So many drug inventions are made to prevent these diseases. More scientists are into discovering the causes of these fast growing viruses and bacteria. They create many methods to stop them from infecting our animals. A lot of ways to save our pet's life. Among these diseases is canine infectious hepatitis. What is Canine Infectious Hepatitis and what causes it? Let us talk about this and find out how it becomes one of the very serious dog health problems of the very known man's best friend, our pooch. Canine Infectious Hepatitis is a life threatening and communicable disease. Mon, 25 Aug 2008 05:21:41 +0200 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/Urinary-Tract-Infection http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/Urinary-Tract-Infection Who said that Urinary Tract Innfection is a disease that can happen only to humans? My friend did, and I thought that he was pretty dumb at the time. But I don't blame him for his ignorance, there are many others like him that are unaware of the disorder occurring in animals as well – why should we care about this? Well it can happen to your dog too; as a matter of fact, a statistical report conducted by a team of statisticians (and whoever was on the team) clearly stated that one out of seven animals will develop Urinary Tract Infection at least once in their lifetime. Tue, 19 Aug 2008 08:42:26 +0200 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/dog-disease7 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/dog-disease7 Watching over our pets is one thing, but making sure we keep them healthy is another – dog health is the name of the game, and we must do our best to win (keep it in tip-top shape). Now that I'm done with the crappy intro I made up awhile ago, it's now time to discuss today's dog disease, which can greatly affect dog health. Ever see a lump on the skin of your pet? If you have, there are many things that could have caused that thing to appear out of nowhere. Let's state some of the possibilities: it could just be an insect bite, usually from a tick or flea infestation. Fri, 15 Aug 2008 05:05:41 +0200 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/dog-disease6 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/dog-disease6 Has your dog been having difficulty in walking lately? To be more specific, tread as if it was incapable of balancing itself, like a guy coming home drunk from a frat party? If so, what do you think are the possible causes of it being like that? Well it couldn't have possibly come home from a “kennel party”, where they were made to take alcoholic drinks (it's not in their culture to do so). Nor could it have been made to drink alcohol beverages by its owner, because most dogs can't stand the smell or taste of it in the first place (what kind of idiot would do that anyway). Thu, 14 Aug 2008 05:17:35 +0200 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/Blastomycosis http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/Blastomycosis As we all know, there are countless diseases out there that can affect our pets, and it's part of our responsibility to guard against them. One that can have devastating affects on both man and dog is Blastomycosis – a fungal disease. Many people think that fungal diseases are nothing serious, and it probably only affects the skin. That's right, for most of their kind, but not for Blastomycosis. After giving you the lousy and boring speech, it's time to for me to educate you (if you don't know anything about the ailment) about the disorder. Blastomycosis looks like a white mold – you can see it in acid soil near rivers and other flowing bodies of waters near the “woody places”. Wed, 13 Aug 2008 05:14:47 +0200 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/dog-disease5 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/dog-disease5 How important important are your eyes to you? For those of us that can see, very – common sense will tell you that it allows us to do many things, almost everything we do. After asking such a stupid question, I'll ask you another: how important is your dog's eyesight to you? That kind of question will receive various answers, depending entirely on how that individual uses the pooch. People owning a pooch as a family pet won't be affected much – sure there will be some tears shed if the pet were to have lost its sight suddenly, but they'd get over it eventually. Tue, 12 Aug 2008 05:09:37 +0200 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/dog-health1 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/dog-health1 Watching out for dog health is but one of the many responsibilities that have been placed into the hands of all pet owners. Whether we like it or not, it's our job to do everything we can to keep our pets in the best condition possible. Yes I know that there are some diseases in which the dog will be able to eradicate with its immune system, but that isn't true for every single one of them out there. One disease that we should guard against is Pyometra – what effects can the ailment have on dog health? To answer that, a short explanation would be needed, one that I'll happily give: first and foremost, the disorder can only happen to bitches (female dogs). Fri, 8 Aug 2008 05:11:28 +0200 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/dog-disease4 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/dog-disease4 How does too much alcohol in a man's body affect his motor movements? It causes him to be incapable of walking a straight line, or in other words “sway” from left to right, which can also be termed as “wobble walking”. Seeing a man unable to walk properly is popularly perceived by many people to be either drunk or retarded. There exists such a symptom of “funny walking” in the canine species. The disorder is known as “cervical spondylomyelopathy”, but commonly known to some people as “Wobblers Syndrome”. The latter was “created” because it's much easier to memorize than its scientific name, and can also be easily associated with the symptoms right off the bat by the mere mention of it. Wed, 6 Aug 2008 07:46:55 +0200 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/dog-licking http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/dog-licking Keeping our pooches healthy and happy is one of the many obligations that have been entrusted to us as pet owners. The relationship shared between pet and man is beautiful, so good to look at that it should be painted. If something gets into the pretty picture, something that shouldn't be there (like a dog disease), it should be dealt with immediately (erased from the canvas). Seeing your pet lick itself occasionally is accepted as normal canine behavior. But did you know that a dog licking itself too much in certain areas of the body is actually a symptom of a disease? Hard to believe, but the experts of the this field wouldn't just make it up without cold hard scientific facts. Mon, 4 Aug 2008 05:18:00 +0200 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/Anemia http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/Anemia Aside from skin whitening products, what makes a man turn white? One reason would be a sudden shock triggering fear, which makes the blood flow temporarily stop in its tracks, giving him a pale look. What makes a dog turn pale? That would be hard to tell because of all the hair surrounding its body, but you could see the changes in the pink fleshy skin around its mouth and eyeballs – the cause of that would most likely be Canine Anemia. This condition is characterized by a loss of red blood cells in its body. Red blood cells act as “delivery boys” carrying important “packages” for the different “departments” inside humans, as well as in dogs. Fri, 1 Aug 2008 07:21:54 +0200 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/Epilepsy http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/Epilepsy As you read more and of the articles in this website regarding dog disease, you'll begin to notice that many of the ailments experienced by man can be experienced by canine. And like most sicknesses of humans, they too can be cured (not all, most). One disease shared in common is Epilepsy – you've probably heard of this before, and maybe it even happened to one of your relatives and perhaps even you. Canine Epilepsy is one of the "not so typical" disorders occurring in dogs regardless of breed all over the world. How will you know if your pooch has Epilepsy? The most obvious and dud give away of the disorder would be seizures. Thu, 31 Jul 2008 07:49:08 +0200 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/Von-Willebrand-Disease http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/Von-Willebrand-Disease This dog disease is as unique as it sounds – the Von Willebrand Disease easily distinguishes itself from the other types of ailment because it shows symptoms that aren't common to the majority of those existing to date. The sickness may come in 3 types, the first one being Type I, which is the mildest and most common to the Doberman species. According to statistics as conducted by a team of researchers (I don't remember their names), 70% of all members of the Doberman dog breed carry Von Willebrand Disease. Doesn't that blow your mind, yeah? If you're an owner of this breed, then you better have it undergo a check-up. Wed, 30 Jul 2008 07:44:26 +0200 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/Demodex http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/Demodex There exists a wide array of dog skin diseases caused by all kinds of parasites, bacteria, and mites – one in particular having disgusting symptoms would be caused by the Demodex mite. They can be found in many dogs in certain areas. It can also be hereditary, and transferred during the breeding process. When this mite attaches itself to the skin of the canine, it'll eventually spread and have disgusting looking effects on your pooch – this dog disease is known as Demodicosis. Basically, there are three types in which the ailment stated above may come in, the first one being Juvenile Demodicosis. Tue, 29 Jul 2008 05:07:03 +0200 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/cancer http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/cancer Being tested positive for such a disease can cause panic, making them feel that there is no hope of survival. Many people that have been diagnosed with cancer often make a list of things that have to do before they meet their Maker. A “parent” of a dog or a pet owner having their “child” (the dog) diagnosed with cancer may also feel that treatment would be pointless – instead of looking for solutions for curing canine cancer, they break down and cry, and spend the remaining days that the poor pooch has together. Others often opt to “mercy kill” their dog rather than to see them undergo any further suffering. Mon, 28 Jul 2008 05:25:14 +0200 http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/Mange http://www.doggyweb.info/diseases/Mange You've heard of the the expression “mangy mutt”, but do you actually know where the term came from? Some say (I say) that the word “mangy” was probably derived from the term “mange”, which is a dog disease that is caused by a certain parasite that attacks the dog's skin. The end result of mange if left untreated would be a pooch full of scabs, dried blood on the surface, hair loss all over its body, and blister – this would leave your pet in a repulsive state, unbearable to the human eye and touch of the blind. Hence the term mangy mutt, which best describes all sorts of physically disgusting looking pets.
