation kali;

blood or foam in the vomit;

damu katika mkojo;

tetemeka;

under temperature;

maumivu ya tumbo;

"cat hump";

narrowed or greatly dilated pupils;

kupoteza fahamu;

circulatory problems (white gums/oral mucosa!);

kupooza;

strong restlessness;

very weak condition;

kutojali;

shida za kupumua;

very irregular heartbeat.

But not only poisonous baits pose a danger for the dog. There are many substances in the household that could be dangerous for the beagle. These include, for example, cleaning agents, fertilizers, medicines, cigarettes, alcohol, unsuitable food, and much more.

Keep calm and don't panic.

Chukua mbwa mara moja (!) Kwa hospitali ya wanyama au kwa mifugo.

Don't induce vomiting.

Usiweke kitanzi cha muzzle kwenye beagle wako.

Ikiwezekana, chukua baadhi ya dutu iliyomezwa/iliwa (kuvaa glavu au kuinua kama kinyesi!)

Collected faeces, urine, or vomit can also provide information about the poison in the veterinary laboratory.

Ikiwezekana, funika beagle katika blanketi na umpe joto wakati wa usafiri.

If the poison was absorbed by the dog via the gastrointestinal tract, charcoal tablets can be administered as a first aid measure (ask the veterinarian about the dosage well before an emergency occurs).
