CANINE VACCINES
Presents
VaccinesVaccines provide proven life-saving benefits, are associated with minimal risk, and should be part of routine preventative health care
Vaccines“Core” vaccines are those recommended for almost every pet
Additional vaccines may be recommended by the new family veterinarian based on the dog’s lifestyle
Canine Core VaccinesThe core canine vaccines are those for• Canine parvovirus• Canine distemper virus• Canine adenovirus• Rabies
DHPP Vaccine
DHPPWhat does this vaccine cover?
DHPP• Canine Distemper
DHPP• Canine Distemper• Infectious Canine Hepatitis
DHPP• Canine Distemper• Infectious Canine Hepatitis• Parainfluenza
DHPP• Canine Distemper• Infectious Canine Hepatitis• Parainfluenza• Parvovirus
Canine Distemper
Canine DistemperCaused by a paramyxovirus
Causes flu-like signs (fever, cough, nasal and eye discharge, lethargy, anorexia)
Chronic cases also include neurologic signs(tremors of the head, stumbling, seizures)
Canine DistemperReplicates in respiratory, GI, and urogenital tissues
It is shed in respiratory secretions, feces and urine, and can also be spread by fomites (contaminated objects).
Canine DistemperSusceptible to many disinfectants and relatively unstable outside of the host
Following the ACAC’s sanitization protocol will allow for the risk of spread to be minimized
Infectious Canine Hepatitis
Infectious Canine HepatitisCaused by canine adenovirus type 1
Causes respiratory (nasal discharge, coughing) disease and often liver, eye, and kidney injury
It is shed in saliva, feces and urine
Parainfluenza
ParainfluenzaAlthough not a “core” vaccine, protection against this virus is often included due to its efficacy and safety.
Parainfluenza is one virus in Kennel Cough akaCanine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex (CIRDC)
Canine Parvovirus
Canine ParvovirusThis is a species-specific virus; cats won’t get feline panleukopenia from dogs and vice-versa
Canine ParvovirusCauses gastrointestinal disease (vomiting, diarrhea) and often secondary infections due to the virus invading the bone marrow and decreasing the amount of white blood cells
Canine ParvovirusCan progress rapidly to shock and death
Shed in the feces, vomit or urine of infected dogs and can also be spread by fomites
Canine ParvovirusVery resistant to disinfectants and persists in the environment
Unvaccinated and inadequately vaccinated dogs of all ages are at risk
Canine ParvovirusThe time between exposure to the virus and the first signs of illness is generally less than 14 days
Dogs shed the virus within 4-5 days of exposure
Shedding can continue up to 14 days aftersigns go away
Bordetella
BordetellaAlthough not a “core” vaccine, protection against this bacteria is recommended due to the high prevalence of this disease within the shelter.
Bordetella bronchiseptica is one component in Kennel Cough aka Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex (CIRDC)
