The issue of whether you can raise a dog during pregnancy and whether you can raise a dog if you have too young children at home have been debated for a long time. The main thing is to be afraid of something, that is 'Toxoplasma gondii'.

The pathogen of toxoplasma gondii is Toxoplasma gondii, referred to as Toxoplasma gondii for short. Its entire development process requires two hosts. Cats are the final host of Toxoplasma gondii. They perform cleft proliferation and gamete reproduction similar to coccidius development in the epithelial cells of the small intestine, and finally form an oocyst and are excreted from the body with the cat's feces. The oocyst is proliferated in the external environment and develops into an infectious oocyst containing two sporangias through spore proliferation.

Toxoplasma gondii is not strict in selecting intermediate hosts. More than 200 species of animals are known, including mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and humans. Cats can also serve as intermediate hosts of Toxoplasma gondii. In the intermediate host, Toxoplasma gondii can reproduce asexually in nucleated cells in various tissue organs throughout the body.

Animals were infected by eating infectious ovary sacs in cat feces or meat, viscera, exudates, excrements and milk from intermediate hosts containing Toxoplasma gondii cysts or cysts. Rapid mesophylls can also be infected through the skin and mucous membranes, or through the placenta.

[Diagnostic Points]

(1) Clinical Symptoms: Most of them are asymptomatic recessive infections. Infections are common in young and young dogs and symptoms are more serious, and adult dogs also have fatal cases. Symptoms are similar to canine distemper and infectious hepatitis in dogs, which are mainly manifested as fever, cough, anorexia, mental depression, weakness, secretions in the eyes and nose, pale mucosa, difficulty breathing, and even severe hemorrhagic diarrhea. A few sick dogs have severe vomiting, followed by paralysis and other neurological symptoms. If pregnant female dogs have miscarriage or premature birth, the baby dogs they have often experience symptoms such as loose stools, difficulty breathing and movement disorders, and blood tests; in the acute stage, red and white blood cells are reduced and neutrophils are increased. Neutrophilopenia and monocyte proliferation are rare. The total number of white blood cells in chronic cases increased, and there is a warm reminder that it is mainly neutrophilic leukocytes, thrombocytopenia, but no tendency to bleeding.

(2) Laboratory examination: Relying on clinical symptoms alone can easily be confused with canine distemper, especially neurotype canine distemper. Therefore, after comprehensive judgment of epidemiological analysis, clinical symptoms, etc., it is necessary to detect the pathogen or confirm the increase in antibody titers in the serum before the diagnosis can be confirmed.

[Prevention]

Do not feed raw meat, and prevent dogs from preying on rodents, and prevent cat feces from contaminating feed and drinking water. Defend the deworming on time (Happy Brown Sugar, Golden Shield's Kexin, D-800, Australia Byrne Nei Cyclone, and there are also specialized zoonotic vaccines for about 70-80 per shot. Generally, gonzoites and coccidiosis are mostly one medicine and two-drivings, and ordinary deworming is mostly roundworms. Toxoplasma gonzoites need to be dispelled separately, and puppies are prone to infection with coccidiosis. Pregnancy is particularly taboo to prevent Toxoplasma gonzoites, so prevent it early and prevent it before it occurs.
