Dogs + Treatment

  • Hookworms are parasites which get their name from the hook-like mouthparts they use to attach to the intestinal wall. Despite their small size, they suck large amounts of blood from the tiny vessels in the intestinal wall.

  • Horner's syndrome is a common neurological disorder of the eye and facial muscles. The condition is usually sudden in onset.

  • Hypocalcaemia means low circulating blood calcium. It is most commonly observed in eclampsia, or so-called milk fever, which may occur in bitches at any time during lactation or sometimes immediately before they whelp.

  • The thyroid gland regulates the rate of metabolism (body chemistry). If it is less functional than normal, metabolism slows down.

  • Infectious bronchitis/tracheitis, called kennel cough or more appropriately canine cough (since it can occur anywhere) can be caused by several organisms.

  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic disease of the intestinal tract. Occasionally, the stomach may be involved.

  • Tumours of the intestinal epithelial lining include non-cancerous polyps, benign adenomas and malignant epithelial tumours (adenocarcinomas).

  • It means that a yellow pigment is found in the blood and in the tissues. It is most easily seen in the gingiva (gums), the sclerae (white part of the eyes), and the pinnae (ear flaps).

  • This term indicates there is a decrease in the number of circulating blood platelets thus impairing blood clotting.

  • Laryngeal paralysis is probably more common than generally recognised. It affects middle aged and older dogs, usually of medium and large size.
