Method of complex therapy ofprotozoosies in dogs

Abstract

Earlier, we studied biopsy specimens of the duodenum in dogs with invasion of Cystoisospora spp. and Giardia spp. For izosporosis, duodenitis with moderate changes were established in accordance with the recommendations of the WSAVA Gastrointestinal Standardization Group. Parazitation causes the development of gastrointestinal tract disorders with signs of a moderate and severe inflammatory process. At the same time, in animals invaded by Giardia spp., we did not get a direct connection between the severity of lesions of the small intestine during parasitism of protozoa and clinical manifestations, especially connection with the severity and frequency of diarrhea. The purpose of the study is the experimental use of additional antibiotic or chemotherapy for dogs with giardiosis and cryptosporosis in order to achieve a reduction in the time of recovery period. Compared with indicators before treatment, biochemical parameters after antibiotical therapy of giardiosis and cystoisosporosis returned to normal on the 30th day. The level of albumin in dogs with cystoisosporosis has not fully recovered. This is due to the development of inflammation of the mucous membrane of the small intestine and impaired absorption of proteins from food. In control groups, without additional drug therapy, were stated protein and cholesterol deficiency, the urea level also did not recover. In experimental group, antibiotic therapy were prolonged for 6 months in 6% of cases, and gastrointestinal tract malfunctions were clinically manifested. Repeated studies of protozoonosis were negative. No similar violations were observed in prebiotic groups. Therefore, antibiotic therapy of dogs with giardiosis and cystoisisporosis allows the invasive dogs to recover faster.
