Vaccinations Can Prevent These Diseases...
Distemper - A widespread, and often
fatal disease, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, pneumonia
and severe brain damage.
Adenovirus - The cause of infectious
hepatitis and respiratory infections, respectively, CAV-1 virus
produces serve damage to the cells of the liver. CAV-2
virus is part of the kennel cough complex in dogs.
Leptospirosis - A bacterial infection
which often leads to permanent kidney damage. It is very
contagious and spreads through contact with nasal secretions,
urine, or saliva of infected animals.
Parainfluenza - Another part of the kennel
cough complex. It is often a mild respiratory infection, but
can be more severe in puppies and debilitated dogs.
Parovirus - A widespread and potentially
fatal disease which may cause severe vomiting and diarrhea. It
is especially dangerous in young dogs and individuals susceptible
to the effects of dehydration.
Coronovirus - A highly contagious viral
infection of the gastrointestinal tract which causes vomiting
and diarrhea. Young puppies are particularly susceptible to this
disease.
Rabies - A fatal viral infection of the
central nervous system that can affect all mammals, including
man. The virus is transmitted from animal to animal to
man primarily through the bite of an infected animal. Routine
vaccination is the key to controlling this dreaded disease.
Bordetella - A bacteria that infects
the upper respiratory tract. It is one of the many important
contributing infectious agents in the kennel/canine cough complex.
Lyme Disease - A disease carried by ticks
which infects both man and dogs. The disease can damage many
of the dog's body systems, but most often causes fear, loss of
appetite and lameness.
