Definition of Rabies in Dogs and Cats Rabies is an acute viral encephalomyelitis caused by Rhabdoviridae that principally affects carnivores and insectivorous bats, although it can affect any mammal It is almost invariably fatal once clinical signs appear Rabies occurs throughout the world Transmission is almost always by introduction of virus-laden saliva i nto the tissues, usually by the bite of a rabid animal Contact with fresh wound or even intact mucous membrane may also transmit the disease. Virus may be present in the saliva and transmitted by an infected animal several days before onset of clinical signs (usually 3-5 days in domestic dogs and cats) Signs and Symptoms of Rabies in Dog and Cat Clinical signs of rabies are rarely definitive The most reliable signs are behavioral changes and unexplained paralysis Behavioral changes may include anorexia, signs of apprehension or nervousness, irritability, and hyperexcitability The animal may seek solitude, ataxia, altered phonation, and changes in temperament are apparent A normally docile animal may suddenly become vicious and the vice versa Signs and Symptoms of Rabies in Dog and Cat Cont …. Clinical phases Prodromal Form Lasts 1-3 days; animals show only vague CNS signs, which intensify rapidly Signs and Symptoms of Rabies in Dog and Cat Cont …. Furious Form This is the classical “ mad-dog syndrome ,” the animal becomes irrational and, with the slightest provocation, may viciously and aggressively use its teeth, claws, the posture and expression is one of alertness and anxiety, with pupils dilated Noise invites attack Such animals lose all caution and fear of natural enemies. Carnivores with this form of rabies frequently roam extensively, attacking other animals and people Signs and Symptoms of Rabies in Dog and Cat Cont …. Rabid dogs chew the wire and frame of their cages, breaking their teeth, and will follow a hand moved in front of the cage, attempting to bite Puppies usually become vicious in a few hours Rabid domestic cats and bobcats attack suddenly, biting and scratching viciously As the disease progresses, muscular incoordination and seizures are common Signs and Symptoms of Rabies in Dog and Cat Cont …. Paralytic Form Paralysis of the throat and masseter muscles, often with profuse salivation and inability to swallow Dropping of the lower jaw is common in dogs These animals are not vicious and rarely attempt to bite The paralysis progresses rapidly to all parts of the body, and coma and death follow in a few hour Activity: Brainstorming How is rabies prevented in dogs ? Pharmacological Treatment and Prevention of Rabies in Dogs and Gats Pharmacological Treatment There is no treatment for rabies Pharmacological Treatment and Prevention of Rabies in Dogs and Gats Cont … Comprehensive guidelines for control in dogs have been prepared by the World Health Organization and include the following Notification of suspected cases, and destruction of dogs with clinical signs other and dogs bitten by a suspected rabid animal Reduction of contact rates between susceptible dogs by leash laws, dog movement control, and quarantine Pharmacological Treatment and Prevention of Rabies in Dogs and Gats Cont … … Mass immunization of dogs by campaigns and by continuing vaccination of young dogs Stray dog control and destruction of unvaccinated dogs with low levels of dependency on, or restriction by man Dog registration Vaccination of dogs and cats with modified live virus and inactivated types If an exposed animal is currently vaccinated, it should be revaccinated immediately and closely observed for 45 days Key Points Rabies is a virus that may affect the brain and spinal cord of all mammals, including dogs, cats and humans Initially , a dog that’s become infected may show extreme behavioral changes such as restlessness or apprehension, both of which may be compounded by aggression There is no treatment or cure for rabies once symptoms appear Since rabies presents a serious public health threat, dogs that are suspected of having the virus are most often euthanized Vaccination against Rabbies is available Evaluation What is Rabbies ?

PST 06107 Basic Veterinary Pharmacology Session 12: Pharmacotherapy of Tetanus and Rift Valley Fever in Cattle and Goat Learning Tasks By the end of this session students are expected to be able to: Define Tetanus and Rift Valley Fever in Cattle and Goat List signs and symptoms of Tetanus and Rift Valley Fever in Cattle and Goat Describe pharmacological treatment of Tetanus and Rift Valley Fever in Cattle and Goat Describe Control and Prevention of Tetanus and Rift Valley Fever in Cattle and Goat Activity: Buzzing What is Tetanus in Cattle? ? Definition of Tetanus in Cattle and Goat Tetanus toxemia is caused by a specific neurotoxin produced by Clostridium tetani growing in necrotic tissue. Almost all mammals are susceptible to this disease. Signs and Symptoms of Tetanus in Cattle and Goat The signs progress from stiff gait, prolapse of the third eyelid, and trismus (lockjaw) extending to the head, neck and all four extremities, and the tail. Other signs include; Exaggerated response external stimuli, Erection of the ears Drooling of saliva As the disease progresses, titanic convulsions accompanied by opisthotonos occur following external stimuli Pharmacological Treatment of Tetanus in Cattle and Goat If signs are detected very early and the disease is not too severe, treatment can be successful Cattle with early tetanus respond to treatment better than most other livestock Antitoxin is of very little use unless given in the very early states of infection In some cases sedatives and relaxants aid recovery. It is not worth treating cattle with fully developed tetanus Activity: Brainstorming What are the preventive measures for Tetanus in Cattle and Goat? Prevention and Control of Tetanus in Cattle and Goat Vaccines are available to protect against tetanus (can last as long as three years if given in correct doses at the correct times) Good hygiene is needed especially during and following operations such as castrations and calving. The spread of the disease can be reduced by ensuring that all surgical equipment are sterilized and the operation is undertaken in a clean area Barbed wire which has rusted should be replaced as these can also act as a source of infection and any open wounds cleaned immediately REFER Students to Handout 12.1: For pharmacotherapy of Rift Valley Fever in Cattle and Goat Pharmacotherapy of rift Valley Fever in Cattle and Goat Key Points Tetanus is a fairly common disease occurring in all types of livestock Tetanus is caused by toxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani Stiffness and reluctance to move are normally the first signs Cattle with early tetanus probably respond to treatment better than most other livestock. Antitoxin is of very little use unless given in the very early states of infection. Undertaking surgical procedures (such as castration) properly, in a clean environment, with disinfected instruments and surgical area, significantly reduces the risk of tetanus Evaluation What is Tetanus? What are the common signs and symptoms of Tetanus in Cattle? What is the pharmacological treatment for tetanus in Cattle? What are the control measures against Tetanus in Cattle?

Pharmacotherapy of Tuberculosis in Cattle and Goat – PST06107 Basic Veterinary Pharmacology

NTA Level 6 • Semester 1 • PST06107 Pharmacotherapy of Tuberculosis in Cattle and Goat Basic Veterinary Pharmacology • Source Session/Topic 13 Full source-text version: all educational wording from the extracted learning source is retained; only presenter/tutor metadata and web-layout noise are removed, while formatting is improved for readability. PST 06107 Basic Veterinary Pharmacology Session 13: Pharmacotherapy of Tuberculosis in Cattle and Goat Learning Tasks By the end of this session students are expected to be able to: Define Tuberculosis in Cattle and Goat List signs and symptoms of Tuberculosis in Cattle and Goat Describe pharmacological treatment of Tuberculosis in Cattle and Goat Describe control and prevention of Tuberculosis in Cattle and Goat Activity: Buzzing What is Tuberculosis in Cattle? ? Definition of Tuberculosis in Cattle and Goat Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious, granulomatous disease of animals and man caused by acid-fast bacilli of the genus Mycobacterium . The main tubercle bacillus in cattle is Mycobacterium bovis , though M. tuberculosis and M. avium are also involved Mycobacterium bovis can cause progressive disease in most warm-blooded vertebrates, including man The clinical signs, treatment methods and public health significance for goats are similar to that of cattle Signs and Symptoms of Tuberculosis in Cattle and Goat Tuberculosis has two clinical forms; pulmonary and extra pulmonary Pulmonary Tuberculosis In this respiratory form of the disease there are chronic, intermittent, moist cough with later signs of dyspnea and tachypnea Extra pulmonary tuberculosis In the extra pulmonary form, generalized signs including progressive emaciation, lethargy, weakness, anorexia, and a low-grade, fluctuating fever are observed Pharmacological Treatment of Tuberculosis in Cattle and Goat Treatment of bovine tuberculosis is not recommended because it is not economical However, in valuable animals Isonicotinic acid hydrazine/isoniazid (INH), 20 mg/kg, PO q 24 h for 8 weeks, maximum is 12g for bulls and 10g/day for cows Activity: Brainstorming What are the prevention and control measures for Tuberculosis in Cattle and Goat?? Prevention and Control of Tuberculosis in Cattle and Goat Control can be done through whole herd skin testing, slaughter surveillance and monitoring the movement of animals between herds Vaccinating cattle for the control of bovine TB is not currently used within any international control program This is because vaccines based on the TB, BCG vaccine, all interfere with the action of the tuberculin skin test which is used for the diagnosis of TB in cattle If the BCG vaccine is used then it is impossible to differentiate between cattle that have TB and cattle that have been vaccinated Key Points Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic disease of animals caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium bovis , ( M. bovis ) which is closely related to the bacteria that cause human and avian tuberculosis TB usually has a prolonged course, and symptoms take months or years to appear. Treatment of infected animals is rarely attempted because of the high cost, lengthy time and the larger goal of eliminating the disease Disease eradication programs consisting of post mortem meat inspection, intensive surveillance including on-farm visits, systematic individual testing of cattle and removal of infected and incontact animals as well as movement controls have been very successful in reducing or eliminating the disease Evaluation What is Tuberculosis? What are the common signs and symptoms of Tuberculosis in Cattle? What is the pharmacological treatment of Tuberculosis in Cattle? What are the preventive measures for Tuberculosis in Cattle?
