Pet Knowledge
This article is provided by Veterinarian Dr. Charlotte Brown
When dogs suffer from pyrozoonosis, drugs containing triazamidine are mainly used clinically to treat them, and environmental sanitation and tick eradication work are required. At the same time, owners need to pay attention. Because triazamidine is relatively toxic and requires a relatively high dosage, it is recommended that owners take their dogs to a pet hospital for professional treatment. If the dog's pyrozoonosis infection is severe and the jaundice index is relatively high, blood transfusion can also be used.

1. Pyrozoon is a blood parasite that lives in the blood of dogs and can cause anemia, anorexia, and even death in severe cases. Therefore, once a dog is found to have pyrozoonosis, the owner needs to take the dog to the pet hospital immediately for examination and treatment with drugs containing triazamidine and other ingredients.

2. Since the destruction of red blood cells will cause hemolysis in dogs, which will further cause jaundice in dogs, some dogs will have symptoms of yellow staining of the mucous membranes. If the dog's pyrozoonosis infection is severe and the jaundice index is relatively high, it is recommended to give the dog timely blood transfusion treatment and do a good job in environmental sanitation and tick eradication.

3. It is difficult to treat and cure pyrozoonosis in dogs, and there may be a probability of recurrence. Therefore, in order to reduce the infection of pyrozoon in dogs, it is recommended that owners regularly deworm their dogs internally and externally. It is usually recommended to During the summer when there are more parasites, deworming is done once a month. In addition, do not take your dog to places with a lot of grass when you go out to avoid being bitten by ticks.
