This bacterium grows rapidly in decomposing animal tissue and sometimes in plant material. It results in rapid death due to the paralysis of vital organs. Botulism is an intoxication, not an infection. There are 7 types of Clostridium botulinum; the C

Anthrax in Dogs
date February 3, 2025

Underdiagnosis and unreliable reporting make it difficult to estimate the true rate of occurrence of anthrax worldwide; however, anthrax has been reported from nearly every continent. Throughout the past hundred years, animal infections have been seen in nearly all states, with the highest frequency in the Midwest and West. Presently, anthrax is found mos

Amyloidosis is a condition that occurs when amyloid, a substance composed of abnormally folded protein, is deposited in various organs of the body. Some types of amyloidosis are hereditary in dogs. (Chinese Shar-Peis are known to be at risk for hereditary amyloidosis.) Others occur as a result of diseases, such as heartworm infection, various cancers, or other severe inflammatory or immune-related conditions. However, the cause is often unknown.

Actinomycosis in Dogs
date February 3, 2025
Actinomyces bacteria normally live in the mouth and in the nasal passages near the throat. Several species are associated with diseases in dogs. Actinomyces bovis has been identified infrequently in infections in dogs and other mammals. Disease occurs when this bacterium is introduced to underlying soft tissue through penetrating wounds of the mouth (such as those that occur from carrying sharp objects in the mouth or r

Actinobacillosis in Dogs
date February 3, 2025
Actinobacillosis is caused by bacteria in the genus Actinobacillus. Several different forms of disease occur, depending on the particular species of Actinobacillus involved and the type of animal infected. Soft tissue infections are common, and lymph node involvement is frequently a step in the spread of the disease throughout the animal’s entire body. Bony tissue close to infected muscles or other tissue may also

Congenital and Inherited Disorders Affecting Multiple Body Systems of Dogs
date February 3, 2025
A variety of structural and functional defects have been described in animals. These birth defects are usually classified by the body system primarily affected, and many are discussed in this book under the appropriate body system section. Defective newborns have survived a disruptive event during embryonic or fetal development. Defective development may also cause embryonic loss, fetal death, mummification, abortion, stillbirth, a newborn not capable of living, or birth defects.

Introduction to Disorders Affecting Multiple Body Systems of Dogs
date February 3, 2025
There are many disorders that can affect multiple parts of the body. These may be caused by bacteria, viruses, poisonous or toxic substances in the environment, and other health hazards. Disorders affecting multiple body systems can also be inherited or develop while the animal is still in the womb. Diseases or conditions that involve multiple organ systems may also be described as systemic or generalized. Many disorders are discussed in this chapter. A listi
